Stuart Bowen, the Special Inspector General for Iraq, and his agency is being investigated by the FBI, Congress and the Army. Evidence about improprieties at SIGIR have been presented to a grand jury. The improprieties include excessive overtime (including some people working up to 1400 hours extra a year and making over $250,000), e-mail snooping by Bowen and the retaliatory firing of a whistle blower.
I've written in praise of Bowen several times. Of course, Bowen has a response to the allegations. Overtime was cheaper than hiring more people. The charges are made by disgruntled former employees. Looking at some employee's e-mail was justified.
