Title: DOE engineer files police report alleging incident at meeting

A Department of Energy engineer has filed a police report alleging she was physically prevented from leaving a Hanford meeting in December.
[...] The confrontation reportedly happened between two DOE employees and involved a disagreement about how much money should be paid to Bechtel National, which is building the Hanford vitrification plant.
The woman reported that as she tried to leave the meeting someone grabbed her arm to keep her from walking out, said Capt. Mike Cobb of the Richland police. [...]
“The Department of Energy will not tolerate harassment, intimidation or other inappropriate behavior from its employees,” DOE said in a statement when asked about the police report. “Any and all allegations will be investigated promptly and thoroughly.” [...]

There ARE some good guys ((gals!)) At the DOE after all….she possibly became physically ill watching her coworkers kiss the corporate giant Bechtel's ass…didn't they steal a bunch of taxpayer money over in Iraq during the early Bush years?…and felt the need for some fresh Hanford air…
Vitrify it all you want, you'll NEVER get rid of all the plutonium and fluoride pollution…we the Sheeple have become your ultimate vitrification plant, and we cost so much less than Bechtel or all the other self-sustaining military/industrial contractors!

After being awarded 2.4 billion dollars to rebuild Iraq, Bechtel comes under fire for over charging for services.
"More recently, companies involved with supplying the coalition forces in the Iraq War, such as Bechtel, KBR, Blackwater and Halliburton, have come under fire for allegedly overcharging for their services.[1] The modern private military company is also offered as an example of sanctioned war profiteering.[2] [3] On the opposing side, companies like Huawei Technologies, which upgraded Saddam's air-defense system between the two Gulf Wars, face such accusations."

I have to point out that Bechel and it's then CEO, George Schultz, were chomping at the bit to build the Aquaba pipeline to Jordan and milk Iraq for billions.
Shultz became Secretary of State under Reagan but kept his seat on Bechel's Board of Directors. In the 80's, Bechel and pals would sell *anything* to Saddam Hussein to fight Iran. Iran was the usual U.S. boogeyman back then, Bin Laden wasn't even on the radar. Hussein could get anything from the West back then: missile guidance systems, chemical weapons, nuke technology, people-grinders, just name it.
Bechel, Halliburton and a host of cronies shook down the Iraquis for billions, essentially giving them all the nuts and bolts for the future fantasy WMDs. That was chump change compared to how much they thought they could make with the Aquaba pipeline. When Hussein started hedging on Aquaba, Cronies Inc. and the West declared him #1 evil person and had him taken out – that would be via the Iraq war. They had to kill Hussein because a trial in the Hauge would expose Cronies Inc. pre-war profiteering.
Afghanistan? I'll spare you the story, the ending is the same: Bechel, Haliburton, et. al. feast on everyone's money.
Syria? Iran? Well, you can figure out where that's going…
Lybia? The banks were at the front of the line on that one, and Momar couldn't be allowed to the Hauge.
Heck, Ambassador Stevens was only privy to one Israeli arms-smuggling deal and they neutralized him live on the Fed's…

It's already widely known the US was supplying weapons to the Syrian insurgents. Stevens might have been killed by the weapons the US supplied, an international version of the Fast and Furious Border Patrol killings.
The real question is why the US didn't send help when the shooting started. The US government left those people to die.
A real morale booster with the military and State. Stupid f&%$s.

Thank you TIS. That is a lot of truth to present all at once. No propaganda, no misinformation, no spin, just plain old truth. Thanks again. And my understanding is that Stevens called for help for seven hours. General Ham was close enough to have provided it and was told to "stand down". Someone said that he responded "the hell with that" and was immediately relieved of his command by his second in command. The Administration brought him home (most unusual) because of "poor judgment" (direct quote). And they definitely don't tell anyone that his burned body was dragged through the streets afterward, nor do they remind anyone that he was not an Ambassador nor a Consul. In fact, they still have not said exactly what he was and are stonewalling it.
When Hillary Clinton accepted the responsibility for the incident, she smiled at the reporter and said "I accept full responsibility." That was laughable?

What is a vitrification plant? It sounds very ominous and very bad, at least on the surface.

That would be a plant that turns stuff to glass. I have heard of in-situ vitrification before where they glassify (not sure if that is a word) soil underground using a bunch of electric current to provide heat.
So Nuclear industry + Vitrification plant = What?
My guess is they are disposing of contaminated (radioactive) waste at Hanford. Anyone have better info?
