Lawmakers want resolution of whistle-blowers probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two members of Congress urged the Pentagon on Thursday to finish an investigation into two whistle-blower pilots in Virginia who complained about problems with the F-22 fighter jet.

Virginia Sen. Mark Warner and Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger say that both Virginia Air National Guard pilots have seen their careers suffer since raising their concerns, including in a “60 Minutes” interview two years ago. In a letter Thursday, the lawmakers urged Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to complete an investigation into alleged retaliation against the two pilots, Capt. Joshua Wilson and Maj. Jeremy Gordon, assigned to Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia.
