Danielle Brian runs the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), a non-profit investigative group that has been unmasking waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government for decades, usually in the military budget.

I don’t always agree with POGO’s take on particular issues, but I’ve lauded their work for a long time. As much as I admire the U.S. military and marvel at its courage, technological accomplishments and faithfulness to traditional virtues like duty and honor, the fact remains that waste, fraud and abuse are found everywhere in government.
