NASA Safety Panel Members Quit

[dArKeR]

Nine experts on a NASA space safety advisory panel have resigned in the wake of sharp criticism from the Columbia accident investigation board and by Congress, the space agency said Tuesday.

The members of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel and two staff members of the panel sent letters of resignation to NASA administrator Sean O'Keefe.

Glen Mahone, a NASA spokesman, said that the ASAP chairman, Shirley McCarty, said in a cover letter to O'Keefe that the resignations "will give you and the Congress the freedom to revitalize the panel and reshape its charter and mission."

O'Keefe, in accepting the resignations, said that the Columbia accident investigation showed that "a wide range of oversight functions should be strengthened within the agency.

With the other desertions of members of "Team ShrubCo", I see more than ever that control eminates from the White House and Dimbo's "working people" are sacrifical goats when things go wrong and someone has to answer for mistakes.

His EPA Chief was pressured by the White House to issue an "all-clear advisory" for political reasons before the dangers were known...at a cost of how many lives?

How many other insiders have and/or will bail out before the s**t hits the fan besides Michael Powell?

This Administration has sacrificed a lot of good people keeping scum like Ken Lay free and monied along with 3 Million jobs and the Constitution of the US?

Be careful of what you say...Asskrap has an excuse....
