    --------- salty3, ok you read the article

    or at least the quote copied, and it went over your head.

    conflict of interest?

    appearance of a conflict of interest?

    fox in charge of the henhouse?

    Is no one else in USA qualified for this post besides the "chief operating officer from 2006 until now" of a "for-profit contractor" that is a recipient of VA funds for a key gatekeeping service?

    does this help?------------

    Mr. Swart, I`m not young enough to know everything, but I do know that condescension and insult won`t carry the argument in intelligent company. As already stated, this article employs only innuendo and passive unattributed accusations to impugn Mr. Peake. If he`s all that bad, there must be some evidence of that lying around somewhere. As is, the article doesn`t rise to the level of high school journalism and should have been deleted by the editor, for it succeeds only in impugning Salon itself.
