Washington, D.C., August 29, 2005. Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, was the senior Army Corps of Engineers contracting officer since 1997 until she was demoted on Saturday, August 27 after she raised concerns over contracts abuse related to the award of billions of dollars in contracts by the Army Corps of Engineers to Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root. Greenhouse was brought into the Corps by a former Corps Commander, Major General Ballard, to help him clean up the contract abuse. When General Ballard hired her in 1997 she was overqualified - three master's degrees and more than 20 years of contracting experience in private industry, the Army and the Pentagon. "She is probably the most professional person I've ever met," Ballard said during an interview with AP.

Washington, DC., March 29, 2005. The United States Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision today by recognizing that whistleblowers are protected from discrimination under Title IX. The Court's decision in Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education affords the protections of Title IX to whistleblowers who have been retaliated against based on their sex.
