Not Good
Here's one from the Justice Department we missed a few weeks ago. (Hey, the sun was in our eyes.):
"A former employee of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pleaded guilty to providing sensitive contract information to a bidder seeking to win a multi-billion dollar government contract, Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew Friedrich of the Criminal Division announced," according to a DOJ press release.
"David M. Honbo, 60, of Las Vegas, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to one count of violating the Procurement Integrity Act. Honbo admitted he provided bid evaluation information to a consultant employed by a multinational consortium trying to obtain the lucrative contract to relocate the U.S. Army base in Yongsan, South Korea. Honbo's plea was accepted by the Honorable Rosemary M. Collyer, U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia, and sentencing was set for Oct. 30, 2008. Honbo faces up to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 at sentencing."
Government Inc. wonders (with a queasy feeling) how often this kind of thing happens?

Not Good:
Perhaps David Honbo, unauthorized seller of U.S. Army information, as living in Las Vegas, perhaps felt that his government salary was not sufficient. The fact that he was apprehended and prosecuted, shows that some parts of government,do at times, function correctly. The human error is ongoing everywhere, and that is why Liberalism serves to cushion the impact. But Devils' Island would serve as a good deterrent, notwithstanding. But shouldn't your concern also extend to the Congressional legislators, who purposely leave
enough voids in the floorboards, to leave opportunity for loss, such as the
heretofore, laissez-faire stance of the Congressional Banking Committees.
What say you?

I'd say your grasp of English and grammar is shaky.
The pronouns alone gave me a headache.
Why don't you give this a try: say what you mean, make your point, and good god leave out a few "buts" and commas!
hugs - your fellow 3rd party advocate.
