USAID is responsible for much covert operations in destabilizing governments that the US President and right wing organizations find "troublesome". Like Cuba and Venezuela, for instance. If one of its chiefs is stepping down for some kind of wrongdoing (which is basically all that the organization does anyway) it must be bad. They sponsor radicals opposed to nations that the US government is opposed to under the blanket of "humanitarian aid". He must have done something baaaaaad! Or at least so in the eyes of the right. The official story is mismanagement of grant money. Perhaps he failed to pay some terrorist somewhere.
Bush Aide Resigns for Alleged Wrongdoing
Turning it over to the Justice Department is like asking Congress to investigate their own pay raises. I feel better already!
Bush Aide Resigns for Alleged Wrongdoing
The White House says an aide to President Bush has resigned because of the alleged misuse of grant money from U.S. Agency for International Development. Presidential spokesman Scott Stanzel says the former aide, Felipe Sixto, had been a special assistant to the president for intergovernmental affairs. Stanzel said Sixto was promoted to that position on March 1 and that he came forward on March 20 to tell his superiors about the alleged wrongdoing. Stanzel said it involved improprieties involving the use of grant money and Sixto's former employer, the Center for a Free Cuba. Stanzel says the matter has been turned over to the Justice Department.
