Whistleblower in ‘Zero Dark Thirty' case gets bucks and Civilian award
Daniel Meyer, who previously oversaw the Defense Department's decisions on whistleblower cases, also accused the Pentagon inspector general's office of targeting him for being gay. As part of the agreement, the Pentagon inspector general's office said it would give Meyer an undisclosed monetary settlement, according to three people with knowledge of the negotiations. They asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the matter. The inspector general's office also promised to give Meyer two awards in "recognition for his services," a Sept. 19 settlement document obtained by McClatchy says. Meyer, who is now the top official overseeing whistleblower retaliation complaints for the intelligence community, agreed to drop the complaint he’d filed with an administrative panel that handles grievances by federal employees. Meyer had accused his former Defense Department bosses of "manipulation of a final report to curry favor" with Panetta. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-10-02 |
