I read the comment titled "The Truth" regarding whistleblower Kenneth Pedeleose. The fact of the matter is that on August 17, 2009 a case was forwarded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that identified 40 errors and omissions made by the Court. More specifically, the Judges left out 40 pieces of evidence (omissions and errors). Thirty Nine (39) of the omissions and errors were made known to the Court during the review of the case. One involved a fine point of independence of the Department of Defense Inspector General. This evidence was very specific. Essentially, only one half of the case (Agency side) was shown to the public. Kenneth Pedeleose is a whistleblower that has supported criminal allegations and worked Senate investigations. In the big picture, the case actually has just begun.

This article is a complete distortion of fact. Reading the Federal Circuit's decision (attached to the article), reveals that this case had nothing to do with Mr. Pedeleose's whistleblowing regarding the C-130J. Even HE did not allege that. The facts show that Mr. Pedeleose simply failed to cooperate in an investigation regarding a rumor (advanced by HIM) that management planned to fire a certain set of DCMA employees. This rumor caused a great deal of upset and stress to employees at LMM, and was the proper subject of an investigation. When Mr. Pedeleose refused to cooperate in that investigation, even when the IG urged him to do so, and told him it had nothing to do with his whistleblower case, he still refused. Those who worked at LMM during this timeframe know the truth about this situation. Whether or not there was merit to his earlier C-130J allegations is not the issue. One whistleblower complaint does not confer carte blanch for any kind of outrageous behavior, and it is reassuring to see that the board and the court agreed.
