Lawmakers fight Accenture 'corporate expat' deal

About time somebody in Congress said "Enough!"

"The United States government should not be doing business with those who want all the benefits of citizenship without any of the responsibilities that come along with it," DeLauro (D-Conn) said in a statement. Accenture did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A House committee passes a measure aimed at blocking a major homeland security contract awarded to Bermuda-based Accenture.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
