I knew it... That's why they kept dodging the question about his clearance, merely stating that he had submitted his forms. As an aside, how long does it take the NIA to give a security clearance? It's the end of October and they still haven't done it!! The . .more man could have undermined the whole of CIPRO and left the country in that time!! . .less by Samjank on October 28 2009, 23:53 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it
