Washington AP. Pentagon inspectors told Congress that defense contractors still lack serious self policing and the Defense Department may not get funds to hire needed fraud investigators. Inspector General June Gibbs Brown noted investigators rose from 375 six years ago to over 1,000 now, but at least 450 more are needed. She warned budget shortfalls make hiring unlikely. Derek Vander Schaaf echoed concerns on ongoing fraud and bribery probes.
