<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>But who is this writer and what is this publication or group? I accept the information as correct as quoating from Amtrak's Inspector General's reports. But what is their reason for being concerned? Are they anti Amtrak, anti Obama, anti government operation of Amtrak, pro highway lobby, pro Obama or pro Santorum or who? I accept he information as correct but question its completeness and why they are presenting it. Who is Besse and what is The Caller, who is behind them, paying her salary and publishing the material. The picture is incomplete. If it were Trains Magazine, we can accept. If it were the Wall Street Journal, we'd know their point of view, likewise for say, the New York Times, or Road and Driver or Bus and Truck magazines. So who is Besse and who is behind The Caller? [/quote]</p> <p>It does not matter. The report is a primary source document. As pointed out below, anyone has access to the Inspector General's reports. By the same token, anyone has access to the General Accountability Office (GAO) reports.</p> <p>On occasion I have read articles in the New York Times that drew what I believed was an erroneous conclusion. When I checked with the GAO, as an example, sure enough I was right. The reporter had skewed the data to reflect his or her biases. </p>
