Of course they got a high score. All that the grade is based upon is the document that the VA prepared, not how true it was. If these idiots want to see how the VA's performance and accountability actually stack up to other agencies, then they need to go inside the agency and review things. I'm sure Peake is smart enough to prepare a document that makes everything appear rosey. What a bunch of crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Report on VA Performance Honored for Ninth Year in a Row
Peake: VA "Best of the Best" in Providing Clear Information
WASHINGTON (May 15, 2008) - Continuing its commitment to give veterans
clear, valuable information on how the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) is performing, for the ninth year in a row, VA has been rated by an
independent research center as having one of the best annual performance
reports in the federal sector.
"Veterans have the right to know whether this Department is meeting its
obligations to them," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B.
Peake. "This prestigious, independent group has found -- once again --
that VA is among the best of the best in the federal sector for
providing meaningful information to the American public about our
operations and performance."
Since 2000, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University has examined
the performance and accountability reports issued annually by federal
agencies. This year, VA's report was third among 24 federal departments
and agencies. VA also tied for having the highest score in both
transparency and leadership, an example of the Department's commitment
to provide information that is useful and easy to understand and that
clearly describes VA's contribution to America.
Called Ninth Annual Performance Report Scorecard: Which Federal Agencies
Best Inform the Public?, the new Mercatus study found VA's report is "a
user-friendly and informative document."
"The Department [of Veterans Affairs] continues to be an innovator in
performance accountability and reporting," the study's authors said in a
press statement.
"These findings show that VA has developed a management culture that
sets high standards, measurable goals, and encourages accountability to
the American public," Peake said.
VA published its latest performance and accountability report in
November 2007. It documents the Department's progress toward ensuring
America's veterans and their families receive timely, compassionate,
high-quality care and benefits. "
