Review for The Project On Government Oversight, Inc., Washington, DC, USA
POGO is often most successful at revealing government fraud, waste, and incompetence because of its independence. Inspectors General and the GAO (where I worked) do a good job much of the time but POGO is amazing in its performance of government oversight.

Review for The Project On Government Oversight, Inc., Washington, DC, USA
POGO is an exemplary public-service group that speaks truth to power -- then holds it accountable through practical revelations about the inner workings of government. When analyzing energy and science issues at GAO, I found myself many times crossing POGO's path, as both organizations are dedicated to exposing waste, fraud, and the abuse of power. POGO's methods are more direct that GAOs, and in many ways more effective for their timely revelations.
As a journalist covering the federal government, and as a Senior Analyst at GAO, I have spent decades investigating and exposing foolish and wasteful government programs. POGO is unique in its ability to be an independent and rigorous watchdog for the public interest.
