POGO Releases Updated Federal Contractor Misconduct Database

So we've been teasing you about the upcoming re-release and updating of POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database.  While we're officially releasing it tomorrow, since the President just signed the FY 2009 Defense Authorization Act creating a government-wide (though not publicly available) database of information regarding the integrity and performance of federal contractors and grantees, we couldn't help but share the fact that it's AVAILABLE NOW.  In addition to doubling the list of contractors to cover the top 100, the new database includes new format changes, and new search and sort features.  For those naysayers, we will also be releasing our list of the major myths regarding a federal contractor responsibility database.  We are making you wait for that release, but I think we've made a compelling argument for the need for a government-wide contractor responsibility database many times.
