I have to wonder about this guy.. his other PHD is probably quite real.

Kind of makes you wonder if you want a liar like that working in such a..."sensitive" region. No telling how seriously he took his other degrees.

Looks like folks are updating some of those pages ... but checkout the cached versions to see what Google found interesting about them :)

You'll love the story of Laura Callahan (former Deputy CIO at the Department of Homeland Stupidity).
"HSD official obtained Ph.D. from diploma mill"
http://www.washingtontechnology.com/news/1_1/daily_news/20849-1.html
"Hamilton University’s enrollment application and enrollment invitation spell out the simple requirements for students who wish to obtain a Ph.D.
# $3,600, payable up front by bank draft or personal check only. Hamilton does not accept credit cards.
# Completing one course at home on “personal, business and professional ethics.” Hamilton provides the course workbook, and the student must complete the open-book examination that is included. The school’s materials state the course and test require an average of five to eight hours to complete.
# Writing one paper relevant to the area in which the Ph.D. is being sought. The minimum length for the paper is 2,000 words, or roughly four pages, and will “be referred to as a dissertation,” the materials say."
What's nuts once she got her "PHD" she insisted her subordinates refer to her as "doctor".

The best part about http://www.washingtontechnology.com/news/1_1/daily_news/20849-1.html ? The journalist's name is (wait for it) Patience Wait.
