Not looking good for State Department Inspector General "Cookie" Krongard. Today he told the House Oversight Committee that his brother wasn't on the Blackwater advisory board. Then when he was later confronted with news to the contrary, he said he'd only just found out and would henceforth recuse himself from all Blackwater inquiries.

But Spencer Ackerman just interviewed Krongard's brother, "Buzzy" Krongard, who told Spencer that he definitely did tell his brother all about it. Only a few weeks ago apparently.

Perjury charges have been made of much less.
