...THAILAND. In recent months, they have seen other accusatory headlines, including NAVY AWARDS JOB TO SUSPECT FIRM, STUDY SHOWS WASTE BY PENTAGON, LYNDA BIRD'S PAL WINS CHILE POST and ARMY'S M-16 PROGRAM is "UNBELIEVABLE." All appeared above exclusive stories produced by what the Associated Press calls its Special Assignment Team, a group of Washington-based reporters with deceptively everyday faces and an unusual mission: to ignore daily deadlines in search of what its leader calls "the submerged dimension" of the federal government...
