There are at least 2 still at Labor in some capacity: Marko Elez and Luke Farritor. We're pretty sure Luke has burrowed in as a career employee (anyone here think he competed fairly for that position?). Elez is still a political appointee. Both are in the secretary's office and making bank.

To be clear, if someone in the US Navy in WWII had (for example) ordered the survivors of a stricken U-Boat to be killed in the water even though self-evidently they were hors de combat, this would have resulted in a court martial.
