Default It Keeps Coming...GOP Cornered The Corruption Market

Quote:
WASHINGTON - Three Army Reserve officers and a U.S. contractor were indicted Wednesday as part of a bid-rigging scam that steered millions of dollars of Iraq reconstruction projects to a contractor for cash, luxury cars, jewelry and other pricey goods.
The husband of one of the military officials also was charged with helping to smuggle at least $10,000 into the United States that the couple used to pay for improvements to their New Jersey house.
The scam was outlined in a 25-count indictment filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey.

Mr Madsden seems to not differentiate between investigations and convictions?

Contracts were awarded almost exclusively to Republican and RNC contributing firms during this boondoggle. Certainly you knew that. Thats well documented.

Heck, they hired reconstruction folks based on applications submitted to the Heritage Foundation. Speaking of which, where's Patsfan in Maine?

I poke fun because where one side has recently been suffering from more corruption exposure/allegations than the other, it's not as if either is a resident darling. Politics these days is truly becoming the glorification of the lesser slop. Bob stole $5, Dave stole $10, so Bob is a great guy.

perhaps you're right, RW... but i'll tend to side with the team that doesn't pick fights around the globe based on lies, nor alienates the rest of the globe, nor ignores global climate change...
