Feds Take Aim at Government Corruption

[NVMojo]

surprise, surprise!

WASHINGTON - Former Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland's guilty plea Thursday to a felony charge makes him only the latest in what is a steadily growing number of federal corruption prosecutions focusing on government officials.

Although totals have not yet been released, the number of such cases pursued by federal authorities has grown by as much as 15 percent over the last four years, according to a Justice Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The increase, said the official, reflects the high priority placed on public corruption cases rather than a sudden spike in the number of dishonest politicians.

But the steady slide of high-profile public officials into ethical and criminal scandals risks fostering increasing distrust of government leaders.

Leslie Swope's joy and relief at hearing her husband's voice on the phone from Iraq was muted by sadness yesterday. As Christmas lights twinkled through the fog that brought dusk prematurely over Puget Sound yesterday, Swope, whose husband, Staff Sgt. Kyle Swope, is a member of a Fort Lewis Stryker Brigade in Mosul, pulled herself together to support those who never again will hear their husbands, dads and sons on the other end of a phone line.

Six Fort Lewis Stryker Brigade soldiers were among 14 members of the U.S. military killed Tuesday in the deadliest attack to date on a U.S. base in Iraq, the Pentagon said yesterday.

Bush is personally responsible for every death, every wound, every heartache associated with the atrocity he has wreaked upon our Earth.

God bless us every one, but not you, Mr. Bush.
