Jeb's buddy from MWI was dabbling in Nigeria as well.... let me look.... ah, here it is... and I saw enough of MWI's crap being bought by the state of Florida while I was there... it was CRIMINAL. NOT ONLY DO PEOPLE IN THIRD WORLD NATIONS SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPTION THAT AMURKAN CORPORATIONS SPREAD, WE DO AS WELL.. AND THAT'S A FACT.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investi-gating a second bribery case involving Nigeria. Halliburton admitted that its employees paid a $2.4 million bribe to a Nigerian government official for the pur-pose of receiving favorable tax treat-ment. As the Houston Chronicle points out, “left unanswered is how a ‘low-level employee’ could channel that much money from the company to the pockets of a corrupt official.”

U.S. fraud suit targets ex-partner of Jeb Bush
The Justice Department says a water pump company fraudulently helped Nigeria obtain $74-million in taxpayer-backed loans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gov. Jeb Bush's former business partner in a venture to sell water pumps abroad defrauded the U.S. government of more than $74-million, federal authorities contend in a lawsuit.

The Justice Department alleges that MWI Corp. of Deerfield Beach, a water pump company whose equipment Bush marketed to foreign countries, fraudulently helped Nigeria obtain U.S. taxpayer-backed loans during his father's administration.

Much of the loan money went for secret payoffs to Nigerian officials and equipment that was vastly overpriced and unneeded, the lawsuit says.

3. Boxer
I would send it to Senator Boxer, forget Feinstein.

The climate for whistle blowing is very bad, the threats to those who do, despite the law protecting them ,are made very clear to any "traitor" , Bush's penchant for secrecy, and loyalty is well known.
