3. Herald's Cenziper wins Pulitzer for `House of Lies'

<snip>

"Debbie Cenziper of The Miami Herald won the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting, it was announced Monday afternoon.

Cenziper led a reporting team that did more than 30 articles in the 2006 series House of Lies, which revealed developers took millions of dollars in taxpayer money to build affordable housing for the poor, but failed to deliver, leaving thousands without their promised homes.

The series led to massive changes in the county housing agency, which had lost $12 million to developers who didn't keep their promises to build homes.

Three developers have been arrested:

• Oscar Rivero, who is accused of receiving $1.7 million in public housing dollars but built only one house -- his own, an 11,000 square-foot mansion with a wine cellar and billiard room.

• Raul Masvidal, charged with using housing agency money to buy his own sculpture of a watermelon slice.

• Reynaldo Diaz, accused of receiving $940,000 to build 28 affordable homes, but building only two."

9. Big Kudos to Charlie Savage re: signing statements

I think that his story exposed the worse crime of the Bush crime family. It goes to the heart of the "rule of law" matter.
