I vaguely remember this when it was happening - all the news coverage seemed sketchy and dismissive of the connections to high-level politicians. I wonder if there is any tie-in between this scandal and the George Hansen story - they occurred around the same time. George hansen was a Congressman from Idaho that was trying to expose government corruption and was subsequently setup and convicted and tortured by the US Federal prison system. His conviction was later overturned after he had already served his time. Here's an interesting read on what he went through. Learning his story was a big part of my awakening process.
