Sic Semper GOP

We've had an occasional bad apple in the barrel of police, but I don't ever recall any rogue prosecutors.

Funny that this topic came up tonight again at work (don't look at me). My coworker still thinks the guy is still alive somewhere.

Here are some stories from the NY Times.

We have our share of corruption, but it seems to be our business leaders who are succumbing to it rather than our public officials. I used to work for one of the convicted guys back in the early 1990's, before the incidents they are now being convicted were performed, but it makes me wonder sometimes. I wonder how many businesses are corrupt, and what percentage of these "white collar" crimes get caught. For example, the trouble that Hecker is in is only because of his bankruptcy. Had he been able to carry on his racket, no one would have been the wiser to his brand of fraud.
