#1 "they returned from Louisiana"

What, besides corruption, is the connection with Louisiana, incubator of corruption?

#2 If he was in medical procurement, he had better hope to hell he gets a civilian jury.

#3 $9.6 million received and $5.4 million anticipated?

The sheer greed is amazing .... and it will be VERY interesting to find out if any of those contractors were connected to the Kuwaiti royal family. That's a whole lot of pocket change to be coming from only 8 sources.

#4 The Ismail fellow was stashing his money in Dearbornistan ... could there be a Iranian/Syrian link?

Probably had family there, and visited them. The only things in Louisiana the military would be interested in are an ammo plant in the northwest of the state, oil refineries all across the southern part, sugar, and Tabasco sauce from Avery Island.

#7 I'd certainly like to see the prosecution and exclusion of all suppliers who cooperated in this bribery scheme. Someone who relies upon influence to win contracts usually won't have any scruples about cutting corners with quality and reliability, things that are crucial to our military's fighting strength.

#8 We caught a couple Marine SNCOs and an officer complicit in skimming off the top when dealing w/local contractors last time out. What broke the case is when they came home and one of the wives suspected one of the husbands cheating. That, and all three were dumb enough to buy BMW's, new harley's, and a Jaguar.......

#9 pretty obviously, they, like so many others, were discombobulated in their ~~criminal~~ enterprise being interrupted by the unfortunate God-driven Katrina. Sounds like they're entitled to compensation

#10 Both the major and his wife should be put up against a wall and shot. He betrayed his oath as an officer and they betrayed the public trust. From such treachery there is no way back. Shoot them quick and bury them deep.

#11 Concur with RVW - if guilty, do the Danny Deever on them quickly. Otherwise, they may run for Congress - and end up heading some Congressional ethics committee.
