Remember those U.S. Govt. auditors who were prevented from doing their jobs, who were told to stop investigations of Oil Co.s that didn't pay rayalties to the U.S. Govt. for oil & gas taken from public land.
Well here's more of the story. A group of U.S. officials misused their offices to serve their own ends, or those of oil co.s who wined and dined them.
Drugs, sex, money...it could be a soap opera except that it's true.
And the Justice Dept. has refused to file charges against the higher-ups!
The companies involved are among those whose executives met with Cheney at the beginning of this Administration to write the new U.S. energy policy.
Can we look at this Administration and say "Rotten to the core"?
It does appear so.
