Whether it's illegal or not, it doesn't sit well with an nation that is sick of the White House being treated like a Motel 6.... And since this nation was partially built upon "big oil" and the transportaion era it ushered in, I hardly see where you are able to consider them "crooks", while ignoring some other more obvious crooks. In fact, if you wish to explore exactly what industry reaps some of the highest profits margins from providing critical infrastructure, I suggest you look MSFT, ORCL, and CSCO... MSFT's profit margins are in the 50% range..... What's the average profit margin of "Big Oil" over the past 15 years? Get your priorities straight and quit playing the demagogue...

Pay-day? Next you'll say "Nothing Improper". September 20, 2000 Justice officials given big bonuses By Jerry Seper THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Clinton administration has handed out $180 million in bonuses to top Justice Department executives since 1993, including Lee J. Radek, head of the agency's Public Integrity Section, who vigorously opposed the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate Vice President Al Gore. Bonuses also went to Robert K. Bratt, former head of the department's international police training section, and his top assistant, Joseph R. Lake Jr., who were accused last week of mishandling classified documents and improperly obtaining visas for two Russian women. The bonus payments are outlined in an ongoing investigation by the House Judiciary Committee, which is probing the cash awards program. (cont) washtimes.com
