amazing when you are at the billion dollar level you can keep this kind of story out of the news and have a plea agreement made that does not involve going to jail.
That my friends is the power of money. You can bet some lobbist from Chicita heavily influenced senators on the justice committee to make this happen.
The one person named as having paid off the terrorists, Bob Olson (Chiquita General Counsel) lists the following people/orgs as those he has contributed money to:
1995: Bob Dole (R),Max Baucus (D)
1998: Gex Williams (R
1999: George W. Bush (R)
2000: Repulican National Committee
2003: Rob Portman (R)
2004: Rob Portman (R), National Republican Congressional Committee
2005: Mike Dewine (R), Pat Dewine (R)
Who knows who else he has raised money for or who the other 9 have bought support from... best government money can buy!
