Attorney General Eric Holder told an audience in Paris on Monday that he and President Barack Obama are committed to battling corruption as "one of the great struggles of our time."
Holder, addressing the 35-nation Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development, said the World Bank estimates that more than $1 trillion in bribes are paid out each year.
"Put simply, corruption undermines the promise of democracy," Holder said. "It imperils development, stability, and faith in our markets. And it weakens the rule of law."

maybe Holder should look himself in the mirror..
Um, doesn’t he mean “creating corruption”? After all, that is the goal of the entire administration to which he belongs!
Like a head weasel telling all the other weasels that they need to join in with stopping raids on the chicken coop.
Was he giggling? bookmark.
all kinds of corruption....spitzer for one...
Straight from the horses ass himself.
Pot...Kettle!
The guy who got a pardon for Mark Rich speaking of corruption, That’s Rich.
In Paris on our dime, This scum never lived so good.
My head just exploded at Holder’s brazonly dishonest mega-bullsh*t.
The Audacity of Hype!
That image came to mind.
You mean like dropping charges against the panthers, even thought they were not contesting the charge?
You forgot the barf alert.
I think that Eric The Red means that he is determined to see that the corruption of the Stroker Regime continues unchecked and unfettered.
holder speaking against corruption is like clinton speaking out against oral sex.

US attorney general to visit Gulf Coast Tuesday
31 May 2010 19:44:15 GMT
Source: Reuters
(Adds details of visit, background)
WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will survey the damage from the Gulf Coast oil spill on Tuesday and meet with federal prosecutors and state attorneys general, the Justice Department said on Monday.
It will be Holder’s first trip to survey the damage before what legal experts believe will be a criminal investigation into the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion last month that killed 11 workers and led to the gushing oil spill.
Holder has said the Justice Department was looking into whether there was any “malfeasance” related to the oil spill and that his department was monitoring the situation to ensure those responsible pay for the damage and cleanup.

How the heck would Holder know?
