The US system of Justice is seriously perverted when thousands of "black farmers" and a profiteer, imo, like a Shirley Sherrod are rewarded for making fraudulent claims and men like Colonel Lakin and Ambassador Keyes are derided, harrassed, imprisoned for attempting to get a legitimate hearing on the facts of what may be the worst fraud in history.
Same week Lakin is released from prison where he was held for trying to stop what we, Lakin and nearly half of Americans suspect is a massive fraud, Sherrod is returned to the USDA where she will continue the massive exploitative fraud of the Pigford and related actions.
