This example is of one of the flaws in having a democratic form of gov't. If such things happen in sub-Sarahan Africa nobody is surprised. We need to wake up and be aware of this while we are busy state-building other places.

The thieves are not only stealing taxpayers' assets they are exploiting our freedoms, undermining democracy, corrupting our way of life and reducing the glories of the USA to the base level of a Third World banana republic.
