You seem so easily persuaded. Do you, perhaps, live in McDermott's district? I live in Jim Moran's district and we know he sold out to AlQaida AND Saddam Hussein. He did so frequently. Without these guys Jim would not have had any campaign funds or cash to pay his bills.
(Oh, mygosh, I've just named two of the conspirators!)
So you live in VA? Most all politicos are corrupt.(BTW I was there to vote for Ollie).
