"Few think of unusually low expenses or no claims for legitimate expenses as a sign of fraudulent activity."

It may not be a sign of fraudulent FINANCIAL activity, but it sure as hell is a sign of fraudulent REPORTING activity if the reporter is supposed to be traveling all around the country, sending in stories from the field. Somebody was not keeping an eye on the shop.

Howell Raines is a PC jester who was not ready for prime time. The NYT will never recover from this clown's lack of managment ethics....which is a good thing. The Times deserves to be scorned. My question: Why doesn't the Washington Times do the expose on this sordid story? They would do a great service to U.S. journalism.
