I smell a whitewash being done on this story.

Nagin is now saying they knew all along that the phantom cops didn't exist. That they just pretended that they had that many cops in order to scare the citizens and to be eligible for the federal money. And they used the fed money for some other projects. Gimme an F'n break!

We need to keep the heat up on this story or else they're gonna get away with this.

WAIT A MINUTE!! The article you are quoting was a FARCE!! Nagin probably made no such statement. Note that the thread was titled: "Semi-news". Also read the rest of the article from the original web site from Arizona. Do you really believe that Senator McCain advised Cindy to register as a lobbyist??! It was sarcasm.

Uhhh. . . When I read the link on that other thread, it turned out to be a very subtle satire piece disguised as news- and a lot of the FReepers on the thread didn't get it.

Please let everyone know where they can see this quote from Nagin. If so he's put himself in jail.
