What is the current allowable profit margin on treason? Yeah, this may not meet the constitutional definition but it meets the meaning of the word. Anyone want to bet that none of these companies is losing anything by paying these "fines", "penalties" or whatever they are. Any company officers fired or charged with crimes? They should have their feet put to the fire to find out who, in our government, winked at these illegal acts. We know who profited from them by way of political contributions.

That's the problem. Company officers can goto jail for cooking the books, but treason? Pay a few fines and it's okay. I would love to see Bush go after Boeing/Hughes/etc. but I don't think it would happen. There is not enough public outcry.
