Custer Battles was sued under a unique law which empowers private citizens to bring an action to recover monies defrauded from the federal government, and to keep to to 30% as a reward for doing so. You would be amazed at how many of America’s largest companies, ranging from Shell Oil down to Walmart, have settled for figures as high as $900 Million.

I can hardly stand it. Once in a great while the thieves are found guilty and even that gets overturned.<br /> The cigarette companies don’t have to pay their fines. Ken Lay died after he was found guilty, but still his estate won’t have to pay the people whom he cheated. Now we have another example of the extreme corruption at the top in this country. We have to get rid of these people. We must vote them out and get people in with some integrity. My God, this is beyond disgusting.</p> I am so so sick of this. I can hardly stand it.

If Battles was capable of producing the video of the shootings of Iraqi vehicles,and apparantly doing it without a single twinge of guilt, doesn’t everyone realize just what this admin has turned loose on the world.
Higher slaves from “third-world” countries, pay them slave wages if at all and tell the rest of the world to simply go eff themselves.
That’s what is going on folks.
