who said the people fronting the War on Terror are a bunch of bozos who think everyone else is even stupider than they are?

edit: On reflection, it is only fair to include that other partner nation in the War on Terror, Australia, in this round up of the latest advances in cutting edge counter-terrorism techniques
How about...
'Dr Mohammed Haneef, 27, is accused of "recklessly" giving a mobile phone SIM card to one of the terror suspects.'

"I think there needs to be an investigation into the practice by publishers of paying massive advances to politicians, which they know will never be recouped. Blunkett got ten times the advance I did, and he sold a sixth of the books. By my reckoning about £193,000 of his advance is still outstanding. Campbell will have to sell over half a million books to reach his advance. These are not commercial deals, they are backhanders from publishers. The deals are reached while people are still in office - therefore, it is a bribe. Blair reportedly put the agreed advance for his memoirs against the Connaught Square mansion. He would have to sell over 6 million copies to clear his advance.
Advances, like loans for peerages, are non-repayable if you don't clear. This is yet another way our politicos are bought by big business groups. Rupert Murdoch is the largest owner of publishing houses in the UK, followed by German conglomerate Bertelsmann."
Anyone got any other examples? Eg purposely loosing court cases where gov money is at stake.
Ha ha
Good one
It's certainly more inventive than just offering someone a board spot in the Carlyle Group

Presumably the idea was borrowed from the entirely unconnected money-laundering industry - Casinos being my favourite example
Step 1: Make lots of money selling drugs and people
Step 2: Take it to the nearest Mega Casino
Step 3: Exchange 20-30% of that naughty money in return for some nice shiny new money by means of games of chance
= An apparent loss is really a gain and everyone is a winner!!
