This was inevitable; not making excuses, but is anyone surprised about the charges, or the zeal of the prosecutors? I'm sure there were "irregularities" in BW's business practices. I'm also sure that this is what happens when the libs that've hated them for years don't have to worry about their top cover anymore. I'm just surprised it took them 16 months to put the case together.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
