BAE: DOJ Is Investigating Us

Well, that clears that up. After a long are-they-or-aren't-they period, BAE, the British defense giant accused of paying $2 billion in kickbacks to Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia over 20 years, admitted today that the Justice Department is investigating the company.

Gonzales' DOJ is "investigating" BAE for funding Bandar Bush?

I'm sure the investigation will be fair and balanced.

What do the shareholders have to say about this? Or does the Carlyle Fund control BAE in which case everything's fine...

If career prosecutors control the investigation while the sinking "Bushies" flee, the resulting payback opportunity could well result in some interesting data.

Of course, the need for someone to quash or control the timing of such little problems also explains why Alberto will never voluntarily resign.
