I'm writing a quick one because I want to get this out fast re: Sarah Palin:
I wrote about the Veco scandal (Alaska, Ted Stevens, et al) in July of last year:
Veco Scandal Reaches Into White House, etc.
Veco II
She is very much connected with the vote in favor of the Veco Alaska Pipeline. The Alaskan state legislators were bought and paid for. That vote was so obviously corrupt it was common knowledge. Just check the Anchorage papers.
Veco was one of Bush's "Pioneers". They lavished money everywhere in the Republican party.
One story is that a legislator made a bargain with a Veco point man: If he voted in favor of the pipeline, he had to be made warden of Veco's new prison in Aruba.
I guess it gets cold up there, eh? After the top Veco executives were arrested, they sang like canaries.
I'll connect the dots later on when I have more time.
