I read just a small portion of this and it makes me sick. I now see how the government uses its power to get what it wants--with no concern of the consequences to anyone. Its a big article and has video. Jason Leopold should get a pulitizer for this story. I even remember when he was a producer for Peter B. Collins when his radio show was on the air here. This dude works his butt off. Cheers to ya Jason.
