A DOCUMENT linking Margaret Thatcher to a US corruption probe is so explosive civil servants have been asked to ensure it remains "sealed".

The 79-year-old former Premier is said to have met Congressman Tom DeLay in Britain while he was on a suspected favours-for-freebies scam.

In return for his free holiday, DeLay - who resigned as Republican leader of Congress last week after being accused of laundering political funds - allegedly backed legislation favourable to lobby groups.

Disclosing that US authorities were seeking aid from UK counterparts, a secret Home Office briefing says: "One visit to the UK involved a meeting with Mrs Margaret Thatcher.

What next? Abramoff is mentioned in this article too. Very interesting. Hope it isn't a dupe.

"If Lady Thatcher is found to have been involved in the alleged scam she could face a criminal probe in the US or even be banned from travelling to the country"

Well, her son's a terrorist, y'know. He can't travel to the U.S. because he was involved in a coup to overthrow the government of Equitorial Guinea

Wonder if DeLay's involved in that, too? Wouldn't be surprised.

They don't look at corruption in a "free market" as a bad thing. Often times they call it "gaining an edge".
