US Navy Commander Traded Military Secrets for Prostitutes and Lady Gaga Tickets
We're waiting for the BBC documentary
The "global force for good" is apparently commanded by easily-bribed Lady Gaga lovers. This is precious:
A Navy commander accused of trading military secrets for cash bribes, plane tickets, flings with prostitutes and Lady Gaga concert tickets pleaded guilty Thursday to corruption charges in federal court in San Diego.
Cmdr. Michael Misiewicz, 48, a graduate of the Naval Academy in Annapolis, became the eighth person to plead guilty in a gigantic corruption case that has rocked the Navy and reached high into the officer corps. More than 100 people remain under investigation for possible criminal, ethical or administrative violations.
Whores and Lady Gaga aside, the real story here is that this kind of corruption is less about "national security" and more about "wasting your taxes overseas while you drink lead-poisoned water at home":
Prosecutors and federal investigators accused Misiewicz of playing a key role in a long-running bribery scheme that enabled a Singapore-based defense contractor, Glenn Defense Marine Asia, to fleece the Navy of more than $20 million. The company held contracts for more than 25 years to resupply Navy vessels during port visits in Asia and has admitted to massively overcharging the government for its services.
Your move, BBC.

mm that's weird but not as weird as another naval captain officer was sacked just for questioning the ethics of Barack Obama as he ordered the Naval ship to go to the Arab country to buy a 5 million dollar home, using tax payers dollars for the trip their using that vessel for a private business sale of a home in Dubai i think it was; David wilcox whom mentioned it about three weeks ago on his blog site.
Well in the Navy, i think they got peas and gravy going right up to their knees deep, these days, without adding another village idiot on the high seas.
It's called pay-to-play politics. You donate to my campaign and you will get the government job or contract. Mayor Ray Nagen of New Orleans used it, and Mayo Rahm Emanuel of Chicago also is a reported practitioner of this political controversy.And yes, it is a threat to the free market system. l
OMG, what next?
