Ex-Army master sergeant pleads guilty to bribery
HONOLULU (AP) — Former Army Master Sgt. Ronald Joseph Radcliffe has pleaded guilty to bribery and money laundering charges stemming from his tour of duty in Iraq in 2004 to 2005.

Radcliffe entered his plea Friday in U.S. District Court in Honolulu.

He last deployed from Hawaii with the 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division.

Radcliffe dealt with Turkish and Iraqi companies that wanted lucrative Army contracts. He admitted receiving at least $37,600 in return for influencing the contracting process.

The money laundering charges arose from transactions involving the proceeds of the bribery.

2. Was it 8 or was it 9 billion of hard cold cash that went missing?
And I want that money back in our treasury sooner or later too.

US robber barons want it ALL. Their minions will not be prosecuted, as long as they remain loyal.

7. But they never seem to be able to "catch" the guys at Haliburton or Blackwater doing that!
We know they steal hundreds of millons or billions, but no one ever gets in trouble for it.

But let ACORN give one bad interview ....



Thanks for posting it.
