The article points out that the military didn't even ask for "document conversion" especially because they already had it. But by bribing congress, the military got it anyway. But at least we can keep our heads from exploding under the number of GOP scandals we have to keep up with by realizing that this one, like most of them, intersects with Abramoff-Delay, the ground zero of GOP crime (if you don't count the CIA):
"The Alexander lobbyists' sales pitch was, 'Either you hire me or DeLay is going to screw you,' " an anonymous source identified as a top Republican lobbyist told the Congressional Quarterly weekly last month. "It was not really a soft sell."
Besides donating money to DeLay's campaign, Wilkes also has given money to a political action committee that DeLay helped organize: Texans for a Republican Majority. The group is under investigation for allegedly breaking Texas law to divert corporate contributions into its drive to redraw the state's election districts.
