OKAY !
so theyve been 'talking' about it for days now,
WELL it's finally done, they have officially filed the charges,
16 counts.
not only for bribery, but for obstruction of justice !
AND it seems some one else is also feeling a little guilty,
maybe this is the scape goat caught and offered up instead of the slippery piggy?

Stanley's case is the first in what federal officials believe will be a string of indictments in coming months against U.S. corporate executives who have participated in bribing foreign officials in recent years.
By agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors, Stanley, who ran KBR (KBR, news, msgs) when it was a subsidiary to Halliburton, promises to become a hammer for federal investigators seeking to crack open additional cases under a 30-year-old statute designed to halt overseas corporate corruption. About 80 cases involving major corporations accused of overseas bribery were under investigation as of last year, a high-level Justice Department official said.
Larry Veselka, Stanley's lawyer, said his client will cooperate fully in any investigation. A judge will determine Stanley's final sentence depending on his compliance with the plea agreement.
"He's going to cooperate with wherever they want to go and whatever they want him to do,'' Veselka said Thursday.
I believe theyre calling this an unfolding nightmare !

You old enough to remember William Casey?
He was useful, for his time and for awhile,
and then he just got sick and died, all of a sudden like !
Hours before Casey was scheduled to testify before Congress related to his knowledge of Iran-Contra, he was reported to have been rendered incapable of speech, and was later hospitalized.
Casey died of brain cancer in 1987
