Wikileaks Breaks $3 Billion Corruption Story

Posted by kdawson on from the all-for-moi dept.

James Hardine writes Wikileaks, the website for whistleblowers, has broken one of the world's biggest corruption stories in the international press (Guardian, BBC, Forbes, Sydney Morning Herald). The site has leaked a secret report on looting by ex-president Moi of Kenya — and possibly altered the outcome of an impending national election. Moi has become a key player in political life in Kenya, and is now an essential pillar in President Kibaki's campaign for re-election in December 2007. From the Wikileaks page: 'The suppressed auditor's report reveals that currency worth billions of US dollars was looted from Kenya by President Moi and his associates. The money was laundered across the world and includes properties and shell companies in London, New York and South Africa and even a 10,000 hectare ranch in Australia.'"

  1. George W. Bush is a good man! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm fucking tired of people putting down one of our most ethical presidents since Andrew Jackson. George W. Bush is not a lazy president. He has done a lot. He has given the Iraqis something they didn't know before: freedom from an evil man. He has worked to spread Christianity around the world. He has lowered taxed and improved education with No Child Left Behind. George W. Bush has fought evil terrorists and the War on Drugs with success. He has helped make the Judicial branch more ethical by putting in judges that will support life (no playing God with stem cells), keep media free from obscenity, and oppose evil gay marriage. George W. Bush should have another term so we can win the War on Terrorism like we won the war in Iraq. Hillary Clinton is evil.

    Cripes, $3 Billion is nothing compared to the outright looting of the fed that's going on right now in the United States.
