*For obstructing the Senate investigation into Abramoff and for tax evasion, Italia Federici, a political aide to then Secretary of the Interior, Gail Norton, received a two month sentence in a halfway house.

*Fedrici's boyfriend, Steven Griles, who was the number two official at the Interior Department, also received 10 months in jail for his part in the Abramoff scandal.

hi @, thanx for this very informative clip. Sorry i removed your comments from the "unspeakable numbers" clip. The questions you raised about remorse by some rapists are really worth more consideration...The film "my neighbour my killer", by Anne Aghion, at the human rights watch film festival raised similar questions. The perpetrators of the genocide are being released (to await trial by their fellows) back to the villages where they committed mass murder of children, rape other atrocities. It is a film worth seeing. "When peace comes, how do you make it right again? An epic emotional journey in search of co-existence in Rwanda" www.gacacafilms.com xchara

Hi Chara- I didn't know you had removed my comments, but if you felt you needed to for whatever reason, that's cool. I don't understand how some people can do such a thing as rape, which in effect, robs someone of an irreplaceable thing....part of his/her being. I wanted to say soul, but that's not quite right. Then, whenever they face a judge, they are so sorry, enter jail for a few yrs and claim they are a changed man. Well, rape sentences just aren't long enough to actually change someone. I'll check out the link as soon as I can. Thank you.
