Six people were arrested Friday for allegedly taking part in a contract-fixing scheme at the U.S. Army Medical Command at Fort Sam Houston in Texas. The defendants were indicted on charges they drew up contracts totaling $18 million for companies with which they were associated or even owned outright. Six of the men charged were current or former U.S. Army employees, the San Antonio Express-News reported. All were charged with bribery related offenses. Federal prosecutors alleged that the six defendants conspired to run the contracts at a San Antonio consulting firm owned by one of them. The contracts involved equipment and services provided to about 20 Army hospitals. (c) UPI - This was a real tiny article buried somewhere in the Post. How about we make this information a little bigger and put it on the front page of every newspaper? How about properly informing the American people about all the corruption going on during perpetual war, about all the men getting rich during perpetual war - and about the millions of Iraqi people dying horrible deaths to enable those men to get rich off their bloodied bodies? - WPA
