Sorry, I didn't read that bit. Post the WaPo link next time, please.

I'm not saying I agree with it.

Article read. It's just one guy's allegation. It may well be true, but the guy is a convicted insider trader.

Have you ever questioned yourself as to why we ask you for the source link?  Have you ever considered that some of us choose not to click on DKos links because of the language and pictures which are posted on that site (and not because we merely find them offensive but because they get picked up by certain server screening programs)?

Do tell, MODU.

I was the first to point the insider trading bit. Considering he was convicted by a jury, that means (unless I've got the US legal system highly wrong) that he denied the charges, pled not guilty and, ergo, lied to both police and the court.

With all due respect, jfern, that's an allegation. This guy has been convicted by a jury.

In both our countries, it's "innocent until proven guilty". Of course, I don't know that the guy was lying, but considering his conviction, I'm not inclined to believe him.

I shouldn't have outright implied he was a liar and for that I apologise. I should have made myself clearer and said I wasn't inclined to believe him. Sorry.
