Sometimes articles speak for themselves.  Nothing wrong with that.

If they can show that she did what they are claiming she did, she should 
be removed from office, probably to a jail cell.  If the following is true, it is
very troubling even nothing worse is proven:

   In her annual Public Financial Disclosure Reports, Feinstein records a
   sizeable family income from large investments in Perini, which is based
   in Framingham, Mass., and in URS, headquartered in San Francisco. But
   she has not publicly acknowledged the conflict of interest between her
   job as a congressional appropriator and her husband's longtime control
   of Perini and URS--and that omission has called her ethical standards
   into question, say the experts.

I don't want Senators and Congressmen or their close relatives on the 
payrolls of military contractors or "reconstruction" companies.  We should 
all be very concerned.

Mike
