[cali]

and fuck that diaper wearing asshole Vitter.

A Louisiana businessman whom a U.S. senator fought to have released from captivity overseas was sentenced Thursday to 10 months in federal prison for a kickback scheme in a military construction project in Afghanistan.

Elton McCabe III, 53, of Slidell, worked in Afghanistan for an American company that provided construction services to the U.S. military. He awarded a $3.2 million subcontract to a co-conspirator's company in 2009 in exchange for $60,000 in kickbacks, prosecutors said.

McCabe had faced a maximum sentence of five years in prison after pleading guilty in May to a conspiracy charge.

Before he was charged in the scheme, McCabe was detained in South Sudan on charges he kidnapped an Indian businessman. The charges were dropped after U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., campaigned for McCabe's release last year, threatening foreign aid to the country.

Justice Department prosecutor Daniel Butler had recommended a sentence that fell within the sentencing guidelines of 10 to 16 months in prison. Corrupting the government contracting process is a "serious matter that requires punishment, that requires deterrence of others," Butler said.

clearly our government doesn't think this is a serious matter at fucking all.
