So there you have it. A rich Washington lobbyist apparently schemed to use money from Indian tribes to buy paramilitary equipment from Russian oil executives and send it to Israeli settlers in the West Bank. What could be simpler?

Actually, this sounds just like the sort of thing you'd hear from a schizophrenic homeless man ranting outside the White House. But in reality, it appears to be the story of Jack Abramoff.

2. Basically, it's what they did in IranContra. Only then, it was Ollie North

and his crew who were shuffling the dollars.

Imagine what was in the papers that Ollie and Fawn were shredding for months.
