Le syst\u00e8me ne pardonne rien \u00e0 ceux de ses plus fid\u00e8les serviteurs qui exag\u00e8rent et se font prendre la main dans le sac, poussant un peu trop loin l’interpr\u00e9tation frauduleuse des r\u00e8gles g\u00e9n\u00e9rales.

Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 r\u00e9publicain Randy Duke<\/em> Cunningham<\/a> a \u00e9t\u00e9 condamn\u00e9 le 3 mars \u00e0 8 ans et demi de prison dans un p\u00e9nitencier f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, la plus longue peine jamais inflig\u00e9e \u00e0 un parlementaire pour corruption. Certains jugent que Cunningham (64 ans), malade (cancer de la prostate), d\u00e9pressif et suicidaire, priv\u00e9 de tous ses biens par le jugement et charg\u00e9 d’une amende consid\u00e9rable (plus de $2 millions), ne sortira pas vivant de prison.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCunningham n’est pas une exception de la r\u00e8gle mais un exemple un peu extr\u00eame de la d\u00e9rive acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e du syst\u00e8me am\u00e9ricaniste. Corrompu jusqu’\u00e0 l’os, au point d’afficher sa corruption et d’en faire un passe-droit public, cet homme venait d’un service o\u00f9 l’on a l’habitude de parler d’h\u00e9ro\u00efsme et de d\u00e9sint\u00e9ressement. Les r\u00e8gles de corruption qu’il avait institu\u00e9es \u00e9taient sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, comme le d\u00e9taille un article du Los Angeles Times (via Truthout)<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Prosecutors said he bullied and hectored Pentagon bureaucrats to approve contracts for Wade and contractor Brent Wilkes, including threatening to get one bureaucrat fired and ignoring a warning from one official that $700,000 in bills from Wilkes’ firm seemed fraudulent. On congressional stationery, Cunningham kept what prosecutors called a bribe menu, indicating how much he demanded in exchange for certain amounts of contracts. Far from being seduced by a lobbyist or corrupted by his own need for campaign contributions, Cunningham was portrayed as the mastermind of the bribery scheme, demanding payments and tributes in exchange for his inside influence.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLes dimensions extraordinaires du cas Cunningham int\u00e9ressent m\u00eame les psychiatres (\u00ab In the Navy, he was given medals for ignoring danger signs and performing perilous and death-defying acts, Beverly Hills psychiatrist Dr. Saul Faerstein concluded after a five-hour interview with Cunningham in preparation for the sentencing recommendation. In Congress, he was expected to behave very differently, but the psyche cannot make such a U-turn easily.<\/em> \u00bb). Les effets peuvent \u00e9galement \u00eatre importants, \u00e0 la suite de r\u00e9v\u00e9lations que Cunningham a faites.
