I saw that the ABSCAM article is missing a large part of it. I wrote it on the spot, so there is no backup copy to work from. I’ll work on correcting it.

For now, here’s the link to ABSCAM letters. Notice how there are supporters of the defendants, supporters of the investigating agents, calls for deeper investigation, and calls for agents to work on “something more important”. There are even a few people that were torn between the truth of the investigation and the damage it caused to people’s faith in government.

In my quest for good analogies to describe what has happened in my life, these series of letters provided another opportunity to make comparisons. Some defend the major leaders, some cheer on Henry and others, and there are calls for more investigations (just look at the IRS threads and Jack Pelham’s efforts). Some people want to ‘move on’ and others still don’t know exactly what to think, they just want to trust in leaders again at some point.

I’ll post the rest soon.
