G-Man: Corruption destroying America's soul

By Donald Sensing

A 27-year FBI agent specializing in investigating graft and corruption by public officials says that it's getting worse in America.

Special agent John Gillies, who has led major anti-corruption drives during his 27-year career with the bureau, focused his words primarily on crooked financiers and unscrupulous officials. ...

Gillies described corruption as the number one crime in the US and disclosed that public corruption investigations had jumped by 20% over the last five years and 25% in the last year.
And "transgressions" by Tiger Woods don't help matters, says Gillies.
