ah see you didn't spell that out about the speaking fees. If true -- I always have to tack that caveat on because of your sources -- but if true, ya, that sounds pretty corrupt.
And don't get me wrong, I think corruption is there. But fraud is a very specific word. More precise and more measured statements improve the signal to noise ratio. But we're off in a corner quibbling about definitions. These guys are not the problem. They are a symptom of the problem. They are *a* problem but only a manifestation of the current inequities.
