Where do you find corruption?

Many in the western democratic countries imagine corruption only happens in dictatorship countries. We believe the stories readily when our media reports how countries like Russian, China, India, Iraq, Iran, Burma and many others will do business only when the bureaucrats are bribed.

When Envron failed, questions raised, but just that. When the Tsunami put American economy into limbo, questions raised against the finance monitoring agencies. Inquiries are held in the congress yet the American public is still in the dark of how the economy collapsed.

Now that BP is the chief polluter in the world, congress is holding more inquires, the public only learns the monitoring agency is again in sleep mode.

One asks how these monitoring agencies fail to do their job? Is there anything to do with the financial and oil and gas lobbying effort? Is there anything to do with the congress intervention? How much is corruption involved?

How much public service is for sale?

Corruption is found everywhere in the world, democratic countries are no exception. We don't need to look far, just look at the Airbus scandal, the UK MP expense claims scandal, you have it.
