WSJ spotlights the Bush Admin.'s "Criminals and Scoundrels"

From the WSJ Online

An ethics watchdog group identified 25 “criminals and scoundrels” from the ranks of the Bush administration, a rogue’s gallery ranging from the former chief of the Food and Drug Administration to officials of the Interior, Defense and Education departments and the Central Intelligence Agency.

The catalog of criminal and civil charges varies widely, from personal pecadillos to serious violations of public trust. Claude Allen, a White House official, admitted to shoplifting and resigned. Lester Crawford, the FDA chief, pleaded guilty to conflicts of interest in his stock portfolio and will be sentenced later this month. Robert Schofield, a top immigration official, sold residency cards to more than 100 illegal aliens, including his nanny. David Safavian, a former White House and government procurement officer, was sentenced for obstruction and false statements in the Abramoff scandal.
