Conrad Black indicted today on additional charges!
Edited on Thu Dec-15-05 04:06 PM by JulieRB
Okay, Patrick Fitzgerald fans, this is what he's been up to today...

CHICAGO Dec 15, 2005 — Former newspaper mogul Conrad Black was indicted by federal prosecutors Thursday on additional charges that include racketeering and obstruction of justice.

The new charges came two weeks after Black pleaded not guilty to fraud charges in connection with the alleged looting of more than $80 million from the Hollinger International Inc. newspaper empire he once controlled.

The charges were brought in an indictment returned Thursday by a federal grand jury in Chicago and announced by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.

4. Delightful news. What I'm REALLY hoping for is too see Richard Perle --
aka, "Prince of Darkness" and neocon cabal member -- get exposed and indicted (and CONVICTED!) as well.

There are alot of evil monsters to be brought down, and they are all connected. Our best hope is that as individual threads are pulled here and there (Libby, Black, Abramhoff, DeLay, Cunningham, etc.) the entire pernicous web will eventually be unravelled.
