You can search this story http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/10/11/america/trooper.php
all day long for some relevant keywords and you won't find them. Among the keywords you won't find in this story are:
"death" - as in the death threats Wooten was found to have made against Palin's family members
"beer" - that Wooten drank on the job in his patrol car
"drunk" - what Wooten was found to have been while on the job
and "taser" - what Wooten did to Palin's 11 year old nephew.
I hope the rest of the international press isn't this selective in its reporting.
Yes, Palin is corrupt in an incredibly small way - if you accept the report's conclusions (there are lots of reasons not to accept them). If Palin were really corrupt, Wooten would have had an unfortunate accident.
BTW, THE finding that Wooten threatened Palin's family members with death was an official finding. How is it that he was allowed to keep his job? Is that the 'old boy network' that Palin fought against?
