AEY was a front company set up by somebody else. 22 year olds don't get to play this game. The Albanian regime was taking a huge cut of the swag, and a decision was made in Washington to try and make the hideously corrupt Prime Minister and his hack Minister of Defense look as pure as the driven snow so they'd be more receptive to us on other matters. Diveroli is small potatoes. He's done. So's his old man. They tried to scam the U.S.G. and the Afghans with someone else's money. Who that Someone Else is is actually the story here, not Waxman's investigation about old PLA by way of Enver Hoxha arms. Happens all the damn time. Especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Ask yourself this: why would the USG stick their necks out for these hubcap thieves? Now the usual Democratic answer is "Bushhitler Corruption"! Of course, that's too easy. That's what you people always do. Henry Waxman has made a career going after people from the opposing party. That's how we know he's just a hack. But did anyone bother to ask where the seed money for the company came from? I bet that there's an interesting tale to tell. I have a better idea.
