Oh, Wow. Color Me Surprised

I am shocked, shocked, that arms dealers are willing to pay bribes to the officials of foreign governments in order to sell stuff.

Apparently, the practice came as a real surprise to the FBI and the Justice Department, which, only in the last year, decided to try to investigate the business.

(Gee willikers. I wonder what happened a year ago that would have made the Justice Department more receptive to investigating such things. I'm drawing a blank . Oh, well, it'll come to me, eventually.)
