Bribery, Corruption, Venal Contractors, Crooked Cops-- Just Another Day at the DoD.

The surprise is that this one doesn't involve the Air Force, it's all on the Navy.

The Navy is being rocked by a bribery scandal that federal investigators say has reached high into the officer corps and exposed a massive overbilling scheme run by an Asian defense contractor in exchange for prostitutes and other kickbacks.

Among those arrested on corruption charges are a senior agent for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and a Navy commander who escaped Cambodia’s “killing fields” as a child only to make a triumphant return to the country decades later as the skipper of a U.S. destroyer. The investigation has also ensnared a Navy captain who was relieved of his ship’s command this month in Japan.

The WaPo article is longer than the one being printed in other papers. They are looking at a lot more people for this. Apparently Glenn Defense Marine, the contractor which was bribing people, has apparently been at this for quite some time. They turned an NCIS agent in 2008, who was the boss agent in Quantico (the real-life "Jethro Gibbs"), as well as one of five "agents of the year" for 2010, until he recently was arrested.

Somebody go find the popcorn, this one might get even better.
