A Hazy Roadmap Of Obama's Rezko/Auchi/Iraqi Scandalworks

Make no mistake - this is a long and dark and meandering path, which may lead to nothing but dead ends.  But judging by a few of the early bread crumbs Captain Ed has sprinkled out, it might be a shadowy journey worth going on.

It's got all the prescribed components of your more compelling modern political intrigue - fishy land deals, outright fraud, vast wealth, middle eastern power brokers, assassination, revenge, two people named Hussein...

And if it turns out that Obama's involvement with and connections to this rich tapestry of malfeasance is limited to poor judgment, then so much the better.  It will better equip him with some of that valuable "vetted[ness]" Hillary likes to assert.

We can rest assured the news media can't be bothered to embark on this one (at least not the American news media).  Not only does their consensus candidate have an election to win, but the complexity and convolution of the situation might be enough to inspire nostalgia for Whitewater's relative simplicity.

The more intrepid are well-advised to use Ed's post as a launch point (and further to consider the corporate archetype of Iraq-connected residential real estate fraud).
