Oops. Put out the fire on one crisis, and a new pops up.

Hollinger International is examining investments that were made by Richard Perle, a director on the publisher’s board and prominent defense advisor, on behalf of the company. [...]

Messy. Messy. Messy. But not to worry, they'll be cleared. What else would you expect--justice? That's so yesterday. Read the article, Hollinger examines Perle investments - Newspaper publisher probes corporate-governance practices by Stephanie Kirchgaessner.
