by Deb Cupples | In June 2007, the Washington Post reported:
"'This is the largest bribery case that has come out of Iraq to date,'" said Stuart Bowen Jr., the special inspector general."
Mr. Cockerham reportedly took only about $10 million in bribes from contractors, and this is the "largest" Iraq-related bribery case? If so, then perhaps investigators are barking up the wrong trees (i.e., the very small ones).
Mr. Cockerham pleaded guilty in January 2009. Two days ago, Mr. Cockerham's sister, Carolyn Blake, pleaded guilty to participating in the money-laundering scheme. In short, she had received $3 million of the bribes, expecting to ake a 10% commission for helping her brother launder the bribes.
