The Abramoff File: You gotta believe

Good news of the day comes from Raw Story.

New York - In an internal e-mail obtained by TIME, the director of the FBI’s Washington field office, Michael Mason, congratulated some 15 agents and 15 support staff under him on the case for “a huge accomplishment” in squeezing Jack Abramoff to make a deal after 18 months of investigation and negotiation, one that made “a huge contribution to ensuring the very integrity of our government.” But he added that “the case is far from over,”

...Another official involved with the probe told TIME that investigators are viewing Abramoff as “the middle guy”—suggesting there are bigger targets in their sights. The FBI has 13 field offices across the country working on the case, with two dozen agents assigned to it full time and roughly the same number working it part time. “We are going to chase down every lead,” Chris Swecker, head of the FBI’s Criminal Division, told TIME.

Haven't we all been wishing these liars and thieves would get their comeuppance? It's my Red Sox theory at work, honed from decades of being a Mets fan. The synergy of group belief can overcome impossible odds. If enough people believe the same thing, it will come true. All I can say in defense of this decidely non-scientific theory is, the Mets won the Series twice in my lifetime. I started pitching it to Red Sox fans about four years ago. They won after how many years?

So come on, everybody -- visualize mass indictments.
