The annals of Washington lobbying contain many grubby chapters. But in
terms of sheer greed and exploitation of the unsuspecting, few can
match the tale of two Republicans accused of milking up to $66m (£36m)
from half a dozen Indian tribes, newly enriched by gambling revenues.
The story of Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon - both associates of
the House majority leader Tom DeLay - is still unfolding, as a federal
grand jury looks into some of their deals.
