I don't think it's a particularly big stretch to say that corruption played a pretty big role regarding the damage in the Chinese earthquake.  The corruption is horrifically rampant, and though China took the step of making a National Bureau of Corruption Prevention, it hasn't really stopped it all that much.  But China isn't afraid to use executions as a deterrent.  After the Chinese Toy Scandal, they killed their head of the FDA With Chinese Characteristics for taking $850k (US$) in bribes (My reaction was twofold.  'Why did it take so long?' and 'That little?').  So I was readily anticiapting the annoucement of some executions.  Or not.

China is learning more from the US every day.  Next week they'll annouce a special Task Force to decide whether or not to submit a recommendation to form a committee to start a Special Investigation.  Come on China, don't tell me the Olympics made you guys a bunch of pussies.
