She is such an asshole, partisan Democrat. She skewers people like Ralph Nader, but only has praise for corporate shills like Gore, Kerry, etc. So ridiculous.

If you read the judgment you can see that Donegal submitted the email Palast says he discovered to the British court themselves... they did not try to hide it... and it does not talk about having paid anyone... it talks about a proposal to donate a portion of the local currency debt Donegal would receive in a debt for local currency swap to the Presidential Housing Initiative, a low cost housing project supported by the Chiluba regime. The judge states that from the evidence it is clear that the proposal was made openly to the Government and well publicized and that there was no bribery of any kind. The Government in any event rejected the proposal and did not allow the swap... that is why they went to court... Palast keeps harping on about there being bribes, but the court specifically considered this question and rejected it. You can find the judgment on the BBC's own website... check it out...
