A U.S. border inspector was charged Friday with taking more than $50,000 to wave drug-laden vehicles from Mexico through his lane.
Oscar Osbaldo Ortiz Martinez, a Customs and Border Protection officer since 2008, allegedly took $22,000 in June for allowing a Jeep Cherokee that he believed was carrying cocaine to pass through his booth at the border crossing in downtown Calexico, about 120 miles east of San Diego.
Ortiz, 30, took $30,000 for waving through a Ford Lobo he believed to be packed with drugs on Monday, according to the complaint. He was arrested Thursday after allegedly accepting the money from an informant in a Lucky's supermarket parking lot in neighboring El Centro.
Ortiz, of El Centro, was charged with bribery, conspiracy and attempting to import cocaine and methamphetamine. If convicted of any of those charges, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Victor Manuel Silva, 30, was charged with the same crimes for allegedly taking bribes to facilitate the crossings.
According to the complaint, Silva, also of El Centro, introduced the informant to Ortiz at an El Centro parking lot in October 2009.

British soldiers told to bride taliban not to fight
Throwing money at religious fanatics won't solve any problems. If the British army or any Western army truly understands what kind of ideology they're fighting then they'll realize that they can't pay off the taliban with money or promise of a government position.
The only way, in my opinion, to win the counter insurgency is to kill as many taliban/al Qaida terrorists as possible. But in order to do that we'd need to kick the lawyers and politicians out of the military and give our soldiers a chance to do what they were trained for.
From Times Online
British forces should buy off potential Taleban recruits with “bags of gold”, according to a new army field manual published yesterday.
Army commanders should also talk to insurgent leaders with “blood on their hands” in order to hasten the end of the conflict in Afghanistan.[...]
Major-General Paul Newton said: “The best weapons to counter insurgents don’t shoot. In other words, use bags of gold in the short term to change the security dynamics. But you don’t just chuck gold at them, this has to be done wisely.”

Ex-lawmaker gets 13 years in prison for bribery
For a Change , some Justice due , to one of the worst kind of criminals in the U.S. , A Crooked ass Dimocrat representative !
This should be a Huge slap in the Face to the Dimocrats who ran their mouths about his Innocence !
But I'm sure we will hear the Boo hooing all over again !
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Democratic U.S. Representative William Jefferson, who hid $90,000 in cash in his freezer, was sentenced on Friday to 13 years in prison for bribery, racketeering and money laundering.
Jefferson, who lost re-election last year in Louisiana, was accused in 2007 of soliciting millions of dollars in bribes from companies while using his office to broker business deals in Africa. He was convicted in August on 11 of 16 counts.
The case became particularly well-known because FBI agents said they found $90,000 in cash wrapped in foil and hidden inside various frozen food containers in his freezer.
Prosecutors recommended to the judge that Jefferson, 62, be sentenced to at least 27 years in prison. Defense lawyers asked for leniency, citing Jefferson's long public service, and said he should get less than 10 years.
"How about Life in Prison ? Willams deserves nothing less ! No Leniency , His service was used to Help try to sell America out from under the People ! "
A Justice Department spokesman said Jefferson received a 13-year prison sentence, followed by three years of probation. He was also ordered to forfeit $470,000.
"Mr. Jefferson is well-known for the $90,000 found in his freezer. It is our hope that he will now be well-known for the tough sentence handed down today, showing that no one --
including our elected officials -- are above the law," Neil
MacBride, the U.S. attorney in Virginia, said in a statement.
During his trial in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, prosecutors said Jefferson had sought hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes relating to business ventures, mainly in Africa.
They included telecommunications deals in Nigeria and Ghana, oil concessions in Equatorial Guinea, satellite transmission contracts in Botswana, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of Congo, and a Nigerian sugar plant.
