Not condoning it. BUt this is also just Big Brother run amok at the hands of some senator that has some hidden agenda somewhere.

The other day he recommended that MLB outsource drug testing? To me that smells of some drug testing company that probably is a big contributing lobby to this Senator Mitchell guy.
Dude is a former senator, so he isn't running for reelection.

I find it a bit surprising that a law enforcement officer like yourself is complaining about criminals ratting out their partners since that is a major source of information police get to go after other people.

Yes, it is an incomplete report based on the fact that if you haven't gotten caught, most people won't come clean. Bonds, the Yankees, Grimsley, and others were unlucky since there operations got busted. The Yankees strength trainer who got dropped the dime on the players was facing 25 years in a Fed prison. Almost everyone other than the most hardened criminal will spill the beans to reduce a sentence like that. Big brother run amok, this crap happens daily from the group of kids busted for stealing bikes all the way up to Enron. You just have sour grapes cause it was the precious Yankees.
