Cammarano,Elwell,NJ Mayors Corruption
On The Waterfront: Hoboken, Secaucus Mayors Arrested Along with Brooklyn Rabbis
Cammarano was allegedly caught by the FBI on tape in June telling a government cooperating witness, Solomon Dwek, "I stopped being a lawyer last month, um, hopefully for good." The FBI allegedly recorded a conversation that the Hoboken Mayor had with Dwek in a Hoboken diner where Cammarano is said to have conspired to extort $5,000 from Dwek, and bragged before his election that "[r]ight now, the Italians, the Hispanics, the seniors are locked down. Nothing can change that now. . . . I could be, uh, indicted, and I'm still gonna win 85 to 95 percent of those populations."
You can read these and other fascinating allegations of political corruption in the federal charges here:
The list of more than forty defendants accused in the charges spans a wide variety of individuals in New Jersey and New York. They range from New Jersey local and state politicians and officials, to a number of Rabbis in Brooklyn.
You can read the names of other accused individuals here:
According to the Asbury Park Press, the government's reputed cooperating witness is believed to be Solomon Dwek (inset, left), who was arrested and charged with federal bank fraud in May 2006 after passing a bad check of more than $25 million at a PNC Bank branch in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
He is said to have posed as a real estate developer for the FBI and allegedly tried to bribe from New Jersey officials to see if they would be willing to engage in criminal wrongdoing while in office.
You can read Dwek's original 2006 bank fraud criminal charges here:

Rule of Law Revlution by Marisa McQuilken
AFGHANISTAN: A STRUGGLE FOR JUSTICE 
By Marisa McQuilken
Last year, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice enthusiastically launched the Public-Private Partnership for Justice Reform in Afghanistan, a partnership with private law firms designed to put American lawyers in contact with their Afghan counterparts for rule-of-law training. Private firms have contributed $1.5 million in cash and services to the effort, but major obstacles lie on the road to success: The Afghan people are resisting Western-style rule of law reforms, Americans already on the ground in the country are protective of their turf, and the Partnership is still learning to grapple with the country's unique legal culture.

The Bodies Politic: On the Mend www.twincities.com
More than 30 years after George Latimer followed Larry Cohen into the mayor's office in St. Paul, he's still on Cohen's trail.
These days, though, its at the Shalom Home nursing facility on Midway Parkway.
Latimer had a hip replaced last week and is sporting a pair of nifty blue shorts and dashing white support hose.
Cohen is recovering from a fall that resulted in a pretty serious head injury during the winter, although it didn't catch up to him until a Carribean vacation.
Both were in fairly fine fettle when we found them.
"I have a doctor's certification that my brain is in great shape," Cohen said, fingering a surgical scar on his scalp for effect. "You can't say that."
Cohen has lost some weight and we found him walking with a cane, but he went home briefly Wednesday to scope out his Highwood home with an eye toward going home soon.
Latimer, too, needs a little help getting around for the time being, and is using a walker for now. He, too, said he's hoping to go home in the next few days.
Latimer said the Shalom Home has plenty of authority on hand without him, anyway: Cohen is on the home's governing board. "He's the mayor around here," Latimer said.
