Breaking: Senator Ted Stevens was indicted today on seven felony counts of ethic violations after failing to report gifts from VECO Corp., an oil pipeline and oil field services company. You may also know VECO through the National Science Foundation as the official “arctic logistics provider,” in another contract Stevens coordinated.

Stevens is one of the League of Conservation Voters’ Dirty Dozen, and his corruption is well-established. Do you think he is as “disappointed and disturbed” about this court decision as he was about the decision to list polar bears as a threatened species? Here’s hoping this decision means Alaska and its wildlife will be better represented in the future.
