The only thing I see there that is really questionable is the $12 million success fee. Success is almost assured.

The persistent, toxic chemicals we identified in this study are important, heavily used industrial substances, some of which are produced in quantities up to 500 million pounds a year. At the very least, Americans have a right to know if companies are releasing these pollutants into their communities. In fact, we should have begun tracking these pollutants years ago. Instead of curbing reports on the most worrisome pollutants to please industry, the Bush Administration should be expanding the tracking system to inform and protect the public.

The possibility of you being able to successfully launder 50 million pounds in Britain is fairly minimal unless you literally break it up into trenches of 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 or something like that.

The Postal Service is huge - employing more than a half million people - and its history is long and complicated.

The post office is able to measure at least $200 million in mail fraud per year. Anything they can do to prevent that only helps them.
