#2 BEIJING (Reuters) - One of China's top brass has been charged with accepting millions of dollars in bribes from contractors after one of his mistresses blew the whistle, independent sources with ties to the military said on Wednesday.

If found guilty, Vice Admiral Wang Shouye, 63, one of five navy deputy commanders and a member of China's parliament, would be the most senior People's Liberation Army (PLA) officer ever convicted of a crime.

"Wang Shouye kept several mistresses. One of them reported him to the authorities" after he refused to give in to her demands for money, a source with knowledge of the case told Reuters, requesting anonymity

Sounds like you've got some energy left. Get your Wanger over here Admiral, we need engineers and folks who can relate to contractors.

#3 I b'lieve the admiral was the Chinese navy's chief civil engineer, Besoeker. When civil engineers take bribes from contractors, bridges collapse and dams don't hold -- not what we want here, especially when we're on the busy side of the thirty-year storm cycle.
