[edit] External links from article

I'm moving most of the external links from the article to here for now until they can be evaluated for relevance & applicability to the article. Per WP:NOT#LINK, "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links..." and this collection of links was beginning to look like someone's "Mere collection of external links..." in violation of that policy. We're not really here to include every news article possibly about the scandal; but it seems useful to keep the list for now because many of these might be relevant sources for improving the article. --Yksin 22:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] blanking

I have block the page for 36 hours to stop the edit war that has invovled the repeated blanking of the page. Though most of the material is factual, I removed some possibly doubtful personal relationship issues due to BLP concerns. Please do not restore it without discussion. DGG 09:24, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
