The only part that bothers me is the delay, "Eight years after...". The Chinese are much more impatient for justice. I think it has something to do with deterring future thuggish behavior on the part of proteges. Now I'll smile for a while, knowing we already have our future DeLay in waiting. Newt,Mitch,Mario,Rand,Eric?
I think it's been six years since the indictments, actually. The delay (ahem) is a blessing of sorts in this case, since the election of a new prosecutor tempered DeLay's persecution argument.
Newt next, in my perfect world.
