SHOT SHOW SHOCKER? ? ?

[Overload]

Bribery is the norm elsewhere, while the US has (openly) banned it.  Therefore, there has developed a double standard, and a catch 22 for US businesses trying to operate in the rest of the world.  Just another example of the US trying to take the high road instead of dealing with reality.
  I will say I love the fact we (basically) don't have bribery IN the US, other than the legalized versions (unions, permits, etc).

Bribery = Criminal
Kickback = Bad
Rebate = Good
Finder's Fee/Commission = OK

What is the difference between these four words?

The penalty attached to them!

As the details leak out, this is sounding more and more like entrapment, with the Feds approaching these guys. The only justification legally (and morally) is if they could show these guys had a "prior disposition" to commit the crime in question. If they had a reasonable suspicion backed with evidence that this was SOP the indictments will stand. If they just got out the phone book to see who would bite, they are screwed.
