Estrada guilty of plunder! Could this be a turning point for our political culture, or is this the start of another round of revenge politics?
From the Inquirer yesterday, the 2001 mug shot that drove Estrada devotees to the streets. A nervous Gloria Arroyo may be watching all this for a hint of her future. After all, the main charge against former president Estrada was only plunder. Gloria's enemies will be itching to bring charges of plunder AND election cheating. Sweet revenge indeed. Or would that simply be just? Fr. Joe Dizon of PlunderWatch, which was an original complainant in the Estrada case, just said on TV that many now consider President Arroyo even worse than Estrada.
There are only two possible lessons from the Estrada conviction: (1) Don't plunder; or (2) Be smarter when you plunder.
