Corruption has also tainted these Games, no matter how much Mitt Romney, Senator Orrin Hatch and the rest of the Salt Lake Olympic Commitee (SLOC) try to bury the story. Much of the stain on the Olympic Games in the past five years has come from the scandal over 1995’s selection of Salt Lake City as the host city...

Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), recently sent Ashcroft a letter asking him to appear before the committee to explain why the regulations were imposed without even an attempt to secure Congressional approval...
