Power corrupts?

If there is even an iota of truth in the allegations levelled against Mian Khurram Rasool and the meeting which took place in the PM House, where none other than the elected chief executive of the country was present, it reflects the intellectual and moral deprivation that dominates the so called elite of this country. This act befits a common crook or thug. Defrauding Rs 630 Million with the aid of not just an elected public office holder but also a bank owned by none other than the welfare trust of our khakis is despicable. Has power blinded our ruling elites, be they civil or military, and greed has overridden their sense of propriety or honour and shame. God Almighty help us if this is the state of affairs in this country, where criminals, thugs and crooks have access to the highest echelons of power.
