A former Philippine National Police officer was sentenced yesterday to six years and four months in prison for his role in a plot in which he attained secret U.S. documents in an effort to undermine the Philippine government.

Federal prosecutors sought the maximum 10-year term for Michael Ray Aquino. They maintained that the "serious disruption" he caused to the American government outweighed any benefit he should receive for pleading guilty.

Recipients of the documents included former President Joseph Estrada; Sen. Panfilo Lacson, the leader of the Arroyo opposition party; and former House Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella, according to court documents.

Estrada and Lacson have acknowledged receiving information from Aquino or Aragoncillo, but deny any wrongdoing.

And this guy rants incessantly about Pollard. As a certain poodle fucking hillbilly might say, "The lady doth protest too much".
