From AL.com:

A former senior civilian manager with the U.S. Army Space & Missile Defense Command pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Birmingham Monday to conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery and tax evasion charges stemming from an investigation of contract fraud.

Mike Cantrell had been arrested in November 2007. He is the former director of the Joint Center for Technology Integration and its successor, the Integrated Capabilities Management Directorate, from 2000 until April 2007.

…

At the plea hearing Monday, Cantrell admitted receiving about $1.6 million in bribes over a six-year period in exchange for giving preferential treatment to certain contractors, according to Martin’s office.

So far, the government has not named any contractors that might be implicated in the investigation.

That is when the fun will begin, ladies and gentlemen.
