Politicians are like dirty diapers -- and for the same reasons.

And should be changed often. :-)

The FBI arrested two Pennsylvania Senate staff members May 31 and charged them with obstruction of justice because they 
wiped e-mail messages and other data from the computers and personal digital assistants of a state senator under 
investigation for corruption.

Leonard Luchko and Mark Eister were employees of Senate Democratic Computer Services (SDCS), a Pennsylvania State 
Senate organization that provides computer assistance to Democratic members of the Senate.

The FBI complaint and affidavit state that when Luchko and Eister learned the senator to whom they were assigned was 
the subject of a federal investigation, they intentionally destroyed all e-mail messages concerning the senator and 
another organization so that investigators could not recover them.
