What a criminal and stupid enterprise it is, even for the government. And then Marion Jones is sentenced to eight months in a cage, two years of humiliation, and many hours of community slavery. And not even for the non-crime of using steroids, but for “lying” to the feds who sought to destroy here. None of us should ever forget that the feds claim the right to lie to you, to trick you, but you must tell them exactly what they want to hear. So the only response is: I want a lawyer.
