TopDog,
I am on Allergy medication, but I read your intro and the NYT's article twice and can't ferret out the link.

Will you be so kind as to clarify link for those suffering "medicine head".

I don't get the connection AJ.

The connection is Scarpa jr's credibility. Destroying his credibility means

1. His father and the corrupt FBI agent didn't happen.
2. Ramsey Yousef confessions didn't really happen.

Judge Reena Raggi dismissed his year of spying against World Trade Center bombing mastermind Ramzi Yousef while they were prison mates as insignificant at best and more likely "part of a scam."

At his trial, Scarpa testified that he alerted the FBI of plots to kill a judge and a prosecutor. He also described how he used a tiny two-inch spy camera to photograph bomb formulas that Yousef slipped through the cracks in the wall of their cells.

Scarpa Jr., who is serving Life for drug trafficking and other crimes, claimed that his father and his FBI handler planted guns at the home of Orena as part of the frame-up. Judge Weinstein ruled that the Court found Scarpa Jr. to be "not credible." The retired FBI agent in question, Lyndley De Vecchio, has denied any wrongdoing and his attorney has denounced Scarpa's claims as "scandalous and ridiculous."
