I appreciate your response Tom.  Suffice it to say that it is no secret 
that I am very much anti-mason; and that I think the organization (not
neccessarily all the rank and file) is evil.  However, I'll let that 
alone and stick to the report I read about and look for further 
comments about corruption in police ranks by Masons as it may exist in
the United States.  Does this secret society in fact influence police
officers and departments?
