Re: AP Visit: I\'m going to Costa Rica
[ QUOTE ]
I like this thinking. The only suggestion I have to change it is that instead of giving the money to charity, it funds a web page with the details of the this scandal that will be up for as long as the money lasts.
Alternatively, the fee could be used as seed money for a watchdog group of some kind, perhaps in conjunction with the webpage.

Talking about a watchdog group, what effect would they have that already hasn't been achieved here? (Besides not having the likes of Nat et. al. doing this for free and on their own time.) And by this I mean what power do we have now, or could gain from such a watchdog? It's clear there was cheating, it's even been admitted, but so what if you can't prosecute? Certainly pressure is being brought to bear on AP, otherwise they wouldn't be offering refunds, but they're not going to go further with this than they feel they have to, and that will likely fall short of what needs to be done.
