	Spiegel scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spiegel scandal of 1962 (German: Spiegel-Affäre) was one of the major political scandals in Germany in the era following World War II.
		Essentially, the scandal boiled down to a conflict between Franz Josef Strauß, then Federal Minister of Defense, and Rudolf Augstein, owner and editor-in-chief of Der Spiegel magazine, Germany's leading weekly political magazine.
		The scandal temporarily halted Strauß's political career and was remembered by many when Strauß ran for Bundeskanzler in 1980, clearly losing against his SPD opponent (and incumbent) Helmut Schmidt.

		Following Spiegel's shocking revelation that he and his family had been under guard since a rumor surfaced Tuesday that Tony Erpenbeck had put a contract out on his life, emotions ran high throughout the proceeding, with all three defendants breaking down in tears as they pleaded for mercy and apologized for their crimes.
		Spiegel agreed to recommend Erpenbeck be placed in a medical wing of the federal prison in Lexington.
		Next to appear before Spiegel was Marksberry, the former closing agent who actively participated in the fraud scheme by stealing checks from homebuyers that were supposed to be forwarded to the banks that loaned Erpenbeck Co. money to build homes.

	CNN.com - 'Der Spiegel' founder dies at 79 - Nov. 7, 2002
		The founder and publisher of Der Spiegel magazine, Germany's most influential weekly for more than 50 years, has died of pneumonia in Hamburg at the age of 79.
		He founded Der Spiegel in 1947 converting a newspaper publication, This Week, licensed by British forces in his hometown, into a hard-hitting news magazine read by the power-elite.
		It exposed a scandal that became known as the Flick affair, in which leading politicians were accused of taking cash donations in return for granting favours to major industrialist Friedrich Flick, according to Reuters.

	Challies Dot Com: The Benefits of Providence
		Spiegel teaches a classical, Augustinian understanding of providence, affirming that God has exhaustive knowledge of the future and that he knows, controls and directs all that comes to pass.
		Beyond Spiegel's seemingly obligatory mention of Mother Teresa, I had a few concerns about his understanding of the value and importance of human suffering, and particularly in his teaching on the beatific vision, wherein human suffering becomes valuable because of the direct knowledge of God it imparts to us.
		If a proper understanding of divine providence is as important as Spiegel claims, and I believe he is right to suggest that it provides benefits to almost every area of life, it is a topic that ought to be near and dear to the heart of every Christian.

		President Estrada is right in considering the filing of a libel suit against Der Spiegel for its outlandish story about him and Secretary Robert Aventajado's alleged profit-taking from the ranson payments made to Abu Sayyaf bandits who had kidnapped several Europeans last April from a Malaysian resort.
		Based on a translation of the article, Der Spiegel wrote that German authorities themselves admitted that it was able to directly negotiate with the Abu Sayyaf bandits.
		Should Der Spiegel fail to substantiate its allegations, then it should issue its profuse apologies to the President and Aventajado-and to the Filipino people as well for besmirching the country's reputation before the international community.

		One of the major political scandals in Germany in the area after the World War II was The Spiegel scandal of 1962 (in German, Spiegel-Affäre).
		The scandal had constitutional implications for the UK, as the Queen is the head of state of a constitutional monarchy and is theoretically the embodiment of the state in all legal proceedings, and any involvement of a reigning monarch in a law court would be unprecedented.
		The scandal involved the misuse and misdirection of funds that were intended to go to government advertising in Quebec over the preceding decade.

		Duetsche Welle - Newsmagazine Der Spiegel, famed throughout decades for rooting out corruption and the vagaries of errant politicians, admitted Saturday some staff had been working for the government intelligence service.
		Quoting from Der Spiegel's own article, it said the BND had kept several journalists under surveillance for some years in order to find out the source of leaks from the BND to the press.
		The scandal comes at a bad time for the BND which is already involved in an official investigation into allegations German spies in Baghdad helped in the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

	The scandal they can’t hide
		THE BUSH administration claims that the torture carried out in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison was the work of a "few bad apples." But a pair of reports released last week--one by an outside panel, and one by Army generals--shows that the scandal goes much deeper.
		Former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, who led the outside panel, told reporters that approximately 300 cases of abuse are being investigated--at U.S. detention facilities in Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in addition to Abu Ghraib.
		The Bush administration has blamed the torture scandal all along on a handful of "immoral" soldiers.

		The Spiegel scandal of 1962 (in German, Spiegel-Affäre) was one of the major political scandals in Germany in the era after the second world war.
		The two had clashed already a year earlier, when, in 1961, Spiegel raised accusations of bribery in favor of the FIBAG construction company, who had received a contract for building military facilities.
		However, it is mostly remembered for altering the political culture of post-war Germany and – with the first mass demonstrations and public protests – being a turning point from the old Obrigkeitsstaat to a modern democracy.

		Vollmer reportedly connects the eruption of a pedophile scandal within the U.S. Catholic Church to retaliation against the anti-war stance of the Vatican under Pope John Paul II.
		She does not question that there is a scandal (though its significance has been overplayed); Vollmer questions, rather, the timing of the scandal's surfacing.
