It is never good when there is corruption in the military industrial complex, but in this case, certain missile defense official criminals were convicted and sentenced. Unfortunately in most cases, the criminals get away free!

A federal judge Wednesday sentenced a former Huntsville missile defense official to five years in prison for taking more than $1 million in bribes from contractors.

Michael Cantrell, 54, admitted taking $1.6 million in bribes from contractors over a six-year period ending in 2007. Cantrell served as director for the Joint Center for Technology Integration at the Army Space and Missile Defense Command.
