That article seems to say two things.

1) We have laws against bribery domestically, but we don't get many convictions.

--Is it possible that maybe bribery isn't that big a problem here? I've been hit up for a bribe by a corrupt official on more than one continent, but never here in Canada. If there is no bribery, that's better than having lots of convictions.

2) We're not spending enough money policing bribery in other countries.

--I would be pretty offended if the gov't of Angola showed up here asking to look in my books to see whether someone I did business with was bribing me. Why are we different? If the problem is that we aren't being "Captain America World Police" enough, that doesn't seem like a problem to me.
