The classic super lobbyist, he has been criticized for his flair and overzealous ambition as well as for perpetrating a fraud of epic proportions. But now we have a sympathetic take on the man who came to epitomize Washington greed. Boston reporter Gary Chafetz tries to disprove the common belief that Abramoff bilked Native Americans and other clients out of hundreds of millions of dollars in his new book, "The Perfect Villain: John McCain and the Demonization of Lobbyist Jack Abramoff."

 Take a harrowing journey into the life of former super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff--the internationally reviled pariah and symbol of Washington greed and corruption. Experience his utter destruction when he is suddenly swept away by a nightmarish catastrophe, engineered by the not-so pious trio of Sen. John McCain, The Washington Post, and the Department of Justice. It should come as no surprise that in the final analysis, Abramoff was neither a saint nor The Perfect Villain.

The American people need to know what is in those files. There are claims that during his captivity as a POW, John McCain granted between 20 and 32 interviews, many of which were prejudicial to the United States and provided the North Vietnamese with valuable military information.
