In the US yesterday, 40 people were arrested for corruption and money laundering, including three New Jersey mayors, two members of the state legislature, and - yes - several rabbis.

Right now, the BBC headline on the story reads, "US corruption probe nets dozens".

But according to the JTA's Ron Kampeas, earlier it read, "US rabbis arrested in crime probe".

What? No mayors? No elected officials?
