Detroit Mayor Off to Jail

There is one word missing from this story. Can you guess what that one word might be?
A federal judge ordered Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to jail Thursday for violating the terms of his bond in his perjury case, a decision the judge said he would have made for any "John Six-Pack" defendant before him.

The mayor made an unauthorized trip to Canada last month, leading the county prosecutor's office to request Kilpatrick be punished and triggering the judge's ruling.
Read the whole thing. As it is a "developing story", I expect they will eventually get around to mentioning the unmentionable, but reading it is an exercise that restores faith in the judicial system, at least...
