How the mighty have fallen: Bernard Kerik, the police commissioner of New York when the September 11 attacks occurred, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for tax fraud, lies he told to the Bush White House while being vetted for the Homeland Security chief post, and six other felonies. Kerik pleaded guilty in November and had been awaiting his sentence while under house arrest in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.
