Duke Cunningham's sad letter from prison
Advertisements [?]
http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2541128

Cunningham has lashed out at the reporter who uncovered the corruption scandal that sent him to prison, telling him in a letter that his "constant cruelty" had nearly destroyed Cunningham's life.

"I hurt more than anyone could imagine and without my faith your constant cruelty would destroy me," Cunningham wrote.

"I should have said no to the gifts. For that, I am truly sorry," Cunningham wrote.

"Each time you print it hurts my family and now I have lost them along with everything I have worked for during my 64 years of life," Cunningham wrote. "I am human not an animal to keep whipping."
