Related to this subject, people might find _Tokyo Vice_ interesting/disturbing:
http://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Vice-American-Reporter-Police/dp...
It's by a reporter who worked the vice beat in Japan for years.
It's the story of a foreigner working as a serious reporter in Japan. He finds that the US government has been essentially selling organs to the Yakuza crime lords. No, really!
