SEIZING ASSETS
We've seen many times in the past where individuals suspected of even
low-level drug trafficking have had their assets seized by the government,
without any judicial proceedings.
In the Enron case, we keep hearing about all these executives and how many
tens of millions of dollars they siphoned out of the company. Why aren't we
seeing their assets seized? It would seems that perhaps our priorities are
a little misplaced.
