I just read Danny Schechter’s latest, “The Crime of Our Time,” which ads to his latest film, “Plunder,” and a series of related books.
It’s useful to remember that Congress and the presidents bailed out with our money people who appear guilty of serious crimes, and is now debating whether to slightly regulate their ongoing crimes, but criminal prosecutions are still not flowing down like waters into Wall Street.
Schechter’s book reads like a long blog entry blockquoting numerous other blogs. It’s not an indictment, but a wakeup call to prosecutors and to the rest of us.
