Martha Stewart was prosecuted for the same reason that Ken Star was appointed as special prosecutor. The idea is to take a law and distort it to such an extreme that the officials and the public will lose their taste for any more prosecutions. Just as the absence of a special prosecutor law has given Bush a pass, the Martha Stewart case will lower demands for more cases of insider crimes, giving the Ken Lays of this world the protection they paid for.
