Do you support the Enron thieves just because it wasn't 100% proven they led the robbery of 30 billion from the west coast? That was their biggest crime (carried out with Bush-Cheney at their side), but it was hard to prove intent so the prosecutor went a different direction. Also, Enron had its shredding machines going 24/7 after the company collapsed. In most of these corruption cases clear evidence is hard to come by because it is usually destroyed. The way they nail white collar crooks is by getting them on perjury or cutting a deal with a subordinate to testify against them. Rarely do they have any rock hard evidence. But let's be clear. Whether it's taking bribes to award taxpayer money, or bilking investors, or gouging on energy, these white collar crimes are far more damaging to our society than street crime. Street crime may be more dramatic and easy to prove, but the money involved is usually puny. When these corrupt politicians or CEO's sell us out it usually costs us billions. In Bush-CHeney-Enron-Exxon-DElay's vase, hundreds of billions.
