Greg Palast: Give it Back, George...

[democraticinsurgent]

The always reliable Greg Palast nails Kenny Boy and his pals in Washington:
====================
GIVE IT BACK, GEORGE: THE LAY LOOT THAT BOUGHT THE WHITE HOUSE
BUSH AND REPUBLICANS SHOULD GIVE UP ILL-GOTTEN GAINS
by Greg Palast

Under the racketeering law, RICO, even before a verdict, anything bought with the proceeds of the crime goes into the public treasury.

But there seems to be special treatment afforded those who loaded up on the 'bennies' of Ken Lay's crimes. If the G-men don't know where the tainted loot is cached, try this address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Ask for George or Dick.

And what else did Ken Lay buy with the money stolen from California electricity customers? Answer: the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

When I worked as a racketeering investigator for government, nothing
was spared, including houses bought with purloined loot. Let there be
no exception here. It's time to tape up the White House gate and hang
the sign: "Crime Scene: Property to be Confiscated. Vacate Premises
Immediately.

2. My company pension system lost 7 million -

when the crooked E folded. Do you think we could get a lien on the White House? If not, what about Bush and Lay's houses, property and other assets?
