Bill Bennett, Bob Bennett, and the Criminal Element
by Russell Mokhiber
and Robert Weissman

<edit>

As you might recall -- and how could you forget? -- Bill Bennett took to the airwaves a couple of weeks ago espoused that "you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." He then quickly added, "That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down."

Of course, Bill Bennett was talking about street crime.

If he were to address the issue of white collar and corporate crime -- the kind that his brother Bob defends every day for a very nice living -- then he might have said something like -- "you could abort every white male destined to go to Harvard Business School, and your crime rate would go down."

Now that would be impolite.

But the reality is that crimes committed by the powerful -- both in government and in corporations -- inflicts far more damage on society than all crime committed by the powerless.

Let's take the crimes of Harvard Business School graduate George Bush.

1. Russ Mokhiber rocks

He used to have space on Common Dreams where any transcripts of questions he asked during White House press conferences were posted. he was one of only a couple (including Helen Thomas) willing to ask hard questions and note when answers were not provided.

3. He doesn't do that anymore? Pity.

He used to give Ari nightmares...

4. I think he was kicked out

Of the WH Press Corps. Probably to make a space for Jeff Gannon and the other propaganda machines.

5. LOL! I bet they welcomed Gannon/Guckert with open arms

Well, at least some of them did.
