"Prosecutorial terrorism"? I think that would only apply to the destruction of Arthur Andersen for coming forward and admitting to shredding documents related (but not detrimental) to Enron financial reporting. Enron withheld information from its auditor and perpetrated a fraud, yet they are still in business and Arthur Andersen is not. Who was the scapegoat here? Twenty-eight thousand people were put out of work. Two in that company were found liable for misconduct. Prosecutorial terrorism? As a former Arthur Andersen employee, I think that term would apply to me, not to Ken Lay, who goes home to his mansion every night.
