Obama signed a recent executive order in July, It seems to give more power to Holder and the DOJ,

...Under the new strategy, the Justice Department and the FBI would appear to have heightened roles in the government's effort to tackle transnational threats. The National Security Council has long been the lead agency in targeting transnational threats during the Clinton and Bush administrations, and will retain a prime role, helping to oversee combined law enforcement, intelligence and military agencies. Holder said his department would press to update anti-racketeering laws and extend other statutes to combat money laundering, arms trafficking, cybercrime and intellectual property offenses.

Something doesn't seem right about the timing of this, given Holders role in the ATF scandal. I don't know if allows confiscation of assets.

What about international drug trafficking? Is that significantly left out? It should be included. After all, the core product of the drug cartel that used the weapons is drugs. Be suspicious that there may be a drug component to FAST AND FURIOUS.
