The lawmakers should be asking why federal prosecutors didn't look into this fraud during the eight years of the Clinton administration. The Justice Department is a little busy right now with the crackdown on terrorism, but at least they're investigating.

I'm just curious whether the administration is holding this prosecution in their hip pocket waiting to see what the French do in the UN security council on the resolutions against Iraq. If they don't play ball, I hope we yank Credit Lyonnais' banking license so this state owned French bank can no longer do business in the US.

Before Waxmann gets too spun up, someone should tell him that it was a Democrat CA insurance commissioner who approved the purchase of Executive Life by the French investment group that later turned out to be a front for the French bank Credit Lyonnais.

P.S.: My father was one of the Executive Life policyholders affected by this -- fortunately, not one of the disabled annuitants mentioned in the article.
