If Im not mistaken, RICO is designed to move fast in order to throw a net over mobsters. But yes, if this report is correct, there would be a knee jerk temptation to new tone this close to the vest into the sweet by and by. While that is the general pblic perception, only about 25-30% of RICO prosecutions involve what is traditionally called "organized crime". It was also specifically designed to go after corruption in government, including law enforcement agencies and courts amongst other organizations.

But while RICO is designed to move quickly, I imagine that Bush could meddle for the sake of the ‘new tone’, right?
