Oh please-—get a life. That was an attempt at a joke.
Whereras quoting a comic book for serious consideration on this thread is nonsense.
The comic book is a historical artifact clearly demonstrating that the concept “paper trials” as a part of normal detective practice which existed before there was a an overgrowth of Federal Bureaucracy and a CIA.
Batman was a fictional but still PRIVATE SECTOR solution to crime. Does that scare you?
In the instant case of MF Global, PRIVATE SECTOR solutions and investigations would be better than all that comes out of this hearing, I’d bet. Old school practices and concepts of fraud and fiduciary duty fought out mano-a-mano in local equity courts and criminal courts trump the modern Bureaucratic DC Elitocracy and its flaky, hyper-emotional, posturing hearings and its opaque, meandering, investigations, whether those occur in Congressional hearings or by some three letter agency.
The immaturity of the protected, sinecured class — congressmen, bureaucrats is more childish than any comic book.
