#2 woo hoo! They've been listening to me!! Not that they know that.

This has always been what's wrong with the drug war and mafia fighting. The powers that be think that if they can catch the big fish, that it will all fall apart. While the conduct their stings, they allow the mid level fish to flourish and multiply. They prevent local law enforcement from shutting them down so they can eventually get to the big fish.

While it's not effective just hitting the little guy, it's clearly not effective going after the big guy either.

I've been whining about this for years.
