Fascists and Kleptocrats
After the anouncement yesterday that British officials had broken up an alleged plot to attack aircraft traveling from Britain to the United States, President Bush denounced the "Islamic fascists" who have masterminded such attacks. But he also had his mind on another geopolitical enemy: kleptocracy--that is, high-level corruption by senior government officials. In a separate statement, Bush said the practice "is a grave and corrosive abuse of power and represents the most invidious type of public corruption. It threatens our national interest and violates our values." To do someting about it, the administration has unveiled a new National Strategy to Internationalize Efforts against Kleptocracy.
