the supply side of ghoos that ashu's hinted at above is an interesting proposition. the query topmost on my mind is: who lined the pockets of wagle, joshi and the former police chiefs? who have been nurturing the corrupt? it's a pity that CIAA is only going after the receipients of bribes - not the givers - as if all that corruption happened in a vacuum? if CIAA, instead of treating each corruption case as an isolated case, were to use it as a launching pad to round up more corrupt and nurturers of the corrupt, it could blow the tops off them both like the Hurricane Charlie. the idea is to try to create a domino effect by gettingthe corrupt (and nurturerers of the corrupt) to finger point at each other, and strip away another layer of corruption. incentives are necessary: the court (if it is able to persecute successfully) and CIAA (if it has a strong case against the corrupt) can both strike deals with the persecuted or the charged in return for you-know-what. make them sing like canaries. why dig graves for these monsters, when they can be made to dig graves for each other? having said this, it's a pity that between the CIAA and the court, they have not been able to persecute a single big fish! why? may be it's high time to hold the CIAA and its modus operandi to the toughest scrutiny. CIAA's been in operations for some years now, and and has nothing to show for it. and this is probably indicative of corruption that goes all the way to the very top...which means CIAA may possibly be a smoke- screen to fool the public into thinking the ladder of law has no top or bottom or that even the rich and the mighty get properly handled. only if it were so. who knows if CIAA is digging its own grave - i , for one, see its legitimacy eroding slowly but surely.
