Combating Kleptocracy

Just in case there was any concern that the U.S. Department of the Treasury was not in the game on recognizing the threat to other nations caused by the practice of Kleptocracy, Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing P. O'Brien has these remarks on Treasury's approach toward combating Kleptocracy.

Key Point: the role of NGO's in reporting and combating Kleptocracy is integral to the strategy proposed.

Notes to the snide (you wags know who you are):
. Yes, that is his job title; No, he does not finance terrorists.
.. NGO's can not also *be* Kleptocrats. Non-Governmental, and all that.

Actually, government (everywhere) should lead by example by stemming kleptocracy in its own ranks (yeah, right, when Hell freezes over).
