SAMIZDATA POINTS to this story on corruption in the EU and observes:

But whereas businessmen at Enron and elsewhere were swiftly brought before the courts, it seems that corruption in the bureaucracy of the EU is proving much tougher to clean up.

To which I would add, why is anyone surprised?

Somehow, these scandals never lead people to question government, the way that scandals like Enron lead to dark warnings about the “dark side of capitalism.”
