Trying to tell me this is a similar thing? Right now this is concentrated in one org and no evidence of knowledge at the top. I can see how this makes me support sexual abuse. Guess I'll go register now Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Actually in all seriousness, it's unlikely that RICO charges will apply to NewsCorp. The alleged acts in the hacking scandal have not risen to the level of fraud that is required under RICO, said Douglas Abrams, a professor at the University of Missouri School of Law who has written a book on civil RICO cases. "The general rule of thumb for a RICO action is: if you think you have one, you don't," Abrams said. One pitfall includes a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that curtailed U.S. lawsuits over conduct occurring abroad. In the wake of that decision, trial courts have taken a dim view of using RICO for "extraterritorial conduct." http://www.reuters.c...TRE76C5RG20110713

(and I'm NOT saying it was Obama doing it...but the environment in the exec branch based on the "war" with news corp's most visible arm..fox news.)
