Why the Indecency?

Neocon central advises the USA exploit Chinese anti-corruption efforts:

As the noose tightens, U.S. intelligence ought to make clear to those Chinese within the government elite that there are safe havens in the West—as long as they are willing to cooperate.

Why?  We don't have enough corrupt officials of our own?  Shouldn't we be outsourcing anti-corruption to the Chinese instead of welcoming corrupt Chinese officials?

This is clearly an elite worried about its future. U.S. intelligence is in a position to facilitate defectors’ enjoyment of their wealth in relative security. Or, should Langley want to play hardball, it could well be in a position, in certain cases, to increase the danger of those who might want to stay in China by threatening to reveal embarrassing bits of information publicly, such as how much lucre they have stashed away, and where they have hidden it.

Ah yes, the same crowd that wants to hang Snowden for his bravery and selflessness wants to give safe harbor to corrupt officials and their ill-gotten gains.  And why not, the Weekly Standard is the standard bearer for crony capitalism (I wax tautological!). War profiteering, anyone?

How about we do the decent thing for once and not meddle in another countries internal affairs?
