keithwhu at Aug 05 2007 12:00:00 AM : I agree, in an ideal world, we would catch these guys and put them in prison. If we don't have the resources to do that though, then the next best thing i think, would be an amnesty. China found that by offering the amnesty they were able to uncover many more than the 1800 who came forward.
