[Peace-discuss] Europeans Freeze Assets Linked to Deposed Tunisian President; What About US?

[Robert Naiman]

France, Switzerland, and Germany have all announced the freezing of
assets linked to the Ben Ali clan. But the U.S. has made no such
announcement, and the issue of U.S. support for Tunisian efforts to
track and possibly recover these assets hasn't, to my knowledge -- and
I've been searching for it, and asking reporters and others about it
-- even been mentioned in the press. Shouldn't the US also move to
freeze any assets in the U.S. linked to the Ben Ali clan, and indicate
its full support for Tunisian efforts to recover stolen assets?
