Nouriel Roubini calling for the ultimate punishment for bankers?

Most famous economist in the world talks of hanging top bankers!

This clip of the world's most famous economist is a jaw dropper.  Although we do need to prosecute and jail many major bankers responsible for manipulation, deception and theft, I am against capital punishment or harsh treatment.  As people everywhere learn more, day by day, about the fraud that has been perpetuated on humanity by those they entrusted with their wealth and as the financial system collapses, we must remember to be responsible, NOT reactive, like a lynch mob.  By the way, bank employees are NOT bankers...we're talking only about the top tier, the guys who design investment vehicles intended to fleece the people, pension and union funds;  the guys who secretly set the stage for housing bubbles and subprime loans designed to explode, the CEO's, etc...those guys.  I could go on, but, why don't you go seek out Matt Taibbi, the best financial journalist in the world.  Now here's a link to Nouriel Roubini, talking about hanging these guys...and, he's a close friend of Tim Geitner, our Treasury Secretary?!?
