While low-cost carriers have since long been successfully operating throughout the U.S., Europe, and southern Asia, Japan has seen very little of the low-price action.
When governments punish the accusers while pardoning the accused, it usually implies that there is something wrong with the government itself. Otherwise, why would they go to such great lengths to protect some low rank whalers who stole a little meat? Is it because they don’t want to open the door to further investigations that may expose deeper corruptions? What are they really hiding? How high up does it go? Ironically, the Japanese government has brought attention upon themselves by the way they reacted.
