Why don't we use this kind of pressure to force the North Koreans and Iranians to comply with our civil rights laws. If the the US ,and Senator Levin,Pres.Obama and his croneys would have spent all this time and OUR money on trying to be competitive with the Swiss banks, we wouldn't have a problem. The US is a big tax haven to citizens of all countries, (except the USA.) Non resident aliens pay no tax on interest earned in our banks. What would we do if Germany bullyed us into giving up those name to their home country? would we do it? no way! it would violate OUR laws. Countries all over the world are laughing at our greedy polititians trying to force another country to turn over those names to get more money to squander. this is very embarassing! the US should back off this embarrasing, laughable venture of trying to bully another country into complying with our laws.
