No day in court for our sense of right and wrong?

The NY Times headline caught my eye: "In Financial Crisis, No Prosecutions of Top Figures". It is a question asked repeatedly across America: why, in the aftermath of a financial mess that generated hundreds of billions in losses, have no high-profile participants in the disaster been prosecuted?
