US Police Catch 10,000 Fugatives - in six days

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4446837.stm

US police have arrested more than 10,000 fugitives in just six days, in what they say is the largest operation of its kind in US history.

More than 3,000 federal and local officers made the arrests during Operation Falcon, from 4-10 April.

"Fugitives belong behind bars, and the arrests of 10,340 fugitives translates into safer communities," said Ben Reyna, director of the federal US Marshals Service, the Reuters news agency reported.

according to the report I saw last night on Countdown, I think it was. They like to play up the murderers and rapists, of course, because it makes them look good, but I see this all as a big publicity stunt.
