HURRIYET- Yesterday, in the latest Ergenekon probe detentions, 35 were people taken into custody. Among them were trade unionists, policemen, former journalists, and well-known figures who appear frequently on TV.
I've lost track of how many people have been detained under Ergenekon due to the number of people detained and then freed, or taken into custody and released.
I wish newspapers would work to monitor the number of people detained and kept behind bars, as well as the number awaiting trial. But I'm not just curious about numbers.
If we saw all the names of the figures related to this probe, we could get an idea of the picture the prosecutors are trying to draw.
We see an organization which has almost hundreds of active members.
There are schemes, plans, charts, and thousands of pages of phone tap records and documents. But one thing is missing: We still don't know who led the group.
When this top figure comes to light, after his trial, he should be allowed to lecture on business administration at one of our universities.
Because anyone who managed to bring together such a vast variety of dissimilar people would find solving the most complex organizational problems to be a piece of cake. We would be unwise to let him rot in prison!
