A list of clean public officials might be more manageable

I'm not entirely against a "blacklist" but I can't say that I am very confident that the inclusion / exclusion of certain individuals by United States will be fair.

On July 26, the US House and Senate approved a bill that will require the Secretary of State to share the identities of government officials in Central America’s Northern Triangle countries who are involved in corruption and drug trafficking with Congress.

The bill specifies that the secretary must submit a report that includes “the names of senior government officials in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador who are known to have committed or facilitated acts of grand corruption or narcotics trafficking.”

Will the United States share its intelligence with the public or with their Central American counterparts, or is it just providing a list of names with an accusation or two?

Also, as it is portrayed so far, it's another all stick, no carrot, policy. Is the United States preparing to support Central America with additional resources to investigate and, if evidence warrants it, prosecute these individuals? Is there a promise to increase assistance should prosecutors go after those on the list?

Couldn't this be a more collaborative initiative? I'd much rather a concerted effort on the part of the United States and its Central American partners to strengthen institutions and prosecute suspected corrupt officials and drug traffickers. A list? Eh. I'm not so sure.
