I really haven't had the time to properly give your comments, above, any real credence. However, in a bout of sleeplessness over the last few nights, I have been closely studying a series of documents relating to the ties between Enron, Kenneth Lay and power players deep inside the George Bush White House as well as former President Bill Clinton. For those who desire or need such things to validate some of my statements which will follow, here are just a few of the *thousands* of sources on the Internet regarding the downfall of Enron and ties to George Bush and others I can cite: http://news.findlaw.com/legalnews/lit/enron/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enron http://www.llrx.com/features/enron.htm http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/enron http://www.hereinreality.com/enron.html Links to the Enron Bankruptcy itself: http://www.elaw4enron.com/ The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission web site: http://www.ferc.gov/ A list of violations past and present involving SEC documents: http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/enron.htm As I said, these are but a few of the documents available online which anyone interested in knowing the *truth* can read for their own edification. My position on the ties between Enron, President George Bush and former President Bill Clinton is that it requires a considerable amount of diligence in order to comprehend the shadowy, underhanded deals made, the volume of e-mail messages between Enron principals and high-ranking government officials who purported were protecting the interests of ordinary citizens. However, the evidence clearly shows a level of collusion and involvement that reaches to the highest levels of the Bush administration. First, so that there is no misinterpretation, what public records show is that *Trillions* of dollars have been misappropriated, mercilessly stolen and paid out to high-ranking politicians and Enron employees while investors and the general public took it in the shorts. While this was happening, Vice-President Dick Cheney was holding meetings with Former Enron Corp. chairman Kenneth L. Lay that Cheney states he cannot remember. One of the biggest problems facing federal regulators and prosecutors is that of following the money trail. Between 1989 and 2001, Enron contributed nearly $6 million to federal parties and candidates, more than two-thirds to Republicans. More than $2 million of that money came during the 1999-2000 election cycle alone, when the company became one of the biggest boosters to President Bush's campaign for the White House. Enron's PAC and its employees contributed $114,000 to Bush during the 2000 campaign, while former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay served as one of Bush's Pioneers, individuals who raised at least $100,000 for the campaign. How would it look to George Bush faithful when Washington launches an investigation into one of its biggest campaign contributors? Given the estimated 4 million dollars that is paid each year in Washington, D.C. to lobbyists, perhaps you begin to see the scope of the problems still facing the Bush Administration. The public documents prove pretty conclusively that Vice-President Dick Cheney had knowledge before-the-fact about Enron's true financial condition. Furthermore, Cheney's lawyers have resisted nearly every effort to force him to disclose the contents of a series of e-mail messages sent to him by Enron just *hours* before the bankruptcy notices were filed. Given the overwhelming evidence that Enron paid over $550000 to Bush's election campaign, of covert meetings between Dick Cheney and Enron just hours before the bankruptcy notices were filed, and repeated appeals to the White House as the House of Cards known as Enron began falling down around everyone's head, I would hardly dare call this sticking my nose up my arm. Rather, I would call this righteous indignation at a corrupt, crooked administration who accepted illegal political campaign contributions from Enron and Worldcom leading to both corporations' demise. Of course, if you can find any court documents where it says conclusively that neither Vice-President Dick Cheney nor President George Bush had any knowledge relating to the criminal charges principals of both corporations now face, or that the charges of insider trading against various high-ranking Republicans in the Bush camp are untrue, I certainly would appreciate reading them, as well. Just remember when some West Coast utility companies saw their energy costs nearly triple due to Enron trading, Enron was making huge donations to President George Bush and making under-the-table deals with Dick Cheney. That's just *some* of what is already in court documents and on the public record.
