Have you seen this? WorldCom's CEO writes a letter to President Bush:

Yesterday you rightly expressed outrage and concern about past accounting irregularities at WorldCom. I want you to know that we, the current management team, are equally surprised and outraged. That is why we immediately brought this matter to the attention of the SEC and the public. I am proud that our own people discovered these irregularities and had the courage and professionalism to act quickly. rest of story.

Nice links - thanks. The guy is saying the right
things, and if he's only been on board a couple
of months - I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

The level of accounting corruption is really astounding.
If our society accepts lying and stealing, which are
really the same thing - then we are sunk and will
ourselves pass into the dust bin of history. And rightly so.
