But facts don't back them up. Clinton was more close to Ken Lay than Bush. As president Clinton directed the CIA to do background research for Enron to support their bids for overseas contracts. Clinton had Keny Lay on his global warming/Kyoto protocol task force. Not coincidentally Lay and Enron were all for implementing Kyoto in that it would have brought them billions by via natural gas sales. Clinton used Ken Lay as private sector point man in his failed attempt to get fastrack approved.
It is all there. See Clinton Enron Nexus Clinton Administration Procured Credit for Enron, Used CIA as Resource for Enron , posted more than two years ago for info.

Last week a co-worker sent me an anti-Bush email (see previous post), and four or five of the points had to do with Bush and Enron. The co-worker got mad when I challenged the factuality of many of the points, specifically the one that claimed Bush was "protecting" Enron cronies. Your and other posts give me even more facts to rebut these charges - 23 previous indictments, new indictments including Lay, Clinton contacts with Enron, etc.
