The point is----these cases illustrate the need for accountability, and are the ones that triggered the curent investigation.

Since Enron, accounting procedures are suspect. Now NPO's are being investigated, and hopefully will be subjected to more stringent laws covering their activities.

The VERY first law that needs to be passed is to make donor records public. Once we know where the money comes from, a lot more will be made clear.

Grampa Dave has made a very good case for thinking that the Sierra Club and other radical ecological groups get a chunk of money from the Middle East, whose interest it is to stop drilling in ANWR, new refineries, etc.

I also would like to know WHO gave money to the Clinton library.

NPO's should not have the ability to hide their donor lists, period.
