Andersen says it has "also asked former U.S. Sen. John Danforth to conduct an immediate and comprehensive review of Andersen's records management policy and to recommend improvements." It does not say how much it is paying Danforth for his counsel, but it can have this policy tip for nothing: Don't destroy documents related to a scandal that led to a bankruptcy that wiped out $70 billion in shareholder value.

John Danforth? Hehehehehe. Bring out the FLIR tapes.

Corruption in the Federal Government
"The Enron situation is another tragic example. Here we have a major American corporation lying to their stockholders and to the press. We did a segment on this last night, and I received hundreds of letters saying that Americans who bought Enron stock were responsible and not the dishonest executives.

That view is insane. Enron's accountants were constantly putting out misleading reports, and insider selling is not made public until months after it happens. Attorney General Ashcroft should be all over this situation. The FBI should be grilling the accountants and executives, and the U.S. attorney in Houston should be preparing indictments right now.

But Enron executives are close to Vice President Dick Cheney, and they still have power in Republican circles. So we'll see if anything will be done.

The more corruption that is tolerated by the feds, the weaker the United States becomes. The Clinton administration was flat-out corrupt, and now the Bush administration seems willing to keep silent on urgent matters."
