Like I said --- "No Laws Broken", right?

That's the same we heard from the previous slime in the WH.

Do you think a society will ever exist whereby the rich and powerful do nothing to help line the pockets of their pals? (Who would obviously be also rich and powerful)

Would you pass laws to make this type of thing illegal?

Harken's $25 million stock offering in 1987, for example, was underwritten by a Little Rock, Arkansas, brokerage house, Stephens, Inc., which placed the Harken stock offering with the London subsidiary of Union Bank -- a bank that had surfaced in the scandal that resulted in the downfall of the Australian Labor government in 1976 and, later, in the Nugan Hand Bank scandal.

I hope you ask for complete financial disclosure from everyone you do business with. What makes you think W even thought about where Harken's money was?

It's fairly sleazy to take a well paying job that exists in name only. We elected him President, not Saint.

Yes, of course. But, my friend, here is our chance to learn the difference between "spin" and "truth".

This learning curve may be steep...but, please hang in there with us....shake off the Clinton years and give the light of truth a chance.

But the Bush administration is investigating Enron. They rebuffed Enron when Enron wanted favors. If there does turn out to be shenanigans that went on, I will be truly disappointed. But so far, all that has happened is that a couple of phone calls were made and Enron officials were rebuffed. Give the Bush administration a chance.
