See my post above about "connecting the dots." That's what you're doing. Moving from a general claim - "the federal bureaucracy is out of control" - and then just arbitrarily drawing lines all over the map with no evidence for any of them, to arrive at the conclusion that Bush is corrupt, etc. If you really aren't crazy already, please, please, turn back from this unfortunate path.

What I see is that when Andersen was given the contract in the early part of last year, no one knew about the Enron mess, or the Global Crossing fiasco.

It is a CONTRACT, and cannot be cancelled at the whim of the government without incurring legal problems.

Now the DOJ is investigated Andersen, and I imagine if they are found criminally liable they will have their contract cancelled, because then there will be EVIDENCE, not merely suspicion.

What I see is that Arthur Andersen was a huge respected firm until this mess came to the surface. I imagine you can find contracts with AT&T, several national church organizations, Microsoft, local and state governments, etc. Not every connection indicates conspiracy. Sometimes, you surely realize, it is simply coincidence.

I already stated that I'm not of, or against, the Uncle Bill camp. I'm also not crazy thank you very much. I believe it is just as nutso to blindly support someone just because he heads your party and you elected him. Bush is on my $hit list and he stays there untill he takes his boot off Israels neck and turns the FBI and the INS upside down and inside out. It would also help if he would quit this nice guy crap and come out in support of his judicial nominees. He needs to quit this corrupt political crap and be a man. HE has the bully pulpit. He needs to publicly call out dasshole and squish him like a bug. But then that might upset somebody.

Being mad about decisions you think are wrong is different from creating a fantasy world of the kind I described. I disagree with some of Bush's actions too, especially the current stance towards Israel. But I don't think that posting to thirty thousand news stories "proves" that everything in them "adds up" to a masochistic fantasy of World Domination by "Them" in which the Bush family are all Insiders in the International Globalist Plot to destroy America.

Yeah, OK I'll sign on to that.

I think that the "test" will be to see who "Justice/FBI" go after at Anderson re: the "shredding" of Enron related docuements. Who at Anderson will have to "take one for the team" ?

[lawdog]

oops" documents"
