IMHO, It seems just ludicrous that so many are willing to let themselves (and their fellow citizens) be walked over just because their "representatives" hold the power. I'm certain most of the Dubya cheerleaders here would be demanding the records be turned over if the tables were turned. Our gov is established to protect us all, and non-classified info (as this should be) should be subject to public scrutiny, for all of our benefit. I'm sure there were both dems and repubs harmed by the Enron issue. If the Energy dept was having meetings with these CEOs, records of those meetings should be part of the public record. To withhold this type of information, as a policy no less, leaves wide lattitude for "insider" collusion. And there is plenty of evidence already to believe this may be the case.
Just because the republicans are in the WH now, is no reason to not hold these people accountable for their work. Especially where thousands of citizens have had their lifelong saving evaporate overnite. We need the truth, even if it hurts "our party"
Again, no flames toward you. ;^ )
