WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Major investment banks helped Enron Corp. for years by lending the fallen energy giant billions of dollars via elaborately disguised commodity trades, a congressional panel said on Monday, linking Wall Street more closely to the Enron debacle.

Investigators for the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said Enron, bankrupt since December, obtained $8.5 billion in financing from 1992 to 2001 from Citigroup Inc. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Inc., which collected hefty fees and interest payments.

Question: Who is going to jail here? Will Bush address the nation on all of this when the market loses around 500 points tomorrow? Will Bush mention the word "jail" in a sentence? Or as Republicans...do we have to fear yet more crap is going to be thrown in our face and the Clinton gang gets another pass and this becomes overhyped fluff?
