Well John Lou Dobbs tonight had Senator Fitzgerald on, and he said that Citibank hedged its debt risk to Enron by selling derivatives to unsuspecting investors, so it lost nothing. He also said that your favorite senator from your state was refusing to 1) investigate anything but Enron until election time, and 2) was refusing to call Rubin or CEO Weill of Citibank as witnesses.

So my question, given the usual partisan games in the senate, is WHERE is the GOP House on this? Just curious as to whether they are curious.

Sorry I didn't see your comment last night. I don't know what the House is doing. I will try to find out today. Of course, they could already have had Rubin testify for an entire week and the media wouldn't cover it, being so consumed with Harken and Halliburton as they are.

Thank you for your explanation of the seriousness of this situation. I and some others have felt that way, but I freely admit that I know nothing about banking and finance plus anytime I run into what appears to be Clintonian shenanigans I lose any objectivity and go immediately to volcanic rage.
