[Miss Marple]

Enron didn't have obvious misstatements like WorldCom and Tyco, but rather hundreds of sub-partnerships. It takes longer to go through those and find the illegalities. Also, some of what Enron did was unfortunately legal, although unethical.

I imagine the plea bargain is to get more information on others. Otherwise, what is there to bargain with?

Bush also chided senators for not sending him legislation he wants that he says will reinvigorate the economy, including energy legislation, a measure guaranteeing terrorism insurance and appropriations bills that include restraints on federal spending. No surprise here; if dimocrats pass something that will help with recovery, they would have blunted their own agenda, thus they WANT the economy to remain sour, etc. so they can exploit it! Vote the bastards out! Time for the pubbies to hold all three branches ... so we can jump on them like a hen on a Junebug if they don't legislate as we want! With all three, there would be no need to negotiate Daschle farm bill extras (yes, Li'l Tommy busted the budget) or Byrd pork, just do what is right to shrink the fed and protect the unborn innocent individual human beings democrats want sacrificed for their empowerment with women voters.
