While * whines about cutting foreign oil programs, check this out:

The ruling is a setback for the Bush administration, which made prosecution of white-collar criminals a high priority following accounting scandals at major corporations. After Enron's 2001 collapse, the Justice Department went after Andersen first.


:wtf:

that the B*sh administration WANTS to prosecute white collar crime...

pretty funny

can reclaim the name Arthur Anderson, undeclare bankruptcy and continue shredding?

:sarcasm:

Actions speak louder than words. *co's actions make the media's assertion that *co wants to fix anything a joke, but people will buy it all the same.

We get what we deserve.

A bully club if you ain't in it and part of the gang..you are to be used up abused,swindled,and exploited..and the laws are not written for people like you.These bastards want to rule and be rich and never suffer and they want to be above the law,they are sociopaths and they want us as slaves work until we die.

yeah, right

Uh-huh. I can just hear Cheyney bitching about those activist judges interfering with justice.

Someone was probably going to use tie ins from the Arthur Anderson case to support charges against Enron. This neatly undermines that approach. Kenny Boy is going to walk.

isn't kenny's actions far worse than the hijackers * knew about on 9/11?

Our country is about money, not people. The 3000 people (plus 1600+ US soldiers) are dead. 5000 (plus all the other lives these filthy corporate hijackers have hurt or ruined) are hurting, with no income.

No income means no life. For many. Some killed themselves because of kenny. (though one or two of them were kenny's cohorts).

kenny is despicable. As much so as Osama. Terrorism is far more than ramming planes into big badly built buildings. It's hurting people down to the core. kenny is one such person, he is a terrorist too.

Those fuckers ruined and killed thousands with their stealing, yet because that was a "white collar" crime, you will never see the bodies.

I remember a statistic from back than that I never forgot.

They stole the equivalent to allow 100,000 people buy a house. 100,000 people! How many of those people, who deserved a loan were turned down so they could line their pockets? And what about the thousands that did have loans out to these banks? They lost their homes because these institutions defaulted on their loans.

Vile fuckers, everyone of them.

Now we have Enron, with butt buddy kenny boy, that screwed all these people out of their jobs, pensions, stocks, 401k's, etc. The collateral damage is epic! How many kids won't go to college now? How many have to go on welfare? How many go on the Medicaid rolls? How many families were ruined?
He will get a slap on the wrist, go to the rich mans prison, retire and write a book, professing his mia culpa to the nation. Typical repuke.

The bottom line to this administration is this: They don't give a shit.

Once the rest of the nation truly realizes this, it will only be then they will be brought up on charges and brought before the whole world as the crooks they are.

Bush licker, maybe... though "The devil's third-in-command" seems most apropos.

Pity about what's happening in the world.

GULFPORT, Miss. — Tucked away in the 96-page emergency military spending bill signed by President Bush this month are four paragraphs that give energy companies the right to explore for oil and gas inside a sprawling national park.

The amendment written by Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) codifies Mississippi's claim to mineral rights under federal lands and allows drilling for natural gas under the Gulf Islands National Seashore — a thin necklace of barrier islands that drapes the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico.
