If Josef Mengele could disappear and hide out for the rest of his life...
...why, exactly, couldn't Kenneth Lay?

I usually flee from conspiracy theories, but Lay had SO much to lose.

A man like him does not fart without a backup plan.

And a million-dollar handshake can buy lots of cooperation from officials in rural counties.

A few things I'd like to know;

1. Is the body being cremated?
2. Is there a way we can force fingerprints and DNA to be taken from the body?
3. Can some smart reporter in our midst check on the financial life of the Coroner who did the postmortem?

1. And they sure set a speed record with that same-day autopsy.
With a VISITING coroner, no less.

7. Well, it would make sense
if the visiting coroner was on his way there before the untimely demise. The way things go at airports these days...

A timely expiration.

8. And now they've announced he'll be cremated...
...and buried in Colorado.

3. I can answer one of your questions:

"Is there a way we can force fingerprints and DNA to be taken from the body?"

Uh. no.

Ben, Ben, Ben; it's time for some decaf. Who's the "we" who is going to force the "who" to do that? And how, exactly?

Time to let this one go, bud. It's spiraling out of control.

6. Seems to me those involved in the lawsuits against him might have standing
And might be keenly interested.

9. No, I think the coroner's office would be mightily insulted if those

prople "demanded DNA and fingerprints to prove he's really dead," and would tell them to go stuff themselves.

Come on. Enough of this is enough, already.

10. Seems to me I would care less how insulted they would be.
Fuck them.

Lawsuits worth billions are at play here.

15. Ditto
Anyway, they are professionals that are IN THE BUSINESS of verification and identification.

Whether they are offended or not is beside the point and not my concern.

4. I smelled a rat from the start on this one
It's too fucking convenient this close to sentencing. Bush and Rove could easily orchestrate this one.

5. And we can't prove they didn't do it, after all.
Could Ken Lay have faked his own death? It's possible. Will it every be definatively proven that he didn't fake his own death? It can't be.

11. Especially with a rapid cremation.
Ashes don't give DNA. They could find a tooth in the ashes, but a tooth could be easily planted. I would happily trade a few teeth for a chance to spend my declining years in a mansion in Rio.

16. Yep there it is. And, as per the new judicial theory, if someone could do
something they must have done it. Capability equals culpability.

13. He's helping out in the back forty clearing brush
with Bin Laden. Can't accuse our president of not helping his friends, now can we? He's a compassionate conservative, doncha know.
