IT'S ABOUT TIME
Finally. It took about two years too long, and the timing is extremely suspect... but it looks like the government is finally about to indict George W. Bush's good friend Ken Lay. The indictment comes as part of the investigation of the Enron collapse, in which corporate officers committed fraud that bilked more than 35,000 employees of their life savings.
Now, I'm betting that the timing is planned out so that Bush can point to his former friend and claim that he shows no favorites... that his Justice Department will go after anyone, no matter how high up they are. But the question we need to ask is: what took them so long? If Bush was really committed to holding corporate ma-fraud-ers accountable, why is the Justice Department only going after the Bush contirbutor now, five months before the election, when he can get some publicity out of it?
