[Nettime-bold] ENRON.gov |
[article from salon.com. at least one of the US admin's enron-related people stepped out of the spotlight and quit their .gov posts weeks prior to the public outing of Enron's misdeeds. not one newspaper article makes any link between the Enron fiasco and the connections to the current US.gov. likewise, it will be interesting to see if Enron's SEC (securities and exchange commission) investigation will withhold data due to 'national security' issues. furthermore, one of the 'economic stimulus packages' presented backed by the US.gov was to give Enron 250 million dollars, to graciously help them out. note that Ken Lay, Enron's CEO, has been guiding US Energy Policy thus far, behind closed doors. it is unlikely there will be any investigative reporting. hope is that the US.gov will rethink/reexamine a policy that has public integrity, or face a furious political clash, as this is only a dead-ender.] Will Bush be tarnished by Enron's collapse?
