Scott,

This author can't be this stupid, can he?:

<<Lay's decision to keep mum was especially strange, bordering on the ludicrous.>>

Whether Lay, Fastow or others did everything they're accused of or not, they face HUGE legal bills, potential bankruptcy, and likely criminal prosecution. With those harsh realities ahead of them, why on earth would they waive their constitutional right not to testify against themselves before a bunch of self-serving Congressmen, many of whom are among the practitioners of the world's oldest profession themselves?

I am as outraged by what appears to have been a massive shell game at ENE as anyone. Having said that, I don't believe for a second that most members of Congress, both House and Senate, give a hoot about this scandal beyond the publicity they can gain that will help them get reelected.

Rant over (for now).
