"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks were pinned lower in early afternoon trade on Friday after Johnson & Johnson , a drug giant often seen as a safe haven in uncertain times, confirmed it was the target of a federal probe"

Isn't this being tough? The SEC (under Bush's watch) is requiring the 1,000 largest companies in America to submit their earnings with the signature of the CEO and CFO so there will be no way for the big guys to avoid responsibility. There are more SEC "probes" going on now than any time in history. My point about Bush not being a prosecuter goes directly to your meaningless statement that "nobody has even been indicted". Are you suggesting he is telling the DOJ not to indict? Or do you think it is the President's job to indict people? Justice takes time, and in America you are (or used to be anyway) INNOCENT until proven guilty. No matter how many Congressmen (women) and Senators call you names in public. I will bet you that there will be plenty of indictments. The only thing I see in the way is the democrats trying to unseat the toughest head of the SEC ever or continuing to lie to the public that Bush is for the crooks.

"Of course he should bring the crooks to justice"

We agree on this, and so does President Bush, no matter how many times you demos say he doesn't. If there are no indictments a year from now I may switch over to your side. But I bet there will be plenty. Most of corporate America is honest, and those that are not are shaking in their boots. The top 1,000 companies are being watched.

ps - Hasn't the accounting firm Arthur Anderson been charged with something?
