"Enron did not grow rich making better products. It achieved its wealth by exploiting changes in government energy policy that it had a heavy hand in creating. It then rewarded its meek benefactors with donations that kept the machinery, in Washington at least, humming efficiently." .................................................. Enron's used money to gain access! And Enron wasn't the biggest contributor to the Bush machine. Yet, the beliefs of "Kenny Boy, W and Poppy Bush about energy policies have been mutually shared over many years. Friendship and Enron's campaign donations have cemented the Bush-Enron relationship, too. Eventually, I hope that the public will understand the connection. Congress is not immune either. Enron's money and the money from other big business is spread all over Washington. Until Enron, I never realized how much power was invested in the accountant. As a member of the Congressional panel pointed out today, it was an accountant, at Arthur Anderson, and not a lawyer, who made the decision to destroy documents. JMOP
