Ray, Here's your chance to thrill the home crowd. Notice the quote from YOUR source below: In the late 1990s, Enron was just one of the more than 400 corporations forced to dramatically restate their value because of accounting lapses, failures, or fraud. What went wrong? Through interviews with SEC officials, corporate executives, members of Congress, and investor advocates, FRONTLINE examines an oversight system gone soft and explores how market deregulation and conflicts of interest between analysts and the companies they were reporting on eroded the system of controls designed to protect stockholders from investment fraud. Now answer this, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF OVERSIGHT IN THE LATE 90'S WHEN ALL THIS ENOURMOUS PUBLIC SCREWING WAS BUILDING???? WAS IT DEMS OR REPS WHO CONTROLLED THE LEGISLATURE IN CALIF THAT VOTED INTO LAW THE GAPING LOOPHOLES THAT KENNY BOY SO WONDERFULLY EXPLOITED??? WHERE WAS BUSH/CHENEY DURING ALL THIS??? WAS'NT CHENEY IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND BUSH GOVERNING TEXAS??? HOW COULD THEY BE RESPONIBLE FOR THE GREED AND AVORIOUS THAT IS EMERGING???? WAS'NT IT BJ BILL CLIFTON AND HIS SIDEKICK PINOCHIO, WHO WERE IN CHARGE OF OVERSIGHT??? SHOULD'NT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HAVE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS????
