I wonder if a member of the audit committee would know if the company was going to post a loss. I found this letter in the Los Angeles Times . LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, July 8 Bush Stock Sale: Late Filing Not the Only Issue Re "Bush Filing Given a New Explanation" and "A Small Matter, but Bush's Responsibility, Experts Say," July 4: It seems to me that your articles on President Bush's stock trading in Harken Energy Corp. missed the point. While you focus on the lighter issue of his Securities and Exchange Commission filings, the issue of insider trading is almost ignored. The SEC said it did not appear that Bush was trading on inside information. Yet he sold two-thirds of his holdings shortly before a negative announcement was made public. He would certainly have known the negative information as a member of Harken's board of directors. I would like to see some reporting on this investigation of a man whose father, as president, was in charge of the investigators. Dan Jordan Long Beach latimes.com

As I have said b4, W is a destructive man. It is his nature. I don't know why his character has a destructive bent, but I agree with King's assessment. "As Bush relaxes this summer, he may want to ask himself why things are going wrong and why he is dividing, not uniting, the Western world. The division has no purpose: it will not make American industry more competitive, it will not save the environment, and it will not lift up Africa." kingpublishing.com
