The similarity is no doubt for good reason -- wait until the offshore ENRON accounts are disclosed showing Bush cronies sticking it to the public. HarvardWatch, an alumni and student group which monitors the university's investments, likened the venture to those used at the disgraced energy firm Enron to disguise debts before it collapsed. Mr Bush was a director at Harken from 1986 to 1993 and at the time in question was a $100,000 a year consultant. Minutes show that he personally approved the deal. "The partnership bears strong resemblance to the widely-condemned Enron partnerships, controlled by insiders and disguising the dismal prospects of the company," the watchdog said.
