Clinton's FERC was just beginning to get the evidence in (with no help from the dishonest energy thieves) when Bush came into power and stacked FERC with pro-gouging staffers. It was all a big cover up. You apparently don't understand the dangers of deregulation. It had been sitting there like a time bomb waiting for someone like Enron (and cohorts) to take full advantage of in a huge coordinated attack. They did this. Deregulation can be a license to steal when those controlling the flow gang up and collude. That's exactly what happened. Davis had no idea what hit him until California was already robbed. Then in came the Ed Gillespie disinformation campaign trying to blame the ripoffs on the victims. That said, Davis should have fought back harder and sooner. I wish he would have marched to the White House and picketed there until he got justice, but the evidence took a long time to gather and shredding machines were very very busy.

BTW: Look for the Enron article I posted the other day about the tape CBS has of Enron traders whooping asnd cheering their ripoffs and being glad Bush is behind them. Might change your tune. Enron of course was Bush's largest contributor and ran some Bush campaign operations out of their Houston offices.
