Enron-Bush connections go even deeper that this. The whole orchestration of the 2000-2001 phony energy crises had to have been agreed to by Bush-Cheney. Why? Because it started the week after Bush-Cheney were first nominated, and only stopped the day after Jeffords switched parties and gave DEms subpoena powers to investigate. Cheney's energy papers controversy also connected. Enron was a key strategist for energy policy. Bbasically, they had these goals:

- Deregulate all energy biz and jack up prices, get stinking rich, then turn eyes to the Iraqi fields
- Push for tax-payer funded power plant construction
- Use high energy prices as way to get ANWAR drilling
- Use the same as excuse to open up wilderness and coastlines for drilling
- Poo poo conservation and get us even more hooked on oil
- Push less clean energy sources over "wimpy" clean ones
- Sock it to California and Grey Davis, smearing Davis as "the one to blame" for the energy crisis, then rig a special election to get rid of him. Enter Arnold who met with Ken Lay before the recall.
- Rig phony "disarming" of Libya in exchange for big oil contracts there.
- Afghan pipeline, dealing with Taliban (until 9-11)

* When you start thinking about the enormity of it you start wondering if Bush-Cheney really want to end terrorism at all. Terrorism has helped them jack up oil prices to $60. Under CLinton they were about $25.
