You'tr right. I just bought some Enron and I feel much better. ===== Justice Dept. Won't Back Shareholders Jun 12 12:41 AM US/Eastern By MARCY GORDON AP Business Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration rejected a Securities and Exchange Commission recommendation in a key Supreme Court case and did not support shareholders suing Wall Street banks for damages over Enron's collapse. The Justice Department's solicitor general, who represents the administration in Supreme Court cases, did not file a friend-of-the- court brief by Monday's deadline. The SEC recently asked Solicitor General Paul Clement to file in support of the Enron shareholders. The move puts the Bush administration at odds with the federal agency that oversees securities markets as well as with dozens of states and several consumer and investor advocates. Earlier Monday evening, Justice Department spokesman Eric Ablin would not say whether a brief had been filed or when one might be, but the department only had until midnight EDT Monday to do so. Dan Newman, a spokesman for Enron plaintiffs' law firm Lerach Coughlin, called the administration's stance "an unprecedented example of politics trumping the rule of law, a crass slap in the face to (SEC Chairman Christopher) Cox and the Enron victims from the hyperpolitical Bush Justice Department." breitbart.com

U.S. troops mistakenly kill Afghan police 42 minutes ago Afghan police mistook U.S. troops on a nighttime mission for Taliban fighters and opened fire on them, prompting U.S. forces to return fire and call in attack aircraft, killing seven Afghan police, officials said Tuesday. President Hamid Karzai's spokesman labeled the shooting at a remote police checkpoint in the eastern province of Nangarhar "a tragic incident" caused by a lack of communication. "The police forces were not aware of the coalition's operation," said spokesman Karim Rahimi. "The police checkpoint in the area thought that they were the enemy, so police opened fire on the coalition, and then the coalition thought that the enemies were firing on them, so they returned fire back." news.yahoo.com
