Kenneth Lay, Chairman, has been at the helm while the company managed to get its tit caught in the wringer, business-wise and legally.

Great! And he joins the other failed oilman, dubya, fashioning domestic

It's much easier to design things to enrich yourself and a few others than to craft a genuinely durable policy that broadly serves a countries citizens over some significant time period. Bush and his advisors are scoundrels on so many levels, but sadly they just aren't referred to as criminals any more. Why is that?
