1. The Justice department claims that this just proves...
...that employees at Enron sometimes talked like Barnicle Bill? TRY AL CAPONE JACKASSES. God, I HATE this Administration.

3. I've been going to sea for over a half century.
We talked as "rough" as that; sometimes even rougher. But NEVER so contemptuous of people getting f+++ed over; GRANDMOTHERS yet!. But we always suspected that the Suits in the Front Office had such sentiments, if not the vocabularly.

But thanks for the link; it'll be put to good use.

5. that's Enron lawyers who said that....
I really wouldn't expect them to say anything else. What I find so shocking about this story is the line before that one:

"Both the Justice Department and Enron tried to prevent the release of these tapes. "

What I want to know is how long the JD has known about these tapes. Who gave the order to suppress them?

6. 'the Justice Department ... tried to prevent the release of these tapes'
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 09:42 PM by cosmicdot
nothing like a little malfeasance from our own Justice Department

didn't Asscraft recuse himself (at least in public statements) from 'the enron case' because he had taken contributions from them?

the media just stopped covering Ken Lay, didn't they?

and, as a by-product ... California now has Ahh-nold ...
