The Enron Tapes


The Enron Tapes 06/03/2004 01:33 PM

In the annals of corporate corruption, the words of the Enron Energy traders who chortled (CBS) over the screwing their company was giving California and other western states in the 2000 energy crisis are amazing mostly for their brazen quality. Still, if California's political leaders -- from both parties -- hadn't made such a mess of deregulation, the crooks from Enron and other companies never would have had the opportunity in the first place. That doesn't excuse them, any more than a burglar is excused for entering a residence where the owner forgets to lock all the doors. Someday we'll know who Cheney's energy buddies were -- the ones he's trying so hard to shield from the public. The only surprise will be if Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling aren't among them.
