A Coming Indictment Against Ken Lay of Enron? Really?

That seems to be what these folks are saying. Bush might be desperate enough to allow it, although Lay certainly has some bombshells he may be able to lay before Election Day. Thus, I don't expect too much in this department - perhaps an initial hard line followed perhaps by Ken vacationing... er... doing time in a lush resort in Acapulco for 3-6 months.

Bottom line: Lay could tell us a LOT about the energy initiative developed in secret between Cheney and Big Energy, as well as the fall of Gray Davis in California and the suddent rise of The Arnold, along with just how much time Kenny Boy spent at the White House advising our leader. None of these things would sit well with many Americans who paid prices for the collapse of Enron. So Bush is going to dig a nice large hole for Kenny to let him back out of any prison cell Kenny happens to land in.
