Molly Ivins has some recent thoughts on Enron and Bush. I recall that Enron
was or is involved in some 'activities' in West Papua New Guinea and the
South Pacific.
"-- Enron influenced public policy time and again while Bush was governor
here, including the infamous "grandfathered plants" deal. In 1997, Lay asked
Bush to contact every member of the Texas delegation to explain how "export
credit agencies of the United States are critical to U.S. developers like
Enron, pursuing international projects in developing countries." These
agencies provide political risk coverage and financial support to U.S.
companies abroad. It's called corporate welfare. "

It may be interesting to review and analyze what Enron has been doing in
these 'international projects' in developining countries.
