Reply #8: Is this a set up? [View All]

To accomplish is the eastern US what they (the corporate energy companies) couldn't get in CA?

Among other publicly aggressive efforts to shore up Enron, Cheney threatened that states might have land seized under eminent domain to provide right of ways for power grids (sought by Enron.) Secretary O'Neill (who on February 7th sobbed under withering questioning by Senator Robert Byrd, and bizarrely claimed he was born into a ditch) fought tougher offshore banking regulations (which would have limited Enron's offshore corporate scams). The Secretary of the Army, the former head of one of Enron's "troubled" divisions, was urging the privatization of utilities for the army, with you-know-who as the likely contract recipient. Dick Cheney tried to assist Enron in getting out of a jam involving an India power station. Cheney and the White House stridently adopted Enron's position that no price caps be imposed during California's energy crisis. Well, the list goes on and on.
