Bush's Insider Trading
http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/030904A.shtmlTruthout:Editors Note: Martha Stewart may be heading to prison because she sold stock after learning that a company was failing for a reason that was out of her and other company officials control. Martha Stewarts Company was playing by the rules, a product they invested a lot of money in failed to be certified as safe by the Government so they knew the stock would fall. If the following allegations are true, George Bush's profit was due to underhanded accounting practices inflating the value of the stock, before selling at a huge profit. Who should be in jail? Martha Stewart for selling before her stock tanked for legitimate reasons? Or George Bush for profiting from selling stock that's value was inflated by Enron style accounting practices? --smg
