Enron’s Tangled Web
Against my better judgement, and against the view of five out of five dentists, I’ll be grinding my teeth through the Annual Report to Congress tonite.
Just a moment ago, on NPR, however, I heard something that makes my back straighten.
Apparently, the wizards at Enron were taping all of their phone comunication, and failed (miserably) to erase any of this evidence. The fact that these calls are so damning, and that the audio, EVEN THE AUDIO, – still exists points to their hubris as well as stupidity. The latter makes this all less than tragic.
This is all thanks to the Snohomish County Public Utilities District in Washington State, which is fighting to get the truth out.
I’ll post some of the choice bits of the audio, later, when I am back on the PBook. For now, here’s a link to a pdf of one of the conversations, wherein a California Enrgy producer agrees to shut down “off the books” to keep the crisis going.
