"Clinton did recognize that Al Quaeda was a new type of, and significant, threat."

Track down what Bob Kerrey said about that in the hearings today. It's fair to say Kerrey doesn't think the US understood what kind of threat Al Qaeda was during the Clinton administration.

At last count, 28 of the key players at Enron have indicted. Jeff Skilling, the lastest to be indicted, was in the news the other day when the police picked him up for acting erratically. Ken Lay's the only officer I know of that hasn't been touched yet, but it's only a matter of time. It is hard for something that happened in 2001 to remain a headline this many years later. Most of the actual crimes were committed in the late 90s after all.

Actually the other half dozen or so corporate scandals similar to Enron are more interesting than this case. Global Crossing, Worldcom, Rite Aid, Computer Associates, Dynergy, Healthsouth, Imclone, someone was asleep at the wheel when those guys were fixing their books from about 1996 on.
