I sent the following to trusted MSM contacts, regarding what can be done if the IPO is pushed through, stubbornly, by BushCo.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In response to some inquiries I have received: should injunctive relief not be forthcoming to prevent the spinoff, then a shareholder derivative lawsuit would still be available after the fact, to seek appropriate recovery and relief from BakerBotts LLP, the underwriters, and/or the analysts who put their institutions' interests ahead of the investing public's.

You may quote me on that.

(not to be confused, ever again, with David R. Smith, the as-yet-unindicted VP of Tax at Halliburton, my former employer)

P.S. Ask Ms. Mann whether the money used to pay the foreign bribes had been taxed properly under U.S. law, and why David R. Smith and the Tax Group he heads were looped in on the mis-directed e-mails I received. Why would a company like Halliburton pay criminal bribes with clean money?
