1. Here's your chance to learn from Enron's top executive

George Bush and Ken Lay are Close and Personal Friends

The larger story, the story that will be ignored, is the link between Bush and Lay. If President Clinton had built such a relationship with someone in Lay's position, the corporate media would have howled in outrage. But their idea of news was a $60 million Republican peep show starring the First Penis. When their own guy gets into bed with a company that jokes about ripping off "those poor grandmothers in California" it's not news.

From "The Smoking Gun" website:

"While the White House has repeatedly described former Enron chairman Kenneth Lay as simply a "supporter" of George W. Bush, extensive correspondence between the two men paints a far cozier picture of their relationship...The Bush-Lay material touches on both personal matters (birthday greetings and Bush's knee surgery) and public concerns of Lay and Enron, such as energy legislation and tort reform, and reflects the kind of jocular relationship that reportedly saw the nickname-happy Bush call the Enron boss "Kenny Boy."

Former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay Faces Houston 'Perp Walk'


By Mary Flood
07/08/04 11:05 AM PT

Prosecutors say the public display of Enron defendants in handcuffs is so minimal that they wouldn't call it a perp walk. But cameras will still click away, and the images of the executive in cuffs will be all over television news and the morning papers. And defense attorneys will call it an outrage.

"There's no real benefit to the public, no legal purpose. It's just a throwback to the Puritan days, like public humiliation in the town square," said Joel Androphy, a Houston defense lawyer. "Years ago you could get around this." Androphy said.


Defense lawyers say the photos taint the process.


"These people are presumed innocent, but that photo will be shown over and over again," defense lawyer Androphy said.

15. Great catch! Lets review this a little

Bush's new lawyer harbors secretive, criminal past

The cult of secrecy surrounding President Bush’s newly retained lawyer in the Valerie Plame CIA leak case is so strong that the White House refuses even to confirm who the president’s lawyer is.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters June 3 that the lawyer’s name was Jim Sharp, but refused even to confirm whether he is James E. Sharp, a Washington attorney.

... The only other president to hire a private attorney for acts committed while president, Richard Nixon, eventually resigned from office.

Sharp long has cloaked himself in secrecy, even taking the unusual move of paying to have his address and telephone number removed from the major Martindale legal directory.

This action by Bush is a rather stunning and extraordinary development. The President of the United States is potentially hiring a private criminal defense lawyer. Unsurprisingly, the White House is doing all it can to bury the story, providing precious little detail or context for the President's action…

The Bush attorney background:

He began practicing law in Navy JAG and also served as assistant US District Attorney for the District of Columbia. In about four decades of law practice, he has represented Richard Nixon friend Bebe Rebozo, Nixon advisor Jeb Stuart McGruder during the Watergate scandal, and Gen. Richard V. Secord during Iran-Contra. Sharp has also numbered former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay and author Clifford Irving among his clients. Maybe that's where the estate planning comes in. Despite the list of well-known Republican clients, his political donations go mostly to Democrats, including the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry.

Who is James Sharp and why is George W. Bush talking to him?

June 14, 2004—The White House revealed recently that George W. Bush has spoken with a private attorney about the criminal probe into the leak of an undercover CIA operative's name.

White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said Bush would probably retain attorney Jim Sharp of Washington D.C., if he thinks he needs the lawyer's advice while a Federal grand jury investigates the leak of the name of Valerie Plame as a CIA covert operative. Bush is not believed to be a target of the probe, but he anticipates being questioned about the leak.

Plame was identified as CIA by veteran Washington journalist Robert Novak. He said her name was leaked to him by two senior administration officials. Plame is the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson.

In February 2002, Wilson went to Niger to investigate the claim that Niger sold yellowcake uranium to Iraq. Wilson found no credible evidence of such a sale. Documents concerning such a sale were crude forgeries. Nevertheless, on January 29, 2003, in his State of the Union Address, George W. Bush said, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." Wilson believes that the leak concerning his wife was retaliation for his unwillingness to back the White House's Niger-Iraq claims.

Enron in India: The Dabhol Disaster

by Pratap Chatterjee, Special to CorpWatch
July 20th, 2000

Just before dawn on June 3, 1997, police officers forcibly entered the homes of several women in Veldur, a fishing village in western India, dragging them into waiting police vans and beating them with sticks. The only "crime" committed by these women was to lead a peaceful protest against the environmental impact of a massive new natural-gas plant being built near Veldur by Enron.

Enron began work on the 2,015 megawatt Dabhol plant in early 1995 with the help of Bechtel and General Electric at an estimated cost of $2.8 billion. That year the company began clearing ground 100 miles south of Bombay on several hundred acres of porous red rock and shrub-covered hills that make up a volcanic outcrop overlooking the Arabian Sea.

According to Amnesty International, one of the women who was arrested in 1997 was Sugandha Vasudev Bhalekar, a 24-year-old housewife whose husband Baba Bhalekar, was a known leader of the protests. At the time of the arrest she was three months pregnant. She testified to the Judicial Magistrate:

"At around 5 in the morning, when I was in the bathroom, several male police with batons in their hands forcibly entered the house and started beating members of family who were asleep.... Being terrified, I told them from inside the bathroom that I was taking a bath and that I would come out after wearing my clothes. I asked them to call for women police in the meantime and to ask them to wait near the door.
