> SUMMONING UP contemptuous rage at the Enron hearings last Thursday,
> Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) declared, "When the corporate insiders at
> Enron realized the ship was sinking, they grabbed the lifeboats and
> left the women and children, their workers and investors, to drown."
> But this scandal is actually much worse than that. The bad guys did
> not merely grab lifeboats; they deliberately created the leaks that
> brought the ship of Enron down. What's more, the bad guys included not
> just Enron executives and Arthur Andersen's accountants but also, to a
> different degree, many of Mr. Durbin's own colleagues in Congress.
