pResidential pardons for Skilling and Enron "team"???
Supposedly the groundwork is being laid for a pResidential pardon for Enron Executives in the event Dubya is not reelected. Before Dubya leaves office, look for a "compassionate" pardon for Skilling and his cronies.

Odds are Cheney will offer him a job... yawanna bet?

1. We Need to EstablishThe Links Between Bush and Enron
It may prove harder for him to pardon a co-defendant......

2. It won't stop him.
He'll pardon them anyway. Just like his father did the Iran-Contra criminals to prevent any investigation of him.

6. Oh my.
Pardons. I thought pardons followed an unfair CONVICTION. To pardon beforehand stinks of GUILT. However,there is a family tradition that disowns the troublesome useless. Place your bets.
