#1 Club Gitmo would be a 'good thing'.

#2 They should have cuffed the SOB and sent him directly top the holding tank. He's as much of a flight risk as any dope pusher.

#3 Spot-on, Mrs D. And speaking of flight risks, I'll bet Ken Lay started packing the minute this hit the wires...

#4 This makes me very happy. This SOB represents the worst of corporate America. He and his ilk need to be put away. They will serve as a very clear reminder to those who think that they too, have to "hit the numbers". Having your O-ring resized courtesey of a diseased prison gang member is a powerful deterrent to white collar crime.

Lemmee see : BORN 1941 = Age 64

64+85=149...Probable state when released in 2090.

#6 Remoteman, Where he's going they don't send Butch. But I hope the judge is so P. O.'ed about his perjury he gives him the max and Ebbers dies in jail of natural causes.

#7 Now, they just need to put away the Enron chairman.

What's that, you say? He's a Bush buddy, and will likely live out the rest of his life in luxury?

#8 Don't bet on it.

#9 Gromky - you're so in touch with most of the world - so out of it on this. Ken Lay is going down, big time. Previous Bush connections were pre-indictment and exposure of misdoings. Once they were exposed - all was off.

#10 Gromky, when Enron collapsed, an official of which administration contacted the SEC (or was it FTC) to try to pull their asses out of the fire?

If you said "Clinton administration", you've got it right! Any other answer is dead wrong -- the Bush administration is the one that exposed and prosecuted the fraud!

#11 it was Robert Rubin they contacted
