Throw in the 911 shit, and that brings us to where we are now.

Hmmm I wonder how many of the current cabinet have ties with Enron, Worldcom, etc...
Cheney ran Haliburton. Which traded illegally with Iraq. Whitman owns stock in every major chemical corporation in America... and runs the EPA.
Quote:
* Donald Rumsfeld, secretary of defense, filed a financial disclosure
report 78 pages long, describing total assets worth between $61 million
and $242 million. Rumsfeld's Pentagon is stuffed with corporate
executives. He appointed corporate executives to be the secretary of the
Navy (Gordon England, from General Dynamics); Secretary of the Air Force
(James Roche, from Northrup Grumman), and Secretary of the Army (Thomas
White, from Enron). For spin he appointed Victoria Clarke, general
manager of the Washington office of Hill & Knowlton, now assistant
secretary of defense for public affairs.
* Rod Paige, Secretary of Education. As superintendent of Houston's
public schools he cut a deal to put Coke machines in the school hallways
and brought in Channel One.
* Ann Veneman, Secretary of Agriculture once said "we simply will not be
able to feed the world without biotechnology." Not surprising, coming
from someone who helped negotiate the agricultural portions of the GATT
agreement and who was once on the board of Calgene (now a Monsanto
subsidiary), the company that made the first (and first to fail)
genetically-engineered product: Flavr Savr tomatoes (tomatoes with
flounder genes).
* Colin Powell, Secretary of State. Powell earned $7.7 million in
speaking fees in 2000 for 108 speeches. Until recently, he was on the
board of America Online...whose activities will now be regulated by his
son ...
