Sweet - 2/8/02 "In another stunning blow to the Archdiocese of Boston, six more active priests were suspended yesterday amid allegations of sexual misconduct with minors, bringing to eight the number of Catholic clerics jettisoned since Saturday....at least 20 names of current and former priests were delivered to Massachusetts district attorneys yesterday, according to law enforcement officials. Prior to that, the archdiocese had reported 40 names of clergy accused of past sex abuse to prosecutors or police. The archdiocese is continuing to comb its archives for additional ``substantial allegations of sexual abuse of a minor,'' church officials said, leaving open the likelihood its roster of former and current accused priests will continue to grow....the names of at least 60 accused priests have been given to law enforcement in the past 10 days. There are 930 priests in the archdiocese. http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/arch02082002.htm http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-fenron0207.story?coll= sfla-home-headlines Governor's role scrutinized as state Enron hearings begin By Mark Hollis Sun-Sentinel February 6 2002 TALLAHASSEE -- Last March, a lobbyist for Enron Corp. got the response he had been seeking from Gov. Jeb Bush. "Bill, I would love to meet with Ken [Lay]" Bush wrote on March 8 to Bill Bryant, a Tallahassee-based Enron lobbyist. A month later, Lay called Bush's private phone line in the Capitol, and the two talked for a half-hour about energy deregulation. Electronic mail documents dealing with Enron that Bush's office released Wednesday, on the eve of a House hearing into how the state lost $325 million from ill-timed investments in Enron stock, capture some of the links between Bush and Enron that critics of the governor hope to exploit. The hearing will be conducted by a special House investigative panel appointed to investigate how the state's pension fund went about buying millions of Enron shares as the energy company's stock price dropped in the wake of a federal investigation into the company's practices. The $325 million that the state lost in Enron stock made Florida's pension fund the biggest loser in the nation's biggest business collapse http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/02/08/dean.cheney.cnna/index.html Dean: 'First step' in Enron cover-up? Former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean (CNN) -- The General Accounting Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress, announced recently its intention to file suit against the White House to force it to release notes involving an energy task force headed by Vice President Dick Cheney. The fight for the notes began when the GAO requested them last summer and has heated up with the financial collapse of Enron. The White House maintains that turning over the notes would erode the ability of the executive branch to get advice in private and to deliberate matters....DEAN: Well, Paula, with all due respect to the vice president, what GAO is asking for is not the unvarnished statements of anybody to the president or the vice president. They're merely asking for who met with that committee and where they met and their names, and the name, ranks and serial number. It's not the content of the conversations even involved. So there's even a misrepresentation going on as to what's requested. Not only that, but they're denying that the GAO has authority they've had for 80 years to request this kind of information. This raises questions in my mind.....The vice president has already told the Congress that he did indeed meet with Enron, or his staff did, on at least six occasions. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
