I certainly have no preconceived notions regarding Enron.

The driving factor is indeed the Enron story.

Ken Lay has, does and will continue to accept responsibility for the bankruptcy of Enron. He was the man in control at the time the company failed. But failure is not a crime. Bankruptcy is not a crime.

Enron got in trouble with too much debt. Investors and analysts didn't realize how much debt they had because it was hidden.

Yes! Finally captured Martha Stewart. You know, with all the massive and almost completely unpunished fraud perpetrated on the American public by such companies as Enron, Global Crossing, Tyco and Adelphia, we finally got the ringleader. Maybe now we can lower the nation's terror alert to periwinkle.

There are thousands of companies that are honestly run, but ... Enron has spilled over into other companies. I think Enron is unique, but the worry is still there.
