I haven't been able to find a single comment about Gray Davis's Op-Ed in Saturday's New York Times from any of the usual suspects. Did I miss something? It sounds like he's talking to them:
This week the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released internal memos it had obtained from Enron detailing an edifice of corrupt practices Enron
used to profit from artificial shortages it created in the California energy market.
More than a year ago, we in California stood virtually alone when we charged that Enron and possibly others were ripping off California consumers. The
energy industry scoffed, saying the charge was paranoid. "Get used to it," they said. "That's the way the deregulated market is supposed to work."
Now, after billions of dollars of damage to California's economy, the truth is out. These memos amount to a confession by Enron of its efforts to exploit the
system. Residential rate payers and small businesses were among the victims. More important, the memos are the first inkling that Enron's actions in
California were possibly criminal as well. Through its greed and possibly illegal manipulation, Enron did incalculable damage to California's economy and to
the national economy.
