News
Two things that might not get buried:

First, NPR and CBS Marketwatch report that an independent study of WorldCom's twisted finances reveal former CEO Bernie Ebber's complicity: “Ebbers was aware, at a minimum, that WorldCom was meeting revenue expectations through financial gimmickry”. The report could be used as a basis for charges against Ebbers.

Good. First Bernie, then Skilling and Lay.

Second, the adminstration is now being forced by the mainstream press to face up to the question of why WMDs haven't been found. Yesterday, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice; today, the President.

Both of these issues deserve a full-court press from the media. Let's see what happens.
