This was supposed to be part of CHENEY-ENRON-BUSH_BINLADIN 101 posted on July 3rd. For some reason only the first 2 paragraphs came through. Sorry!
Ah Ha! I just found out why!
When I just tried to post it again I got a message saying it is too long. So I will follow with a part two.
The following extract gives more information about the FinCEN's investigation of Bush's Harken Energy company and Binladin.

"We saw in
GLOBALIST TERRORIST HEADQUARTERS: OUR WHITE HOUSE?
http://www.rumormillnews.net/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=11809
the past connection of W. Bush through his company Arbusto and Harken to the Binladin business back in the late ‘80s & early ‘90s. In fact, this was investigated by the FinCEN in ’92.
Another paper further details:
“According to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission records, on four separate occasions Gov. George W. Bush disregarded federal statutes by failing to file insider stock trade reports on a timely basis, back-dating one trade by some four months. Moreover, one key trade just a few weeks before Iraq invaded Kuwait -- but reported some eight months late after the Gulf War was over -- netted Bush close to $1 million in profit as he sold stock in Harken Energy, an oil company doing business in the Middle East wherein some of his father's largest contributors also maintained substantial positions.”

ENRON: FOUL PLAYER IN THE BUSH ENERGY EMPIRE
Posted By: Phoenix
Date: Thursday, 25 October 2001, 9:19 a.m.
The Enron connection is most interesting, especially between Bush, Cheney and Osama Bin Laden.
These are just a few examples of some of Enron’s foul plays since riding into the White House on the coat tails of some of it’s more prominent front men; Bush, Cheney and Phil Gramm.
Follows is a partial list of Enron’s foul plays:
1. Kenneth Lay, Enron’s CEO was just released of criminal and ethics charges by the GAO stemming from a phone call with the ex-FERC chairman, Curt Hebert, who accused him of trying to change his position on a key Commission policy issue in exchange for his endorsing Hebert to continue on as chairman.
Article follows for you will not be able to access it without being a subscriber:
NGI's Daily Gas Price Index
published : September 21, 2001
Ex-FERC Head, Enron Chairman Cleared of Criminal, Ethics Violations
The General Accounting Office (GAO) has cleared former FERC Chairman Curt Hebert and Enron Corp. Chairman Kenneth Lay of any criminal charges and ethics violations stemming from a telephone conversation between the two men last February in which Hebert claimed Lay asked him to change his position on a key Commission policy issue in exchange for his endorsing Hebert to continue on as chairman.
"We found no evidence that applicable federal statutes or ethics regulations were violated. There is no evidence that the chairman [in seeking Lay's endorsement] attempted to use his public office for private gain, acted other than impartially, or offered preferential treatment to Mr. Lay and Enron. Likewise, there is no evidence that Mr. Lay offered a thing of value to Mr. Hebert," the GAO said in a letter to Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), chairman of the Governmental Affairs Committee. Hebert stepped down as FERC chairman in late September when President Bush appointed close friend and former Texas regulator Pat Wood III to head up the Commission.
Leiberman asked the GAO to undertake an investigation after the The New York Times last May reported the telephone call between Hebert and Lay.
During the probe, the agency said both men agreed that a telephone conversation occurred in February 2001, that Lay asked Hebert about his views on what FERC's policy should be on access to the electricity grid, and that they did not discuss any matters relating to pending cases before the Commission involving Enron.
But Hebert and Lay differed in their interpretations of the telephone call, according to GAO. "Mr. Hebert believes that Mr. Lay was attempting to tie his support for [Hebert] continuing as chairman to a change in [Hebert's] position on this policy issue." But Lay denied there was any quid pro quo involved. Lay contends that since Hebert "was pressing him for an endorsement," he simply "took the opportunity to ask him [Hebert] about his position on access, an issue that he and Mr. Hebert did not agree on."
The GAO cleared Hebert and Lay of potentially violating: 1) a federal bribery statute, which makes it a crime to "give, offer or promise" anything of value with the "intent to influence any official act;" 2) a federal law that makes it a crime for any public official to "demand, seek, receive, accept or agree to receive" anything of value in exchange for being "influenced in performing any official act;" and 3) a federal statute that makes it a crime to "solicit or receive any money or thing of value" in an attempt to obtain public office.
"Regardless of who initiated the discussion concerning open access, it does not appear that any of the criminal statutes...were violated," said the GAO. "All three statutes require that money or a 'thing of value' be offered or solicited in return for something else," it noted. "Although the courts interpret the term 'thing of value' broadly to include both tangibles and intangibles, our review of case law found no support for the proposition that mere political support may be considered a thing of value for purposes of the relevant criminal statutes."
Moreover, "the offer of a thing of value must be tied to an expectation of a corresponding action by the other party. That is, there must be an expected quid pro quo...Here, there is no evidence that such an exchange was contemplated," the GAO concluded.
Nor, the agency said was there evidence that Hebert violated federal government ethics regulations, which bar employees from soliciting or accepting any gift or items of monetary value from a person or entity seeking to influence official action. Lastly, it found that the telephone conversation between Hebert and Lay did not violate FERC regulations banning off-the-record communications that could affect the outcome or influence a decision in an on-the-record proceeding.

2. Enron facing contempt of court charges for not releasing documents concerning the California “Energy Crisis”.
OK, looks like I’ll have to transfer this article as well for it doesn’t appear to be accessible at the moment:
Judge says Enron has to give up documents
By Emily Bazar
Bee Capitol Bureau
(Published Sept. 7, 2001)
Enron Corp. must turn over sensitive internal documents to state legislators, a Sacramento judge ruled Thursday, but only after the two sides agree to a court-approved confidentiality agreement.
For months, a special Senate committee investigating electricity price manipulation has been issuing subpoenas and gathering documents from power generators and marketers.
During the process, the committee has found three companies in contempt for resisting the subpoenas, including Enron, which fought back with a lawsuit asking the court to intervene on its behalf.
In his ruling stemming from the suit, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Charles Kobayashi said he wasn't convinced that "the Senate committee will be able to maintain the petitioner's right to confidentiality." As a result, he ruled, those documents handed over by Enron that contain legitimate trade secrets must be protected by a confidentiality agreement.
In his ruling on another Enron motion, however, he denied the company's request to quash the committee's subpoena.
Still, Enron officials considered the judge's findings on the whole a victory.
"We had no certainty that anything we handed over to the Senate would remain confidential," said Enron spokeswoman Karen Denne. "We were not receiving due process from Senator (Joe) Dunn's committee. They were acting as judge and jury on this issue."
Dunn, D-Santa Ana, who is the committee chairman, said he "respectfully disagrees" with the judge's decision on the confidentiality agreement, which he said will be reviewed in the next few days by the Legislature's lawyers to determine whether an appeal should be pursued.
Another Enron motion seeking an injunction against the committee will be heard in court next week.
Enron is one of three companies that have been found in contempt by the committee.
However, the committee purged its contempt finding against Mirant in July after the company complied with the committee's requests.
The committee was poised to expunge its contempt finding against Reliant Energy Inc. on Thursday as well but couldn't draw enough senators for a vote. Dunn delayed the action until the next meeting.
As for the contempt charge facing Enron, the Senate Rules Committee is scheduled to review the findings Monday and possibly make a recommendation to the full Senate.
Should the full Senate also find Enron in contempt, it would determine what punishments, if any, would be levied. Dunn said he believes fines would be the most appropriate punishment.

By the way, the full extent of Enron’s influence is not known because W. Bush is still ignoring a demand from the General Accounting Office for the names of lobbyists and business executives the Bush administration met with in formulating its energy plan.
I’ll copy this article as well because you won’t be able to access it if you’re not a WSJ subscriber:

White House Ignores GAO DeadlineTo Name Energy Meeting Participants
Associated PressWASHINGTON -- Setting the stage for what would be an unprecedented court battle, the White House refused to respond Thursday to a General Accounting Office demand for the names of lobbyists and business executives the Bush administration met with in formulating its energy plan.The GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, could ratchet up the dispute that began April 17 by going to federal court to seek an order for the White House to surrender the information."We remain confident of the strength and persuasiveness of our position," said White House spokeswoman Anne Womack. "The matter could end right now, but that of course is up to the GAO's comptroller general." Ms. Womack said the White House is focused on securing energy legislation, which passed the House and is headed for the Senate floor.At the heart of the 3 1/2-month-old fight is how much influence corporate America had in the work of Vice President Dick Cheney's task force. The panel announced a plan May 17 aimed at increasing the nation's supply of energy. It includes expanded oil and gas drilling on public land and a rejuvenated nuclear power system.Environmental groups have complained that the Bush White House shut them out of the information-gathering process on the energy plan."I'm disappointed that President Bush and Vice President Cheney have refused to respond to this reasonable and routine request," said Rep. Henry Waxman, the ranking Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee.The vice president's lawyer has told the GAO only that there were nine meetings of the energy task force and that staffers also met with many people to gather data.There is "a serious argument that the president has a constitutional prerogative to seek advice" without giving away the names of the advice givers, said University of Michigan law professor Steven Croley, who specializes in administrative law.But "the other question is about good public policy or desirable practices for a democracy," Mr. Croley added. "There we would tend to want openness, at the very least the identity of who the president or the vice president was talking to."The Bush White House could have blocked any court action and ended the dispute by filing a letter of certification stating that releasing the information would "substantially impair" government operations.But the administration this week signaled that it would not file a certification, reiterating its position that GAO Comptroller General David Walker "has exceeded his lawful authority and the statute under which GAO is operating does not apply in this instance."The GAO has forced a showdown with the executive branch in disputes over gathering information just four other times in the past 21 years. In two of those instances, the administration supplied the information. In the other two, the administration filed certification letters. One of the disputes in the certification category involved Mr. Cheney while he was defense secretary

BACK TO ENRON SPECIFICALLY:
3. Bush’s top energy strategist, Karl Rove was found to still own Enron stock while formulating energy policy.
Well, it seems this article can no longer be accessed either, maybe in this case it’s just my computer, I don’t know; but for completeness here it is:

White House Acknowledges Rove Participated in Energy Meetings
By Pete Yost
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House acknowledged Friday that top Bush strategist Karl Rove participated in meetings on the administration's energy policy while he owned stock in energy companies such as Texas-based Enron Corp.
In a letter responding to congressional inquiries, White House counsel Alberto Gonzales said "general policy discussions" fall outside the scope of federal ethics rules that bar an official from participating in a matter in which he has a financial interest.
"The formulation of national energy policy is a classic example of the sort of broad policy discussion that is expressly excluded from regulatory coverage," wrote the White House counsel.
Providing no specifics, Gonzales stated that Rove "did participate in a number of ... meetings at which the contours of the administration's energy policy were discussed." But Gonzales said that Rove was not a member of Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force, which formulated energy policy, and that Rove did not attend any of the task force meetings.
On a separate issue, the White House counsel said that Rove had only "passing contact" with a proposed high-tech merger that Intel Corp.'s chief executive and two Intel lobbyists pushed for in a March 12 meeting with Rove.
"Mr. Rove was noncommittal and offered no substantive response" to the Intel executive's remarks, wrote Gonzales.
An interagency government panel with which Gonzales said Rove "played no part" approved the merger less than two months after Rove met with the Intel executives.
Rep. Henry Waxman, the ranking Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee, asked about Rove's meetings after the disclosure this month that he owned stock in an array of companies with interests before the Bush administration.
Phil Schilero, the congressional panel's minority staff director, said Gonzales' letter fails to provide dates of the meetings, who attended, the subjects discussed or Rove's recollection of any views he expressed.
"We appreciate the good-faith effort to provide a response ... but we didn't ask for conclusions; we asked for specific information," said Schilero. The White House counsel concluded Rove violated no ethics rules.
Rove did not seek a waiver that would have enabled him to participate in particular matters despite his stock holdings. Gonzales said Rove did not need a waiver because he "took care to avoid" participating in any matter at the White House that would affect his financial interests.
On June 7, Rove sold his Enron stock for $68,200 and his stock in General Electric for $79,700. In all, Rove sold $1.5 million in stocks that day in nearly two dozen companies in sectors including high-tech, financial and pharmaceutical.

4. Other Bush energy advisers were also found to have Enron stock:
“At least three top White House advisers involved in drafting President Bush's energy strategy held stock in the Enron Corp. or earned fees from the large Texas-based energy trading company, which lobbied aggressively to shape the administration's approach to energy issues. Karl Rove, Bush's chief political strategist; Lawrence B. Lindsey, the top economic coordinator; and I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, all said in financial disclosure statement released on Friday that they already had or intended to divest themselves of holdings in Enron, the nation's leading trader and marketer of electricity and natural gas, as well as holdings in other energy companies.”

5. Now I’ve saved the best for last!
Enron had some of it’s major pipeline projects done by Bredaro-Shaw, a partner of The Binladen company!
Bredaro-Shaw is a Halliburton company.
Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton until he became the VP.
