Ken Lay, DEAD.

Quote from ssternlight:

If I follow what you are saying I think this is incorrect. The purpose of putting Ken Lay in jail is to deter others in the future.

Also, his death robs his victims of the satisfaction that he is personally paying the price for his actions.

If one of the President's best friends spends the rest of his life in the clink that is a sign the system is working -- as opposed to Scooter being given a pardon sometime in the near future for example.

Just my $.02.

Curious as to why you use some imaginary scenario like Scooter Libby, rather than a real scenario like Clinton actually pardoning Mark Rich.
 
Well Marc Rich has not done high crimes such as these corrupt scumbags you are defending, the worst thing Marc Rich did was to ignore the mafia (US Gov) conducted business with Iran and failed to pay taxes (allegedly) Wow! maybe we should just hang him without a trial?
in fact he was never convicted in any court of US since he rather live in Switzerland. (actually so would I if I could afford the bills)

Aren't the founding fathers celebrated as heroes for doing the exact same thing? Compared to today's intrusive nanny-state government, the 18th century Brits weren't really all that bad...
 
Quote from Dogballoon:

Wee Man strikes me as the kind of guy who trades for the masculine image and blows his account when he loses his temper.

I can understand people being polite in the face of death, but there has to be psychological issues at work for someone to defend systematic and criminal fraud that passes itself off under the cloak of good business. They spat in the face of the principles that made this country so effective and powerful.

Point is, he was more of a scapegoat than criminal.

Insurance does not pay out on suicide.... so you kill yourself with some medicine that looks like a heart attack and your family gets paid on that huge life insurance policy :D. If you suffer a heart attack it is not like they perform an autopsy ;)

Insurance will pay out on suicide after a two year incontestibility period.
