Salon.com: Deregulation’s big lie – Interview with Robert McChesney
One of the things Powell insinuated is that more telecom companies might be coming out with these accounting irregularities.

If they played by the rules, these guys would be paupers, Ken Lay wouldn’t even talk to them as he passed them on the way to the golf course.
This is good stuff. I hear him on NPR a bunch.
