British banker who gave a statement in the Enron case found dead.
It's being investigated as a suspicious death. There's no indication that he was involved in wrongdoing, but he may have been in a position to help investigators. *Cue X-Files music*

Wow, it's in the news. They must be slipping up.
The bigger noise here on that story is the outrage about the new extradition deal that went one-way.
The 3 british bankers alleged to have dipped their hands into the enron pot are subject of interest to the US judicial system.
Snag is, they are accused of committing a crime in UK, and the US don't have any prima-facie evidence. Under existing extradition laws, US couldn't extradite them to stand trial across the pond.
So. . . Tuscany Tone and Babbling Bush agreed to pass new laws allowing extradition without prima facie evidence.
We duly passed the law (so our dodgy bankers are off to the land of the free tomorrow to sample the oatmeal and shower-antics).
Snag is, USA has now failed to ratify their side of the deal.
Can we rename the "Special Relationship" as the "Shortbus Deal"?

Haha, suckers! You really thought we'd reciprocate?

Hmm, I thought it was a bad thing to pass a law that makes something illegal after the fact?

Yeah, me too. How'd that work?

According to Nob, the new laws didn't make something illegal, they just loosened the extradition requirements.
LMFAO
Just seen a copy of the legal bill that was approved by our parliament, and the spelling is Americanese! ("Offense" instead of "offence" etc.)
Maybe Bliar isn't Dubya's poodle. Looks like he's his dancin monkey!

Ya it seems to be a trend of the Bush team to advocate for action without bothering with evidence, under the guise of terrorism. Of course they don't bother restircting the law to only suspects of terrorism.
People are going to look back at this period of US history and wonder how we ever could have been so stupid.
You mean the way we all stand around the fireplace sipping brandy and yukking it up about the Teapot Dome scandal?

Could be just the law of averages. Lots of people and corporations have crap all over them from Enron. (By the way, lots of people could have blown the whistle on Enron.) Lots of them are questioned. The investigation drags on for years - one of the array of suspects die. Anyone know an estimate of how many have been questioned? (Actually, at a minimum their ages would be needed to make any stab at an estimate of how many should pass away; gender and nationality would help).
I doubt it is more suspicious then, say, Paul Wellstone's death.
