Ken Lay, George Bush, and Karimov: The Frat Brother Regime

Not only is the Bush administration making nice with the despots in Uzbekistan these days, but even when George Bush was a lowly governor he reached out to Karimov's torturous regime. How do I know?

Ken Lay says so, in a letter to his friend "George".

Read more from Europhobia. Been a while since I've seen that familiar Enron "E". Like, since right around the beginning of the Bush administration.

Out with the old, in with the new. Or something like that.
