It's all about "discovery"
[Read the article: George Bush told the truth yesterday]

I'd say the main reason that the media is ignoring this part of the telecom story is because they don't understand the legal 'discovery' process.
The media sees trials and press conferences about jury verdicts. That's it. They don't see all the discovery depositions and interrogatories, the real dirty work of the legal world. This is where the material Mr. Greenwald is talking about is developed -- under oath.
A couple well crafted Requests for Admissions in a case against some of these companies could be devastating to current white house occupants.

It's simple; like he says. Capital reserves required! For all these weird financial deals that no normal person can understand anyway That's it. Just like the Fed requires for banks.
If I understand correctly, Greenspan actually had the legal authority to stop this kind of gambling if he wanted. But he didn't.
