As far as what crimes he should be charged with- I leave that up to the more knowledgeable legally and financially. However, surely driving a 100 billion company into the ground using falsified documents etc merits at least a misdemeanor, say jaywalking. I am not particularly worried about people who put all their money into Enron stock, but Enron's bankruptcy hurt everyone in this country. Nonstock-owners were hurt as well, because some of this money would have been used to purchase their goods and services and employ them.
What does bush have to do with it? Ken Lay contributed enough to bush and apparently it was enough for a "get out of jail free" card. Plenty of other white collar criminals are being charged and prosecuted, but mysteriously Ken Lay is not. Actually, RICO would be fitting, as there really isn't that much difference between him and the mob.
