Yet another story about the wedge the DOJ is driving between companies and their officers/directors. This bears close watching over the next few years. I understand why Enron and WorldCom are prompting new enforcement tactics.

As I've commented before, we also don't want corporate agents to view corporate attorneys with distrust.
