...it was very well done and extremely effective in showing what went on inside the company. It appears to be a pretty accurate account according to all of the things I have read. Very interesting.

Are there lessons here regarding ethics, greed and regulation of big businesses? No doubt.

That the Enron folks were involved with this adminstration as the largest contributor and the advisors on energy policy is just a coincidence - it could be any anti-regulatory, pro-business Republican administration.

There is no comparison to Michael Moore here. He takes some small facts and exaggerates them for effect. And some things that aren't facts as well. I find his films entertaining and humorous, but clearly over the line into propaganda pushing a point of view rather than factual reporting.

Not the case here - highly recommended.
