...billion collapse of energy giant Enron are spreading to the White House. Enron CEO Kenneth Lay, Bush's biggest donor, has many ties to Bush officials. Economic adviser Lawrence Lindsey and trade negotiator Robert Zoellick were once on the Enron payroll, and others, like political adviser Karl Rove, held sizable chunks of Enron stock. Now questions are being raised about the role Lay may have had in the energy task force overseen by Vice President Dick Cheney, which deliberated in secret and made policy proposals seen as friendly to industry.

After Cheney's Meet the Press performance, word leaked that Bush advisers Karen Hughes and Karl Rove thought he had been too good--that he had seemed too fully in charge. Both have denied trying to rein him in, but after that, Cheney faded from public view, while retaining his powerful bond with Bush. (Hughes and Rove, however, no longer take part in the President's weightiest deliberations, because they're not part of his national-security team.) Cheney is the heart of that team--he's the swing...
