Thom Hartmann (Listen Now) asks:

Is Ken Lay the proverbial "Man who knew too much?"

He compares Lay to William Casey, who two days before he was scheduled to testify, was rushed to surgery where they removed the portion of his brain that controls the tongue (Brocas region).
Was kenny boy talking to prosecutors? Lay had met with arnold Swartnegger at a beverly Hills hotel, right before the rolling blackouts here in California, before Arnie was elected.

Quote:
Gary Sick alleged that Casey orchestrated a deal in 1980 with Iran to refrain from releasing the hostages until after the November presidential elections, in order to deny President Carter credit for their possible release. This came to be known as the "October Surprise." Congress investigated in 1992, but Casey's role was never thoroughly ascertained since he did not testify, as he had died in 1987. Therefore the "October Surprise" has never been proven. The congressional inquires as well as the majority of investigative reports found the charges to be without merit.

DCI William Casey dies of a brain tumor a mere two days before he is to give testimony for the Iran-Contra scandal, Mayknoll, MD. He had received a craniotomy. Dodged that one!
