Former Enron exec asserts ignorance of dealings
Former Enron chief executive Jeffrey Skilling tells a congressional panel he knew nothing of self-dealing and accounting schemes. Lawmakers doubt his dark view given partnerships used to conceal losses and enrich executives. Fastow and Kopper invoked the Fifth Amendment. Bay and Causey also refused to testify. Enron filed for bankruptcy Dec. 2, wiping out investor and employee retirement savings and triggering federal scrutiny.

Bush Says Geneva Convention Applies to Taliban Detainees
President Bush said the Geneva Convention applies to Taliban prisoners but not as POWs, aiming to shield future U.S. troops. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld called it a potential precedent while officials stressed Taliban fighters do not qualify for POW status. Guantanamo Bay received 28 new detainees as the administration maintained humane treatment and rejected stipends or POW-like benefits.
