Talk:UK and U.S. bombing raids against Iraq increased in 2002

What was wrong with Sduffy's rewrite?
This rewrite is clear, to the point, and rather balanced. http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=UK_and_U.S._bombing_raids_against_Iraq_increased_in_2002&oldid=66754 It gets across the thesis of the 'new information' without being another opinion piece.
 * Thanks for the vote of confidence but the article as it sits now seems pretty good. The large blocks of quoted material could probably go but other than that it seems to be decent.  Sduffy 21:50, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Change of title needed
Since there was never a formal declaration of war, I am thinking that the title should be changed to say something like "... before action was authorized". This could mean authorized by UN 1441 or, in the case of the US, Congressional authorization to use force. Just having a hard time coming up with a title that works...

 * This is a good point. We tend to forget also that the '91 agreement was a ceasefire.

A title change may be necessary, but the focus of this article is on the premeditated attempt by the US and RAF to engender a hostile response from Iraq by bombing and raiding Iraqi targets in contravention of their treaties and international agreements. - Amgine/talk 20:29, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Understood. However, the term 'declaration of war' must be removed from both the title and first sentence since it is inaccurate.  Also, it must also be conveyed that, according to the terms of the prior ceasefire, US and UK forces were authorized to strike at targets within Iraq if they "posed a threat".  What is in contention here is whether the escalation of these strikes indicates intent and provocation to escalate the conflict prior to international and domestic authorization to do so. Sduffy 20:39, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * You are correct about the declaration. May I suggest "RAF and U.S. bombing raids against Iraq began before invasion"?
 * I would change "RAF and US"... Inconsistent.  "UK and US" makes more sense.  Also, the key is "increased" bombing raids.  We don't know if there was a response to a valid threat but we do know that bombing has taken place between the end of the last conflict and this one and that those were largely "authorized".  The big story here is, were the US and UK increasing attacks in anticipation of a conflict that had not yet been authorized by each nation or the UN.Sduffy 20:51, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * UK and US is good. I disagree about the "big story", but that is merely a difference in reading the article, and does not necessarily affect the title. - Amgine/talk 20:57, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned in the comment below, I think we would all be better off if this article was rewritten completely. "Declaration of war" is inaccurate and it appears in the first paragraph as well as the title, and there is too much quoted text that is unnecessary. Thoughts? Sduffy 00:38, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe you'll find the authorization to strike was limited to the no-fly zone and active threats, as opposed to attacks to degrade Iraq's military infrasturcture. The revelations this article reports is that the escalation of these strikes was a planned policy; that there was intent to provoke. It also reveals that troops invaded from Turkey well before the UNSC 1441. - Amgine/talk 20:46, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

New title suggestion
"New information suggests Allies initiated Iraq war months before action was authorized" ...or something like that. Having trouble putting something together but definitely need to remove "war was declared".

What part of this is news?
There is a lot of info here, but which part of it is news? Which of the attacks prior to the invasion weren't previously reported when they occurred?

After comparing with the times article I wonder exactly what the point is here? It looks as if we are JUST COPYING LARGE PORTIONS OF THE TIMES TEXT! Is this appropriate?

I still wish to know what is news? The memo was leaked and reported some time ago. What is the new information that the liberal democrats claim to have?

Are we just repackaging old news in the usual 'if we say it enough times it may seem new' propaganda war that's been going on for years now?

 * Agreed. There is also too much pasted text here for a news article.  References to the Downing Street Memo and Conyers' letter are appropriate but huge blocks like this are not.  Between the title and the pasted text, I think this whole article really just needs to be rewritten from scratch.  Sduffy 00:31, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Major rewrite/reworking
I reworded much of the first paragraph and removed all of the quoted text since it was unnecessary. I also removed the "Sunday Express" info relating to an invasion from Turkey. The only source I found relating this information appeared to be no more reputable than a blog. If someone can find that info in a fairly reasonable news or media outlet, then by all means, re-add it.
 * I have reverted your removal of the vast majority of the article. - Amgine/talk 04:56, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Can I have an explanation? You agree that it needs changed but you're only reverting to the old version without any reason or fixes...  Help me out here.Sduffy 04:58, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:France votes no in EU referendum

... ok

there's many POV matter in this article... i'll check and try correct that :)
 * France is not affraid by poor countries but by country where people are paid 70 €uros a month.

In France, if you have less than 602 €uros a month you are poor (for one people whithout kid) see in french this table) or [http://www.insee.fr/fr/ffc/chifcle_fiche.asp?ref_id=NATSOS04401 insee, official numbers...

 * I remove the phrase about protectionnism, it's POV

Jacques Divol 11:41, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

No, the positions of many opponents of the treaty are protectionist: they don't want a free market, but want import restrictions, custom duties, and other rules to prevent concurrence from poorer countries. The Common Agricultural Policy, for instance, is a form of protectionism.

Apart from that, the article currently discusses the NO of France. I think we should thus discuss in detail the arguments of the no. Submarine 12:25, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

 * It's the term : concurence ???, what concurence ????, you joke ! (Remember China !)...
 * as french i voted yesterday
 * i don't know in Spain or other country, but French people RODE the Treaty, and discuss and argue at job, aound the meal. And it's very important, much more than SOFRES bullshit...
 * Jacques Divol 12:50, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

 * and last, as french i do not recognise at all my country into that article.

 * Sorry to say so, but I don't understand your (excuse me) very poor English.
 * The article is not meant to represent France, but the arguments in favor of the "NO", which were repeated at meetings and on posters plastered on walls around French cities.
 * Nobody disputed that the treaty was much discussed. Submarine 14:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * my english is not so good, i know and i am sorry for that...
 * for me this article pictures french people as mad people following extrem (left and right) ideas. no, not the case at all. French people have read the treaty and tried to understand it. The vote is interresting for that, much more than trying to expose political arguments.
 * If Paris and Lyon vote YES, it's because they closed voting 2 hours (10pm) after the rest of the country. Just watching the TV news at 8 pm and you know the result. Strange no ?
 * One last think, in France your education is not related to the place you live.

Jacques Divol 09:29, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * One last think, in France your education is not related to the place you live.
 * Obviously false. There are obvious links between education and wealth, and wealth and dwelling area. Submarine 10:10, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Blog
Heres a nice blog entry about this article - the writer claims that the "Best overview on this event can be found on WikiNews."! → CGorman (Talk)  13:38, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Reasons for a Yes?
This article needs to balance the lengthy exposition about the reasons for the no vote with a section about why people voted for the thing (43-45% did vote yes). I don't know enough about the issue at hand but I know POV when I see it.
 * You're confusing POV with laziness. Furthermore, this article is about a "NO" vote, not a "YES" vote. Submarine 05:56, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

very nice article.
Just wanted to say to anybody who edited this article, that it was very well done in my opinion (-:. I found it very intereasting, Great work.Bawolff 22:47, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called SeeSchloss. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name SeeSchloss~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

British Liberal Democrat Patsy Calton, 56, dies of cancer

June 2, 2005

from, , England, a Liberal Democrat MP for the constituency died at age 56 from cancer on Sunday May 29. The Liberal Democrat party leader described her as a "spirited and courageous" politician.

She was first elected to the Cheadle constituency by the slim margin of 33 votes in the 2001 election. She was then re-elected just 24 days before her death with a greatly increased majority of 4020, in spite of not campaigning herself due to the illness.

She was a staunch supporter of a ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces. Acting as the party's health spokesman, she supported the Bath Liberal Democrats anti-smoking initiatives in the 2004 spring conference.

She is survived by her husband Clive Calton, who worked as her researcher at the House of Commons, and her son and two daughters.

Wikinews talk:Proposed Workspace

Uncle g - I noticed you're preserving the structural integrity of the working model of the proposal. I appreciate that. The category names I'm not picky about, I just want the template names to be short so they're quick and easy to change. I named the categories as I did to reflect the template names, but that's not neccessary. I would think "urgent review" should go before "final review", but I don't know the details of the purpose/motivation of it. Perhaps you could leave a comment on the proposed workspace talk page about the improvements you've made. I want people to modify it, provided that the concept remains intact (a new concept deserves a new proposal) Thanks. Kevin Baastalk 06:41, 2005 May 31 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AppleBoy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AppleBoy~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:28, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Dominique de Villepin to replace resigning French PM

May 31, 2005 President Jacques Chirac of France has accepted the resignation of prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin and has named Dominique de Villepin in his place.

The resignation of Mr. Raffarin comes shortly after the resounding refusal of the ratification of the treaty establishing the European Constitution in a referendum. (See France votes no in EU referendum). While Mr. Raffarin was initially popular with the French citizens (polled at 60% of trust in 2002), he gradually lost support from the population, up to record levels; according to polls, only 22% of the population trust him (including only 2% who trust him strongly).

The prime minister has responsibility for the day-to-day running of the French government.

There are questions whether Mr. de Villepin, who has never held elected office and has ascended mostly as a Chirac aide, will be well-received by the population and by the parliamentary majority. His nomination was immediately criticized by left-wing politicians, as well as by the center-right Union for French Democracy, a junior partner in the ruling coalition, as a continuation of the same failed policies; Mr. Villepin was himself criticized as being out-of-touch with respect of the daily needs of the population. The Union for a Popular Movement, the party created for backing Chirac, has now rallied behind Nicolas Sarkozy, whose reciprocal distaste for Chirac and Villepin is well-published.

Jacques Chirac announced that Nicolas Sarkozy would be Minister of State (a honorific rank) in the government; it is yet unknown what his attributions will be, but it is rumored that he will become Minister of the Interior, a position whose main function is law enforcement and which he also held from 2002 to 2004. According to polls, Mr. Sarkozy is France's most popular politician. It is also well-known that Mr. Sarkozy and Mr. de Villepin see each other as a hostile competitor, particularly in the perspective of the 2007 presidential election.

May 31, 2005 In a press conference held at 13:00 UTC on Tuesday, Bob Geldof, Elton John, and Harvey Goldsmith announced Live 8, a set of simultaneous free concerts to be held in Philadelphia, London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin on July 2, 2005, to raise awareness of Make Poverty History, a campaign to get the richest nations to cancel debt and increase aid to developing countries. The concerts are scheduled to occur just before the G8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, from July 6 to July 8.

"20 years ago, at the time of the original Live Aid concert, I was a self-obsessed drug addict.", began Elton John. "I've grown up since". He then described the aim of the concerts to raise awareness in the richest countries of the world of the plights of the poorest, and how his work on global AIDS awareness had impressed upon him the lack of awareness and ignorance that exists. "The Prime Minister of South Africa thinks that AIDS is something that is caused by poverty. I wish!"

Bob Geldof thanked the corporations who had already come forward to sponsor the event, including the BBC and AOL. In mentioning AOL he said that "20 years ago, almost nobody had a mobile 'phone", hinting at the possibility of AOL broadcasting the concerts to mobile telephones. Geldof also thanked The Prince's Trust, which had already booked Hyde Park for July 2, for stepping aside in favour of Live 8.

Ryanair profits jump 19% to €268.9m

May 31, 2005 Ryanair, the Irish low fares airline, which last week celebrated twenty years in business, has reported a 19% increase in profits. The airline, which operates over 200 routes, revealed in its annual results that after tax profits had increased to €268.9m (US $332 million), comfortably beating the median analyst forecast of €248m ($306 million).

Group revenue rose by 24% to a record €1.34bn ($1.66 billion), on the back of a 19% rise in passenger numbers to 27.6m ($34.1 million). By 10:30am UTC, Ryanair shares had risen by 4.48% to €6.53 ($8.06) ( on the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE), having hit €6.66 ($8.22) earlier in the morning - briefly valuing Ryanair above the €5bn ($6 billion) mark.

Despite the increase in profits, the firm told investors that the increased cost of fuel posed a serious threat for the future, however Ryanair has hedged 75% of next winters fuel needs at €38 ($47) a barrel. CEO Michael O'Leary, told the media in relation to fuel costs, "Our outlook for the coming 12 months is more positive than it was this time last year"..."Clearly fuel costs remain high, and the market is volatile." He also reiterated that Ryanair would not impose fuel surcharges on customers.

Ryanair's 2004 record profit is larger than that of Easyjet ($74m), British Airways ($240m), and even its role model Southwest Airlines ($313m). The fact that it made €248m on turnover of just €1.34bn makes it by some margin the world's most profitable major airline. One of the key methods of keeping costs to a minimum at Ryanair is by using less staff to carry more passengers, in comparison to its main competitors:

 * Ryanair employs 2,300 staff and carries 27m people a year;
 * 11,700 passengers per staff member
 * easyJet employs 3,600 staff and carries 24m people a year;
 * 6,666 passengers per staff member
 * Aer Lingus employs 3,900 staff and carries 7m people a year;
 * 1,795 passengers per staff member
 * Air France-KLM employs 64,000 staff and carries 65m people a year;
 * 1,015 passengers per staff member
 * British Airways employs 51,939 staff and carries 35m people a year;
 * 674 passengers per staff member

Ryanair has a stated aim of raising its passenger numbers to above 70m within five years time, making it Europe's largest airline. The Dublin-based airline currently is awaiting delivery of 200 new planes from Boeing which it hopes to use to achieve this ambitious aim and to replace its older aircraft.

Talk:Ryanair profits jump 19% to €268.9m

A large amount of the content of this article, such as the passenger/staff figures are my own work, derived from figures given at hoovers, wikipedia or in the annual report. I've been a long time follower of Ryanair and have quite a grasp about the airlines affairs - I wrote most of the Ryanair article at wikipedia - bringing it from stub to a featured article. I've also read Siobhan Creaton's book on Ryanair Ryanair: How a Small Irish Airline Conquered Europe and Simon Calder's excellent No Frills: The Truth Behind the Low Cost Revolution in the Skies. I live in Ireland - in Michael O'Leary's hometown - so im well exposed to any news about the airline, so my observations and facts shouild all be correct. Any questions, just ask. → CGorman (Talk)  14:58, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Staff/Passenger relation
Is the comparison fair? If the comparison is made you must also know which type of personnel you are comparing. It could be for example that British airways has its own personnel for maintenance, cleaning, baggage handling, pension, etc perhaps at Ryanair this has been outsourced in that case the comparison is not fair. Can you comment on this, thx. - comment from 195.167.131.194
 * Also, British Airways fly's all around the world. Wouldn't a comparison between staff and passenger-hours be fairer? (these are minor points, though) - Borofkin 06:51, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't deny that Ryanair outsources some work (althought for example all advertising is in-house, whilst at BA it is done by agencies). But Ryanair could not indirectly employ more than maybe twice its total number of staff through outside agencies; even that is proably at the upper end of the scale - so it is still undoubted that BA uses far more people to carry each person. As regards long haul flights; most of Easyjet and Aer lingus' flights are roughly the same lenght as Ryanair, yes BA would have longer average flights - but can that justify 17 times more staff per passenger? My point is meerly to highlight the brutal (and you can take that word in both meanings!) efficency of Ryanair compared to other carriers - including 'national carriers', 'low fares' carriers and 'quality' carriers. →  CGorman (Talk)  09:42, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dutch vote today on EU constitution

June 1, 2005 People all over the Netherlands are voting today in a referendum on the EU constitution. This the first national referendum for two hundred years and it is non-binding. Though most major political parties have stated they will abide by the referendum if the outcome is sufficiently clear and a large enough percentage of the voters have actually voted. The question put to voters will be:

 * Bent U voor of tegen instemming door Nederland met het verdrag tot vaststelling van een grondwet voor Europa?
 * "Are you for or against approval by the Netherlands of the treaty establishing a constitution for Europe?"

All the main political parties have asked for a voor (for, or yes) vote. However polls have been saying that two-thirds of the people will be voting tegen (against, or no).

One reason for people to vote no is the expansion of the European Union with large countries like Turkey, which they fear will cause less influence for the smaller countries. The view of an European super state in which the Netherlands would loose its own identity is another reason for voting no. Some of the no voters do this to show they don't agree with the current political situation and the supposed risen prices since the introduction of the euro.

As of 14:00 CET, 9% more voters had turned up for the referendum than for the European elections.

Exit poll
21:25 CET: According to a Interview/NSS-NOS exit-poll, 63% have voted against the EU constitution, while 37% voted for.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called VioRot. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name VioRot~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Scottish Radio Holdings set to buy Highland Radio for €7m

May 31, 2005

Media group, Scottish Radio Holdings (SRH), has reached an agreement to purchase Donegal's popular Highland Radio for around €7 million (USD $8.6 million). The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland has approved the deal in principle; but both the Competition Authority and the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment still are entitled to block the deal.

Highland Radio, which broadcasts in north Donegal, Ireland, first hit the airwaves in 1990. It is based in Letterkenny. SRH is a major player in the Irish media market; already owning both Today FM and FM104. Apart from operating radio stations, SRH is also a major player in the weekly newspaper market in the UK and Ireland, owning 45 titles.

Former FBI Second-In-Command says he was 'Deep Throat'

May 31, 2005

In an interview by John D. O'Connor for the American magazine , it was revealed that, a former associate director of the during the , was the anonymous informer called. "Deep Throat" helped journalists and  bring down then-president  through the exposure of the.

Previously bound by a pledge not to reveal "Deep Throat's" identity until after his death, Woodward and Bernstein at first refused to confirm the Vanity Fair report. However, in a story posted late today on the  website, they verified that Felt was "Deep Throat."

However, one of Richard Nixon's biographers,, believes that at least one of "Deep Throat's" tips could not have been known by Felt. The Post first reported on the famous 18 1/2 minute gap in a crucial tape at a time when only six people were aware of its existence -- none of them Felt. This raises the possibility that "Deep Throat," though mainly based on Felt, may be a composite character.

Felt has been mentioned as a leading candidate for "Deep Throat" by many that have tried to solve the mystery. An article published in the  last fall claimed Carl Bernstein's son once exposed Felt as the mysterious informer. But until now, Felt, Woodward, Bernstein and the Post's former editor have all denied it.

Felt, 91, has reportedly been in poor health in recent years. His family says Felt admits to being the source and described him as feeling proud of his role in history and having "a big grin" when told of the Vanity Fair article.

Natalie Glebova is elected Miss Universe

May 31, 2005

The 23-year-old Canadian delegate Natalie Glevoba was elected on Tuesday morning as the new Miss Universe, in a ceremony held at Bangkok's Impact Arena.

Glevoba is a professional model, height 1.79 m (5'11"), who received her Bachelor of Commerce in Information Technology Management and Marketing at Ryerson University. Born in Russia, she emigrated to Toronto at the age of 11. She beat four Latin American delegates in semifinals: Cynthia Olavarria (Puerto Rico), Renata Soñe (Dominican Republic), Laura Elizondo (Mexico) and Mónica Spear (Venezuela), as well as another 75 delegates from the same number of countries.

Chananporn Rosjan, from Thailand, won the Best Costume Award, while Gionna Cabrera, from Philippines, was chosen as Miss Photogenic and Tricia Homer, US Virgin Islands delegate, became Miss Congeniality.

Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell co-hosted the ceremony.

Glebova received the Mikimoto crown, valued in 250,000 dollars, from Australian Jennifer Hawkins, Miss Universe 2004. Besides, Natalie will live in New York for one year, in one of the Trump Towers, with other several prizes. The first time a Canadian was elected Miss Universe was in 1982, when Karen Baldwin won the pageant.

Colombian designer Miguel De La Torre, who designed Glebova's wardrobe, declared that "Canadian beauty contestants have always been quite classical. It's the first time a Latin designer is chosen. (...) At the very first days, Natalie was quite low-key, because being too noticed is not good. To be with her is the best thing has ever happened in my professional life. Furthermore, to come here for the first time with two delegates (Glebova and Daniela Clerk from Nicaragua) and two gown dresses was a dream come true".

Glebova visited Colombia in April 2004 in order to take part in Miss Maja World pageant, held in the northern town of Corozal, Sucre, where she was the second runner-up, and went back there a few months ago to try the dresses designed by De La Torre. The Colombian designer has never participated at his country's national beauty pageant.

Thailand's prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra said the pageant was very positive for his country's tourism reactivation, after the tsunami tragedy. Thailand spent 6.5 million dollars in the pageant and used locations at Phi-Phi and Phuket beaches for the previous footages with delegates.

U.S. Supreme Court overturns Arthur Andersen conviction

June 1, 2005

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned a conviction against  firm  for destroying documents related to now-bankrupt energy giant   The verdict virtually put Andersen, once one of the largest accounting firms in the world and the fifth-largest in the United States, out of business.

In a unanimous opinion written by William Rehnquist, the court threw out the verdict due to serious flaws in the jury instructions. The had upheld Andersen's June 15, 2002 conviction in Houston.

In the court's view, the instructions allowed the jury to convict Andersen without proving that the firm knew it broke the law or that there was a link to any official proceeding that prohibited the destruction of documents. "The jury instructions at issue simply failed to convey the requisite consciousness of wrongdoing," Rehnquist wrote. "Indeed, it is striking how little culpability the instructions required." Rehnquist's opinion also expressed grave skepticism at the government's definition of "corrupt persuasion" — persuasion with an improper purpose even without knowing an act is unlawful. "Only persons conscious of wrongdoing can be said to 'knowingly corruptly persuade,' " he wrote.

The ruling came very quickly, as oral arguments in the case had taken place on April 27. attorneys claimed Andersen employees were instructed "undertake an unprecedented campaign of document destruction" in order to impede a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into Enron's conduct. Deputy Solicitor General David Dreeben likened Andersen's behavior to "shredding its smoking guns."

However, Maureen Mahoney, arguing for Andersen, countered that the employees involved merely followed the company's policy on destroying unneeded documents, and that the shredding occurred before Andersen received a subpoena on November 8, 2001. She also claimed that under the government's legal definition of "corrupt persuasion," acquittal was virtually impossible.

The justices seemed to indicate which way they were leaning very early in oral arguments, as they peppered the government lawyers with hostile remarks.

Justice Antonin Scalia called the government's theory of prosecution "weird." Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was particularly troubled by the trouble the jury initially had sifting the evidence. "If this thing is so confusing," she asked, "how is a businessperson supposed to know? How is a lawyer supposed to know?"

Andersen's appeal was backed by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. In a friend-of-the-court brief, the association claimed that the government's broad definition of "corrupt persuasion" put defense lawyers at risk for prosecution simply for advising clients of their rights to assert legal privileges or review document retention policies.

Despite the ruling, which returns the case to the Fifth Circuit, it is highly unlikely Andersen will ever return as a viable business. It lost nearly all of its clients after its indictment, and was forced to shut down its American accounting practice due to federal laws that forbid convicted felons from auditing public companies. The firm still faces more than 100 civil suits related to its audits of Enron and other companies. Once 28,000 employees strong, the Chicago-based Andersen is now down to around 200 employees who are largely occupied with handling the civil suits and other details of winding down the partnership.
