Enron and Bush: the mystery deepens: Commentary: Energy papers yield more questions

The release by the administration of thousands of pages of documents related to its energy task force last year has only heightened speculation that the Bush team is hiding something by refusing to provide logs of Vice President Dick Cheney's meetings with energy executives.

While 11,000 pages of documents were released on court orders this week, most were heavily edited to blank out any useful information, particularly e-mails. The government continues to hold back an additional 15,000 documents, citing privacy and security concerns, as well as the mysterious Cheney logs.

Cobbling from what little information was made available, reporters were able to quickly establish that Secretary of the Energy Spencer Abraham met almost exclusively with energy executives while helping formulate taskforce policy last year, while ignoring any submissions from environmental or consumer groups.
