Never afraid to kick a man when he is dead, I encourage you to take a look at this article about Ken Lay. I won't hammer on this too long, but I find it remarkable how much power the Bush administration really has over the media. A convicted serial corporate scandal conspirator who ruined the lives of millions of investors who trusted him? Sure. But a really great guy nonetheless, according to this article. Now, I am all for mourning and putting someone in a favorable light when they die (what about when they commit suicide because they are too chicken to live the rest of their life in jail for a crime they committed?), but I don't think it is appropriate to rewrite history. Many people (i.e. Steven Colbert, a real journalist) believe that Bush has a squadron of historians waiting in the wings to rewrite the country's recollection of his administration. It appears to me that he told them to practice up on this Lay thing.
