(( The case of Daniel Pearl has created ongoing confusion. On Sunday there were reports the wall street journal reporter's body was found on the side of a road in Pakistan.... riddled with bullets. There was a body.... but it wasn't Pearl's. Last week there was an e-mail that said the reporter had been executed.... it turned out to be a hoax. On Friday a ransom was phoned to the us embassy in Pakistan.... another hoax. The real kidnappers have a list of demands.... including the release of pakistani prisoners from camp x-ray in cuba. But the bush administration says giving into their demands would only lead to more kidnappings.

"THE INEVITABLE RESULT IS IT WILL BECOME A MAJOR BUSINESS.. GO OUT AROUND THE WORLD, KIDNAP AMERICANS AND HOLD THEM RANSOM".
In the middle of all this, Daniel Pearl's pregnant wife Marianne. In a letter to local newspapers Marianne Pearl pleaded with the kidnappers. she writes: I want to tell the people who are holding Danny that there is nothing to gain from holding an innocent man who feels for humanity.
STANDUP: The real problem for authorities is they just don't know who the kidnappers are. With leads into Islamic extremist groups running dry, investigators are expanding their search into Pakistan's criminal underworld.))

THERE ARE A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN THIS INDUSTRY, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE AUDITING FIRMS.

Andersen collected 52 million dollars a year both auditing and consulting for Enron...then destroyed Enron-related documents that investigators wanted to see.

And now a new internal Enron investigation is giving Andersen even MORE problems. It says the shady Enron partnerships that concealed huge losses and debt were created "with extensive participation and structuring advice from Andersen" (p.5)

(SOT-BYRON DORGAN/NBC)
HOW COULD THE ACCOUNTING FIRMS HAVE SAT BY HERE? WERE THEY BRAIN DEAD? INCOMPETENT? WHAT ON EARTH HAS HAPPENED?

(VO/charts)
Those Enron partnerships were so complex...even the "simplified" charts are daunting. But some Enron executives understood them well enough to turn them into huge personal gains.

(GRAPHIC: VO of Fastow + quotations/tear outs from document?)
Example: former Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow "should never have received" "at least $30 million" (p.3) he paid himself for work on "LJM" partnerships. And Michael Kopper...who reported directly to Fastow...somehow parlayed his relatively small ($125,000) investment in Enron's "Chewco" partnership...into a $10 million personal return. He also took MILLIONS in fees (p.8)...but the internal report couldn't find "what, if anything, (he) did to justify the payments."

(SOT-BILLY TAUZIN-R/NBC)
I THINK WE'RE FINDING WHAT MAY CLEARLY END UP BEING SECURITY FRAUD. ATTEMPTS NOT TO HEDGE OR PUT DEBT OUT OF THE COMPANY--WHICH MANY COMPANIES DO--BUT LITERALLY FRAUDULENT PHONY ATTEMPTS TO DO SO IN VIOLATION OF CURRENT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES.

Enron eventually tried to correct its books last fall...slicing income by a billion dollars, upping debt two and a half billion and slashing shareholder equity an astronomical 3.3 billion. Investors understood few details...but knew they were in big trouble. Less than a month later, Enron filed for bankruptcy.

(( When Iva Burford's father died in 1917, her mother found the task of raising four children on her own to be too much.
So Burford and two of her sisters were sent to the Miller Orphanage in Lynchburg.. it was a place of strict rules.. where the word "smartypants" would get your mouth washed out with soap, but it was also a time filled with friends, outings and opportunies Iva and her sisters might not have had at home.

Meanwhile Tech got a bushel basket full of points as big Terry Taylor banged the boards and dropped in 11 for the Hokies in the first 20 minutes. Brian Chase also got into the act by getting out on the break and dropping in this deuce. Chase had 11 in the opening half, as well as the Hokies led 32-to-28 at halftime. Hatten would finish with a game high 19 points, but the Hokies' zone bothered him as he only made 5 out of 14 shots from the field.

Carlos Dixon, who was just 2-of-10 got Tech within 2 points with this bomb late, but again Tech can't close as the Hokies lose their 18th straight Big East game 72-to-63.
