There is an update to the story involving Megan Meier, and Lori and Curtis Drew.  It seems prosecutors are considering filing charges under a very interesting (and perhaps disturbing) legal theory.  Check it out.

Unfortunately the "Enron = evil" memo is so ingrained in the collective unconscious that it will never bee removed.  That said, at least some editors of the Wall Street Journal are realizing how ignorant and foolish their coverage of the Enron affair was.

Why does this stun or surprise anyone?  Are people really so moronic that they fall for Clinton's superficial charm? 

Under the case law, this most likely is.  Yet that is not the type of prosecutorial misconduct most people have a problem with.
