Former director Tom Perkins airs his side of the story in spying scandal that led to board members' resignations.

guess he didn't like the New Yorker article...

Perkins doesn't come very well in last week's New Yorker. Seems

More flawed logic from another corporate apologist

Guidance directors are good, compliance directors are bad. It's all black and white. You're either with us, or your against us. Where have we heard this kind of spin before? But then of course if that "guidance" results in an Enron collapse, then those directors were probably just victims of their own ignorance. I guess "guidance" directors just can't do anything wrong.

I suspect that should read "noting that at one time" rather than "nothing that at one time".
