Enron's Fastow gets hot in Houston. Much to its credit, the Houston Chronicle has successfully led the charge for a hearing to make public the transcript of last week's closed hearing in the criminal case against former Enron Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow:

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt said he will hear from the Chronicle Aug. 26. Citing the First Amendment, the newspaper has asked Hoyt to make public the record of a July 28 hearing that was scheduled for open court, but was instead held behind closed doors.

It's 101 degrees in Houston today — much too stuffy for closed doors. A little sunshine and First Amendment fresh air for Enron's secrets might be beneficial.

And with the help of the judiciary, life will continue to get hotter still for W's Enron friends who are still at large, as more and more of their dastardly secrets come out into the Texas sun.
