The Assassination of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer

Most people have the sense that there was something
bizarre and surreal about the sudden coordinated
FBI and US news media attack on New York Governor
Eliot Spitzer.

After all, unproven allegations about how he may have
chosen to spend his own money on his own time hardly
seems a worthy subject of front page news for a week
straight.

Meanwhile, the US news media remained characteristically
clueless about why Spitzer was taken out.

It's simple.

He had the goods on Bush adminstation colusion with
predatory lenders and was preparing a case that would
have tied the administration directly to wide spread
fraud and criminality in the lending business.
