Pellicano Scandal's 9/11 Connection

[AGENDA21]

I’m told that, after his P.I. offices were raided, Anthony Pellicano used to boast from jail to friends that no one would ever be able to crack his wiretapping encryption. Well, the feds did find a way. But who? And how? Perhaps it was inevitable that the explosive Pellicano scandal would have a 9/11 connection. I’m told that the reason for the years-long delay between the November 2002 raid on Pellicano's office and the recent 2006 start of major indictments was because the nation’s top code-breakers were too busy investigating terrorist targets. Sources tell me the effort went all the way up to the National Security Agency which already had its hands full with post-9/11 activity.The Recorder legal paper on Feb. 27th quoted an FBI spokeswoman as confirming that FBI technical expertise certainly was utilized during the investigation. But, to date, the NSA’s involvement has not even been speculated.

Pellicano after all had become one of the nation's foremost expert witnesses in electronic surveillance. He claimed to have come up with a name for it: forensic audio, to describe authenticating and cleaning up tapes. That was one reason why defense attorney Howard Weitzman brought Pellicano from Chicago to Los Angeles to help beat John De Lorean’s cocaine rap. Pellicano boasted to GQ mag in 1992 that he being paid by district attorneys and sheriffs for his audio expertise run out what he termed the fanciest tape lab in the country – Forensic Audio Labs. Others said he testified for prosecutors in organized-crime cases involving court-ordered wiretaps. But then Pellicano developed a sophisticated wiretapping system.
