"Feds Seek to Gag DC Madam"
"Prosecutors fear leak of sensitive client, escort information..."

"...In their motion, a copy of which you'll find below, government lawyers claim that some discovery documents contain "personal information" about Palfrey's former johns and prostitutes that is "sensitive." The prosecution filing does not detail the nature of this confidential information..."

6. I don't know why they're so upset. They've been telling us for years
that only democrats have "degenerate" sex and republicans only do it for the sake of godly procreation.

7. I thought "sensitive personal information" went out the window with the Clinton impeachment
Edited on Thu Mar-08-07 12:28 PM by KansDem
Particularly after the Repubs fell all over themselves getting every word from Ken Starr's report on the internet--virtually overnight!

edited to change a word or two

Kiss my sensitive ass! If you're anybody but them, your face and name could/would be plastered on sensitive television and in those sensitive newspapers.

10. the cops publish solicitors names in the paper when they are arrested,

11. I really don't know much about this story
Edited on Thu Mar-08-07 12:35 PM by halobeam
but if she was going to release this info..why wouldn't she just put it up on the web and let the chips fall where they will?

Any info would be appreciated.

17. The mouth isn't that deep.
It doesn't take much of a gift to trigger a gag reflex.

15. Only thing 'sensitive' is the names of who was serviced by her 'escort service'...
If she had noted that someone was with the CIA in her appointment book, that could easily be redacted.

There is a full scale protection effort going on here. Politicians and hookers go way back, to the Roman Times. Who would be surprised? No one. Who would be surprised by the actual names on her list? A lot of people.

You can bet if all the names were godless heathen Democrats, the list would have already been published and commmented on by Fox News incessantly. Must be some high level Republicans on that list who have made a career out of promoting 'family values.' Just a guess.

16. What?! How dare they deprive Ken Starr of new masterbatory material!
Fox Noise also needs the material to run with 24/7 to boost ratings while they pretend to be outraged at it.

20. WTF! Bill Clinton's sex life was something they couldn't wait to
have made public knowledge. These guys really do consider themselves above the law.
