About Spitzer (4.00 / 2)

A genuine investigation of the 3000 homicides that occurred in lower Manhattan on September 11, 2001 is not in the domain of the NYS Attorney General, Mr. Spitzer, but the Manhattan District Attorney, Mr. Morgenthau.
However, if Mr. Spitzer wants cred as a crime and corruption defender of the ordinary citizen, he should be screaming for a real, independent no-holds-barred investigation.
He isn't. He knows the Official Story is a lie, but he ain't saying twiddly. 3000 dead, well it's the feds, we can't do anything, they had to lay a groundwork for wars against Afghanistan (pipelines 'n' poppies) and Iraq (oil 'n' savagery) let's do some real estate deals!
He's in the game for self-aggrandizement.
He is an imperious, rich-boy asshole.
Preferable to Pataki or any Repug I can think of who might make the run? Yes. But do I believe in him? No.

    want to read that post more carefully before you endorse it so heartily. proudtinfoilhat wants Spitzer to call an inquiry into whether al Qaeda is really behind 911. Because he doesn't do this, the poster assumes Spitzer is a "rich boy asshole". Do you want Spitzer to call an inquiry into whether al Qaeda was really behind 911? Because if you do, I lose all sympathy for your otherwise interesting argument here.
