Why are Politicians Silent While the Country Burns?
Gretchen 360, Alternet
Public officials are notably silent about torture, the theft of US nuclear secrets and corporate corruption. Eliot Spitzer was an exception a crusader against Wall Street fraud and SEC manipulations.
The Feds aren't noted for 24/7 surveillance of unusual bank account maneuvers. They can't follow every runaway dad and cheating husband.
This is the work of private detectives such as those typically hired by Wall Street crooks. They have time to stand behind the Governor while he buys three money orders. They totaled $10,000, which is the minimum transaction meriting the interest of the IRS.
Indifferent to torture etc, the public loves news of lust and perversion. Although Eliot disappointed as he was not a pedophile, they have managed to silence the Wall Street watchdog.
How many other pols have learned from this incident not to mess with Wall Street?
