Judge rules to unseal Spitzer wiretap docs; But the rest of clients' names remain protected.

A judge has ruled that documents detailing cell phone calls between the prostitution ring used by former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and its clients should be unsealed, though the names of 67 apparent customers of the Emperor's Club will remain a secret.

The New York Times in December 2008 sued to unseal the documents associated with the wiretaps and search warrants for the investigation and later entered into an agreement with the government allowing prosecutors to redact the names of Spitzer's fellow clients.

I loved Socks a student in Peaches class at school wrote to Socks and get a letter back with the paw print it was cute. Socks lived a long time in Kitty years. I have my own cat name Mr. Kitty Bowtie and I'm very grateful.

Spitzer will sue the Prosecutor and others involved. He will not sue the Govenment. Now he'll take the money and give it to Charity. The Law clearly states you can't give the name of the John. As you noticed not one other name of the 67 men were released by the Press. The was done clearly to remove Spitzer and the American people fell for the trick hook line and sinker. Yes we're paying for that mistake too. Just think if we had paid attention the Stock Market wouldn't have Crash, we would have stopped Madoff/Stanford and others. But with our heads in the sand these guys knew they could continue with no problem.
