It's a pure coincidence, of course, that of all the white collar criminals, the guy who refuses to help the NSA gets found out.

Just like it's a pure coincidence, of course, that of all the people out there hiring escorts, Elliot Spitzer gets rumbled.

You mean besides everyone else at Qwest, and for that matter Worldcom and Enron, that went down at roughly the same time?

Yes, nobody else has ever been jailed for white collar crime.

Maybe the recent DOJ prosecution of big-ticket Dem fundraiser Raj Gupta was also politically motivated? Oh wait, someone on HN claimed that too.

Or Martha Stewart. She was jailed for insider trading right? (Or technically for lying during an investigation into it.) Wonder what she wouldn't tell the NSA.

Wow. You've been served but you still are going to great lengths to defend your position.
