Jenna Orkin stated there was strong evidence suggesting that the Executive Office of the President was responsible for last minute changes to an EPA press release that confirmed the safety of the air in lower Manhattan, clearing the way for the re-opening of Wall Street. "Here it appears that the government was willing to sacrifice the lives of Americans for purely economic ends." She opened her remarks by predicting that those who will die of exposure to toxic dust from the destroyed twin towers will ultimately far exceed those who died on the day of the attacks. Yet this painful story was relegated to a minor footnote in the 9/11 Commission Report.

"b) observe that most of these apparent crimes, including but not limited to abetment of mass murder, criminal negligence, insider trading, and obstruction of justice, fall well within the jurisdiction of New York's top law enforcement officials, who thus become the People's last recourse when federal intervention yields no credible answers, relief or accountability;"

We'll see if Spitzer has the guts or the ability to investigate. The insider trading crimes are certainly within Spitizers jurisdiction. The paper trail excuse never passed the smell test. An adequate paper trail is a matter of NASD and SEC regulation. If such a paper trail does not exist, that too is a crime. Fed-heads from the DOJ, and SEC monitor trading screens every day, all day, looking for trading exceptions and irregularities. The spike in airline puts should have been an exception as well. Regardless, if you or I made the trades, they'd find us.
