What the Times is and isn't asking about the Spitzer case

I've previously raised a glass to The New York Times's impressive reporting on Eliot Spitzer and his entanglement in a prostitution bust waged by federal law enforcement.

But one thing we haven't seen out of the Times is any reporting on the very federal law enforcement and prosecutors who caught Spitzer. That is, we hadn't seen it until this morning's piece by Phillip Shenon and David Johnson...

Quote:

Roger Stone, the political operative who has been involved in dirty tricks since the Nixon administration and who was fired from Bob Dole's campaign when The National Enquirer reported that Stone and his wife were advertising for threesomes (Stone denied it), sent a letter to the FBI four months ago alleging that Eliot Spitzer "used the services of high-priced call girls'' in Florida. Stone, who told the FBI - through his lawyer - that "Gov. Spitzer did not remove his mid-calf length black socks during the sex act," made these claims several months after he was accused of leaving a "threatening phone message at the office of Bernard Spitzer, the ex-governor's father, regarding ''phony'' campaign loans involving his son's unsuccessful 1994 bid for attorney general." We are not sure where this sordid set of alleged facts fits in our Spitzer timeline. (Miami Herald)
