Exactly how was Spitzer caught? It had something to do with what’s called a PEP List, or the or the Politically Exposed Persons list.You’ll have to listen to the whole Morning Edition/NPR story to get to the serious bank transaction monitoring goodies, but be on the lookout for the part where the person from the bank talks about how politicians in particular, of any flavor, are flagged for extra-special surveillance with the PEP List.
You can see a screen-shot sample PEP List here. Or call and order your own at: 877-922-5757. Literally hundred of thousands of “politically exposed persons” to choose from! Call now.

The so-called Patriot Act is about the most unpatriotic thing inaginable. If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, then the Patriot Act is real-time proof. Why is it that the flag wavers can’t restrain themselves from trying to rip the heart out of what made this country special?
