Moolah makes things happen ... or stops them from occurring, depending on who has more and what they want. So, if the goal of the monied is to keep secrets, such as in the case of the phone companies which eagerly shared customers calling info at the request of the Bush administration in a not-quite-legal-but-we're-going-to-change-the-law-to-make-them-safe-from-prosecution way. And Tom McCormick and his son Mike -- who tried ratting him out as a red herring and negotiating point to avoid justice on his own crimes -- may have gotten away with murder because there wasn't the money available to spend on whether or not they killed homeless men so they didn't have to pay them.
Umm, did I happen to mention in the SOS post of a couple days ago (in debt pimp ... baby desiring cop ... both married ... one kills other -- maybe you remember) that the police knew a secret they didn't share at trial: their colleague, the murdered Mrs., was the brothel's co-boss and enforcer? Oh, and their are supposedly secret photos of the murderee that the murderer won't share with the family ... don't ask.
Oops. My (and the cops') bad.
Apparently a certain governor of a certain northeast state had a certain secret something on the side that was secretly funded. And it is almost beyond belief that a certain HoF pop star could have any secret left to be revealed. But it takes no stretch of the imagination to believe that the people of Caol won't give up the one of their own who on purpose or by accident murdered the drinking Jimmy Hassard. 4000 of the Scottish village's 5500 were interviewed and a clue was nae heard nor seen.
On the one hand, Martin Leon was a bit too cocky talking up his female conquests and showing their pictures to friends in the fields of Riverbank, Calif. His wife was working there and couldn't miss the stories. On the other hand, maybe he shouldn't have had the secret life to begin with. On the third hand ... Oops, there is no third hand and so he had nothing to use to try and defend himself when his wife and her lover arranged (allegedly) to whack him in his driveway.
There are some -- like Herman Gebele, a Virginia businessman thought to be a murderer who lived in Ontario until accidentally (?!) run over by a delivery truck in a Wal-Mart parking lot -- who it is suggested will take their secrets to their grave. Others, such as the 26 American CIA agents on trial in absentia in Milan, along with 6 Italian security personnel, are likely to have their grave secrets revealed. Is there an accountant shrewd enough to do the cost-benefit analysis of keeping mortal secrets?
