palfrey.jpgDeborah Jeane Palfrey, the accused “DC Madam,” filed a memo with DC’s U.S. District Court today, detailing her plans to move forward with a “Honey Pot” defense, under the representation of lawyer Montgomery Blair Sibley.

The memo alleges that “the United States Government has been directly or indirectly benefiting from the operation of her service by monitoring her customers and is thus equitably barred from prosecuting her,” according to Sibley.

The pleading identifies not only already-known customers of the escort service — Sen. David Vitter, Randall Tobias, of USAID, and Harlan Ullman, a government advisor — but also confirms for the first time that another individual with very high government security clearance — Ronald Roughead, former Army Colonel Defense Attache — was also a customer.
The Northern Virginia telephone number, 703-836-0522, was recently discovered within the records of Palfrey’s escort business, and it is associated with Roughead. Someone from that number dialed the service three times on December 17, 2005.

Roughead’s brother is Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of U.S. Naval operations.

“This nexus of CIA backed USAID, Senator Vitter on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and two beltway bandits appears to be more than a coincidence,” according to Sibley.

    “DC Honey Pot” has a nice ring to it.

    Well, it wasn’t “recently” that retired Col. Roughead’s number was found in the records–it was in early-July, by myself and another individual at a progressive blog (a search will turn them up). They posted anonymously, I did not when I published my first piece on July 16th, 2007. Over two-months-ago. It took me just a few hours to find Col. Roughead’s number (three-calls, all on 12/17/2005). Ronald Roughead was also head of IMN (Iraqi Media Network) in Iraq (where else?) during 2004, early-2005. It’s likely he still retains his high-level security clearance from his time with the government. One would assume that it’s also likely that he violated the terms of it and has or will be losing it shortly. He lives in Alexandria, Virginia, just 3 miles from the Capitol Building. More detail on this is available at J-7.

    Sounds like the back book of 1918
    That trial of the century was removed clean out of all books.
    The list there had 47000 names.
    The list here is 46000 phone records.
    The listed are not womenisers or machos or ordinary sinners.
    They are power brokers, gay, Lutheran agitators of all wars.
    And they are only the cover for the real pimps somewhere underground.
