D>C? Madam death conspiracies
WASHINGTON — Police in Tarpon Springs, Fla., said there was "no question" that Deborah Jeane Palfrey committed suicide by hanging Thursday, but that was not enough to stop immediate speculation that the infamous "D.C. Madam" was the victim of murder.

Hustler magazine publisher and free-speech advocate Larry Flynt -- one of Palfrey's staunchest advocates -- was the strongest voice forwarding the notion that Palfrey's death was not by her own hands.

"I think the media should be very cautious in treating this as a suicide," Flynt told FOXNews.com in a telephone interview from his Beverly Hills office.

Asked if he believed Palfrey was murdered, Flynt responded: "I personally believe that's what happened, but I have no proof."

Palfrey was found guilty of federal racketeering charges on April 15 in connection to her prostitution business, Pamela Martin & Associates, which operated out of California but hired Washington, D.C.-area women for its operations.

The case drew wide attention early last year when Palfrey gave media organizations phone numbers of her clients, but not their names, in the hopes that the clients would support her claims that her business was a legitimate escort service.

2. When the police say there is no question that it was suicide
before the medical examiner has even seen the body, then there IS a question if it was suicide.

5. Could this be why our Congress is so "cooperative" with the Busies?
Larry Flynt said:

"Let me put it this way, there were more Democrats on it than Republicans," he said, supporting his theory that the only reason this case was of interest was because of the number of Democrats who could be targeted by the Bush administration.

I don't care if they are Democrats. I don't care if they aren't hypocrites. They need to go public about this is they are lawmakers or in the media, because otherwise the Bushies can blackmail them. It's better to be shamed by a sex scandal than to betray the American people out of fear of being "outed" for frequenting prostitutes.
