Subject: RE: BS: Gary Condit vs. Connie Chung. Hardball
That was the one--Isn't it great? I was watching the Fox News daily Chandra Discussion, and wondered why, since all of the other speculations seems to be discussed to death, no one has spent a single second talking about this one--

Ranger Steve,I am not sure which murders John Walsh was talking about--one of those "unsolved intern murders" that is mentioned on the Levy site seems clearly to have been a suicide--there is another high profile unsolved murder, at the beginning of the year, a jogger, but she wasn't an intern, and her body was found in an isolated wooded area, not far from the jogging trail--both sad cases, but not much like the Levy disappearance--

Washington and the adjecent counties, particularly Prince Georges County, have lots of lurid, brutal crimes, including unsolved murders (many committed by police officers--an woman officer was just found guilty of turning her police dog loose on a homeless man and killing him--)-but those don't get this kind of attention--It isn't very entertaining when people sit in a circle on TV and talk about crimes that are a product of poverty, despair, racism, drug addiction and alcoholism, and it is a real downer when people discuss the roots of violence in our society and in our families--We don't mind murder, as long as the sex lives of celebrities and political figures are involved, but forget the rest of that stuff--
