Ms. Estrich, for someone so totally involved in the law, you obviously have missed the basic, fundamental, underlying, irrefutable rule present in every criminal mind. "I WILL NOT BE CAUGHT." The kid who boosts a Snickers bar from the convenience store doesn't believe he will be nailed. The politico who does dastardly deeds doesn't believe the deeds will ever be found out. Etc, etc, etc. Is it stupididty? Yes. Is it remarkable? No. It is always there, per omnia secula, seculorum.

Susan the rich and powerful pay prostitutes for sex and silence. Sure you can get it free. Look how "free" Paula Jones was to Bill Clinton. Silence is as important as beauty and skill. That is probably why these women are so high priced. After all the prostitutes did not break this story. Elliot Spitzer's money trail did that. That's how he got stupid for sex.
