'D.C. madam' names a purported customer [war strategist who coined the term "Shock & Awe"]
CNN ^ | April 12, 2007

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The alleged "D.C. madam" dropped a name in court documents filed Thursday, but the man named bristled at being accused of hiring the high-end escort service run by Deborah Jean Palfrey.

Government prosecutors say Pamela Martin and Associates was actually a prostitution ring that Palfrey operated in the Washington area for 13 years. Palfrey denies that her business provided sexual services to its customers.

In her motion to reconsider appointment of counsel, Palfrey named Harlan K. Ullman as "one of the regular customers" of the business.

Ullman is one of the leading theorists behind the "shock and awe" military strategy that was associated with the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

"The allegations do not dignify a response," Ullman told CNN. "I'm a private, not a public, citizen. Any further questions are referred to my attorneys."

Sorry Suzy, but I don’t think brains have anything to do with it. No doubt he’s brilliant.

LoL, that was funny until my daughter came in the room and asked me what I was laughing at; then it was 1998 all over again and trying to explain why Clintoon makes daddy laugh and angry at the same time.

>>>Old Harlan had to hire a HO for sex....no WONDER he thought that bombing was Shock and Awe!! What a stupid, stupid man.

Someone once asked Errol Flynn why he, of all people, would hire prostitutes. Couldn’t he get enough sex for free from his millions of admiring female fans ? Flynn replied he didn’t pay women for the sex, he paid them to go away.

There will be a carefully orchestrated parade of names up to the election by the MSM carefully designed to protect the Democrats and to pillory the GOP. Any bets?

The Fox news version of this story mentions that he coined the term in 1996. Can someone remind me who was President then? Does sound like this is tied to the Bush administration as tightly as some would wish.
