Was NYT Reporter David Rosenbaum Assasinated?
The implications behind this story are being ignored.
A story is published in the New York Times revealing that Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito wrote a memo about wiretapping. The memo says wiretappling is "OK" for high level officials... Then, just two weeks later, that reporter is murdered on a quiet street in an upscale Washington, D.C. neighborhood by two "muggers". These two men lay in ambush in their car. They jump out, club the reporter with a pipe, steal his wallet but ignore his gold watch and his wedding ring and they drive off. Through a series of fantastic feats of clumsiness, the rescue teams botch his rescue, the ambulance takes 22 minutes to arrive, and sends him to the wrong hospital where he dies two days later.
Nah.. No story there....
Blogger Clyde Lewis has made these significant observations:
On December 24th, 2005, veteran news reporter and editor for the New York Times, David E. Rosenbaum, reported that Supreme Court Nominee Samuel Alito had authorized a 1984 memo arguing that then-President Ronald Reagan had the right to order wire taps without warrants.
The article entitled "DOMESTIC SURVEILLANCE: THE NOMINATION Alito Memo in '84 Favored Immunity for Top Officials" served as a warning about Alito and how he supports the encroaching surveillance society.
This, obviously, is the hidden agenda behind the choice of Samuel Alito by George W. Bush.
The Friday before Alito's confirmation hearings, David E. Rosenbaum was beaten and robbed in front of his home in Washington D.C. He later died of his injuries at the hospital.
It was reported by the Washington Times that Rosenbaum lived in one of the safest neighborhoods in the D.C area. At first police thought that Rosenbaum had a stroke or a seizure. They didn't realize that he was a crime victim until he was evaluated at the hospital. The confusion cost police time that could have been spent combing the neighborhood for robbery suspects.
Rosenbaum's wallet was taken and it seemed a bit odd that he still was wearing his wedding band and a gold watch around his wrist. With his wedding band and watch on there was no reason for police to think it was a robbery
Other problems slowed the response to the crime scene to help Rosenbaum. It took little time for police and a fire truck to arrive, but it took 22 minutes for an ambulance to reach the scene. Fire department officials said that they had launched an investigation to determine why it took so long; they said they strive to get an ambulance to such scenes within 10 minutes.
Police had no leads and no suspects.
Miraculously on January 12th it was reported that 23-year-old Michael Hamlin walked into a police station and asked why his face was on television.
Hamlin was allegedly using Rosenbaum's credit card and his image from a surveillance camera was broadcast on the nightly news. Police said the credit card had been used seven times since Rosenbaum's death, to buy a total of $1,300 worth of merchandise.
Hamlin later confessed to the attack on Rosenbaum.
When the press asked the police why Hamlin turned himself in a police spokesman replied "Stranger things have happened."
Yes, very strange indeed.
Here we have some irony as a reporter writes his last story about the illegal surveillance society and then out of the blue his alleged murderer is caught using his credit card on a surveillance camera.
Hamlin was either the stupidest guy on the planet or he was unaware that he was doing anything wrong. According to his neighbors Hamlin was a responsible man, he had a job, and lived with his mother. He had no reason to rob Rosenbaum.

Wouldn't it make a great "ODD NEWS" piece at the very least? Reporter's last story trashing surveillance but his killer is caught by surveillance?
HOWEVER, THIS IS ALL WE GET ON YAHOO "NEWS"...
Response faulted in journalist's attack
It's a throw away piece about how the paramedics screwed up and so did everybody else...
