The Daily Background

Naughty, naughty. One of the White House’s prewar Iraq planners allegedly was a regular customer of Pamela Martin and Associates, a DC brothel whose operator is in a court battle right now. CNN:

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.”

Ullman — a former Navy commander and “a highly respected and widely recognized expert in national security whose advice is sought by governments and businesses,” according to his Web site — also said he is considering “some sort of legal action.”

Of course, the (alleged) former brothel owner is arguing that she never offered sexual services for money cause that’s illegal. So she’s only saying that this Ullman character used her (alleged) brothel’s services for legal stuff. Legal stuff like the one-hour “dates” she (allegedly) provided with her employees. Riiiight. By the way, ABC News 20/20 will likely reveal more clients because they got a full list plus an exclusive interview. Their first special airs May 4th… perhaps some fun headlines will come out of it.
