It's obvious Spitzer was deliberately outted and taken down by those who would rather not have a Democrat bent on reform in the governor's mansion in New York. But newspapers are in the news business and no newspaper worth its ink could sit on this story while investigating the motives of the leakers. Now is the time for the paper to put its best reporters on the trail of the larger story: Why were the feds snooping around his personal transactions? How did this information get leaked to the press? ETC.
