TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - The woman known as the "D.C. Madam" apologized to her mother and sister in suicide notes, saying she couldn't bear going to prison and saw killing herself as the only "exit strategy."
Deborah Jeane Palfrey, convicted last month of running an elite Washington prostitution ring, wrote to her mother that she could not "live the next 6-8 years behind bars for what you and I have come to regard as this 'modern day lynching,' only to come out of prison in my late '50s a broken, penniless and very much alone woman."

The notes were released by police Monday.

Palfrey, 52, hanged herself with a nylon rope Thursday in a shed outside her mother's mobile home in the Florida Gulf Coast community of Tarpon Springs, northwest of Tampa. Her mother, 76-year-old Blanche Palfrey, discovered the body.

Deborah Palfrey was convicted of running a prostitution service that catered to members of Washington's political elite, including Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican. She denied her escort service engaged in prostitution, saying that if any of the women engaged in sex acts for money, they did so without her knowledge.

She was free while she awaited sentencing on July 24 and had been staying with her mother.

Her suicide appeared to have been planned for days. The note to her mother was dated April 25, nearly a week before she killed herself. Police said the notes were found on a night stand in the bedroom where she'd been staying. One of the notes said, "Do not revive. Do not feed under any circumstances."

In the note to her younger sister, Bobbie, Palfrey expressed her love and told her to "be strong for mom."

"Also, you must comprehend that there was no other way out, i.e., 'exit strategy,' other than the one I have chosen here," she wrote. "Know I am at peace, with complete certainty, I believe Dad is standing watch—prepared to guide me into the light."

Also Monday, police announced that the medical examiner's office officially ruled Palfrey's death a suicide by hanging. A toxicology report is pending.

Her death last week had sparked widespread Internet chatter among those who speculated that someone killed her to keep her from identifying more prominent clients of the escort service.

"Tarpon Springs Police Department detectives, after following up on several investigative avenues have not discovered any new evidence which would indicate anything other then a suicide by hanging in this case," spokesman Capt. Jeffrey Young said.

Palfrey's mother and sister identified her handwriting in the suicide notes, Young said.

A federal jury convicted Palfrey on April 15 of money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes and racketeering. Prosecutors said she ran the prostitution service for 13 years. The trial concluded without revealing many new details about the service or its clients. Vitter was among possible witnesses but did not take the stand.

Palfrey had vowed that she would not go to prison, even telling a Washington writer that she would commit suicide first.

that there is no follow-up to " . .where militants may be among crowded populations of noncombatants . .". That phrase jumped off the page/screen. THAT is the real story, not some Herky Bird filled with terror fighters! When will the story be told of the cowards who call themselves "insurgents" and "freedom fighters"? Please explain how they help their country and their fellow countrymen?

If the msm(Lsm) weren't so cowardly themselves, and if they weren't so anti-american, then maybe somebody with 'doo-dads' would actually report the news, instead of spreading their agenda.

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad V

"since the Vietnam War"

That's the standard phrase used by the MSM to falsely equate Iraq with Vietnam in order to imply that we're fighting a losing battle with old and outdated equipment.

Here's a few "Vietnam War" comparisons they could also use:

CH-47 Chinook Cargo Helicopter - In use since the Vietnam War

AH-1W Cobra Attack Helicopter - In use since the Vietnam War (the AH-1S Army model is what I used to work on, Go Cobra!)

M-16 Assault Rifle - In use since the Vietnam War

M-60 7.62 mm Medium Machine Gun- In use since the Korean War

M-2 .50 Cal. Heavy Machine-Gun - In use since WWII

Military Unit Structure - In use since the Revolutionary War

The list goes on and on.

What the MSM doesn't want you to know is that most military equipment and procedures in use today can trace it's roots to the Vietnam War and much earlier. They don't want you to know that most equipment has been constantly updated with today's technology and they are a vast improvement over earlier models, except for the Ma-Duce which has been kicking ass unchanged since WWII (No need to improve perfection). The MSM wants the American public to think the military uses outdated, ineffective equipment and that a lack of modern equipment is killing our troops, all thanks to "Bush's War."

Well, guess what MSM, most of us aren't falling for it, as we're not as stupid as you believe.
