The thing that I find interesting about this story isn't what it says, but what it doesn't say.

Alexander Proctor allegedly said in secretly recorded conversations that he was hired to carry out the threat by Anthony Pellicano, a private detective to the stars. FBI agents said Proctor told the informant Seagal hired Pellicano to threaten Los Angeles Times reporter Anita Busch.

Pellicano wasn't just a "private detective to the stars." He also worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton, to intimidate witnesses, many of them women. Don't expect anyone in the mainstream press to report that, though. Particularly since this guy's job is to intimidate reporters as well, as demonstrated here.

Rather sordid.

Anita Busch??!!

This is a joke, right? Where's the reference to Michael Hunt?
