Report to detail accused madam's records (on 20/20 tonight)
By MATTHEW BARAKAT Associated Press Writer

McLEAN, Va.- A prominent military consultant and a Bush administration official have already been linked to a Washington, D.C.-area escort service that prosecutors contend was a prostitution ring. Others soon could join them after a television newsmagazine reports what it learned from the accused madam's phone records.

The ABC News show "20/20" on Friday plans to air what it has learned about Deborah Jeane Palfrey's business from 46 pounds of phone records she gave the network before a judge's order barring her from releasing them took effect.

Palfrey, 51, of Vallejo, Calif., is charged in federal court with racketeering and money laundering associated with prostitution.

She contends that she ran Pamela Martin and Associates as a "legal, high-end erotic fantasy service" and that the women who worked for her signed contracts in which they promised not to have sex with clients. Prosecutors say she knew the 130 women she employed over 13 years engaged in prostitution.

1. I have this terrible feeling that ABC or Palfrey will crap out
Or that some scumbacg lawyer will threaten them and the whole thing will fall apart and drift back into obscurity.

I'll believe it when the names are named in the broadcast.

3. I heard only two names will be released.
DU was speculating one of each.
