The PCC has received complaints against three papers, including one from a friend of Katherine Ward, 52, who died. Charity Samaritans has also lodged a complaint about the images showing the solicitor falling four floors from a window in Kensington, west London. The Sun, Evening Standard and the Times have not commented on the complaints. The PCC said Miss Ward's friend had written to complain about the coverage in London newspaper the Standard and the Sun and it would be writing to those publications. It was yet to deal with the concerns of Samaritans, which complained about coverage in the Times and Standard. A spokeswoman for the Sun said it would issue a response if it was to receive a complaint but had not heard from the PCC. The other newspapers did not immediately return calls from the BBc Mystery of leading lawyer's suicide leap from hotel http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1970806,00.html Onlookers see woman's death plunge <a href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/PA_NEWA4328671136391469A0000?source=PA%20Feed" target="top">www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/PA_NEWA4328671136391469A0000?source=PA%20Feed</a> So was this jumper Abramoff's X?? http://p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm10.showMessage?topicID=2566.topic from emad Abramoff a whore for more than one bunch of TheoCon lunatics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A former journo colleague of mine who works at The Scotsman is currently digging away at the Abramoff link to 'suicided' London-based US lawyer Katherine Ward. See Wednesday's UK news about the suicide: www.timesonline.co.uk/art...6,00.ht... Ward was reputedly a former business consultant to Abramoff during Bush1/Quayle's unsucessful 1992 WH Campaign and in 1996 his official client adviser to UK-based Republicans Abroad campaigning for election funds to get Clinton out of office. TWO items of information doing the press rounds in London at the moment. No1 is that Ward was briefly married to Abramoff in 1972, marriage dissolved after seven months. No2 is that Ward provided Abramoff with client connections to wealthy Opus Dei members in New York, some of whom were major financial contributors to the funding of the newly erected $40million+ Opus Dei HQ building in Manhattan. I can't believe that Abramoff was a one man show. He may have done a plea bargain to name names in his client list. WHO actually hired him in the first place is probably closer to Fitzie's investigation than anyone else's. Karl Rove and Joseph Ratzinger must be shitting themselves, IMHO ----------- There are some very interesting posts especially by Dunvegan in this thread. It would be nice if someone had a few more clues as to who Katrine really is/was <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=67141&mesg_id=67141" target="top">www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=67141&mesg_id=67141</a> Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=seemslikeadream@rigorousintuition>seemslikeadream</A> at: 1/8/06 11:45 pm

Sounds suspiciously like a mind-control victim following a suicide program. Wonder what she said last, wrote last, thought last? The connection to Abramoff is a very important link. --MaryK

Almost thrilling reading that DU thread, everybody picking at diff angles.. who buys fiction any more? (when theres more than enough hair-raising facts being assembled - long live the net!). Anybody discovered if Ms Ward really was divorced from Abramoff? Theres so many other links it hardly matters, but before i go shooting my mouth off..

suicide: SEE Tyrants' Lobbyist, Flamboyant to the End, where Kloberg is dubbed "Washington's Most Shameless Lobbyist," : <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/02/AR2005050201380.html">www.washingtonpost.com/wp...01380.html</a> Not easy finding much online about Ward's early c.v. although DU's dunvegan clearly deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor for efforts made! I have been able to ascertain with my former colleague now at The Scotsman that the Abramoff/Ward link cited earlier is part of a substantial trail back to the early 1980s when Cairn Oil's Bill Gammel bought into Bush2's Abrusto. Ward may have been one of the legal consultants advising Gammel on the drawing up of contracts when he invested in that fiasco back in 1980. Gammel, who was knighted by Poodle in the 2005 Queen's New Year Honours and has become a 'SIR' for no apparent reason whatsoever, has been described by Blair as his 'mutual friend' with Bush2, the acquanitance going back to their days at Fettes School (Scottish equivalent of Eton or Harrow). Ward's legal appointment at Rolls Royce was backed by 'several prominent UK personal references', among which Gammel features according to my source. Several other UK papers are digging away on this story, one angle of which appears to be that before he became an MP in 1983, Blair had funds in a Costa Rican front company that part financed Gammel's Abrusto holding acquisition. Blair has always denied any direct business link with Bush2 although he has said he knew him 'from afar' via their mutual pal Gammel. ANYONE proving a Poodle Arbusto shareholding will have it made for life.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil"> EDIT: SNIP: Abramoff was one of George W Bush’s vaunted “pioneers”, having raised more than $100,000 for the president’s re-election. and James & Sarch, the London law firm that signed the $1m cheque in 1998 on behalf of its unidentified client, went out of business in 2000. Former members of the company were not available for comment. There is nothing to suggest this donation was unlawful.

From the Independent: "Keith Oliver, who described Miss Ward as one of his "closest and dearest friends", told The Independent on Sunday he had no idea what it was that she could no longer tolerate. "I spoke to her on New Year's Day and she was very happy. There was no indication of any kind of personal unhappiness," he said. Another friend, Ed Hood, who spoke to the "warm and bubbly" lawyer just before Christmas to arrange a drink, agreed: "People are saying someone must understand why or someone must have seen it coming. Absolutely not." He continued: "Everyone who met her remembered her. It was a combination of her attributes. She was immaculately turned out at all times, fiercely intelligent, funny, great company, outgoing. She had it all."
