  It's Known as Collusion

  Collusion - price fixing, kickbacks, and all the misrepresentation that goes along with said secretive practices - has always been illegal. This is what Spitzer exposed. Please take some time to research all of the charges (against all of the companies involved), and you will find that he wasn't off track. I wholeheartedly agree the expose aligned with his political aspirations, however...he was not in the wrong, and I am only surprised someone was not sniffing around prior to Spitzer's pouncing on the obvious.

  Eliot Spitzer's Witch Hunts

  Spitzer's witch-hunting style is one leadership trait that his advisors should
  caution him about. Nobody likes a witch hunt - except extremists - and
  extremism in any direction is unhealthy for the majority of people living on
  this planet.
  
  Spitzer's investigation of Senator Bruno is one recent example of his mad dog
  style and waste of taxpayer's money.
  
  I am all for correcting abuse of legal and industry guidelines; the bad
  behavior of public and private sector leaders; and, of course, actual law
  breakers. However, I don't condone the style of uncovering unwanted
  behavior that Spitzer seems to relish, especially when his efforts yield no
  actual results.
  
  Instead of spending the money it will take to publicly flog a couple of
  insurance industry giants, he should be working tirelessly to correct - through
  effective means - the most unsavory practices of the entire industry, and he
  should do so in concert with other governors, senators and congressmen.
  
  Allowing Spitzer to operate freely on his air-headed "projects" (can we ever
  forget the driver licenses for illegal residents???) is, from my perspective, not
  only a costly enterprise but a slippery slope to traverse when at the mercy of
  a zealot.
  
  Perhaps there are courses the Governor could take, or a truly gifted tutor that
  could help him develop a better sense of proportion in his current and future
  undertakings.
