Word of Warning

About 45 minutes ago, Fujimori contacted me through e-mail and wanted me to spread the news that you were having an affair with a certain DOJ official. I promptly returned the e-mail and told him to shove it since I'm not a gossip mag. He got pretty angry. I don't know how much of a threat he actually is but it's clear to me that you have enemies. Watch your step, yeah? Police with enemies have a nasty way of turning up dead.

ENCRYPTED AND SECURED - TXT MSG FRM HSAITOH

[saitoh_hajime]

If you show me an officer or a member of the press, for that matter, who has no enemies, then you are showing me an individual who is not doing his/her duty.

Speaking of duty...

As a member of the press corps, you have every right to attend and cover interceptions that are made public. I will not, and ought not suggest that you do otherwise. The intercept notice that you forwarded to me is out of my jurisdiction, and therefore is not something I can or will comment on, other than to suggest that an extra measure of caution would be warranted if you determine that coverage is appropriate.

Keep your eyes open.

I don't know how to do that fancy encrypting stuff, so I'll keep this brief. I have no intention in attending. I think it's bloody well stupid to allow the public to attend when things could get out of hand no matter how well trained the police force is.

That being said, I will of course be reporting on the results of that no matter how many complaints certain officers lodge against me.

Finally, if what you say is true, you must have many enemies, sir.

Watch your back.
