What confuses me is the whole Family vs. Estate confrontation, starting from the moment the Will has been pronounced. I mean shouldn't they be on the same side of the fence (i.e. MJ's)? And so far it looks more like there's some sort of cold war between them, so i'm kinda wondering if it's a real confrontation (in which case we need to nderstand who's TRULY representing MJ's intrests if any!) or a staged show with TMZ playing the role of a public crier (seriously, how do they get those documents?!)
As for this particular article:
- shouldn't it be UCLA or even LAPD officials to stand up to the request for these documents due to physician/patient privilege and the ongoing investigation. Such opposition would be 100 times more authoritative and logical in the eyes of the world, rather than this done by the estate laywers and compromising the Jackson family with a doubt of their good intentions.
-in the letter it is mentioned that including MJ's SSN in the subpoena is a clear violation of his privacy, as such highly confidential information may not be part of any public record, BUT... don't we already know his SSN from SSDI? Now i'm not sure if SSN should remain confidential after the person passes away or only while alive? After all we could also see MJ's drivers licence which is considered a private record and cannot be disclosed to the public while the person is alive in order to prevent any fraudulent actions.

So the question is, why to put such a stress on keeping it a secret while it's all over the internet... smells of a drama... or did they fill another (REAL) number in the subpoena? :?
