Boardroom Spying Debacle at HP
theodp writes "As word spread that HP was dumping Board member George Keyworth for press leaks, Newsweek broke the bigger story: HP Chairwoman Patricia Dunn was so obsessed with finding the leaker that she authorized a team of independent electronic-security experts to spy on the phone records of calls made from HP Directors' home and private cell phones. Not only that, phone records were obtained via pretexting, the controversial practice of obtaining information under false pretenses. After Dunn laid out the surveillance scheme for the Board last May, HP Director Tom Perkins quit on the spot, characterizing Dunn's actions as illegal and unethical. HP is also coming under fire for playing dumb to the SEC about the reasons behind Perkins' resignation. Perkins, who helped launch HP's computer division in the 60's, has asked the FTC, FCC and the Justice Department to investigate."
I would never vote for Hillary, and I'm a registered Democrat. And its _not_ because shes a woman...
Of course, we all know that Cheney/Rove are incapable of subtlety, so they couldn't *possibly* have deliberately leaked the information to Armitage with the full knowledge that Armitage would then leak it to the press.
No, that can't possibly be what happened. I credit our leaders with far too much intelligence.
This is very insightful. You may also be interested to know that it was mostly Jews that created the Atom Bomb. War, hatred and destruction are clearly an invention of the evil heebs.
I only say this as a Jewish woman, of course.
