HP CEO Allowed 'Sting' on CNet reporter

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ouch-that-stung dept.

Mark writes "The Washington Post, reporting on Hewlett-Packard's Chairman Patricia Dunn and alleged spying on other HP board members, has obtained e-mails that implicate the CEO, Mark Hurd, who approved an elaborate 'sting' operation on a CNet reporter." From the article: HP's leak investigation involved planting false documents, following HP board members and journalists, watching their homes, and obtaining calling records for hundreds of phone numbers belonging to HP directors, journalists and their spouses, according to a consultant's report and the e-mails."

    I am really sick and tired of people say that Bush and his rodeo are "suddenly" recording every phone call in the country. If you really think that Bush started doing this, than you are an idiot. I mean come on. They have been filtering EVERY phone call in the country for DECADES!!! I mean like from the 70's. They have been checking and recording all phone calls in the country if certain key words get used so that the conversation can be review by a person. Any time you say good phrases like bomb, president, and stuff like that, your call gets recorded and flagged. I don't care about it cause I love this country, and I don't think that the president is that bad(FLAME TIME).

    So grow up, get over yourself, and realize that you can blame Bush for everything.
