Re: Via Slashdot: House Panel Screw-Up Reveals Whistleblower Email Addresses

from would-be whistleblowers in the Justice Department. The U.S. attorney
firings scandal had shown that much was amiss in the Department, and with
the danger of retaliation very real, the committee had set up a form on the
committee's website for people to blow the whistle privately about abuses

Lie or bias? If this is a scandal, what was it when Clinton fired the
entire department?


addresses revealed in the email. Some of the email addresses appear to be
transparently fake, but there's also, much more troubling, a
vice_president () whitehouse gov carbon copied on the email, which is the
public email address for Vice President Dick Cheney. In other words, an
email containing the email addresses of all the whistleblowers who had
written in to the committee tipline was sent to public email address of Vice
President Cheney.

This is only "troubling" if you're stupid enough to believe Cheney has
ever visited this site and submitted "his" e-mail address OR that you
actually believe Cheney checks, watches or cares about the e-mail he
receives at this address. In other words, its "troubling" if you're
stupid. But then this whole story is only predicated on a "scandal" if
your stupid enough to buy into the lame-dick demo's spin.

Oh damn, was this is another political post to funsec? Trolling?
