Re: [privacy] California: Angelides Campaign Staffer DownloadedGovernor's Comments

Why would the CHP open an investigation?  Is the 'internet highway' their
realm, too?

As for the extra bonus fun story, could it have happened to a more deserving
company?

DownloadedGovernor's Comments

Via The San Francisco Chronicle.

The manager of Democrat Phil Angelides' gubernatorial campaign acknowledged
Tuesday that two staff members downloaded a controversial audio file
containing private comments of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and leaked it to
the media.

Cathy Calfo, Angeldies' campaign manager, said however, that the campaign
did nothing improper and insisted that the file was left available on a
public Web site.

"There was no hacking, no password, no expertise required," she told a news
conference.

The California Highway Patrol has opened an investigation into whether the
file was obtained illegally. Calfo said no one at the campaign had been
contacted by the CHP.
