CNN: Obama's cell phone records breached

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Records from a cell phone used by President-elect Obama were improperly breached, apparently by employees of the cell phone company, his transition team said Thursday.

Spokesman Robert Gibbs said the team was notified Wednesday by Verizon Wireless that it appears an employee improperly went through billing records for the phone, which Gibbs said Obama no longer uses.

In an internal company e-mail obtained by CNN, Verizon Wireless President and CEO Lowell McAdam disclosed Wednesday that "the personal wireless account of President-elect Barack Obama had been accessed by employees not authorized to do so" in recent months.

Steroid Hearings


Droning on in the background of my house.

My take: Roger Clemens is not the smartest person in the room.

Imagine if Congress spent as much time on Bush & the telecoms eviscerating the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution?

Nah.

Glenn Greenwald, salon.com: Amnesty Day for Bush and lawbreaking telecoms

Roger Clemens is more likely to get jail time for lying to Congress than President Bush will ever be for his multiple lies and lawbreaking. Disgraceful.
