Response to Dasein (see below)

I think the turning point on this one is going to be how public the information was. The Gov's people claim that the hacker accessed a password protected portion of the server. There's no question that goes beyond the line. The Angelides people say that they accessed a link which they used to access other information. This is just guesswork but it sounds like they may have used the URL in the link to access tapes not available through the link itself. To me, that's "hacking."

Either way, it looks bad for Phil that they didn't acknowledge the fact that they released the tape.

Comments:
This entire charade really demonstrates that the LA Times is perfectly willing to accept basically any information which could, somehow, damage the Governor's re-election. This tape is not especially newsworthy, yet the LAT was happy to take it from the Angelides campaign and run it as a somehow 'major' peice.
How times have changed since the fifties...
 
Really, not newsworthy? I'm a HUGE Arnold fan but I thought his comments we a bit touchy. Probably best summed up as being cringe-worthy.
