Infiltration of files seen as extensive
Senate panel's GOP staff pried on Democrats
By Charlie Savage, Globe Staff, 1/22/2004

WASHINGTON -- Republican staff members of the US Senate Judiciary Commitee infiltrated opposition computer files for a year, monitoring secret strategy memos and periodically passing on copies to the media, Senate officials told The Globe.

From the spring of 2002 until at least April 2003, members of the GOP committee staff exploited a computer glitch that allowed them to access restricted Democratic communications without a password. Trolling through hundreds of memos, they were able to read talking points and accounts of private meetings discussing which judicial nominees Democrats would fight -- and with what tactics.

The office of Senate Sergeant-at-Arms William Pickle has already launched an investigation into how excerpts from 15 Democratic memos showed up in the pages of the conservative-leaning newspapers and were posted to a website last November.

With the help of forensic computer experts from General Dynamics and the US Secret Service, his office has interviewed about 120 people to date and seized more than half a dozen computers -- including four Judiciary servers, one server from the office of Senate majority leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, and several desktop hard drives.

But the scope of both the intrusions and the likely disclosures is now known to have been far more extensive than the November incident, staffers and others familiar with the investigation say.

The revelation comes as the battle of judicial nominees is reaching a new level of intensity. Last week, President Bush used his recess power to appoint Judge Charles Pickering to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, bypassing a Democratic filibuster that blocked a vote on his nomination for a year because of concerns over his civil rights record

For #s sake Phoenix...this is crap and you know it. Just throwing Clinton out there to justify things? What the hell is wrong with all of you. Attack the #ing issue or attack the person presenting the issue.

To continue to bring Clinton up is becoming way too cliche here. Let's say you were running Germany. If someone accused you of being anti-semitic you bring up how it was that other party, that Nazi party, that started it and you are all wrong for pointing the finger at me because you are hypocrits. See how much sense that makes. Thats how it sounds to continuously bring Clinton to the table. CLINTON #ED UP. HE IS NO LONGER IN OFFICE. TALK ABOUT THE WRONGS THAT ARE CURRENT, please.


My reference was in response to a comment made by sminniman;

"If Republicans can't be honest and not screw people over, how can one trust them to be honest with you and not screw YOU over?"

I felt perfectly justified to bring up the democrats last president in response to that comment.

Further more this is not star trek where we all just beamed down and history starts anew, we arrived where we are at partly based on the past action of others AND the reaction of the current administration which I do not always agree with but find much more palatable than the current crop of democrats.

Tell you what if you convince Zell Miller to run on democratic ticket, I could support him over Bush - until that happens I'll stay with the current party in power.
