I would be amazed by this if I didn't see this every day.
"A group of computer hackers said yesterday that they had accessed a Yahoo e-mail account of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, publishing some of her private communications to expose what appeared to be her use of a personal account for government business."
This does not surprise me, people use their personal email accounts everyday for business passing confidential and private information. Email is not a secure means of communication.
My favorite line in the article is the following;
"McLeod's Anchorage attorney, Donald C. Mitchell, said Palin declined to comply with a public records request in June to divulge 1,100 e-mails sent to and from her personal accounts, citing executive privilege."

Respectfully, I dont understand your point.
Are you jaded about hacking? Sure, i can see that.
Are you non-plussed that quote "people use their personal email accounts everyday for business passing confidential and private information. Email is not a secure means of communication." and this fact is ok in our era of Homeland Security keeping lists of my Public Library checkouts but not paying attention to a State Gov communicating executive secrets using bloody Yahoo?
Well, at least McCain admits that he doesnt know how to use email.
Sorry if i sound angry i'm just tired of this woman. She makes me feel like Karl Rove is poking me in the chest and making fun of me.
Every man and woman is a star.
OMG, what if (gasp) someone used their business account (and computer, and fax, and copier, and telephone) for personal stuff!
OMG2, I'm writing this from work! I hope no-one thinks I'm passing secrets....
