Who is we? I don't think you should speak on all of our behalfs.

Spelling error was a typo. Pushed submit and it was too late. So nice of you to point it out though.

Who said the information was obtained by breaking fingers. No, finger breaking is not alright. But that is not what happened here and that is exactly the point.

The press is all over it 'cause they got back what they do to others. When have you ever heard of this kind of outcry when reporters use "pre-texting" to obtain this kind of information?

Yet, a company uses tactics that are less than applaudable and the press freaks out. Business is tough.

Again, I don't know the whole story, but what I have read states that Dunn hired investigators to find out who on the board was leaking secret corporate information. And the investigators withdrew information by "pre-texting" to be someone else.

Sounds to me like the Board had it in for Dunn and let the Press do the rest.

The word "pre-texting" doesn't appear to be spelled properly here. I would think that "pretexting" is more appropriate as in the "investigators gained information on the board memebers under the 'pretext' of being a board member. Therefore the investigators used a 'pretexting' method of gaining information"

So, I will state again that it appears (notice the word "appears;" I can only see what is shown to me) that all of this crying is over the fact that the reporters and board members were being investigated by private investigators using the same techniques that reporters use to gain information. And we are all presuming that Dunn told the investigators to break the law (I still cannot determine what law) in order to gain the desired outcome. And now Dunn is to blame because some reporters and Board members had thier privacy intruded upon.

Where is it that we are guarenteed privacy? Especially in the work place. I see this nowher in the Constituion. This was not the government gaining information without a warrent. This was a civil issue in which the head of a very large corporation was seeking to protect the corporation in which she was hired to protect.

I am not saying that what Dunn did was right or wrong, I just don't know. I fail to see the point in this indictment.

Finally, using the moral high road for your justifcation of damning our "Leadership Elite", and placing everyone else in the same catagory as your "have nots" is self-serving and elitist.
