U.S. representatives have harsh words for Hewlett-Packard at Thursday's subcommittee hearing regarding the company's investigation of reporters and its own employees and board members.
During questioning, former Chairman Patricia Dunn attempts to distance herself from the details of HP's probe. Several others decline to testify, pleading their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
Fred Adler, HP's information technology security investigator, testifies that tracing personal e-mail is done at HP and that he himself suggested the method be used on a CNET News.com reporter.
Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) asks Dunn about phony e-mail sent to a CNET News.com reporter. HP's investigators were trying to get the reporter to divulge her HP source by attaching an e-mail tracer to her computer.
Under questioning by Rep. Jan Schakowsky, former Chairman Patricia Dunn said most corporations have security departments that do "detective-type work."
In her testimony before a congressional subcommittee, Patricia Dunn clearly regretted the spying she unleashed on journalists, HP directors and employees.
CNET you think just because your reporter was involved that its a license to over blow this story. YOUR WRONG. Please report the news responsibly and with the proper amount of coverage. I know thats hard for you to do. HP should be commended for the way they have come forth with the details. So get off it and move on!
You must be joking! They only came forward when they had no other choice. Think how long it has taken. Think about the first board steps with Dunn and only when HP had to come forward to testify did they force Dunn to resign. The top lawyer takes the fifth probably so he does not have to cover for Hurd.
