1. Bush admits to the presence of secret CIA prisons. The existence of these prisons has been vehemently denied for far longer than just this presidency.
2. To catch a leaker, Hewlett-Packard's chairwoman spied on the home-phone records of its board of directors. Articles found here and here. I think this is setting the stage for another court battle regarding corporate secrets vs. individual privacy. However, I have to admit the idea of Tom Perkins taking a 'moral high road' is vastly amusing. Even if he weren't a venture capitalist, he is among a select group of vultures who represent a souless lack of professional ethics and morality in this bay.
3. On Monday evening I was commenting to the Enigma about my alarm in the rise of stock-tip oriented SPAM filling my mail box and then I read this and this. Of course I think anyone who would spend money on a stock that arrived unsolicited in their email box is pretty cracked anyway. A fool and his money...A mayonnaise jar in the back garden or a stuffed mattress are both looking pretty good at the moment.
