The argument in Roe v. Wade<\/a> was about Americans<\/a>‘ right to privacy<\/a>. This isn’t an article about abortion, but I think it is interesting to remember that argument in light of everything that is happening in America today–the NSA<\/a> is spying on Americans, the IRS<\/a> is targeting Americans, political opposition is being targeted, etc. Don’t Americans have the right to express themselves privately? Are we losing that right if we don’t agree with the people in power?<\/p>\n

On Monday, CBS in Philadelphia<\/a> reported that Sharyl Attkisson<\/a>\u2019s computer had been hacked. Ms. Attkisson is a CBS reporter who was pursuing stories on both Fast and Furious<\/a> and the attack at Benghazi<\/a>. I posted an article<\/a> about her in May concerning her problems with the Obama Administration because of her reporting.<\/p>\n

The article reports Ms. Attkisson’s comments on the hacking::<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever was in my work computer, the only thing I was working on were work-related things with CBS were big stories I guess during the time period in questions were I guess Benghazi and \u2018Fast and Furious.\u2019 The intruders did have access to personal information including passwords to my financial accounts and so on, but didn\u2019t tamper with those, so they weren\u2019t interested in stealing my identity or doing things to my finances. So people can decide on their own what they might have been trying to do in there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cWe\u2019re continuing to move forward aggressively, CBS News takes this very seriously, as do I. I think whenever an unauthorized party comes into the home of an American, whether it\u2019s any private citizen or journalist and gets in their house, searches their computers \u2014 these are computers my family uses \u2014 and they\u2019re inserting or removing material for whatever their reasons are, I think that\u2019s a really serious and disturbing matter and we\u2019re gonna follow it up and keep pursuing it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how far CBS News takes this investigation. I have a feeling that they may not like what they find and may be reluctant to report it.<\/p>\n
