FreeRepublic.com is calling for an investigation of the role the Washington Post played in the now infamous exchange that led to the firing of an Ehrlich administration worker.
The Post has disclosed that one of its reporters was given the private sign-on information for a poster known as MD4BUSH. That poster was engaged in a on-line conversation thread with Joseph Steffen, who was later fired for posting about rumors involving Mayor O'Malley.
The operators of the website think the Washington Post reporter's actions may have violated the electronic communications privacy act when he signed on using the MD4BUSH sign-on information.
The Washington Post says it did nothing wrong.
