You corrected framed the situation and phrased your description of the WaPost's behavior quite well.
Nice job.
MD4Bush Ping!
Why is the FR making an issue about this? Is the FR being accused of something?
Awesome!@!!!!!!

Suspicion grows. There is mounting evidence that the Washington Post collaborated with a Maryland Democrat operative, possibly in violation of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, to entrap an aide to Governor Robert Ehrlich. That was done using the FR id "MD4BUSH".
The newspaper's conduct has been a disgrace. A February 9, 2005 Washington Post story accusing Joe Steffen never mentioned that their reporter used MD4BUSH's password to log on to Free Republic. Only months later, when there emerged a threat of an investigation requested by the Governor's chief counsel, did they admit to using the MD4BUSH id.
Are we to believe the Washington Post now when they claim they only read the private posts as their reporter surreptitiously accessed the MD4BUSH account, a criminal act on its own if done without proper authorization? Can anyone believe their assertion they do not know the identity of MD4BUSH, and were only working through an "intermediary"?
The unsubstantiated assertions made by the Washington Post are piling up, while their credibility is collapsing.
Congratulations to Kristinn for getting this story out.
The Washington Post has been desperately trying to sweep the whole thing under the rug.
When a newspaper is implicated in breaking the law to help one political party and slime another, they have descended pretty far.
They also lied in several "news" stories about who was spreading the sex rumors about the Mayor. It was not the Republican, as the Post pretended, who spread the rumors, it was the Democrat operator, MD4BUSH, who was acting as an agent provacateur.
It's bad enough for political operatives to slime their opponents and lie about them, but when a once respected newspaper joins in, that's really disgusting. The reporter should be fired at the very least, and so should the editors who authorized this whole scam.
