"How could the Post claim it had valid permission, without knowing who was granting that permission? This may be a violation of the federal internet secrecy statute. It is certainly a violation of the website’s privacy rules, which are presented to all users."

Exactly.

I am late learning of this story (that plame thing captures my attention, LOL!).

...We were authorized to view them, and it was appropriate to do so under the circumstances.....

My impression is that the WaPo wants the average reader reader to believe JimRob granted permission.

...The Post asserts that it obtained the password to enter this private area from "an intermediary who was acting on behalf of MD4BUSH." But at the same time, the Post claims it does not know who MD4BUSH is, much less that he may have been at that time the Communications Director of the Maryland Democrat Party....

At the same time, it inserts enough "wiggle room" to protect itself in court if need be.
