Why is that the Left not only campaigns against the Bush Admistration for alleged violations of Privacy rights against Americans and our enemy Jihadists but goes to the extreme length of blowing the cover of Covert US activities like those used by the National Security Agency used to track terrorist financial activity on this pretext(Thank You Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times)? Additionally Dana Priest also of a MSMer exposes the existance of secret prisons to hold Terrorists in Eastern European Countries thus weakening our Allies' resolve to help us fight the War on Terror. The Left claims that the US Government is using Public Library Cards to spy on American citizens but to date the only Americans who have had their privy rights violated are those working to protect us in our National Security Agencies and Center Right Conservatives like Governor Palin and Bill O'Reilly. The Factor's website was hacked into exposing the Privacy of Fox News' Audience. The Left among other things is guilty of the Pot calling the Kettle Black. Here is the Story on O'Reilly's Website Hack from the Uk Register:
-
Two days after someone broke into the email account of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, unknown intruders have hacked the website of conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly and posted personal details of more than 200 of its subscribers.
- The breach into BillOreilly.com came as retaliation for remarks O'Reilly made on Fox News condemning the attack on Palin's Yahoo email account, according to Wikileaks, a site that makes it easy for whistleblowers, hackers and anyone else to leak documents.
- As proof, Wikileaks posted a screenshot of the BillOreilly.com administrative interface that showed the names, email addresses, passwords, and home town of 20 subscribers of the website. In all, information belonging to 205 subscribers was intercepted, according to Eric Marston, CTO of Nox Solutions, the company that maintained the O'Reilly website.
- The hack came in response to comments O'Reilly made on Fox News about the posting of contents of Palin's email account, including pictures of her daughter and her contact list.
- "I'm not going to mention the website that posted this, but it's one of those despicable, slimy, scummy websites," O'Reilly said, according to this snippet from YouTube. "Everybody knows where this stuff is, OK, and they know the people who run the website, so why can't they go there tonight to the guy's house who runs it, put him in cuffs and take him down and book him?"
- It's evident from the remark that no one bothered to tell O'Reilly that Wikileaks, the first site to publish the Palin email, is a multi-national, bulletproof organization that has successfully withstood serious take-down efforts before.
-
According to Marston, the hackers were able to access the unsecured list by trying a large number of variations of the website's administrative URL. He said all affected members have received an email and a phone call informing them of the breach and urging them to change their password anywhere they may have used it. No credit card information was stolen, and the site has since been completely locked down, Marston said.

While the information exposed on Wikileaks may seem minimal, it has the potential to imperil the BillOreilly.com subscribers listed in ways they may not have anticipated. A case in point is Carolyn Carpenter, 68, of Henderson, Nevada. The list showed she used a six-letter word from the English language to access her account. Early Friday evening, when told she should change all accounts that used the password, she replied: "Oh damn, I use it all over the place." ®
