Tracing the HP Fiasco Back to Carly

While HP chair Patricia Dunn still refuses to concede that the internal investigation of HP boardmembers using dubious techniques was wrong, it seems ever clearer that this can all be traced back to HP ex-CEO Carly Fiorina.

The latest evidence: A speech Carly gave at MIT in October of 2005 -- long after being fired -- where she critized unnamed directors for leaking, saying, "When confidential board conversations become public and what should stay inside the boardroom goes outside the boardroom, then a very important bond of trust is broken."

You'd almost think something was still really bugging her.
