Watching the HP Detectives
For those of you who can't get enough of yesterday's interminable Congressional hearings into the dying HP board scandal, C-SPAN how has links up for the full streaming video. The first chunk of Part 1 is mostly investigators taking the Fifth, but then it segues into Congress doing mid-term election-year posturing using Patty Dunn as a backdrop. Part 2 is more of same, and then Mark Hurd shows up and is largely slept through.

I found some information related to the HP investigation. The person that Dunn apparently hired to do the pretexting investigation, Ron DeLia, wrote in his newsletter in 1999 that the methods HP is accused of, namely using a social security number to pretend to be someone, are "identity theft" and "Congress made identity theft a felony [in 1999]."
I've written it up here, with links to the newsletter and related commentary:
