" I reported the other day that your cell phone records are on sale online for anyone to buy, without your permission. Well, this morning AMERICAblog bought former presidential candidate, and former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO (SACEUR), General Wesley Clark's cell phone records for one hundred calls made over three days in November 2005, no questions asked. (Clark's cell phone provider is Omnipoint Communications, which seems to be related to T-Mobile.) All we needed was General Clark's cell phone number and our credit card, and 24 hours later we had one hundred calls the general made on his cell phone in November. The calls included a number of calls to Arkansas, to foreign countries, and at least one call to a prominent reporter at the Washington Post. To ensure that we actually had General Clark's correct cell phone number, we called the number this morning and the voice mail recording that answered said: "Hi, this is Wes Clark, leave a message [unintelligible]." We have subsequently called that number and spoken to a real person to confirm its authenticity, and to make sure General Clark was aware of this issue and what we were doing."

" I bought my records via the Web site LocateCell http://www.locatecell.com/ for $110. We bought General Clark's records via the Web site CellTolls http://www.celltolls.com/ for $89.95. It is possible that both sites are run by the same company. Interestingly, we tried to get the cell phone records of other high-profile Washingtonians like ABC's George Stephanopoulos, the Washington Post's Dana Milbank, and the New York Time's Adam Nagourney, but LocateCell was unable to provide me with their records (possibly because those three use Verizon as their cell phone service, or possibly because LocateCell was on to me). We are in the process of trying to obtain additional records."

Someone could buy jenna and barbara bush's records pretty easily, I bet. I'm sure that terrorists won't use THIS

Maybe they can find the number of that coke dealer Barbara left her license with so she can get it back.

You need the number to get the records. You can't just call them up and say "Hi. I want Jenna Bush's phone records."

1/12/2006 8:13:00 PM

and you dont think they could easily get a young woman's phone number?

find her friends, etc, and grab the number from their phones

i know the secret service watches them, but I'd presume that one friend out, and the ss spying probably drops off

and besides, jenna and barbara are just examples. if they can get wes clark's # through the media, they can probably get anyone else's

Heaven forbid that the terrorists gain the ability to make crank calls to elected officials at all hours of the night.

That wasn't a rhetorical question. Seriously, how the fuck is this legal?

I think it might fall into the whole internet/email category of unprotected communication. Just a guess though.
