News flash: there is no right to privacy for almost all business records in the hands of third parties

although one would not know if from this editorial from the denizens at the The Downtown Font of Knowledge (as annointed by one of their own columnists) a/k/a The Virginian Pilot, the local paper. There are several instances Congress has, by statute, accorded varying levels of protection in education, employment record, and health care. No such protection has been extended to phone records.

UPDATE: Dr. Rusty thinks the leak may have been planned to force the Dems into the open.

UPDATE DEUX: Meanwhile, the hysteria continues over at Moonbat Central where the theme seems to be "don't let either the facts or the law get in the way of a good rant."

Phone records record origination and termination phone numbers. They do not record WHO called and WHO answered. We're not where voice identification or biometric readers markers will be included on call detail.
