Posting of GOP delegate data investigated
By Curt Anderson, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Secret Service is investigating the posting on the
Internet of names and personal information about thousands of delegates
to the Republication National Convention in New York, officials said Monday.
The probe focuses on anonymous postings on a Web site operated by the
Independent Media Center, which describes itself as "a network of
collectively run media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate and
passionate tellings of the truth."
The American Civil Liberties Union, whose lawyers are representing the
Web site's administrators, gave the Secret Service the e-mail addresses
of the administrators in a letter Monday. But the ACLU pointed out that
they are not responsible for postings of lists of GOP delegates because
the site guarantees anonymity to anyone who wants it.
"This type of investigation is really a form of intimidation and a
message to activists that they will pay a price for speaking out," said
Ann Beeson, the ACLU's associate legal counsel. "The posting of publicly
available information about people who are in the news should not
trigger an investigation."
Secret Service officials would not comment beyond confirming that the
investigation was continuing. But federal law enforcement officials,
speaking on condition of anonymity because the probe is active, said
there were concerns that posting of the delegate lists could subject the
delegates to harassment, acts of violence or identity theft.
There are several lists of Republican National Convention delegates
posted on the Indymedia site, including one listing more than 2,000 of
them. Included are names, home addresses, e-mail addresses and the New
York-area hotels where many are staying.
"The delegates should know not only what people think of the platform
they will ratify, but that they are not welcome in New York City," said
one posting, first reported Monday by The New York Times.
A federal grand jury in New York has subpoenaed a Web hosting service,
Calyx Internet Access, for Indymedia contact information. Calyx
President Nicholas Merrill said he refused initially to voluntarily give
the information to the Secret Service, asking instead for the subpoena
to protect clients' privacy. Calyx is also being representing legally by
the ACLU.
