Playing With The Phones

James O’Keefe tells his side of the story. Chris Good corrects:

At first impression, the New Orleans escapade looked to everyone in the media--myself included--like an attempt to wiretap, or at least damage, the office's phone lines. That the event was "apparently" a wiretapping attempt was noted consistently on this blog; that aspect wasn't asserted as fact in posting on O'Keefe's arrest. Still, I'll cop to having misread this event (assuming O'Keefe is telling the truth here, and that the unnamed law enforcement official who spoke to reporters has accurate information) before more information came to light, along with pretty much everyone else.

Along these lines, the Dish shouldn't have written "wiretapping" in the title of this post.
