Oh to be free of Linda Tripp and her lies. This was the ostensible infringement of Tripp’s privacy. The government did not disclose her arrest record. The government attempted to suggest she had no arrest record. It was her step-mother who blew the whistle on her, not the government. And it was old-fashioned, factual reporting that disclosed that Tripp lied to get a top security clearance. From Altercation, link courtesy of Atrios.
Followup:
It seems the Linda Tripp story has been removed from CNN. That is, you can follow Altercation's link to the story (at least for now), but if you search on CNN's website for "government Tripp leaked," 3 words that appeared in that article, the most recent story is about Linda Tripp being treated for breast cancer, from March of 2002. As Atrios says, "CNN has done the honorable thing and disappeared its error-filled Linda Tripp story from its website, without any correction or acknowledgment that I can find." I don't think it qualifies as exactly honorable to retract a story without acknowledging your mistake... but retracting it is certainly a first step.
