Schwarzenegger Opponents' Campaign Acknowledges Downloading
Tue Sep 12 2006 09:48:43 ET

Democrat Phil Angelides' gubernatorial campaign acknowledged Monday that it
downloaded the digital audio file containing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's
controversial private remarks on ethnicity, but said it did nothing
inappropriate and accessed the recording through the governor's "publicly
available" Web site, it was reported Tuesday. 

But Schwarzenegger's legal affairs secretary, Andrea Lynn Hoch, said earlier
that the access was "unauthorized" and that an internal audit discovered the
six-minute audio file was hacked from the private computer system of the
Governor's Office on Aug. 29 and 30. 

Angelides campaign manager Cathy Calfo confirmed to the SACRAMENTO BEE that
her staff used one computer to access the audio clip on those days. But she
said her staff did not hack into the Governor's Office server and that the
file was widely available on Schwarzenegger's Web site.
