McCain campaign sells info-loaded Blackberry to FOX 5 reporter

"Private information at bargain prices.  It was a high-tech flub at the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters in Arlington
when Fox 5’s Investigative Reporter Tisha Thompson bought a Blackberry device containing confidential campaign 
information.

It started with a snippet we read on page A23 in Thursday’s Washington Post.
The McCain-Palin campaign was going to sell its used office inventory at low prices."

And

"When we charged them up in the newsroom, we found one of the $20 Blackberry phones contained more than 50 phone 
numbers for people connected with the McCain-Palin campaign,
as well as hundreds of emails from early September until a few days after election night."
