Smoking Gun E-mail: H-P Bosses Warned In Advance

Via CBS5 and the Associated Press.

Lawmakers diving into the spying scandal at Hewlett-Packard Co. came up with a seemingly damaging e-mail: An HP investigator had warned higher-ups that the company's boardroom leak probe was possibly illegal and likely threatened the computer maker's reputation.

The whistleblower tried to stop HP's heist of personal phone records seven months before it erupted into a national scandal, according to the e-mail document released Thursday.
