486848 2006-09-23 16:00:00 In the current debacle on interoffice security and sting-phishing operations at Hewlett Packard, there have come some really goofy assertions and defenses offered .

The stink goes all the way to the top ranks of HP . . . to the CEO hisself . . . . . . . . . . interestingly, he MAY get off with the "doh" defense ( . siliconvalley . com/gmsv/2006/09/apparently_the_ . html" target="_blank">blogs . siliconvalley . com) .

"Mole-hunting ( . siliconvalley . com/mld/siliconvalley/15573073 . htm" target="_blank">www . siliconvalley . com)? . . . we ain't got no stinking mole-hunting badges!"

{ref to: . . . . . . . new disclosures each day about HP's ill-starred leak investigation, it's clear the company was willing to use any means necessary to finger the mole on its board of directors . ( . siliconvalley . com/gmsv/2006/09/walls_of_storie . html" target="_blank">blogs . siliconvalley . com)}

"The buck never got to my desk" is another strategy he seems to be employing .
