Its not illegal as they were written while she was governor of Alaska and can be legally requested, but the whole thing leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
The Haze thinks this is just trash journalism and actually a form of bullying.
We can see how this flowed in the minds of the journos of the Guardian - the e-mail avalanche of diplomatic telegramns that found their way to Wikileaks was journalism - this isn't.
That the Guardian then chose to publish all the e-mails online and invite people to poke around in them marking with labels like 'personal' or 'uninteresting' is also very dissapointing.
The Guardian has done down quite a lot in my estimation - this sort of stuff belongs in the Daily Star.
