BREITBART.. Landrieu: Phone allegations 'unsettling' for staff
There is actually some new information here, but of course no mention of O'Keefe's Breitbart ties.


NEW ORLEANS (AP)—A conservative activist who posed as a pimp to target the community-organizing group ACORN and the son of a federal prosecutor were among four men arrested and accused of trying to tamper with phones at Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office.

Activist James O'Keefe, 25, recorded two of the other suspects with his cell phone as they walked into the office dressed like telephone repairman and said they needed to fix problems with the phone system, according to an FBI affidavit.

A federal law enforcement official said one of the suspects was picked up in a car a couple of blocks away with a listening device that could pick up transmissions. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not part of an FBI affidavit that described the circumstances of the case.

O'Keefe said "veritas," Latin for truth, as he left a suburban jail Tuesday with suspects Stan Dai and Joseph Basel, both 24. All declined to comment.

"There will be a time for that," Dai said.

As he got into a cab outside the jail, O'Keefe said, "The truth shall set me free." His biography on a Web site where he blogs says he works at VeritasVisuals.com, though that Web site does not currently work.

9. They should but they won't.
Benevolence will be the response, which will further embolden the 'militia' traitors while further embittering at least one member of the Democratic base.

8. Dropping him like a hot potato
How adorable. Posting an AP story instead of opinion commentary. Suddenly, Andrew Breitbart doesn't know James O'Keefe from a stranger on the street.
