Verizon Wireless has now officially accepted the fact that some of its staff was snooping on Obama’s voice mail and messages from an older cell phone account that the president elect no longer uses.

"We were notified yesterday that employees had accessed the records of an old cell phone no longer in use," the Obama aide said. "No voice or e-mails were listened to or read."

Analysts say that such a move might have enabled Verizon employees to see whom Obama called, how long he conversed with them and when he called them. All employees involved with the incident have been put on immediate paid leave.
