In addition to the two Yahoo accounts that were already known -- including one that was hacked earlier this month -- the Washington Post has learned that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had a third private e-mail account on a closed network that she and her staff used to communicate outside of the government's official e-mail system.
The owner of ITS Alaska, a tech company based in Wasilla, told the Post that a discreet e-mail system was set up last spring under the domain that Palin had used for her campaign for governor -- PalinForGovernor.com -- and that access to the system was confined to "her closest confidants and co-workers and advisers and the person she sleeps with."
An ITS worker said there appeared to have been 10 to 15 addresses set up under the domain, but they were all shut down on September 17 after a hacker penetrated one of Palin's private Yahoo e-mail accounts and posted some of its contents online.
Frank Bailey, a Palin aide who was said to maintain the system before it was closed, denied that the domain was being used for Palin and aides to communicate and said the domain hadn't been used at all for a long time. But the McCain-Palin campaign contradicted his claim with a statement it released to the Post.
