A onetime conservative activist at the University of Minnesota-Morris is one of four men charged with tampering with phones in the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.

It's not yet clear whether the plan was a prank intended to be captured on camera or a more serious attempt at political espionage, as claimed by state Democrats who dubbed it "Louisiana Watergate."

Basel was the editor of a conservative magazine published at the Morris campus and one of more than a dozen College Republicans who attended the 2005 presidential inauguration.

Basel also was the campaign manager for Minnesota Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, three years ago. Ingebrigtsen said he's talked to Basel only a few times since then and was "baffled" by his former aide's arrest.

I've been wondering where this kid is getting his money.

I'd be watching, but I have an audio tape I have transcribe before Prime Time with Barack Obama.

These are political criminals with extensive party ties.

Anyone who thinks they don't is naive.
