2006 News Headline: Abortion Doctor Wants O’Reilly Probe
Posted on Nov 5, 2006

From cbsnews.com

A Kansas abortion doctor wants a special prosecutor to probe the means by which records about his patients ended up as fodder on the Bill O’Reilly show.

AP:

An abortion doctor plans to ask for an investigation of the state attorney general and Bill O’Reilly over comments by the Fox television host that he got information from Kansas abortion records, the doctor’s attorneys said Saturday.

Dr. George Tiller said he will ask the Kansas Supreme Court on Monday to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and take possession of the records of 90 patients from two clinics.

Attorney General Phill Kline obtained the records recently after a two-year battle that prompted privacy concerns. He has said he sought the records to review them for evidence of possible crimes including rape and illegal abortions.

4. Yes, I think the attorney general got busted for doing it.
I need to look that up to confirm it, though.

3. So AG Kline obtained patient records to go on a Rightwing fishing expedition and somehow
O'Reilly ended up having information about patients that shouldn't have been accessible to him?

Is that what this says?

5. Sue Fox and O'Reilly for several billion bucks.
You could make a really good case that they have incited Tiller's murder for commercial purposes.
