"Below are excerpts of e-mails, obtained by The State newspaper in December, between Gov. Mark Sanford's personal e-mail account and Maria, a woman in Buenos Aires, Argentina."

The thing that puzzles me is how a newspaper or anyone, outside of a law enforcement agency conducting a criminal investigation, get hold of a person's private emails?

Good question, one that the good guv should have asked himself as he hit the send button over and over again. Let's not forget, he is not a well liked individual and maybe that extends to his staff. Like any employee using company provided equipment, laptop, servers, phone lines, one should not have the expectation that anything transmitted via said equipment is the property of the owner, in this case the state. Unless he is "discussing State business, it may be fair game.
