At Coeur d'Alene Press online, Managing Editor Mike Patrick discusses, in the comments section, meeting with candidate Jim Brannon re: Habitat for Humanity's action to lay off Brannon from his executive post. Posts Patrick: "... when I met with Brannon earlier this month, he signed a privacy waiver allowing his employers to openly share any work-related complaints about him without fear of reprisal. The door has been open for board members to speak out, yet nobody has done so." Hmm. Sounds like Patrick got more than a "no comment."

Question: Do you think a privacy waiver with a newspaper protects someone from a lawsuit?
