Wayne State University law professor Peter Henning commented about the Hewlett Packard (HP) spying scandal and which corporate officers may be vulnerable to charges. Investigators are likely to question attorneys who played varying roles in the snooping. If HP\'s general counsel Ann Baskins was involved in hiring or supervising the outside contractor, she "is squarely in the line of fire,\'\' Henning said. "Even if it got delegated to a lower-level attorney, the general counsel is required to supervise that office, not only as a management rule but as an ethical requirement.\'\'
