Public knowledge that those phone numbers were given to anyone appeared ca. May of 2007. The site apparently had not been set up at that time, as AP claimed to be the only ones "in possession" of the list then. As things proceed in legal matters, they're quite "new and fresh."

Some of the "most popular" recent scandals were collected and summarized in a Washington Post article that appeared March 14, but it's been "removed" to members (signin required) storage. The title, for anyone who might want to look it up was:

By Paul Farhi
The Washington Post

The list isn't particularly exhaustive, but might be worth digging out for anyone needing to refresh the memory.

Fortunately for those unable to work with text, or whose lips are just tired from reading all the source material on this subject prior to posting, a shorter but similar summary - all in pictures with very brief captions - is at:
