NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton ordered all e-mails urging her to run for president deleted from her Web site to "end the confusion."
"We don't want anyone to be confused about her plans," the spokesman for the Democratic Senator, Philippe Reines, told the New York Post.
The confusion came when Clinton's staff chose and posted numerous e-mails to her Web site friendsofhillary.com, sparking speculation that she might run for president in 2004, something she has denied often.
The speculation rose further when a new batch of e-mails appeared on the Web site, but Clinton responded that she could not get in the way of "freedom of speech," the Post said.
When asked about what happened to the freedom of speech of the e-mails that had been purged from the Web site, Reines said he had to plead the Fifth Amendment.
