Obama passport file breached
Two State Department employees have been fired for looking at the Illinois senator's file.
Alex Koppelman [2008-03-21]

  • What wierdness!

    Here are my questions about this bizarre incident:

    1) which private company held the contract to do consular work for the State Department? Blackwater? Haliburton?

    2)what prompted these contract employees to look on three (or more?) separate ocassions into Obama's passport files? Idle curiosity about a celebrity or malign intent toward a possible future president?

    3) who did these contractors share their findings with?

    4) why didn't higher level State Department officials learn about these breaches until yesterday although they happened several months ago?

    5) why was the news leaked to the Washington Times, of all places?

    6) will the cover-up of these incidents, rather than the initial crime, prove to be the more serious violation of law and ethics?

    And yes, I am paranoid enough to suspect that Dick Cheney is behind all of this!
