Imprudent Curiosity?

J.J. Jackson | March 22, 2008 

Was the breach of Barack Obama’s pass port data really just imprudent curiosity or was it the hand of the Clinton Mafia?

Two State Department employeeswere fired recently and a third disciplined for improperly accessing electronic personal data on Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, Bush administration officials said today.The officials, all contract workers, used their authorized computer network access to look up files within the department’s consular affairs section, which processes and stores passport information, and read Mr. Obama’s passport application and other records, in violation of department privacy rules, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was notified of the security breach today, and responded by saying security measures used to monitor records of high-profile Americans worked properly in detecting the breaches.

Mr. McCormack said the officials did not appear to be seeking information on behalf of any political candidate or party.

“As far as we can tell, in each of the three cases, it was imprudent curiosity,” Mr. McCormack told The Washington Times.

There is no arguing that Barack Obama is on the ropes and that the Clintons have made an art form of savaging and destroying their political opposition. And it certainly can’t be ruled out as a possibility that their hands are in this somewhere.
