Man, the thing is getting worst every minute. In the beginning it was only Obama, now is just …everybody! The passport files of the three leading US presidential candidates have been improperly accessed, the state department has said.
A state department employee looked at the files of both Republican candidate John McCain and Democratic front-runner Barack Obama, the department said. State department spokesman Sean McCormack said a trainee also accessed Hillary Clinton's file last year. Two state department contractors have been fired and a third disciplined.
"In the case of Senator McCain, we detected earlier this year... one of the same people who accessed Senator Obama's passport file also accessed Senator McCain's passport file," Mr. McCormack said. That contract employee had been reprimanded but not fired, he said.
Is something more they miss to tell us? Just the …passport files all the lifelong files? And by the way, earlier this week, Ms Rice said she had apologized to Mr. Obama about the breach of security regarding his passport file.
She said a full investigation was under way. A spokesman for Mr. Obama suggested that the government could be using private information for "political purposes".
