BREAKING: H. Clinton's passport records breached in '07. Per C. Rice.

[elixir]

C. Rice admits and apologizes for both oversights - the breach of Obama's and Clinton's passport records.

I guess Obama's passport story isn't going to play out. Wow, axelrod is really going to earn his salary this week. He's going to have to dig up another assault on Obama's aura.

1. McCain's was breached too.

[Dinger]

22. I Don't Believe That. I Think It's Obama & Clinton

rove, trying to cover his tracks.

[msallied]

2. It's a shame people here are using this incident for partisan gain

They clearly don't know how serious this is. The fact of the matter is, this kind abuse by the State Department affects everyone. The government has proven itself irresponsible and way too powerful when it comes to one's private information.

[K Gardner]

3. Breaking: It was a TRAINING mistake. Not a purposeful breech per MSNBC.

[thewiseguy]

4. McCain's or Hillary's?

[bklyncowgirl]

5. Clinton's not McCain's nt

[thewiseguy]

6. So McCain's breach was not a training accident?

[jenmito]

9. Nope. And it was the same day Obama's happened. NOT Hillary's.

Hmmm...

[K Gardner]

14. Didn't hear that, wow.. interesting.

[bklyncowgirl]

27. No, apparently it was not. Apparently the same people who looked at Obama looked at McCain.

[ladywnch]

11. if it was a training mistake, then why where 2 people fired and one disciplined?

you generally don't fire people during training for making mistakes. something doesn't sound right here.

[thewiseguy]

12. People were fired in relation to Obama breaches

[ladywnch]

15. ah, okay, it didn't say that in the original post I thought they were

saying Obama's was a training incident. I see the other threads now.

[K Gardner]

13. Different incidents. The firings were in relation to the Obama breach.. not sure

about McCain.

[rodeodance]

30. Belittling any breach is WRONG

[jenmito]

7. Just reported-in the Clinton case of looking at passport records, it was a trainee's mistake.

[thewiseguy]

8. Just as the Hillary folks were getting excited. lol

[jenmito]

10. I know! Tough luck!

:rofl:

[Skoods]

17. Stop being a jerk..

This type of behavior is why Hillary supporters will not support Obama in the fall.

[jenmito]

19. Yeah, right.

[JoFerret]

26. It was probably the Obama campaign that orchestrated it

(just as likely a theory - Think: who benefits? Obama.)

Any other paranoid theory a better fit?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. This Axelrod's stunt was almost as amateurish as the Clinton WH Prayer Breakfast pic with Wright was

[oviedodem]

24. What stunt?? Some of you are true tools.

[rodeodance]

28. name calling is so unbecoming.

[rodeodance]

29. I would think BO would want to keep Wright off the radar--but insteads he sends pics to NYTimes!!

[bridgit]

18. State Dept. claiming now all three candidates, maybe to send up smoke & mirrors

[TheDonkey]

20. Condosleazea to teh rescue huh

[Ben143]

21. Will pro-Obama Drudge cover this one? n/t

[oviedodem]

23. Axelrod never blamed anyone, he said it was an outrage and does deserve an investigation.

[stray cat]

25. Are you saying its ok if people records get breached multiple times

without any investigation.

[Vinca]

31. The state department held a press conference and said

Hillary's file was breached in 2007 by a trainee who had been told to enter a name in the computer. Rather than enter a family member's name, the dimwit entered Hillary's name and triggered an alert. It was a nonevent. This year, Obama's file has been breached 3 times and McCains once. One person looked at Obama's file once and McCain's file. That's the person who has been disciplined and not fired. The two who were fired were the ones who looked at Obama's file earlier this year. It hasn't been thoroughly investigated so there is no way of knowing if it is political dirty tricks, stupid people or people looking for information to sell to the media.
