Imprudent Curiosity
I heard this remarkable phrase tonight in relation to the passport security breach.

The employee who has not yet been fired is on probation or some such for "imprudent curiosity."

I guess that's the new name for all the illegal wiretapping, spying, and all manner of civil rights violations we are increasingly subject to by this illegitimate, lawless administration. I'm sure they could even shove torture under that category: "The interrogator held the detainee's head under water to see how long he could go without breathing. It was just a case of imprudent curiosity."

Newspeak, anyone?

:banghead:

1. Nominated.
How interesting that it happened three times, eh? No pattern, of course.
