Candidate Passport Files Breached: Clinton, Obama, and McCain

[CrimsonWhite]

CBS/AP) State Department workers pried into the supposedly secure passport files of presidential contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain, abashed officials admitted Friday in a revelation that had Condoleezza Rice telephoning the candidates to personally apologize.

The snooping incidents raised questions as to whether there was political motivation and why two contractors involved were fired before investigators had a chance to interview them. The State Department's inspector general was probing, with the Justice Department monitoring the effort, but Obama said that was not enough. He urged congressional involvement "so it's not simply an internal matter."

Looks like it wasn't just Obama.

I find it really hard to care. Some bored workers used their work computers inappropriately.

They got fired. Who cares? It happens all the time, it's a sign of the times.

I agree. I posted for the folks that were trying skew this as a right wing election tactic. For instance:
