Yet another sleazy scandal from the Republican Regime. From WTEA TV’s The Pittsburgh Channel:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that the passport files of both Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama were accessed without authorization by employees of the State Department.
News organizations this morning were reporting that Sen. Barack Obama’s passport files had been accessed by the State Department. Now it’s Hillary as well. Now it’s Condi Rice making the Apology Circuit:
“We are very concerned about this,” Ms. Rice said. “I told him that I was sorry and I told him that I myself would be very disturbed if I learned that somebody had looked into my passport file.”
The breaches occurred in 2007. Two State Department employees have been fired over the incident.
So, what did they know, and when did they know it?
And who else did they take a peek at?
UPDATE: 11:37 a.m.
According to The Swamp at the Chicago Tribune, Sen. John McCain’s “passport files got an unauthorized viewing at the State Department.”
Will someone in the Bush Administration please speak up for the Bill of Rights?
