    Of course this breach isn't related to any part of the PATRIOT act that I'm aware of, but if you feel like throwing that in, go ahead.

    OOPS! The passport security breach was tied to an OBAMA advisor.
    http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/22/passport.files/index.html

    Read it and WEEP, libpigs. Looks like this is a manufactured controversy by the Obama camp in an effort to change the dialogue away from the disastrous Jeremiah Wright Youtube loop. This is a very interesting development and quite incriminating for Obama. Once again, his words backfire. The 'blame Bush' auto-default response just boomeranged in his face.

    I demand a full investigation into this, with the appropriate punishment to the Obama campaign due to the work of their advisor who allegedly did this. The Obama campaign has already that it was an outrageous breach.

    I am intrigued by this new practice of placing random words in bold face. I think I will do the same.

    Soo.. what part of being a contract worker for a company owned by a guy who is part of Obama's foreign relations council makes it "Obama's Staff".

    Thanks in advance for your thorough explanation and/or backpeddling.

    So a contract worker for a company owned by somebody on Obama's foreign relations council snoops into the passport files for all 3 candidates, and you don't find that at least a little fishy?

    I'm not saying that Obama was behind it, but it does seem a little odd.

    Ummm... Not sure any of you are reading the actual facts of the Obama advisor story, but let me break it down.

    The adviser, John Brennan, is CEO of Analysis Corp. An employee of that company was one of three contract employees accused in the passport file wrongdoing. This is the employee who has been disciplined.

    Meanwhile, two employees of Stanley Inc. were the ones accused of wrongdoing and *fired*. Stanley is run by CEO Philip Nolan, who has contributed money to the Clinton campaign.

    On noes!!! Complexity! Not again!

    Well played B-Bob. Well played. :D :cool:

    So both cases have ties to each of the Dem candidates.

    Those damned dirty Democrats. ;) :D

    And the Democrats keep digging their own graves. First to blame Bush and the Republicans for all their troubles but last to admit they did any wrong. If this was basketball, the Democrats just lost a 20 pt lead going into the 4th quarter. They still have a chance to win the game, but they just love to do things the hard way. :eek:

    I wonder how long will it take for the media to actually report this. Will Obama and Clinton even acknowledge these men? Of course I'm sure both will still blame Bush and the administration for having the breach in the first place. Here it comes now. Obama will now deliver a speech about National security. O joy o joy.

    Um... I got "my" information on who employs whom from CNN's front page last night...

    I don't know when it became true that every action of every employee in a company became the direct order of the CEO. Thank god it doesn't work that way where I work!

    But yes, Ref, agree on the dirty Dems! :D

    I meant when is TV going to cover it. I wonder if it will get as much coverage as when the breach was discovered.
