Apparently, someone took an authorized look at Barack Obama’s passport file:
(CNN) — On three occasions since January, Sen. Barack Obama’s passport file was looked at by three different contract workers, said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
The contractors accessed information in the file in an unauthorized way, he said.
Two contractors were fired and one was disciplined by the contractor’s company, McCormack said.
He said the contractors are not linked.
The breach seems like “imprudent curiosity” among the contract workers, said McCormack, adding that senior management at the State Department was not aware of the incidents until Thursday afternoon. Breaches occurred January 9, February 21 and March 14.
Obama’s campaign is asking for a complete investigation to find out who looked at Obama’s passport file and why.
“This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton in a statement.
Umm, only thing is that, so far at least, there’s no evidence that the Administration was involved in anything.

Bush also is linked to the redirection of the comet that smashed into the earth and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs just so he could make money off the oil. That’s what the star wars defense program is all about, oil and more oil. lol

There are really only three people in the United States who are likely to be behind having three different low level state department employees accessing Obama’a passport files three different times in the months after Obama started winning primaries (with the first security breach coming the day after Maggie “bury the Rose Law Firm Billing Records” Williams took over the Clinton Campaign). This has got to be either Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, or Hillary Clinton (these three are really one in the same when you think about it) or, it could be that all three of them had their own separate State Department moles access Obama’s passport files on different days using different low level state department opperatives. If we had an Administration that had any courage, honor, or decency, it would be a simple matter to get to the bottom of this. But since neither Bush, nor Cheney have any of these attributes, we probably won’t find out who was behind this Watergate style dirty trick until after the election is over–count on it!
Remember when Hillary accused Obama of having visited only one NATO country? How could she have known that unless she paid some mole to breach Obama’s Passport records?
