1. Joe DiGenova was just saying (LYING) that these were just "civil servants"

They were CONTRACTORS ... BIG difference, considering all the shady deals and outsourcing
of government work in this admin.

2. Joe DiGenova is a heavy water-carrier for the GOP.

And his wife is the despicable Victoria Toensing. While I appreciated the MSNBC/Olberman coverage of this story tonight, I did not like the fawning over the slanted opinions of Joe DiGenova.

3. civil servants are on the civil service system and have rights and

fall backs and pensions and the rest. they would not just be let go. there would be a process. these were some hires, could be anyone from a couple three idiots from a temp service or they could be political operatives who got a job to access information to be used in ops in the campaigns. Right now, the only ones who are clear on this issue are Obama and his.

5. what he said was the mid-level civil servants should have reported this up

and appear to have covered it up

Not sure that changes much but, still, I didn't hear him say the civil servants were the ones who accessed the passport info

9. You are correct.

He was referring to the mid-level managers who sat on the info, not the contractors.

15. DiGenova was also pushing that this was a result of big government. He kept failing

to acknowledge it was due to crony contracting! :mad:

4. here's an interesting connection

Marc Grossman, a George W. Bush administration undersecretary of state who helped implement a $4 billion counter-narcotics effort known as Plan Colombia, said DynCorp’s eradication operation was well worth the taxpayers’ money. He now serves with Gen. Barry McCaffrey on DynCorp’s board of directors.

So, a former undersecretary of state now sits on the board of Dyncorp...and this was a state department breach. I think there's a lot of information still to be mined from this.

12. There is no evidence that this is CSC.

There is no evidence that this is CSC. There are many contractors
for state. CSC is only one.

[elehhhhna]

14. per the statements made to the media it was a computer consulting company...

Obviously I can't prove it was CSC, but what are the odds, and how many computer sevices contractor companies are in there? I find evidence of only one.

If you know more, please do tell.
