Edited on Fri Mar-21-08 11:01 AM by DearAbby
Secretary of State Rice told Clinton, according to CNN email just received

Edit with details:

Clinton's office says her passport files also breached

(CNN) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday told Sen. Hillary Clinton that the security of her passport file were breached in 2007, according to Clinton's Senate official.

The revelation came shortly after Rice said she hed apologized to Clinton's Democratic presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama for the unauthorized viewing of his passport file by contractors working for the State Department.

Two contractors were fired and a third was disciplined after they accessed Obama's file, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Thursday.

Rice told reporters on Friday that she had apologized to Obama and that the breaches would be investigated.

12. No. KO Didn't say she did it.
He reported that Shuster discovered that the Supervisor of the employees that did it, served as ambassador under Clinton. Please stop spewing lies and spinning things.

14. BushCo's State Dept got caught (finally) spying on their political enemies
It's just that simple.

I hope this is the opening of the proverbial can of worms. It's so blatent and obvious that I think it might be.

15. Taken from same article
The State Department will brief Clinton's staff this afternoon, a statement from her Senate office said.

"Senator Clinton will closely monitor the State Department's investigation into this and the other breaches of private passport information," the statement read.

State Department officials said Rice was told Thursday that Obama's files had been improperly viewed and that she told her staff she wanted a full investigation.

The State Department has refused to release the names of the companies that employed the contractors.

The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Harry Waxman, sent a letter to Rice asking for the companies' names and said they should be made public.

18. Training mistake. Not a fireable offense. Different from the other breach.

23. Oh c'mon ... out of millions and millions of files, HRC's should be the one to be breached?
Unless it was part of a mass breach, this is just as serious as the Obama offense(s).

28. Condi needs to resign immediately
This is her department and he's obviously not up to the task of keeping private info private. She needs to go. This happened in January and she's just getting that info to Sen Clinton? Sen Obama? Sen McCain? I can't ever remember an administration where every single person is incompetent.
