1. Two contractors and the State Department

couldn't keep simple passport records secure. I guess if we contracted out Condi's job maybe then they could keep the records safe from prying eyes. What a waste of our tax dollars.

What We Do


NCTC serves as the primary organization in the United States Government for integrating and analyzing all intelligence pertaining to terrorism possessed or acquired by the United States Government (except purely domestic terrorism); serves as the central and shared knowledge bank on terrorism information; provides all-source intelligence support to government-wide counterterrorism activities; establishes the information technology (IT) systems and architectures within the NCTC and between the NCTC and other agencies that enable access to, as well as integration, dissemination, and use of, terrorism information.

NCTC serves as the principal advisor to the DNI on intelligence operations and analysis relating to counterterrorism, advising the DNI on how well US intelligence activities, programs, and budget proposals for counterterrorism conform to priorities established by the President.

Unique among US agencies, NCTC also serves as the primary organization for strategic operational planning for counterterrorism. Operating under the policy direction of the President of the United States, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council, NCTC provides a full-time interagency forum and process to plan, integrate, assign lead operational roles and responsibilities, and measure the effectiveness of strategic operational counterterrorism activities of the US Government, applying all instruments of national power to the counterterrorism mission.

4. Maybe they should put the guy who stores the white house

e-mails in charge of passports. Then we can be sure no one would ever see the files.

[soothsayer]

9. lol!

[screembloodymurder]

6. Where did the two guys who were fired work before?

And now?

[kentuck]

8. Nobody is saying..

We probably will never know. They are working for the CIA and Homeland Security, basically.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

11. An eye for an eye.... the people who did this, should have their

personal info put out there, and then their phone records should be investigated to the hilt to see if they were expressing "inappropriate curiosity" or if they were digging for someone somewhere, perhaps someone in a rather high place who likes to leak things when it suits him/her. The wh is well known for leaking, for good or bad.

14. If the perps had been enemies of the administration...
