His nomination delayed by Senate Democrats, Mr. Schmitz finally came on board a year into the Bush administration. He set out to right a ship dogged by charges of corruption and cronyism.

But he also had to deal with an electronic bug apparently left over from eight years of the Clinton administration.

Hello

A second series of internal memos from his staff showed that a Muslim who was employed as an auditor and granted a "top-secret" security clearance was not an American citizen.

"He possesses a Social Security number tied to multiple confirmed aliases," a May 2002 memo said. Another paper said, "Using the improper granted interim clearance, [the employee] visited numerous installations where he had access to sensitive information. ... The Department of Justice Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently considering a criminal investigation into this matter."

Oh, that's just perfect. No information on this individual will be forthcoming, wouldn't fit the new tone.
