From what we've been seeing from government bureacrats in Washington, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find that this was done intentionally to embarrass the Bush administration. I don't trust any of them anymore.

I'm not sure that I trust this "protection site" since they want far more information that we've been told was taken.

What, how, do they "protect" anyone?

Kind of coincidental that the person that took home the data had a burglary. Strange!

Quick, somebody check the guy's freezer!

He must have some "cold cash" around somewhere.
