** EXCERPT **
Two State Department employees were fired recently and a third disciplined for improperly accessing electronic personal data on Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, Bush administration officials said yesterday.
~snip~
A similar data breach took place in 1992 when State Department officials looked up data on presidential candidate Bill Clinton, in an attempt to find out information from the late 1960s, amid unfounded political campaign rumors that Mr. Clinton had sought to renounce his citizenship to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford.
That incident triggered a three-year investigation by a special prosecutor, who found that no laws were violated but officials exercised poor judgment. The 1992 search of Mr. Clinton's passport records was part of an effort to speed up Freedom of Information Act requests.

Asked whether a political candidate or party is behind the incidents, Mr. McCormack said: "None at this point in time that we have determined."
Mr. McCormack declined to provide the names of the employees or the contract, but he said they were hired by the contractor involved in producing, processing and approving passports.
"This is supposed to be a transaction between an individual and the government, and this is private information that we take a lot of steps to protect, and we take that responsibility seriously, not only for high profile individuals but for everybody," he said.
Mr. McCormack said the incidents took place at consular affairs facilities in the Washington area.

Patrick Kennedy is the drug-addled son of Teddy.
Rachel is a very pretty dyke but a socialist hardliner.
This seems rather explosive, potentially....
Our Government is full of these Commie moles.
I miss Joe McCarthy and the HUAC.
Yes..I know. LOL..Please see my latest comments. I just caught some snippet about some State Department ‘Kennedy’ on MSNBC that was going to do a briefing tomorrow.
Maura Harty looks like she is behind this. She is a Clinton holdover and just recently retired.
Google her if you are interested.
Have you read Kenneth Timmerman’s book: ‘Shadow Warriors’?
It is an eye opener!!
It would appear that the MSM has just stepped in it. They jumped the gun in an effort to smear the Bush Administration and help take ‘Preachergate’ off the news about Obama...now they have exposed the Clinton holdovers at the State Department!!
LOL..This will go nowhere now unless some conservative bloggers/talk radio folks dig up the truth!
MSM will drop it by midnight tonight. There will be no mention of it on the morning news. Just my guess!
Oh. Rats!
Here is the link to the ‘Patrick Kennedy’ I think MSNBC was referring to:(the article is interesting read too about Mauri Harty)

“Needless to say, misleading the same senators she would need to confirm her for any promotion was not a smart career move. This, along with conservative pressure exerted on the White House, slowed the permanent appointment to under secretary of management that had seemed imminent only months earlier. The White House eventually changed course, nominating Foreign Service Career Minister Patrick Kennedy. The Senate quickly confirmed him.”
It’s these very same Clinton Moles who have stalled the War’s progress at every step of the way, wasting AMERICAN BLOOD< for nothing other than to make Bush look bad for a Clinton run...
I call that TREASON, myself...
Here is more on her on FR:

Got to head to bed. Hope some folks dig up the truth of this mess!
This is their deepest dream ... oh .. except for
that one thing: possibly a Clinton connection,
which they’ll try to spin as Bush, the overlord
.. LOL.
I really really love the smell of rats eating their
own.
By June, this party may have just totally imploded
(I pray).
That’s Rachel Maddow, from that nearly defunct
(and backrupted at least once) leftist Airless
America radio network. She, being gay and
brilliantly snarky, and Keith, delusionally despicable,
are pretty much a quinella in the Rat Bush loathing dept.
Wow .. quite an operative.
And she left before this happened?
According to the WT article:
“Computer-monitoring equipment detected the activities by the three employees on Jan. 9, Feb. 21 and March 14, triggering alarms in each case, Mr. McCormack said.”
Harty ‘retired’ on Febuary 28 or 29 2008. So some of it took place during her ‘tenture’.
Thanks for the ping!

Spread it far and wide amongst the Obama-ites over at D.U. Because it is TRUE. They are going to get busssssssted!
One of those guys wouldn’t happen to go by the name Craig Livingstone, would he?
Just askin’
The MSM would have to report the Tripp incident, and the punishment (or not) of Ken Bacon. That would bring back the Lewinski affair, the heavy hand of the Clinton White House, and plant the idea that it's starting all over again.

Typical (white?) State Department plants of the Clintons?
