Details about a U.S. Secret Service safe house for the First Family -- to be used in a national emergency -- were found to have leaked out on a LimeWire file-sharing network recently, members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee were told this morning.
Also unearthed on LimeWire networks in recent days were presidential motorcade routes and a sensitive but unclassified document listing details on every nuclear facility in the country, Robert Boback, CEO of Tiversa Inc. told committee members.
The disclosures prompted the chairman of the committee, Rep. Edolphus Towns, (D-N.Y.), to call for a ban on the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) software on all government and contractor computers and networks. "For our sensitive government information, the risk is simply too great to ignore," said Towns who plans to introduce a bill to enforce just such a P2P ban.

right on
I wonder how much of this is to prepare us for the necessity of new construction of huge bunkers like in Berlin - we must protect our “leaders”
Is this for when 100 million patriots storm D.C. seeking vengeance?
Info was probably leaked from zero’s blackberry.
Geez. 30 years ago I went to New London to train on the Nautilus. It cracked me up to see all the signs directing people to the sub base. I need secret clearance to get on board, but any enemy could have gotten there by folllowing the signs! It was like “secret nuclear sub base here!”
I pray everyday that someone doesn't kill him.
Can you imagine every road, park, and school in America not currently named for MLK being renamed President Barrak Hussin Obama Dr or some such !
The left would make a martyr out of him for the next 200 years.
Please pray for his health.
hehe
I think you're right. This would fit in perfectly with 0bozo's other ne0-Nazi symbolism, the fawning, adoring masses, the uplifted nose, superior smug arrogance, the larger than life posters of "The 0ne" (piss be upon him), the Greek mythology pillars, his ne0-Nazi youth brigades, and the list goes on. 0bozo is socialist-fascist-commie usurper, who I think very much admires Hitler & his absolute control over peoples' lives.
It's gonna be a LONG 3 1/2 years until we can put some adults back in charge.
LOL!!!
I used to love browsing through the drives of unsuspecting users that shared their entire 'C:\' drive. Just do a search for .sys, .log. and .tmp then watch the results poor in. Those are your targets. Some aren't sharing their entire drive, but MOST of them will be. It's also fun to search for the extensions of MS Office software.. .xls, .doc(x), and .mdb. Often, those searches reveals some interesting info, and yes, many of those users are unknowingly sharing the entire system drive of the computer they are running the file sharing application on..
People still use Limewire?
I would bet he is the source of the leak as he brags about being President. Still cannot believe he uses a blackberry.
Marvelous.
I thinks its to prepare us for the gov’t controlling the internet.
"The only vendor at today's hearing was Mark Gorton, chairman of Lime Group LLC, the umbrella organization that runs Lime Wire LLC, developer of LimeWire, which is the most-used P2P client available. Gorton testified two years ago and promised at that time to implement changes in the company's products to make it harder for users to inadvertently share files.
Today he insisted that the company had implemented many of those changes and that the latest version of LimeWire makes it much harder for data to be inadvertently leaked. Those claims were largely rejected by members of the committee, who blasted Gorton for failing to live up to his promises.
That's what I thought...
