Last night, MSNBC noted a Clinton connection to the story that Barack Obama’s passport had been breached. The network reported that Maura Harty, the State Department official in charge of the Bureau Of Consular Affairs during the first two breaches of Obama’s passport, had served as an ambassador under Bill Clinton.
Today, the State Department confirmed Hillary Clinton and John McCain’s passport files had also been breached.

Somebody Was Snooping in Obama’s Passport File? (More Clinton connection questions)
The National Review ^ | March 20, 2008 | Jim Geraghty
A weird campaign cycle gets even weirder - three State Department contract employees have been caught nosing around in Barack Obama’s passport file. Two were fired, one was disciplined. The first breach was on January 9; the inspector general is launching an investigation.
~snip~
A little while back, the Hillary campaign specifically Lee Feinstein, the campaign’s national security director, asked a question:
As voters evaluate you as a potential Commander-in-Chief, do you think it’s legitimate for people to be concerned that you have traveled to only one NATO country, on a brief stopover trip in 2005, and have never traveled to Latin America?
I remember hearing their charge that Obama had only visited one NATO country in his life and it seemed pretty hard to believe... out of countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, etc., Obama had only been to one? The boy who grew up in Indonesia, and visited relatives in Africa, never made it to any of those European countries? The guy who lived in Chicago and went to Harvard never made it to Canada? (I presume Canada wasn’t the site of the brief stopover trip.)
Now, I’m not saying that the Hillary camp did the snooping in the passport file. But in asking that question, they seemed awfully certain that Obama had never been to one of those countries earlier in his life, didn’t they?

Thanks, Maggie.
Maggie, your research is so useful and turns up unexpected (but not suprising when it comes to the Clintons ) information. Thank you!
