So am I...I think there's some intranet-type spying going on. Maybe that's how some of the National Security info was leaked.
You mean this congressional network?...
From information volunteered by at least two former Hatch staffers, and as reported in the Washington Post and other media, he documents in question were inadvertently disclosed and obtained off an unsecured shared network accessible to both Democrat and Republican Judiciary Committee staff. The disclosure of these and other documents was caused by the negligence of the Leahy technology staff. They inadvertently allowed access to files of both Republican and Democrat staff that had joined the Committee after the Jeffords switch. In short, there was no breaking and entering. Staffers were entitled to access their own desktop computers and the committee network on which the documents were inadvertently disclosed. The documents were disclosed through the window labeled "My Network Places."
As former White House counsel C. Boyden Gray concluded in the Wall Street Journal on December 23, 2003: "The Democrats designed a faulty "shared network" where files could be accessed freely by staffers of either party; if you had material you wanted kept completely confidential, you were advised to store it on your own hard drive. No one exceeds their authority when they log on and access files on their own computer's desktop. Democrats, in other words, were the ones who disclosed their own documents, which were in fact entirely unrestricted."
Were the Democrats aware of the glitch and did they take steps to repair it? Yes they were informed, and no they did not repair it.
