Break-in Reported at Project on Government Oversight

http://www.newsweek.com/break-reported-project-government-oversight-major-dc-whistleblowers-organization-229904

By Jeff Stein

It’s probably nothing, but the office of a major Washington, DC national security whistleblowers organization was broken into last week.

The intruder or intruders left dozens of computers and other valuable office equipment untouched but jimmied open a file cabinet at the Project on Government Oversight, a private organization that has conducted several sensitive investigations in recent months, including a critical report on a controversial Pentagon leak investigation.

And what did they do to the computers?
Install keyloggers, replace real documents with fakes, etc ???
This wasn't a theft, so what was the motivation?

Of course, it might not be the NSA - it could be the FBI, DHS, RNC, etc.
