I know it's the Times but they were the ones that broke the story

The State Department investigation of improper computer access to passport records of three presidential candidates is focusing on one remaining employee — a contract worker with a company headed by an adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama



Calls to the Obama campaign about Mr. Brennan were not returned.

1. Interesting, but I still think that

this came straight from the Bushies. Just like the last one. I don't think anyone in any of the campaigns had anything to do with this.

2. Uh oh....this is starting to get rather curious.

The third employee, who has not been fired, worked for The Analysis Corporation (TAC), which is headed by John O. Brennan, a former CIA agent who is an adviser to Mr. Obama's presidential campaign on intelligence and foreign policy.

The TAC employee is the only individual to have accessed both Mr. Obama's and Mr. McCain's passport information without proper authorization, a State Department spokesman said. That employee, who was not named, triggered an electronic alarm system, officials familiar with the probe said.

The accessed records have the data provided in passport applications and used by the department to issue or renew travel documents.

3. Sounds like a double agent

I'll give Obama the benefit of the doubt for now.

4. I don't know what it is. But you'd think a guy who worked for the CIA would have

a better system in place, not just for security of records, but vetting employees....

7. I would imagine since there

is an Obama advisor associated with one of the companies, a Clinton appointee associated with the snooping, there is probably some obscure connection with someone associated with McCain as well. What you really need to remember is these companies are not taking orders from any of the candidates, they are taking orders from someone inside our government, most likely from the State Department, CIA and/or Pentagon.
