- brokenspatula, on 03/22/2008, -0/+25All 3 had their passport records looked at, it wasn't just obama
- siszam, on 03/22/2008, -5/+26To be fair, Obama, Clinton, and McCain all had their passports files breeched.
- BlindingDawn, on 03/22/2008, -2/+16Privacy isn't that big of a deal until the shoe is on the other foot.
- xXMetalJesusXx, on 03/22/2008, -0/+13It is...
You should have added in "only" - poopdigger, on 03/22/2008, -1/+13Funny how Digg stories don't like to mention that the records of McCain and Clinton were also breached.
Probably just some low-lifes trying to find a story and sell it for a quick buck and 5 minutes of fame - therealkdog, on 03/22/2008, -0/+12So... Who can we fire for looking at mine? oh no one? I must be insignificant like the rest of American Citizens
- saska, on 03/22/2008, -0/+12I realize this comment was posted 17 hours ago, but all three candidates' passport files were breached.
- Skitzzo, on 03/22/2008, -5/+15The man is running against a Clinton and you immediately blame the Republicans? I'd suspect Hillary's camp of being behind this long before McCain's.
- lilricky, on 03/22/2008, -0/+8Uh, are we completely ignoring the fact that all 3 candidates records were pulled? Why is the attention only on Obama?
- Pake, on 03/22/2008, -0/+7The new title of the article: "Records of Clinton, McCain, Obama inappropriately accessed, officials say"
I'm assuming there was a different title earlier, before people give this guy a hard time. - TomPhoolery, on 03/22/2008, -0/+6Way to jump to conclusions, digg, and way to skew the story so it looks like Obama is the ONLY one who got breached. Every candidate who has a chance of winning has been affected...
- fearlessfx, on 03/22/2008, -1/+7Passportgate 2008
- TheRealToma, on 03/22/2008, -3/+9I think this is an important point that alot of these digg submissions fail to highlight. Im all for Obama, but I say leave the fear-mongering to the Bush cronies.
- cerealjynx, on 03/22/2008, -3/+9oops I buried you instead
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -0/+5
"The State Department last night said one of the persons responsible for the inappropriate behavior was employed by an information technology firm headed by one of Mr. Obama’s foreign intelligence advisors."
Digg that bitches. - Bazillions, on 03/22/2008, -0/+5What kind of information in the passport records would be useful to the political operatives?
The article mentions that the most important bit is his social security number. Which could then be used to pull a credit report. Millions of Americans get their credit pulled when applying for jobs much less important than the President. Why shouldnt the potential prez be subjected to the same?
Or are we talking about the political operatives stealing his identity to Paypal campaign funds to Hillary/McCain?
Im not feeling the outrage. Yes, they should be fired for delving into personal files without cause. No, I dont see the potential harm. - themoosejuice, on 03/22/2008, -1/+6PASSPORT CENTER WORKERS ARE CONTRACTED OUT TO LOWEST BIDDER.
Many people dont realize that the people at work at the passport centers are not federal employees and only make about $10 an hour & hired from temp agencies. Ever look at the pool of applicants at a temp agency? They have small background checks and turn over is huge. They might know the company location that accesses the files, but are still figuring out who it was. Even then, its not likely the temp worker is there anymore anyway. Practically anyone getting a temp job at one of these jobs could have done this. - RetardoCrisp, on 03/22/2008, -0/+5It was more than JUST Obama. Hilary and McCain's identity and passport files were breached as well. Ah sensationalism sells.
- atlandrew, on 03/22/2008, -0/+4Digg.com, "All Obama, all the time". Seriously, I can't get this much Obama coverage on his own ***** website. You had a good run digg, but you are just another blip in the left wing blogosphere now. RIP.
- RuffRidr, on 03/22/2008, -1/+5OK, if it were a conspiracy, why would you need to snoop THREE times? Wouldn't you be able to find everything you need the ONE time?
- lordmetroid, on 03/22/2008, -2/+6If it would have been anyone of use that has been violated... No one and I emphasize this. NO ONE would have been fired.
Because they are more equal than some of us. They are better of random reason.
DISGUSTING! - NoStoppingUs, on 03/22/2008, -2/+6dude. no. it was all three candidates. you people are getting absurd.
- somespecial, on 03/22/2008, -1/+5I wonder if Wright was his emergency contact.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -0/+3Chris Rock is afraid of as he puts it "*****" (his words, not mine). how did he put it?
"I know what all you black readers think. ... ''It isn't us, it's the media. The media has distorted our image to make us look bad.'' ... Please. ... When I go to the money machine at night, I'm not looking over my shoulder for the media. I'm looking for *****. -- from ''Rock This!'' by Chris Rock"
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0 ... - 007brendan, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2So it's fine for the federal government to monitor all our telephone and internet communication without a warrant; to interfere in our private relationships with our Bankers, Doctors and Employers, but it's "terribly disturbing" and wrong when someone takes a look at their passport records?!! Sound like the pot calling the kettle black to me.
- formerteenager, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2someone delete this ass hat.
- decadre, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Your article is old...
This one ( http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080321/ap_on_el_pr/ob ... ), and I quote:
"State Department employees snooped through the passport files of three presidential candidates — Sens. Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain — and the department's inspector general is investigating." - kilt42, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2no, you are correct, but what siszam was trying to say is that our country isn't "scared of an intellectual black man"
- jason4188, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Yeah the shame is that, it was also a McCain, Clinton, and Obama breach, but the shame is that only positive Obama stuff reaches here, you guys should open your third eye.
- 5urr3al5am, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2ZZZzzzz nobody gives a rats-ass
- supermanred, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Leave Brittney Alone!
- yoshman, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Probably better off that way.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -1/+3It's racism!
Passport spy allegedly worked for Obama adviser!
http://washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?A ...
This is Obama difusing an issue that his travels internationally have been exclusively to African 3rd world countries or to Muslim countries. Obama has never been to Europe of even Canada.
That makes him suspect on any number of issues, and his travel history verifies his closet black power,natiuonalist- socialist , Hewy Newton, politics under the public face he wants the American public to see to the exclusion of his true face.
Obamas passport records reveal this fact. - chrisjs169, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1My point is is that this story was submitted an hour after that article. At the time, they didn't know McCain and Hillary's passport files were also breached.
- d3mag0gu3, on 03/22/2008, -4/+5Another stupid obama story with misleading title/description. Obamabots FTW!
- streak, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1I believe it happened multiple times simply because Obama has garnered enough interest among everyone, including those with the ability (not authority) to look at his passport file. Just like it happened earlier to McCain and HRC.
I don't know about you either, but my passport is looked at by a U.S. government official every time I go through customs. Makes me scared. - Pillage, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1it's MSNBC...what do you expect?
- briguymaine, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2If by "Republican rat" you mean Hillary Clinton, then you would be correct.
- shupy, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1You are talking about a contract worker. They are temp employees. If anyone wanted to dig the dirt on political figures, working as an IT temp is one way to do it. You are given access to computer systems with no background check. So if someone was out to get dirt on Obama, makes sense that they'd go the contract employee route.
- achill3z, on 03/22/2008, -10/+11@skitzzo... /agree. Anyone who thinks a Republican is involved just doesn't understand simple politics. Obama isn't a threat to anyone but Hillary. McCain is sitting back watching the other two idiots shoot themselves in the foot and throw sand in the sandbox. I swear, Obama supporters are so idealistic and will believe anything.
- waggdogg, on 03/22/2008, -4/+5This is just a ploy by the press to get the Obama and Rev. Wright story off the front page. The matter was not looked into until after receiving inquiries from a reporter on Thursday, a department spokesman said. Who told the reporter and how did he find out? The reporter knew before the senior management level did. This is looking at files by subcontractors who were fired.
Now the Democrats will look for a fire storm. - shupy, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1A legitimate request for a credit report is light years from some unknown person having access to your personal information.
The government has a huge amount of personal information, and everyone has reason to be concerned when they are so careless with it. - RipRapRob, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1So THREE wrongs make a right?
- toxicshok, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2"The Establisment" I think everyone is reading WAY to heavily into this. It was just some employees who want to have some fun.
- mogebier, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2As usual, you college kids are jumping in without learning the facts. ALL 3 candidates files were opened.
LOSER!!!
LEARN TO WATCH THE NEWS AND LEARN THINGS BEFORE MOUTHING OFF!!! - shupy, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1It's all wrong.
- Pillage, on 03/22/2008, -1/+2I sure hope they fire the people who accessed McCain and Hillary's file as well.....
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Yep, this is where all this inevitably leads, and why the US as a free country is dead and gone.
The entire new system is politically motivated, terrorisum is just an excuse. - inactive, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1soon come...
