Keith Olbermann is reporting that there has been a "security breach" of Senator Barack Obama's "passport information." The State Department has confirmed that 2 contract employees of the Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs have been terminated for accessing the Obama passport file. This occurred in January apparently.

Sounds like two dopes to me. I must ask, is there something secret about where Obama has traveled? I am surprised no one has asked Obama to release all his passport information actually. Check that, actually I am not surprised.

Howard Fineman is acting the fool as usual. (Yes, he is insinuating that Clinton is involved. I kid you not.) [More...]

First breach was January 9, second February 21 and third March 14. 3 different people did it. Apparently unconnected. 2 fired. 1 suspended. Andrea Mitchell is pointing fingers at the Bush Administration, especially Condi Rice. No criminal investigation, just an administrative violation.

Update (TL): Same thing happened to Bill Clinton in 1992.
