More details on the passport breach story

POSTED BY Alexandra Steigrad, 21 March 2008

The New York Times is reporting that the passports of all three candidates were breached. Obama's file was breached three separate times, by three different employees, working for independent contractors. Two of the employees were fired, and the third, who also accessed John McCain's file, was "only reprimanded and remains an employee."

Clinton's passport file was breached during a summer training session for State Department employees. For training purposes, trainees were encouraged to enter a family member's last name, but one trainee entered Clinton's name instead. The person in question was "promptly admonished." 

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called Obama to personally apologize, and called the incident 'disturbing.'
