Where in the article does it say McCain's passport was compromised?

I heard he spent 5 years in North Vietnam during his tenure as a Naval Aviator...without the permission of his superiors or the use of his passport!!!

This smells of shenanigans...

This smells.

Well, either it's a GOP conspiracy, a Clinton conspiracy, or some jerkoffs who spent their afternoons looking up celebrities' passport information. "Obama, Barack...Clinton, Hillary...Cruise, Tom...McCain, John McCain's Daughter with the Huge Boobs..."

I bet their medical information has been looked at also... Doesn't mean it is a consipracy, just means someone with access to that database wanted to take a peek.

My wife's mom works in the medical profession and one of the people at her office was fired because in her down time she would look up random people's medical information.

Awesome pic

Ryan2065: Doesn't mean it is a consipracy...

It means incompetence.

It's something that the special interests that control both the Rrpublicans and Democrats are doing to make sure their bought-and-paid-for candidates will do their bidding like the good little pawns that they are.

Non-story. Criminalization of unauthorized snooping into private records. If you don't go anywhere, you have nothing to worry about.

Breached is a funny word...breached, breached, breached...hehehe

/breached

I'm visiting my folks for the Holiday, and my mother actually said something along the lines of "he should just step up and say who cares who looked at my passport? I mean, he's not hiding anything, so what's it matter?"

Then of course I launched into the whole "let me read your mail if you have nothing to hide; let me listen to your phone calls, search your home without a warrant" and etc. etc.

She kicked me out of the kitchen.

/managed to snag my coffee cup on the way out, though.

Romney upset. Asks, "I can haz passport breach too?"

with this many separate incidents, i don't see any reason for an investigation.

it's like when three people get murdered the exact same way. it's safe to assume that the incidents aren't related at all.

When asked to comment, Dick Cheney replied "So?"

All I can say is that I hope they hire a really really good private contractor to investigate this.

If only the 9/11 hijackers' visas (expired) and passports had received such scrutiny.

The timing of this is the ridiculous thing, though. First we hear about Obama's passport breach. Then all of a sudden, just hours later, Hillary comes to tag along "ME TOO, I was violated too." Suspicious much?

stargazer101: Suspicious much?

And protest too much?

Um, no. Unless Hillary Clinton secretly runs the State Department and is a half-lizard Illuminati high priestess.

Of course, because every single State Department employee is a GOP loyalist.

Okay. Let's see if I have this right. Three low-level knuckleheads at the State Department go "huh huh, let's look at candidates info on their passports, durrrr". The most likely explanation for this occurrence? "Hillary and Bill Clinton control all the government in secret and IT'S A CONSPIRACY!"

Let me guess, Vince Foster was KILLED WITH UNTRACEABLE ALIEN MICROBES FLUNG INTO HIS BODY WITH THE CLINTON QUANTUM TREBUCHET too.

Sometimes it's actually something sinister, and sometimes it's some moron temporary workers doing something stupid. Guess which one this is.

it's highly unlikely any of the candidates were involved. it's possible, but there's no evidence to support that conclusion.

the fact that it happened repeatedly is certainly cause for investigation... the political parties and their candidates are not the only people who might have wanted to take a peek. it might have been some news organization, it might have been someone you wouldn't even think about.

Ron Paul gets left out in the cold again. Its a conspiracy I tells ya.

I don't think the idea of "passports" jives with the libertarians.

The article says it happened to Hillary back in 2007. Why didn't they bring it up then? I'm guessing that her campaign is just trying to attention whore.

The passport info was compromised in 2007. The State Department didn't tell her about it until either yesterday or today. But don't let your hatred for HRC get in the way of facts or anything, okay?

/not a Clinton fan

This was obviously the Jews.

/Surprised it took 35 posts.

Will somebody please pray for Omarian.

/and do the Total Fark, Mom's Basement Dance of Rage, called "Blame Bush"

You know who else liked to inspect people's passports....

Well ain't that some sh*t.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who sell dirt on whoever...

maybe this will take the media dogs off all the other garbage surrounding the candidates so they can actually talk about something other than smear topics.

ah who am i kiddin'

OBAMA IS A RACIST HILLARY IS A COMMIE AND MCCAIN IS AN ANGRY OLD GUY

Cagey B:

Details on the story are hazy and probably at least 60% wrong so far. That said, in the television coverage I watched last night I heard claims that (a) the private contractor running this program has "connections" to the Clintons (seems hard to verify, given that so far as I know the contractor hasn't been publicly identified), and (b) the manager of the State Department unit in which these contractors worked was once appointed to a low-level ambassadorship by the Big Dog. All very tin-foil-hattish at this point, but time will tell.

robsul82: John McCain's Daughter with the Huge Boobs...

I'd breach her.

Clinton's was only a training accident. The contractor that looked up McCain's look up Obama too. But not Clinton.

/hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Golf clap, +1, thread over. Your prize of TEH INTERNETZ is ready for pickup.

sigdiamond2000: Where in the article does it say McCain's passport was compromised?

FTFA: CNN) -- The security of the passport files of the three remaining presidential candidates was breached, the State Department admitted Friday.

AgentTofu: Clinton's was only a training accident. The contractor that looked up McCain's look up Obama too. But not Clinton.

/hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm

No one wants anything to do with breaching Shrilary.

Good, so now we know it is just complete gross incompetence and a lack of oversight.

That makes me feel a bit worse, really. It's nice that it took place across the board (though it seems that more were curious about Obama... the guy who looked up two files is a dumbass), but it's terrible (and offsets the balance) that this crap is happening at ALL.

He yells at clouds, you know.

I like how the Obama passport story hung out there just long enough to let the BDS crowd make fools of them selves (again) before the other shoe dropped and it turned out to be much ado about nothing.

Ha.
