"This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years. Our government's duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes," Burton said.
No one is immune.

From the UPI:

"A monitoring system was tripped when an employee accessed the records of a high-profile individual," a State Department official said. "When the monitoring system is tripped, we immediately seek an explanation for the records access. If the explanation is not satisfactory, the supervisor is notified."
So if it's immediate, and the first incident was in January, and it's now the end of March, how were there 2 more incidents. More bulls**t.

I think they were announcing the firings had taken place, not necessarily saying they had JUST taken place. It might also have taken them a while to formulate policy for this particular instance, bureacracy moves slowly.

Well the policy has been in place since at the least the time they did this to Bill Clinton when he was running against H.W. Funny how it rears it's ugly head again with W in office.

And according to MSNBC, all three candidates (McCain, Obama, and Clinton) had their records accessed.

Yes, but with McCain it was just curiosity.

Hillary's was malicious. And Obama's involved sacrificing of small children and kittens, by what MSNBC called "evil men with blood dripping from their chins, and American flag lapel pins."

After all, who has ever logged into a government database and wondered what interesting tidbits they might be able to find? It just doesn't happen.
