#1 lol! Funny photo.

Ok - so I admit, I'm curious. What did the look at Hillary Clinton's passport reveal?

#2 Anyone check Bergers shorts?

In April 2005, Berger pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material from the National Archives in Washington. According to the lead prosecutor in the case Berger only took copies of classified information and that no original material was destroyed; however, there is notable controversy and speculation that he might have removed or destroyed originals of other unknown documents as well.

Berger currently serves as a foreign policy adviser to Senator Hillary Clinton in her presidential campaign.[2]

#3 The passport files that were accessed contain only data to apply for passport, i.e. name, DoB, SSAN, address, etc. Great for identify theft, no good to see where someone has traveled. That data would be over in Homeland Security now, dates and flights coming and going when you passed through Customs.

#4 While Specter is a goofball, this is exactly something the Justice Department was set up to look at. I have seen calls for a congressional investigation, but congress needs to keep their dirty money grabbers out of it. Let the wheels of bureaucracy grind slowly on and they will find whether this was just idle and misplaced curiosity, or a full blown smear attempt.

#5 The idiots were caught, some fired and the others punished. This is just posturing.
