Officials at the State Department confirmed that they did not report information about Security Breeches relating to Barack Obama's passport and file containing consular reports to Condoleezza Rice and Barack Obama for over 2 months.
Three separate security breeches enabled contractors to access information on Barack Obama without permission in the last three months. The first attack occurred by State Department contractors on January 9th. The second took place on February 21st. Neither of those security breeches were reported by supervisors at the State Department to Condoleezza Rice nor Barack Obama.
In fact reports did not reach Rice until after a 3rd attack took place by a third contractor on March 14th. Criminal investigations are now being considered by the Justice Department unofficially even though the State Department itself has not yet called for an investigation. The State Department states that it will perform a review of break downs in protocol and management.
The break down in protocol, management and security is yet another black eye on the Bush Administration that has had an extremely poor track record at protecting information of high profile Americans, CIA agents and in fact has actively spied on average Americans. More controls seem to be in place to protect exercise equipment at the State Department gym than on sensitive information.
