WASHINGTON – The passport files of the three major presidential candidates have all been breached, officials said Friday.”

As more records are put on line, more people will give into temptation and peek at people's records.

Of course, Senator Obama does not believe that government organizations like the Social Security Administration should investigate misuse of social security number or identity theft. Senator Obama does not believe that the IRS should investigate tax returns of people without legitimate identifies. So I feel little compassion that Senator Obama had his own records abused.

Until the full story is known as to who and why the records were accessed, we shouldn't blow this up into a huge political issue- unless the facts support it.

It's hard to say, this being the Bush Administration.

If the Democrats are going to get excited about Senator Obama's loss of privacy, it would be nice and less hypocritical if they demonstrated the same concern for everyone else. However, my guess is that sucking up to ilegal immigrants rates as more important than caring about the privacy of common citizens.

We've all heard that many competent life long government employees have left (or been forced out) of civil service due to Bush's mismanagement of government. This is a perfect example of that incompetence. State Department management should have made their expectations clear- that when there is a breach of privacy, especially of a presidential front runner, then that breach of privacy should be reported up through the chain.

So even if there wasn't a nefarious political purpose behind it, ultimately this shows the Bush administration's incompetence.

That said, let's not blow it out of proportion.
