Senator Barack Obama's (D-IL) Passport File Improperly Accessed by State Department Contractors.

Source: MSNBC

Two contractors from the state department were terminated and a third was disciplined for breaching the passport files of presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL). The records were allegedly breached on January 9, February 21, and March 14 of this year. The Justice Department has not yet launched a criminal investigation into the breachings and insists there were "no political motivations" into the breachings. The Obama Campaign demands to know who were the three that improperly accessed the passport and has called the breachings "outrageous breach of security and privacy".

UPDATE: The passport files of the other presidential candidates Senators Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and John McCain (R-AZ) were also improperly accessed.
