Curiouser and curiouser

Curious only begins to describe this. Earlier today the reports had only Obama's file breached; now all three. Smells.

Ms Rice said she would not want her passport file looked at either

The passport files of the three leading US presidential candidates have been improperly accessed, the state department has said.

A state department employee looked at the files of both Republican candidate John McCain and Democratic front-runner Barack Obama, the department said. State department spokesman Sean McCormack said a trainee also accessed Hillary Clinton's file last year. Two state department contractors have been fired and a third disciplined.

The interesting details here are that a trainee and contractors had access to such files.
