I dunno, there are a lot of holes in the story
First of all, they accessed the info three different times...first time was a few days after Obama won the first primary..so in other words as soon as he became a serious contender.
Second thing, for some reason it didn't get reported at all even though it clearly should have...instead, the lower level person just instantly fired the people who did it and didn't tell their supervisor.
And apparently because of the way it works, the government is now unable to question the people who were fired, because they no longer work for the government.
So maybe it is nothing but you have to think that if they were trying to get the info even just to flesh out their oppo research on Obama this is the way you would do it.

It will surely backfire - Obama is too good a speaker and can engender trust and hope in people like noone has for many years - throw shit at him, and he'll just catch it, put it down and wipe his hands.

More <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23736254/">here</a>. Not really a big deal, ultimately, but a perhaps ironic example of the risks we run with large governmental organizations entrusted with important matters. Good job on detecting the problem, though.

prolly some stupid kids with some high level security access...
buuuuuttt... if obama is all about transparency.. well here it is, if it leaks. i mean its just travel - but it seems this history goes back to obama's childhood, to when he traveled with his mom to indonesia.. but overall, it is a privacy violation. and not cool

Story
CNN) -- The State Department has confirmed a breach on Sen. Barack Obama's passport file, his campaign said."This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton in a statement.
"Our government's duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes."
The campaign called for a complete investigation to find out who looked at Obama's passport file and why.
