From NBC's Libby Leist
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said this morning she has spoken to Obama today to express her regret over the unauthorized passport breaches. She did not know about it until yesterday and could not comment whether any laws were broken
"I told him that I was sorry, and I told him that I myself would be very disturbed if I learned somebody had looked into my passport," she said. "We are very concerned about this."
"We are going to do an investigation through the inspector general, who will get to the bottom of it to make certain nothing ... was going on"
The State Department is in contact with Obama's office and will provide briefings. "None of us wants to have a circumstance in which any Americans passport file is looked at in an unauthorized way," Rice added.

What type of information could someone see by looking up your passport? Your home address? I don't see the issue.

P.S. your NBC link just goes to the main page not the story.

Well, scuse me. wouldn't wanna put you out any. I'll bet if you looked as I did, you could find it. BTW, they could see where you've visited for the time since you've had a passport and make up stories about why you went there like all the other stories they make up.

Ah ok - I didn't see the problem with passports- but honestly, if you are running for office, especially the highest office in the land, shouldn't your travel history be open to the public?

I would assume so, but that info should be accessed with the full knowledge of the candidate before it is accessed. Would that not be the prudent way?
