Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday told Sen. Hillary Clinton that the security of her passport file were breached in 2007, according to Clinton's Senate official.

The revelation came shortly after Rice said she hed apologized to Clinton's Democratic presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama for the unauthorized viewing of his passport file by contractors working for the State Department.

Two contractors were fired and a third was disciplined after they accessed Obama's file, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Thursday.

Rice told reporters on Friday that she had apologized to Obama and that the breaches would be investigated.

"I told him I was sorry and I told him that I myself would be very disturbed in anyone had looked at my passport filed and that, therefore, I will stay on top of this," Rice said.

*****UPDATE: The State Department confirms John McCain’s passport file was breached as well as Obama and Clinton's files.*****

  • For you conspiracy theorists,,,
    What if the State Department has thrown Clinton and McCain's names in the mix to deflect away from the original issue of tampering with Obama's private documents? I'm not ruling anything out where this administration is concerned. Sneaky little buggers that they be.

  • If it is true, then the candidates finally know how
    Americans feel, when any personal information is available to any schmuck without a warrant.

  • This is when the Bush "Spin Doctors" (not the band, okay?) play at their dirtiest to keep suspicion at bay by, inadvertantly, creating more.

  • I'm not one for conspiracy theories: but I find very fishy indeed.

  • If it originally was a plan to smear Obama with doctored documentation, a little known politician of the opposition would've quietly broken the twisted story to a major Media source to be backed up later by another, very well known, party member who would rant and rave about the alledged offense. That's how it's done on "The Hill". There's always a story behind the story. Let's wait and see.
