In light of the Obama birth certificate controversy...

Now, I've been doing my level best to try to debunk the Obama birth certificate "scandal".


I analyzed the high-resolution Kos scan, for instance, and was able to tease out what appears to be a faint seal and signature block.

That said, some (and I apologize, but I honestly can't remember who it was) reminded me of this little story:

Passport files of candidates breached

State Department employees snooped through the passport files of three presidential candidates — Sens. Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain — and the department's inspector general is investigating... The incidents raise questions as to whether the information was accessed for political purposes and why two contractors involved in the Obama search were dismissed before investigators had a chance to interview them...

And this one:

Two Fired for Viewing Obama Passport File

Two State Department employees were fired and a third has been disciplined for improperly accessing Sen. Barack Obama's passport file, the State Department announced last night... Senior department officials said they learned of the incidents only when a reporter made an inquiry yesterday afternoon. They said an initial investigation indicated that the employees -- all of whom worked on contract -- were motivated by "imprudent curiosity."

...Bill Burton, spokesman for Obama's presidential campaign, called the incidents "an outrageous breach of security and privacy." He said this is "a serious matter that merits a complete investigation," adding that the campaign will "demand to know who looked at Senator Obama's passport file, for what purpose, and why it took so long for them to reveal this security breach."

Hillary's agents are diabolical, aren't they?

They knew about this burgeoning scandal months ago. Heh!
