I think it is time to call out the freepers in disguise here. by attacking senator obama's passport files, the republican administration is continuing the treachery that began in watergate, and has continued to this day. these are fascist moves by a fascist party that seeks not to win through elections, but by intimidation, illegal surveillance, personal invasion, and as we've seen with governor siegelman, when all else fails, by corruption and brutality.
Pray tell: what has been done with B Hussein O's passport info? How has that been used to defame him? How COULD it?
As for Ex-Gov. Seigelmen...you'll have to speak to the jury of his peers that convicted him by unanimous vote after reviewing evidence that established guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
EDIT: BTW - I'll see your passport breach that got 2 idiots fored and raise you the FBI files of 500 GOP politicians and operatives.
THAT'S YOUR ILLEGAL SPYING (and all done without FISA extensions or a legitmate national security threat).
