A pair of “contract employees” for the State Department has been shown the door after it was discovered they were taking a peak at Barack Obama’s passport file, which is not allowed. A third person, says the Associated Press, basically got yelled at.

“Imprudent curiosity” is what the State Department is calling it. Leave it to them to make something simple sound complex!

The Obama folks, though, don’t seem happy with the explanation given and are calling for a full investigation.

Says a spokesman for Obama, “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,” according to the A.P.

Perhaps the State Department will hang the offenders?
