"Imprudent Curiosity."
Hello Everyone,
Well, let's define "Imprudent Curiosity." Is that the same as, "I need to get something else on this guy besides his preacher" or "The Information they have on us is very secure!". What then is "Prudent" curiosity, someone who does need to look at Obama's passport?.
"George is a little monkey, and all monkeys are curious. But no monkey is as curious as George or as IT contractors!"
IT - ContractorsBR - As "Curious B"
What do you mean?
If you would of read the link to the article and what they are saying about the breach in accessing Obama's Passport information.
He is a quote from the article
March 20, 2008 (Computerworld) Private contract employees working for the U.S. Department of State have repeatedly accessed U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's passport records over the past three months — a breach flagged by the State Department's in-house computer system but subsequently downplayed by the supervisors of the offices in which the breaches occurred. Two of those workers have been fired by their employers. The Obama campaign is seeking answers as to how it happened, and a broader investigation is now in the works. (See FAQ: The Obama breach: What exactly is a passport record?)
The actions of the three separate workers, employees of two different contractors, were described Thursday night by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack as "imprudent curiosity." But he said that is only an "initial finding" and said the department's inspector general has been asked to investigate. Details about the breach emerged in a late-night, hastily called press conference by State Department officials.
Wow, no need to be rude. I just didn't see the ambiguity. Imprudent curiosity is imprudent curiosity. It's curiosity exercised without discretion. Like if I knew Suzi's real name and then used public records to find out where she lives and how much she paid for her house, and then I showed up at her house uninvited. That's imprudent curiosity.
Am sorry Barb, I did mean to be rude, I am at a coffee shop, hope you understand.

I did NOT mean to be rude, gee, to much coffee!

Someday they'll let us edit our own posts.
I think it's an exercise in humility: they want us to see all our own tpyso.
Did you forgive?

That depends on whether you and Suzi are filing restraining orders against me after the imprudent scenario I suggested above. Now that I think of it, Suzi's been quiet for awhile. She's probably already busy filling out the paperwork! ;-)
heheh.....Why would I stop at something as unenforcable as a restraining order? You underestimate me Barbara. ;-)
Acutally, I've been out Easter Bunny shopping for the grandsons. I have a bit more to do, but came home for a bit first.
You can get Matchbox cars 15 for 9.99 at ToysRUS. I stocked up yesterday!
hippity hop hop...
I have heard that all three candidates' files were accessed during training sessions. The only time it *wasn't* during a training session, that time, it was only Obama and McCain's files that were accessed. Makes you wonder...
Darth Hillary Strickes again!

These are IT contractors, it is not clear as why they needed to access live files for training. Usually when we train people in IT we never user the live database.

Searching Obama's travels...
I believe it could be a Sean Hannity reporter paying off the Contractors to research Sen. Obama's travels and verify if he did attend one of thos fiery sermons.
It that a stretch...I wonder so much has transpired lately and if you can't shut Sen Obama down by his preacher then find other ways.
Sean Hannity has been relentless if anyone has noticed?
I think you give Sean Hannity a bit too much credit. He is an ideologue - a dangerous one, but hardly that powerful.
I don't know here. 3 different people at 3 different times..
I smell rove...
dd, that IS a stretch, because USA travel wouldn't show up in passport files.
I agree about Sean Hannity, and his radio show has been even worse! See this thread....http://www.republicansforobama.org/?q=node/712
This is huge issue and Obama has asked Congress to investigate. On the newsletters I have been receiving from the computer world, it is breach of some kind. The contractors did not heed the warnings. Here are the main questions from the newsletters in the IT world:
Questions are being posed on a rapid-fire basis:
Why weren't key State Department officials notified about the incidents, which were flagged by the agency's security monitoring system?
How extensive were the breaches?
And what is being done to keep it from happening again?
