"The episodes raised questions as to whether the actions by the Bush administration were politically motivated." Yep. Which will, of course, only be answered when the FBI comes up with answers for these three questions: 1) Who accessed the files, and who did they pass the information along to? 2) When did the supervisors know of the breach (& when did they take action against the perps and mount the official investigation)? Third question, IMO, likely has greater long-term salience: Why are controls so weak, and is it necessary/helpful to address data privacy regulations --- since we have now documented such a long stream of such data breaches?
