Candidates' Passports

You know a lot has been made of the candidates' passports being
"compromised" over the last few months. While this in itself isn't as
big a deal as the media is making it, there are some troubling
questions.
1. Why did it take this long to come out?
2. Why didn't the head of the department (which would be... Condi
Rice) know about it when it happened?
3. What information was taken from it and who was it given to? (Though
there isn't much "dirt" in a passport file, though it does pose a risk
via identity theft, though in this case I don't think that's an issue.
It's more likely to be a means of someone with an agenda to get
something on one of the candidates that could be used maliciously.)
4. Why hasn't EVERYONE caught snooping been fired and investigated for
breach of privacy laws?
5. Why were these files only "flagged" and not blocked access?

Just some thoughts...
