Condoleezza Rice Aides, Colin Powell Also Got Classified Info on Personal Emails

Source: NBC News

State Department officials have determined that classified information was sent to the personal email accounts of former Secretary of State Colin Powell and the senior staff of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, NBC News has learned.

In an interview with NBC News, Powell challenged the conclusion, saying nothing that went to his personal account was secret. Rice did not initially respond to an interview request.

None of the messages were marked classified when originally sent, and none were determined to include information from the intelligence community, Linick said in the document.

Powell, who served as secretary from 2001 to 2005, said he used a personal email account because State's email system was slow and cumbersome. Powell is credited with modernizing State's computer infrastructure, which did not at the time allow each employee to have the internet at their desks.

The sad thing for me is that the State Department in 2001 had an inadequate computer system.

how our version of the tea party will use republican hammers. It's like they are too lazy and too insincere to come up with their own attacks.

The ends justify the means. Where have we heard that before?
