Answers not given in today's State Dept. press conference
1) Who was the contractor? (they should ask us: Computer Sciences Corporation a subsidiary of DynCorp)

2) If flags automatically went up, why were there TWO breaches on Obama's file after the January one?

Why wasn't the third person who looked at Obama's file (and apparently McCain's as well) on 3/14 fired?

6. he said "since the whole story looks like a new Watergate scandal"
at which point there was LOUD laughter in the room (I'd love to know who was laughing... no serious reporters, I'll bet)

8. after the conferenc, the light s dimmed and reporters came up to the podium
and it looked like they were commenting on his "iron-fisted" control of the press conference (and not in a bad way)

7. So if high profile files get flagged...
Why stop there. Why aren't these locked?
Anyone with a valid reason to access them would be given an access code.

I am sure glad my customer's records aren't in as sloppy a system as the State Dept. appears to have.

10. I'd like to see a video of that press conference
Especially the laughter scene - it would be interesting to have that aired in journalism classes.
