WHITE HOUSE SECURITY BREACH

It happened in Dick Cheney's office. Between this and male escorts disguising as reporters, this is the most porous White House in history.

Espionage Case Suggests White House Security Problem

The discovery that a former White House staff member allegedly used his top secret clearance to steal classified intelligence documents indicates there are serious gaps in high-level White House security, a former White House counterterrorism expert says.

"What it means is that there is a hole in White House security," Richard Clarke, a former White House adviser who is now an ABC News consultant. "There are two kinds of people at the White House: Those that have been very well-vetted and those that have been extremely well-vetted and have access to the top secret computer network. This man had access to the top secret computer network."

Sources tell ABC News that Leandro Aragoncillo, a U.S. Marine most recently assigned to the staff of Vice President Dick Cheney, stole classified material from the vice president's office, included damaging dossiers on the president of the Philippines, and then passed them on to opposition politicians planning a coup in the Pacific nation. Sources said a former Philippine president has admitted that he received some information from the alleged spy. The case was first reported by ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross.

Time to intern Filipinos in camps maybe?

That includes you, Michelle Malkin!

We're at war, you know.

Birds of a feather...

Watching the coverage on some of the networks last night made a big deal that this guy started in Gore's office and was "asked to stay on" by Cheney's office. Anyone else hear this? Of course he could have been the janitor and our great media would be sure to mention it if it reflected badly on Dems.
