Obama’s Terrorism czar was employeer of man involved in passport breach at State Department last year – is there any new information on this?

At the time it happened, John O. Brennan (now Homeland Security/Terrorism Czar) was an advisor for Obamas presidential campaign and CEO of TAC. One of the persons responsible for the unauthorized searches worked there as an employee through TAC.

Passport breach being investigated

“After being alerted yesterday by a Washington Times reporter to improper retrieval of Sen. Barack Obamas personal information, State Department officials announced today that a review had found intrusions into the files of Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain as well.”

“The State Department last night said one of the persons responsible for the inappropriate behavior was employed by an information technology firm headed by one of Mr. Obamas foreign intelligence advisors.”

“The State Department this evening had not yet released the names of the persons responsible for the unauthorized searches but said two were employed by Stanley Inc. and the third was an employee of The Analysis Corp. (TAC). Stanley Inc., a 3,500-person firm, is an Arlington-based information technology firm that this week won a $570 million contract to continue providing passport services to the State Department, which the company has done since 1992, according to Stanley Inc.s Web site. TAC is a McLean-based information firm that has helped the State Department automate the Terrorist Watchlist over the last several years, the companys Web site said. TACs Chief Executive Officer John O. Brennan is a former CIA agent who is an adviser to Mr. Obamas presidential campaign.”

MSNBC had reported at the time that
- two contractors involved in the Obama search were dismissed before investigators had a chance to interview them
- This contract employee has been reprimanded, but not fired.

It just seems strange that an incident that was serious enough for then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to make a statement about, but one didn’t even get fired – is that the one that worked for TAC? That’s what it seems like to me from this article http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ackyapAMTtMY That is why i’m asking this question – is there any new information on this?
