Gore Says “White House Filipino Employees Valued”

ABC Keeps Pouring The Kool Aid—“Love You Long Time”

ABC News is still rowing their boat upstream without a paddle today. The new headline reads: “White House Spy Probe Shows Computer Vulnerability”

The proliferation of computers and network technology has made it a lot easier to create and share vital information. Sometimes, too easy.

Leandro Aragoncillo, a former White House staff member, was arrested last month for allegedly using his top secret security clearance to download more than 100 classified intelligence documents and pass them to others – mostly via e-mail, say federal prosecutors.

More worrisome, federal investigators believe Aragoncillo may have been spying for his Philippine contacts for more than three years.

How could this type of espionage case have been prevented? Security experts and computer industry consultants offer mixed views.

Richard Clarke, former White House advisor on cyber-security and now an ABC News consultant, told ABC News' "Good Morning America" that the espionage case clearly shows how far government computer networks lag behind corporate systems in terms of online security and monitoring programs.


Same song, different verse.

ABC is actually telling you the facts without correcting their original premise—that Aragoncillo stole secrets from Dick Cheney’s office.

Let me say this again:

The “100 classified intelligence documents” were stolen from FBI computers AFTER Aragoncillo left the White House.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore hired Aragoncillo. You got that?

President Bush is only guilty of keeping him on staff, along with dozens if not hundreds of other Clinton era employees in the name of CONTINUITY.

Does anyone actually believe that President Bush showed up on inauguration day with busses filled with employees and moving vans full of new computer systems?

Finally, does anyone actually believe ANYTHING that Richard Clarke has to say?

I thought not…
