Specter calls for passport breach investigation

In an interview with CNN yesterday, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called on Congress and the Justice Department to investigate the breaching of Obama’s, Clinton’s, and McCain’s passport records.

"There are federal criminal statutes involved. I think that ought to be a very intense investigation. I think privacy is a very fundamental matter"…"I think it ought to be something for Attorney General Mukasey, and I think that it may well be something for the Senate Judiciary Committee, where I’m the ranking member."
