Go, Henry...!!

(this post is as much to tweak section9's nose as it is to report on waxman's latest inquiry...)
The head of the House Committee on Oversight and Governance Reform warned today of a "systematic failure" in basic security procedures as well as the safeguarding of classified information in the White House of President George W. Bush.

"Multiple current and former White House security personnel have informed my staff that White House practices have been dangerously inadequate with respect to investigating security violations, taking corrective action following breaches, and physically securing classified information," Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) wrote to former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card today.

Waxman sought Card's cooperation in his probe of a "systematic breakdown" in White House security procedures.

i'm glad this is being followed up... after knodell's revelations at the scooter libby trial, and the recent disclosure that rnc servers were routinely used by numerous white house staff for official government communications, any it director would (and should) be crapping little green apples... the fact that it involves the white house and therefore the country's most sensitive classified information, is deeply troubling...
