Oh, this is just perfect. Where's Rove? Have ALL the Bush security clearences been revoked yet?

I want to know WHOM the contractor WAS for the new helicopter that President Obama stated would not be built until the 'acquistion process' was fixed !?!?!?? I want an investigation and the contractor involved with the new helicopter that has been scrapped should never be allowed to BID on a government contract again !!!!!

An Internet security company claims that Iran has taken advantage of a computer security breach to obtain engineering and communications information about Marine One, President Barack Obama's helicopter, according to a report by WPXI, NBC's affiliate in Pittsburgh.
Tiversa, headquartered in Cranberry Township, Pa., reportedly discovered a security breach that led to the transfer of military information to an Iranian IP address, according to WPXI. The information is said to include planned engineering upgrades, avionic schematics, and computer network information.
The channel quoted the company's CEO, Bob Boback, who said Tiversa found a file containing the entire blueprints and avionics package for Marine One.
"What appears to be a defense contractor in Bethesda, Md., had a file-sharing program on one of their systems that also contained highly sensitive blueprints for Marine One," Boback told WPXI.
Tiversa makes products that monitor the sharing of files online. A representative for the company was not immediately available for comment.
Boback believes that the files probably were transferred through a peer-to-peer file-sharing network such as LimeWire or BearShare, then compromised.
