Laptop-GAU im State Department

Jetzt sieht es so aus, als würde sich der verlorenen Laptop
im US State Department zu einem der schlimmsten Fälle in
der Geschichte entwickeln. Außenministerin Albright ist

The laptop computer missing from the State Department
contained thousands of classified documents about arms

suspects, including contractors who have been renovating the
area, the official said.

A person familiar with the laptop incident said an official had
propped open the door of the secure conference room, that
contractors lacking security clearances were working in the
sensitive area, that the contractors were not properly
escorted, and that the laptop had not been properly secured.
