P2P Network Exposes Obama's Safehouse Location

Posted by timothy on Wednesday July 29, 2009 @08:20AM from the this-is-an-unsecured-channel-please-acknowledge dept.

Lucas123 writes "The location of the safe house used in times of emergency for the First Family was leaked on a LimeWire file-sharing network recently, a fact revealed today to members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Along with the safe house location, the LimeWire networks also disclosed presidential motorcade routes, as well as sensitive but unclassified document that listed details on every nuclear facility in the country. Now lawmakers are considering a bill to ban P2P use on government, contractor networks."

To the power-grabbing, meglomaniacal nanny state committee-rats in congress, here's an idea: clean your own house first.
You're completely discounting the possibility that this data was planted on LimeWire by the government expressly in order to give them this exact leverage.
Those files could be completely false, for all we know.
People that take action based on this allegation alone are dumb, dumb, dumb.
