Documents given to former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill for a book contained classified information, according to a letter his successor John Snow sent to Congress on Friday. The letter, obtained by The Associated Press, said that a preliminary investigation conducted by the Treasury Department’s inspector general found that sensitive information was released in the documents given to O’Neill when he left the department. The "documents were not properly reviewed before their release," said the letter signed by Snow. It also said, "We have identified a number of documents that contain classified information and we are taking corrective action concerning those documents."
D’oh! How the hell did that get in there? |
