One of the next stories that will be playing at a theater near you will be the scandal surrounding the White House's use of public email addresses in order to leave no subpoena-able traces in their dealings. Rove, in particular, apparently did 95% of his e-communication on a public ISP, rather than on the government's secure email domain.
Josh Marshall quickly pointed out that the entire notion of executive privilege is called into question if they are interacting in this way, but this post at Kos points to a broader issue, namely, the fact that the use of an insecure network threatens sensitive information and opens the secure network up to easier access to hackers and other nefarious elements.
If Rove and these dunderheads got their secure IDs swiped by using public ISPs to play hide and seek from their legal requirement to log all of their correspondence, they've not only committed a felony, they may have crossed the line into treasonous negligence.
