http://www.msnbc.com/news/459043.asp?cp1=1 Newsweek One of the USJD's troubleshooters engaged in "egregious misconduct," including improperly using his position to obtain a visa for a Russian with whom he was having an "intimate" relationship and then lying about it to investigators, according to a department report. The report finds veteran official Robert Bratt's conduct was only part of a pattern of serious security failures within the same unit, including leaving highly classified documents unsecured on desks, sending classified information by email over an unsecured computer system and distributing secret documents to outside contractors and others that did not have clearance to receive them.
