Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday told Sen. Hillary Clinton
that the security of her passport file were breached in 2007, according to
Clinton's Senate official.

The revelation came shortly after Rice said she had apologized to Clinton's
Democratic presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama for the unauthorized
viewing of his passport file by contractors working for the State
Department.

Two contractors were fired and a third was disciplined after they accessed
Obama's file, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Thursday.

Rice told reporters on Friday that she had apologized to Obama and that the
breaches would be investigated.
