WASHINGTON An Associated Press analysis of hacked data from the cheating website Ashley Madison shows that subscribers to the online service included hundreds of U.S. government civilian and military employees. Some had sensitive jobs in the White House, Congress and law enforcement agencies.
The AP's investigation found that subscribers included at least two assistant U.S. attorneys, an IT administrator in the Executive Office of the President, a division chief, an investigator and a trial attorney in the Justice Department, a government hacker at the Homeland Security Department and another DHS employee who indicated he worked on a U.S. counterterrorism response team.
The AP traced their government Internet connections.

I had to let a good person go because they spent too much time on the internet. Order came from high up.

It not only indicates a level of immorality but an astonishing level of stupidity! Let the chips fall where they may. The upper levels of the military are no exception...as Petraeus has proved.
