This recent crime by Chinese computer hackers is horrific. With complete disregard for the privacy of these offices, individuals stole the private information of American citizens and sought to sabotage our government. The Members of Congress who were victims of these acts have been long-time champions for human rights in China; this is not how they should be rewarded for their tireless efforts.

Every day, Congressional offices deal with constituents’ privileged information and it is imperative that Congress work to protect our government and the people we represent from the future threat of computer hackers. I hope that President Bush remembers this incident when dealing with China in the future and that he carefully looks into this incident before sending sensitive security information technology to the Chinese.
