Edwards Calls VA Security Breach “Inexcusable”
June 8, 2006—Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco, has joined the call for an independent GAO investigation of the data theft that put 26.5 million U.S. veterans and possibly more than two million active duty troops in danger of identity theft.
Personal information about the veterans and active duty personnel was contained in a laptop computer that was stolen after a break-in at the home of a VA analyst last month.
“This breach of faith with our veterans and service men and women is simply inexcusable,” Edwards said.
