Hellooooooo- Why do we have a GPO (government printing office)????? Why do so many government decisions lack common sense?? Who are the idiots in the State Department who decided to have one of the most sensitive documents, a US passport, printed oeverseas???? He/she really ought to have their head examined. A third grader (given very basic facts) would know enough not to allow this to happen. Does the State Department really think that there won't be theft of these blank passports? Come on...get your heads out of the darkness. I do not believe that the State Department has the right to sell out on our national security and I, a citizen and taxpayer of the USA, demand that this decision be rescinded and the GPO do the printing here in our country. Your decision has comprimised our national security and you do not have the right to do that. What do you say to that?

Additionally, I think the State Department needs a good clean sweep to get rid of some people. Who adivsed the President about the illegal Mexican who murdered two teenagers in Texas? And shame on the President for listening to you. You clearly ill-advised the President and shame on him for not doing his homework. He also lacked common sense. And you wanted to hand that illegal Mexican over to the world court? Good for the State of Texas for not buckling. The world court...give me a break. We, the citizens of the USA listen to OUR courts and no world court will ever overtake our courts.

That murder out to go out the way he took those two poor teenagers out and no one should feel sorry for him or be looking to give him any kind of compensation. The persons in the State Department responsible for ill-advising the President should be fired. Then you and the President should have to go and sit with the families of those two teenagers. Shame on all of you.

As a Canadian who just recently went through the passport application for Canada, This is ridiculous. The entire point of a passport is to ensure national security and identity. does this mean nothing to your government when they outsource production of the skeleton documents? Why don't we just let Iraq manufacture them an those "responsible" for 9/11 (I've got my own opinion on that one...) can get their hands on a few blan copies. Nothing says welcome home like a passport, right? One blank copy of an american passport being leaked out of these manufacturing facilities could potentially lead to a HUGE threat to national security. What do I have to say about this? I'm glad I live in Canada. . .
