For "on-line game friend's" eyes only
The world of online games is a great place to meet new people with whom to socialize, compete and share internal government documents. Wait, what was that last one?
TPMMuckraker.com has the story on Fish and Wildlife Services appointee Julie McDonald, who's in a bit of hot water for sharing agency reports with oil company lobbyists and what an inspector general's report calls an "on-line game friend." According to the report, McDonald sent the documents because "she feels frustrated at times" and wanted "another set of eyes [to] give an unfiltered opinion ... negative comments included."
The report doesn't go into detail on what games McDonald plays, but it does point out that she "engages in these games to relieve the stress created by her job." We're personally enamored with the idea of this government bureaucrat casting magic spells with this friend one minute and using them as a sort of therapist/proofreader the next. It makes you wonder how many other government secrets are being shared over game servers at this very moment.
