Sanford regains his security clearance

Gov. Mark Sanford has his national security clearance back, after it had been suspended by the federal Department of Homeland Security. You see, it’s usually not OK to give security clearance to a guy that is having an affair with a foreign national. However, after Sanford’s apologies, he’s back in the good graces of the federal government.

According to a story in The Post & Courier, Sanford’s suspension was “made in error.” If so, that’s quite an error. The paper says, “It was unclear late Thursday whether the suspension was related to Sanford’s secret trip last month to Argentina to meet his mistress.”
