Hatred ever kills, love never dies; such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.
- Mohandas K. Gandhi

And Kevin Drum the full report here along with a "geek summary."

Basically, the problem was the fault of the sysadmin, who left permissions open so that anyone could access the documents on the network. Apparently, no one ever reported this security failure to the sysadmin, who was fresh out of college. One Republican staffer, after showing her a few hundred pages of Dem documents he had pilfered, was told that this was unethical and the documents were shredded, but the problem was still never reported to the admin.

So, luckily, we didn't have any of our elected officials hiring hackers or anything, so the situation wasn't as bad as it could have been. It sounds like it was handled moderately well by both sides, except for the failure to report the problem to the sysadmin and the fact that some of the memos were leaked to people who shouldn't have had access to them.

Speaking of Kevin Drum, looks like congratulations are in order for him.

Finally, Josh Marshall has some more details and some more questions here. He basically says that it looks like the trail of the investigation leads to both the White House and the Justice Department, but the investigators were blocked from following those leads.
