Stolen VA data included 50,000 active personnel

Gotta love all the new ways the Bush administration finds to "support the troops":

VA Secretary Jim Nicholson said his agency discovered after an internal investigation that the names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of up to 20,000 National Guard and Reserve personnel who were on at least their second active-duty call-up were "potentially included."

In addition, the same information on up to 30,000 active-duty Navy personnel who completed their first enlistment term prior to 1991 also were believed to be stored on the computer laptop and disks stolen from a VA data analyst on May 3.
