Right, you make it sounds so simple. Why don't you design a system that is foolproof against the acts of a rogue employee if you are so smart. It's impossible. The fact is, in the end it all comes down to trust. Yes you can take precautions by doing background checks on potential employees and having data protection systems in place. You can have your employees read and sign statements about data protection. I think it was probably clear to all involved that this was sensitive information - it was apparently only in the possession of two people, one of whom appears to have put it on youtube.
Annabelle appears to have been punished with the loss of her job. According to my sources it was a very well-paid job, and it may be she will have difficulty finding one that pays as well. Perhaps by allowing her to resign she has been allowed to preserve a little piece of her reputation and will have a slightly easier time finding other employment.
You all have a lot of sympathy for John West despite the fact that his behaviour has been pretty questionable (I make an exception for Aardvark who has repeatedly pointed out that John West has behaved badly). Why not show a little sympathy for Annabelle who appears also to have behaved badly and has suffered the consequences. But no, Annabelle is close to the party leadership whom you hate, and so rather than giving her the benefit of the doubt or according her a little sympathy you all scream that the party must pursue her WITH THE UTMOST VIGOUR.
That spells H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y in my book, but then I've come to expect it from you and your ilk.
