[release]The Australian government launched an investigation Sunday into how a classified booklet detailing Barack Obama's itinerary came to be lost in a gutter during the president's visit last week.
Journalist Dylan Welch of The Age newspaper reported that he found the 125-page booklet on Thursday about 100 yards from Parliament House in Canberra, where Obama attended several functions during his 27-hour Australian visit.
The booklet contained details on Obama's itinerary, his security convoy and the cell phone numbers of senior U.S. and Australian officials.
Professor Alan Dupont, an analyst based at Sydney University, described the incident as a "significant security breach."
"If that had got into the wrong hands, it would certainly put the president and some of his entourage at risk," Dupont told the newspaper.

Guys, this thread is easy to make puns for.
It's a metaphor that corresponds with the physicality of the article.
It's pun gold!
Looks like his hopes for a more peaceful relationship went down the drain
Well, that's his safety down the drain.
The man was never to be heard from again.

It was in the possession of top men.
Top men.

wouldn't it be up?
Clearly someone just dropped it in the gutter and was on his way to tell his daddy so he could get it back out, when someone else found them.

Yeah watch out for our local branch of kangaroo mounted al-Qaeda death squads. But seriously there's no one in fucking Canberra (the most boring city on earth) who would be interesting enough to do anything to Obama if they had that information, most of which was public knowledge, ie Obama visits a school, then parliament, then Gillard's house etc.
I guess this happens a lot, When Bush jr was president he made a visit to Hawaii, my father was a part of the military security detail (he was in pearl harbor visiting). Well the secret service or someone left the operational binder/security plans in his government vehicle. It had plans and times for everything, i remember him saying that it even had the locations of hidden snipers and all that shit. Kinda crazy for something like that just to be lost. I suppose it can happen because it is a a lot of work protecting the president.
