Seems like someone inside the House of Commons may be tweeting private information. I hpoe they are cought, and have the book thrown at them. Why do I get a feeling that someone who likes to swear might be involved......

A user account on the social networking site Twitter that's being used to post personal information on Public Safety Minister Vic Toews has been linked to an IP address on Parliament Hill.
The anonymous account uses an IP address that originates within the House of Commons, the Ottawa Citizen reported Friday.
An IP address is a unique number that identifies computers in a network, which suggests that someone who works on Parliament Hill may be posting Toews's personal information online.
The Twitter feed was set up on Feb. 14 and has already garnered more than 8,000 followers.
Messages posted on the page include details on topics such as Toews's spending habits and other more personal matters, including his divorce.
The IP address used to administer the Twitter account has also been used to update Wikipedia articles, apparently to give them a pro-NDP slant, the Citizen reported.
Toews has faced pointed and personal criticism for leading the federal charge to pass a controversial online surveillance bill that was tabled in the House of Commons earlier this week.
On Thursday, the popular social media site featured a deluge of Tweets labelled #TellVicEverything.
"I spend a lot more work hours than I should on Twitter — but you probably already knew that," one user tweeted.
