MI Bad

santisbeeDidja hear about the scandal @ MI6, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service? James Bond would never be caught wearing a Santa hat while playing Frisbee with his children on a beach!


LONDON (AP) - He's the spy who came in from the beach.

Holiday snapshots and family details about the newly appointed head of Britain's MI6 intelligence agency have been removed from a Facebook page after a newspaper told the government about them.

Pictures from the social networking Web site published in the Mail on Sunday newspaper show John Sawers posing with his children, wearing a Santa hat and playing Frisbee on a beach.

The paper said the information was posted by Sawers' wife on her Facebook page. It included vacation photos, details about the couple's three children and the location of their London home.

Shelley Sawers' page has been removed from the site, although a cached page can still be viewed that shows a picture of the spy chief's wife.

Some politicians called the details a security lapse - but others said they revealed nothing but a few mildly embarrassing domestic details.
