Obama’s transition team improperly sent confidential email in 2008

The New York Post reports:
President Obama’s transition team improperly ­e-mailed sensitive and confidential information about a candidate for a high-level government job, newly disclosed WikiLeaks e-mails reveal.

Days before Obama won his first term in 2008, a Washington lobbyist circulated an e-mail about James Steinberg, a former Clinton- administration official who was being vetted as Obama’s national security adviser.

The Nov. 2, 2008, e-mail from lobbyist and lawyer Christine Varney contained an attachment with Steinberg’s security-clearance questionnaire. The 61-page document is called a “Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF86 Format).”
Shouldn't someone be held accountable for this?
