Wife of M-I-6 Head Blew Husband's Cover on Facebook

The Times of London reports:

"The wife [Shelley] of the new head of MI6 [Sir John Sawers] has caused a major security breach and left his family exposed after publishing photographs and personal details on Facebook....

" Once the Foreign Office had been informed of the faux pas all the material was removed from the internet. The move suggests that MI6 or the Foreign Office had not vetted the information the Sawers family shared over the internet."

Below are a few rather amusing comments from Times readers:

"What's in a name? Plenty -- think twice before marrying anyone with a name like Shelley."

"Proof that MI6 can function without intelligence!"

"I cant believe the next head of M16 married someone so dim and with such a clear lack of understanding of her husbands pending position that she posts family details on facebook, in fact if she has this much time on her hands, perhaps she should consider charity work, or something more fulfilling."

"Sounds all very MI6 to me. All very dashing. All very dumb."
