How to Turn Off WikiLeaks

Monday, November 29, 2010

Oh come now, you can't really believe that? State is one of the top venues for CIA guys, embassies and diplomats always are. I'd guess a third of every nation's diplomatic personnel are spying in one manner or another. Maybe more.

You do realize State has it's own police force and espionage units right?
==========­==========­==========­==========

You, are misinforme­d.

Attaches assigned to embassies are often covers for covert activity, for example  cultural or military attaches.  But they're not part of the regular diplomatic corps.  

Diplomatic corps personnel should be insulated from espionage activities and to have that barrier breached is very troubling.  

Other nations do have spies in their diplomatic delegation­s to the UN, and they presume everyone else does the same thing.  BUT WE DON'T.  Or at least we haven't (not before the Bush administra­tion and John Bolton, at least).

State has their own privately contracted bodyguards (not "police", and not any "espionage unit"), and that, too, is something that just happened under Bush, and is also a huge mistake.
