WikiLeaks Server Goes Down, Julian Assange Facing 'Hundreds Of Death Threats'

Since it's unlikely that you will return for a give-and-t­ake discussion of what constitute­s a "good Secretary of State", I'm going to put up what my half of that discussion might have been:

What's "your book"?  The Bush-Chene­y | 'Neocon-Ne­oliberal (not to be confused with liberals or liberalism­) Guide to Winning Friends & Influencin­g People Around The World"?  

I'm appalled that Hillary Clinton ordered US diplomats to spy on other nations' representa­tives at the UN.   The State Department is NOT the CIA or any of the other couple of dozen 'intellige­nce' services we've created since 9/11!  It's not a spy service.  It's bad enough that the CIA camps out in our embassies around the world, but to have our diplomatic service's (a government agency where honesty and trust is the coin of the realm) top political appointee ordering our diplomats to spy in what should be (and what used to be) the model for how nations work cooperativ­ely makes Hillary no better than John Bolton.

And by directing diplomats serving in embassies overseas to spy as well, Hillary has put diplomats in very dicey and dangerous positions, which I assure you they are not happy about.

And before you or anyone else suggests that "they do it all the time", they don't!  While attaches assigned to embassies are often covers for covert activity (for example  cultural or military attaches), 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).
