Reading articles like this makes me angry when I think how people screamed about what Newt Gingrich said. The State Department is more of a not-so-underground, anti-American bureaocracy than anything else.

I agree.

I have one source who is former State Department and possibly agency analyst (you know how tight-lipped they can be.) This person remains convinced that our DOS is filled w/people who are *non-partisan* and *have only the overiding interests of the USA* at heart.This is a deeply-held conviction.

The problem, as I see it, is that we differ mightily on on definitions.

And yes: the source is a Dem, but over the past 3 years has inched towards the center and only recently disavowed both Clintons in regards to future political positions. I am sending him this article, as I have been making sure he is up to date on all of Mowbray's reporting. His friends in State are suddenly quite non-communicative on this topic, I am told.

I am looking forward to some sort of showdown w/these liberals/ME clients in the DOS.
