I'm not pretending to imagine the skillset of a 'diplomat' stationed at the Russian embassy in Iraq in 2002/early 2003.

I am aware, however, how language and 'titles' are used to deceive and obsecure the truth.

I remember my initial reaction to the Russian convoy - 'what the heck are THEY doing there'? That question still hasn't been answered.

It was answered - they were evacuating their embassy staff.
