That Negroponte is putting up roadblocks worries me. He's not the usual State Dept type. He needs to be a little smarter about this though, release what is necessary to prove that there were, in fact, WMDs and other connections to terror before he ends up destroying this country while attempting to protect it.
I don't remember the incident you are asking about with the Russian envoy on the road to Syria.
I'm pretty surprised at how tone deaf politically Negroponte is about the tapes and the value of Americans hearing them.
It's vital, imo. Absolutely vital to the success of the war on terror.
