You haven't a clue how it operates or what it does.

Nor does the Secretary of State apparently. I see how it operates. Summed up in a short phrase it's "damned poorly" in my estimation.

Nice job on INFOSEC, too. Love what you've done to safeguard all those important, sensitive, Classified thingies. It should only take a couple of decades to recover from the damage all you Georgetown educated, highly experienced folks have done.

And she has 26 years of experience gained thru her overseas assignments.

Including a stint in Saudi. Rather lucrative posting from I've heard. I had a close friend who was posted there for nearly 5 years back in the 90's. Funny how all them Ambassador and 'senior FS' types end up working for 6 figure salaries at 'think tanks' after they leave.

The State Department doesn't have a say in who its political master will be.

The guy who stole them was from DOD [US Army], which has a long history of losing classified material whether it was the Walkers or Pollard. Wikileaks got plenty of DOD classified material on Iraq and Afghanistan or did you miss that one? The Stare Department's record on protecting classified information is far better than DOD or the CIA.

I was stationed there for five years as a senior FSO. I never ended working for a six figure salary at a think tank and know very few who did. You like to generalize without really having any facts.
