The fact of the matter is we would be negligent if the State Department WASN'T doing what these cables clearly show them doing. To hell with "international law". The first responsibility of this administration, or any administration, is to relentlessly defend the interests of the US. If that means we have to "spy" on foreign diplomats, terrific. The pretense of Korn and other liberals that other countries aren't doing the same exact thing, is ridiculously stupid and dangerously naive.
Yes, David Kornhole is an idiot.
Well, if Hugo Chavez insists ...
For real. During Glasnost electronic surveillance emanating from the Soviet Embassy in Washington actually increased.
C'mon! Iris scans of diplomats? That's about as silly as it gets and a gigantic waste of tax money. Given Hillary's history, aren't you in the least skeptical of her reasons for spending taxpayers money in this way? Hillary should resign.

Well, there goes that 2012 presidential run.
Precisely why the OweBama regime allowed/facillitated the release of the wiki info.
PUMA
In the Democrat primaries for 2012, Obama’s only real threat is Hillary Clinton. If Obama’s backers can get her to resign in disgrace, then he is more likely to be unopposed and relatively unbloodied by the time the Republicans straighten themselves out for the general election.
The state department is corrupt - reporting AZ to the UN and speaking publicly in China about AZ human rights concerns.
Hate to say it - but I agree with the libs -
IMHO this whole wikileaks mess is very damaging to US interests - now, and in the future.
Hillary is right in the middle of this and needs to resign. Along with Eric Holder for doing nothing to try and stop it.
David Korn is helping Obama take Hillary our so she cannot challenge him in the primaries. She is politically dead. The left has now turned on their former darling. That’s the way it is with commies. Trotsky taken out by Lenin. Same thing, different names.
I think they see that Obama could have a fight in 2012 against Hillary, so they trying now to discredit her and get her out of the picture.
Obviously Korn is working for Obama here, or thinks he is helping him.
I don’t know, but I would guess that Hillary in her role as Secretary of State was given a pile of routine documents to sign, continuing the policies of her predecessors. Among them was presumably a document saying that diplomats are authorized to get any kind of information they can about foreign politicians.
Presumably this is to protect them for doing their jobs, which is to collect any potentially useful information they can about friends and enemies alike. Most of that information would not be used, but would be filed away in case it might prove useful down the line.
But while not absolutely saying so, the story is written as if Hillary originated the idea and pushed it deliberately. Unlikely, I would say. But calculated to embarrass her with the leaders of other countries and to offend her leftist base.
Hopefully BO’s wikileaks will backfire on him by causing the Clintons to go ahead and release all their files on his BC, foreign citizenships, stolen social security numbers, passports, school records, foreign campaign donations, voter fraud & intimidation, homosexuality etc.
I really think some of this State Dept leak was done to take Hilary out of the 2012 election.
Your love of The Beast is well established, so you don't have to belabor it.
But did it ever occur to you that if such spying was necessary, having the Secretary of State explicitly detail it, sign it, and mailbomb it under such low security clearance that a PFC could steal it and upload it to the Net, would establish that SoS as "ridiculously stupid and dangerously naive"?
Despite your naive strutting, international law still has to be respected in many ways - epsecially by the SoS. Hillary's signature on this order just reiterates the belligerent screwup she's always been, and always will be.
