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".

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.

Really, you should just keep your mouth shut. Every time I read one of your posts, you more completely confirm my suspicions of you.

Do yourself a favor, and google SIPRnet. After that, take this week's paycheck and buy yourself a clue, sport.
