Now you are just being disingenuous. Goodness, what is this? A test? You know the process and so do I. I said what happened and they went beyond their remit. Additional detail would not be appropriate on an open forum. Or are you one of those DoS people that leak?
Truthfully, I have no idea what "process" you are talking about. You are making things up out of whole cloth hiding behind some phony need for secrecy.
You don't have to describe the subject of the process, but exactly how the FSO's exceeded their authority in whatever venue this took place. Who made the final decision? The Ambassador? DOD?
