I spoke with a well-placed journalist last night whose sources describe the situation at the State Department in one word: “Chaos.”
The working assumption is that several American embassies may have been penetrated, or are vulnerable to attack, because so many of them rely on local residents for staff needs at the embassy, and as such may be in a position to breach security if they have been recruited by Al Qaida.

That’s a good point. Not that I’d be wishing harm to anyone who works in a diplomatic capacity at a U.S. embassy overseas, but I think it’s only fair that these U.S. State Dept. employees face the same risk of infiltration and treachery by local Muslims that our U.S. troops have been facing in Iraq and Afghanistan for years.
They are humans and Americans and they deserve protection. Liberal or not, they are be played as pawns just like you and me by the world elite who control Hillary and Obama. You and I are on their list to use or kill also.
