It's a simple statement for why FR is so often on the forefront. Why are you getting so offended?It's also an incorrect statement whenever the Breaking News is linked to a valid url source, as this one was: Hareetz.
Televsion braodcasters check the sources and get confirmation. DUH.

True, as do a lot of bloggers.

You would think that that is one embassy that would be prepared for the worst. I'd be very surprised if there is not overwhelming surveillance and security, and perhaps escape tunnels.
To: Jedi Master Pikachu
we have embassies almost everywhere....the only exceptions I can name are cuba (mission only), iran (obvious), and DPRK (I think).
you lose nothing by having an embassy (unless marine guards let kgb agents in, etc), and by having one you can support espionage, diplomatic contacts, and in general keep talking to your adversary. Contrary to rhetoric here, you should always keep talking, even if you plan to bomb someone tomorrow..
To: Cincinna
how could (why should) they answer hundreds of calls, mainly from the media? I suspect the secure lines are another matter.

I'm amused by the scrolling information board at the one in Cuba.

That link doesn't say anything about the embassy being closed in '04. Of if it does, I missed it. :)

To: dfwgator
It is now being reported on the Jerusalem Post online
here.
To: FreedomCalls
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) Explosions and gunfire erupted on Tuesday in an area of the Syrian capital
where the United States and other countries have embassies, witnesses said.
Hmm So it's like a little international city type thing?
