Lord knows I dislike HRC as much as any of you but let’s consider this in context. She is reported to have been doing the same as Condi Rice and, if this is so, then I suggest that this was an anti-terrorist policy since it’s a time honored tradition to hide your intelligence officers under the guise of diplomatic immunity as members of a nation’s diplomatic corps. Learning about one’s opponents and their operatives at the local diplomatic mission is useful, especially if you can do it in their country before they send them to ours with the inherent danger of domestic violence being perpetrated against us by, or at the direction of, some of these “diplomats”.
I haven't seen where Condi ordered Diplomats to spy on the UN, I did see where she requested intelligence, which is SOP. Condi did it too seems to be the meme.
