#8 The OpenNet system is the unclassified network. All embassy employees use it- Cleared Americans and Locally Employed Staff. The system handles up to SBU material - not classified. The local employees have full access and the systems administrators are local employees. Whatever we had on that system was likely compromised a long time ago. Much of the system can be controlled remotely from WDC. Is it cool that it happened - no. A national security issue - also no. There is no such thing as a "Special intel-link 'Opendata." You don't know WTF you're talking about. People are reading waaaaaay too much into this. |

#7 Harf's hair is nice, conceals the width of her jowls. Some like their women a little jowly. It's the age we live in. Might explain Hillary's enduring popularity. |

#4 Not the printed info that is worrying. They left a special intel-link up because they weren't sure if they'd return, and it took them 3 freagin days to remote-delete the data successfully. Special intel-link 'Opendata' to all embassy related information, up for three days, because they weren't sure they would return and may need access to quickly. The Ambassador isn't even to blame, he got permission from Patrick Kennedy at State! |

#3 The Marines apparently had lots of weapons and ammo that they could have used. But nooooo. I do hope they had time and sense to destroy -not just shred - any printed information. You would think they learned something from Iran. |

#1 Let me know if State does something - anything - that is not FUBAR. That is a very short list. |
