#1 State Department officials shouted at the guards to leave her alone

Typical foggy bottom response to everything, unfortunately. Phear our strongly worded resolutions! Time for the guards to start carrying MP5s.....and using them?
What I really want to know is, with the incident with Bush and his guards, and now this, how long before a high ranking delegate is seized and/or shot by a hostile govenment when we are there on diplimatic missions?

#4 It will be very interesting to see how Mitchell reports on this. Will she begin to see the light that the Bush administration and America are not the root of all evil, and that perhaps real threats to her life and livelihood lie elsewhere? Enquiring minds and all that...

#5 My understanding is that Alan Greenspan, Andrea's hubby, is going after the brunts in Sudan. Greenspan has his ways of striking back at 'em.
