re: #69 Thanos

Anyone know if the people in the Embassies who failed big on this one came in under Bush, or if they are new?

If I had to venture a guess I’d say they were career diplomats. No telling what administration they joined under. It might not be the embassy’s failure. Did they pass on the information to the right people? Did they ignore it? Did they follow procedure? I think it’s too early to tell what went wrong.
