Lessons in International Diplomacy

Let’s say you’re a world super power; a world super power that much of the world is very tired of dealing with at the moment. Let’s say that there was a little democratically elected governmental sect in a tiny little country on the other side of the world that you had a real problem with. They don’t like your friends, and fuck people who don’t like your friends. So let’s say that, as this world superpower, you decide to overthrow this little government sect. What would be the first thing you want to make sure doesn’t happen?

How about making sure one of the world’s biggest news sources doesn’t get documents detailing your plan?

Fucking idiots.

While I don’t doubt for a second that this is true, the last line of the article kind of irks me.

“No official US stamps or seals appear on the document.”

That’s something that’s gotta be clarified in an article early. Just because something works against the central point of your story doesn’t mean you chuck it at the end.

That’s like the Times throwing John McCain’s response to allegations that he was having an affair at the tail end of their 9,000 word opus about his poor decision making when it comes to lobbyists.
