Comments on: One More… http://www.theagitator.com/2010/12/01/one-more-4/ It rankles me when somebody tries to tell somebody what to do.

Putting aside the fact that there are a LOT of cables regarding both countries, it makes me wonder if the individuals lauding those regime’s attitude toward WL (one commenter highlighted a Russian official who noted the possibility of WL being made permanently unavailable or some such threat) would be happier if the US adopted the diplomatic tactics of those regimes.
Or as I’ve seen it put so many times: “love it or leave it”

Well lookie here, what goes around, comes around. Seems our State Department isn’t so pure after all.

Hubris, meet nemesis.

Pardon me while I enjoy some schadenfreude.
