CNN: "Doing its job" or "unmitigated assholes"?

[TheOlderGuy]

CNN and the State Department seem to disagree on this, as do so many others.

What's your take--and why?

Would the Ambassador's worries expressed in his journal ever have been admitted by the administration?

Bam hates it when the Truth gets out.

Hope & Change is now Excuse and Blame!

Last thing Bam wants is to be shown to be a failure on the anniversary of 9-11 by virtue of his appeasement of the Muslim world just before the election.

Obama said it was just a bump in the road!

One of 2 things is happening: Hillary is a monumental moron, or Obama set her up to be ruined.

There's no need to choose.

What ze King said.

The emails were interesting. Philippe Reines comes off as shrill and not very well spoken for, um, a spokesman. Granted, he's probably a little stressed right now. Still, it's fun to get a peek behind the curtain. The real thing is even funnier than how Armando Iannucci dreams it.

It's her fault. She was sympathetic enough to Obama's policies to go to work implementing and supporting them internationally as his Secretary Of State. She's no different than he is.

What you say is true, of course. But one of them shit in their pants, and Hillary aint smiling.

I don't think it's any big secret that an Ambassador in a North African nation with a barely established government would be worried about AQ influence and security in general, I don't see any "news" there, or any reason that President Obama would hide it.

The question was more about whether the privacy of someone's personal journal should be violated in the way CNN did. I have no doubt that the U.S. governmen would use such private musings if it suited their goals, but they wouldn't be open and blatant about it, because they at least realize how crass that looks to the public. They would find a sneakier way to do it, like leaking it to a news organization that wouldn't hesitate to grab a headline or two.
