Regarding the detainment of Joel Mowbray by State Department thugs:
On Friday, after Mr. Mowbray cited the cable and said he had it with him, Mr. Boucher said:
“I do have to point out, sir, that you’ve written a lot of things and said a lot of things recently. You said that visas are decided by travel agents, and that’s not true, is it? You said that this is the only country that we do accept documents from third parties, and that’s not true, is it? You’ve said that performance of Foreign Service officers is measured on courtesy, and that’s not true, is it? So let’s be careful about the facts.”
Mr. Mowbray responded, “I am being careful, and no need to smear the work.”
I’d like to punch Boucher in his smug prep-school face.
