Embassy security
Reader comment on item: Another Islamist Assault, Another Western Cringe
Submitted by Stas (Ukraine), Sep 17, 2012 at 00:50
How is it possible that U.S. embassy security is still so lax and ineffective after so many incidents of attacks? Any idiot would know to increase security even more on the anniversary of 9/11, it is elementary. Why do we get no answers, or honest ones at least, from the administration?
