A Call to US Ambassadors
The Progressive issues a challange to US Ambassadors in the light of actions taken by Craig Murray.
“Where are the U.S. ambassadors who are willing to risk their necks for opposing torture and war?
When I visited Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt in 2002, I found U.S. diplomats, including ambassadors, bending over backward to justify authoritarian practices in their host countries.
Some of this is understandable, since it is part of the job of U.S. diplomats to maintain good relations with friendly governments. But the eagerness of U.S. diplomats to perform this task was disconcerting.”
