American Ambassadors Called Home

This happened the beginning of Feb this year. Why was it done so quietly by our "leaders" and Why? Why has every American Ambassador been called home in Feb by Hillary Clinton, and Why was it not reported to the American people? This is obviously unpressidented, Never happened before in our History.

I agree, I do need to look into this more. There has been nothing reported here as of yet.

It was reported.

Officials say the meeting will include discussion of foreign policy priorities for 2011, The Associated Press reported, as well as an assessment of the fallout from the release of secret diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks. Clinton will meet individually with diplomats working in unstable countries.

I would suggest that this is a staff meeting, a regular occurrence within most organizations. I am surprised it does not happened more often.

While Jack could certainly be right, seems like an awfully expensive way to go about things. Which would seem to indicate that they don't feel their lines of communication aren't secure, which is pretty troubling of itself.

OH? Like the Gvt controlled media reported anything else? Bet 99.99% of American's do not even know about this.
But they do know everything else GVT controlled media wants them to hear.

The New York Times covered it. As did CNN, Washington Post, Belfast Telegraph and many more.

Fox does not seem to have covered it. That might explain it.

If the 99.99% of Americans do not know about it, they are being consciously ignorant.

Jack,
Cnn is on all the time around me, I never heard this like I heard the casey anthoney trial, or Weiner tweeting lewd photo's of himself.....etc..... I never even turn Fox on.
So your explanation is not holding water.

It's time to hold all of the house and senate, congress, and the Pres. Responsible for their secret plots,
War's we didn't ask to be in etc...
And if you expect me to believe a word those liars say, well I'm not.

Lets hold the American public accountable for the news stories to which they pay attention.

Well, perhaps the news was one whilst you were cooking in the kitchen, having a nap, doing the shopping, on the loo, or a variety of other legitimate reasons you might not be paying full attention to television at the time. That you did not see it does not a conspiracy make. That it wasn't as big news as someone killing a two year old or a politicians posting snapshots of his junk simply suggests the meetings are not as sensational & therefore titillating for the audience.

There are dozens of legislative decisions and government actions a day that don't get any coverage. This appears to have as much as one can justify without proof of anything underhanded. And no, the conspiracy theories of a poster on SailNet do not constitute as "proof". Just as my word alone is not.
