re: #9 reine.de.tout

That’s a rookie mistake, esp. for a State Dept spokesperson.

I don’t know much about Crowley - what’s his background, anybody know who would like to share so I don’t have to go look it up? Please?

Crowley ain’t a rookie. National Security Council spokesperson under Pres. Clinton, former Air Force Colonel, various other national security related gigs. He really should have known better.
