No doubt the service he rendered the Americans when they needed him will be forgotten by the state department when he tries to get that Visa...

That’s a good question. If diplomats are supposed to help us convey our national values and purpose, what do we need them for if we no longer have either?

I desperately hope that we don't fall down on fulfilling those promises for our Mideastern allies--the translators, fixers, and yes, HUMINT sources.
I couldn't agree more. Even from the perspective of pure self interest, you can't make it a habit of screwing over people who risked their lives for you. Whether they're foreign assets or our own veterans, you have to keep your promises. I think right now we're failing both and its a disgrace - but I hear the VA is getting better, at least.
