Brazil signals recognition of Honduran election (AP) –40 minutes ago RIO DE JANEIRO —A top Brazilian official has signaled that Latin America's largest nation may recognize the Honduran candidate who won last weekend's post-coup presidential election. Dilma Rousseff is chief of staff for Brazilian President Luiz !neck) Lula da Silva. Rousseff says the Central American country's Nov. 29 election should be considered separately from the June 28 coup that ousted ex-President Manuel Zelaya. Previously, the government had said it would not recognize the election unless Zelaya was returned to office and allowed to serve out his term, which ends Jan. 27. Rousseff told Brazilian television late Friday from Germany that the coup "is one thing" and "discussing the election" another. She says "this new process" — the election — "has to be considered."

BLOW A hundred and fifty years ago, Charles Dickens opened "A Tale of Two Cities" with the now-famous phrase: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. ..." Those words resonated with me recently while contemplating the impact of the Obama presidency on blacks in America. So far, it's been mixed. Blacks are living a tale of two Americas — one of the ascension of the first black president with the cultural capital that accrues; the other of a collapsing quality of life and amplified racial tensions, while supporting a president who is loath to even acknowledge their pain, let alone commiserate in it. Last year, blacks dared to dream anew, envisioning a future in which Obama's election would be the catalyst for an era of prosperity and more racial harmony. Now that the election's afterglow has nearly faded, the hysteria of hope is being ground against the hard stone of reality. Things have not gotten better. In many ways, they've gotten worse. The recession, for one, has dealt a particularly punishing and uneven hand to blacks. A May report from the Pew Research Center found that blacks were the most likely to get higher-priced subprime loans, leading to higher foreclosure rates. In fact, blacks have displaced Hispanics as the group with the lowest homeownership rates. According to the most recent jobs data, not only is the unemployment rate for blacks nearly twice that of whites, the gap in some important demographics has widened rapidly since Obama took office. The unemployment rate over that time for white college graduates under 24 years old grew by about 20 percent. For their black cohorts, the rate grew by about twice that much. And a report published last month by the Department of Agriculture found that in 2008, "food insecurity" for American households had risen to record levels, with black children being the most likely to experience that food insecurity. Things on the racial front are just as bad. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765959 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765959 Date: 08/31/2015 We are now inundated with examples of overt racism on a scale to which we are unaccustomed. Any protester with a racist poster can hijack a news cycle, while a racist image can live forever on the Internet. In fact, racially offensive images of the first couple are so prolific online that Google now runs an apologetic ad with the results of image searches of them. And it's not all words and images; it's actions as well. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's 2008 hate crimes data released last week, anti-black hate crimes rose 4 percent from 2007, while the combined hate crimes against all other racial categories declined 11 percent. If you look at the two-year trend, which would include Obarna's ascension as a candidate, anti-black hate crimes have risen 8 percent, while those against the other racial groups have fallen 19 percent. This has had a sobering effect on blacks. According to a Nov. 9 report from Gallup, last summer 23 percent of blacks thought that race relations would get a lot better with the election of Obama. Now less than half that percentage says that things have actually gotten a lot better. The racial animosity that Obama's election has stirred up may have contributed to a rallying effect among blacks. According to a Gallup report published on Nov. 24, Obama's approval rating among whites has dropped to 39 percent, but among blacks it remains above 90 percent. Also, this hasn't exactly been a good year for black men in the news. Plaxico Burress was locked up for accidentally shooting off a gun in a club. Henry Louis Gates Jr. was locked up for intentionally shooting off his mouth at his own home. And Michael Jackson died after being shot full of propofol. Chris Brown brutally beat Rihanna. Former Representative William Jefferson was convicted. And most recently, the "personal failings" of Tiger Woods portray him as an alley cat. Meanwhile, the most critically acclaimed black movie of the year, "Precious," features a black man who rapes and twice impregnates his own daughter. Rooting for the president feels like a nice counterbalance. However, the rallying creates a conundrum for blacks: how to air anxiety without further arming Obama's enemies. This dilemma has rendered blacks virtually voiceless on some pressing issues at a time when their voices would have presumably held greater sway. This means that Obama can get away with doing almost nothing to specifically address issues important to African-Americans and instead focus on the white voters he's losing in droves. This has not gone unnoticed. In the Nov. 9 Gallup poll, the number of blacks who felt that Obama would not go far enough in promoting efforts to aid the black community jumped 60 percent from last summer to now. The hard truth is that Obama needs white voters more than he needs black ones. According to my analysis, even if every black person in America had stayed home on Election Day, Obama would still be president. To a large degree, Obama was elected by white people, some of whom were more able to accept him because he consciously portrayed himself as racially ambiguous. In fact, commiserating with the blacks could prove politically problematic. In a study to be published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences this month, researchers asked subjects to rate images of the president to determine which ones best represented his "true essence." In some of the photos, his skin had been lightened. In others, it had been darkened. The result? The more people identified him with the "whiter" images, the more likely they were to have voted for him, and vice versa.

It's unclear if there will be a positive Obama Effect, but an Obama Backlash is increasingly apparent. Meanwhile, black people are also living a tale of two actions: grin and bear it.

Krugman, in case you haven't seen: January 1, 2010 Op-Ed Columnist Chinese New Year By PAUL KRUGMAN It's the season when pundits traditionally make predictions about the year ahead. Mine concerns international economics: I predict that 2010 will be the year of China. And not in a good way. Actually, the biggest problems with China involve climate change. But today I want to focus on currency policy. China has become a major financial and trade power. But it doesn't act like other big economies. Instead, it follows a mercantilist policy, keeping its trade surplus artificially high. And in today's depressed world, that policy is, to put it bluntly, predatory. Here's how it works: Unlike the dollar, the euro or the yen, whose values fluctuate freely, China's currency is pegged by official policy at about 6.8 yuan to the dollar. At this exchange rate, Chinese manufacturing has a large cost advantage over its rivals, leading to huge trade surpluses. Under normal circumstances, the inflow of dollars from those surpluses would push up the value of China's currency, unless it was offset by private investors heading the other way. And private investors are trying to get into China, not out of it. But China's government restricts capital inflows, even as it buys up dollars and parks them abroad, adding to a $2 trillion-plus hoard of foreign exchange reserves. This policy is good for China's export-oriented state-industrial complex, not so good for Chinese consumers. But what about the rest of us? In the past, China's accumulation of foreign reserves, many of which were invested in American bonds, was arguably doing us a favor by keeping interest rates low — although what we did with those low interest rates was mainly to inflate a housing bubble. But right now the world is awash in cheap money, looking for someplace to go. Short-term interest rates are close to zero; long-term interest rates are higher, but only because investors expect the zero-rate policy to end some day. China's bond purchases make little or no difference. Meanwhile, that trade surplus drains much-needed demand away from a depressed world economy. My back-of-theenvelope calculations suggest that for the next couple of years Chinese mercantilism may end up reducing U.S. employment by around 1.4 million jobs. The Chinese refuse to acknowledge the problem. Recently Wen Jiabao, the prime minister, dismissed foreign complaints: "On one hand, you are asking for the yuan to appreciate, and on the other hand, you are taking all kinds of protectionist measures." Indeed: other countries are taking (modest) protectionist measures precisely because China refuses to let its currency rise. And more such measures are entirely appropriate. Or are they? I usually hear two reasons for not confronting China over its policies. Neither holds water. First, there's the claim that we can't confront the Chinese because they would wreak havoc with the U.S. economy by dumping their hoard of dollars. This is all wrong, and not just because in so doing the Chinese would inflict large losses on themselves. The larger point is that the same forces that make Chinese mercantilism so damaging right now also mean that China has little or no financial leverage. Again, right now the world is awash in cheap money. So if China were to start selling dollars, there's no reason to think it would significantly raise U.S. interest rates. It would probably weaken the dollar against other currencies — but that would be good, not bad, for U.S. competitiveness and employment. So if the Chinese do dump dollars, we should send them a thank-you note.

If that's what you believe, however, you learned Econ 101 from the wrong people — because when unemployment is high and the government can't restore full employment, the usual rules don't apply. Let me quote from a classic paper by the late Paul Samuelson, who more or less created modern economics: "With employment less than full ... all the debunked mercantilistic arguments" — that is, claims that nations who subsidize their exports effectively steal jobs from other countries — "turn out to be valid." He then went on to argue that persistently misaligned exchange rates create "genuine problems for free-trade apologetics." The best answer to these problems is getting exchange rates back to where they ought to be. But that's exactly what China is refusing to let happen. The bottom line is that Chinese mercantilism is a growing problem, and the victims of that mercantilism have little to lose from a trade confrontation. So I'd urge China's government to reconsider its stubbornness. Otherwise, the very mild protectionism it's currently complaining about will be the start of something much bigger.

Sid hrc memo berlusconi 121509.docx CONFIDENTIAL December 15, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: The Berlusconi assault The physical attack on Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is a major political event in Italy and Europe. His assailant is a mentally disturbed man without a political agenda who has been in and out of psychiatric care since he was 18 years old. Nonetheless, the assault has significant repercussions. It has generated sympathy for Berlusconi as a victim—he has been obviously injured, lost two teeth and a pint of blood, and doctors will keep him in the hospital for perhaps a week for observation. The attack comes as Berlusconi was beginning to lose political footing, having lost his legal immunity. One court inquiry is turning up evidence of his links to the Mafia while another is examining his role in the bribery case of British lawyer David Mills. Berlusconi's government and party have used the attack as a way to turn the sudden sympathy for him to his advantage, claiming that his opponents have sown a climate of "hate." Through demogogic appeals they are attempting to discredit and rebuff the legal proceedings against him and undermine the investigative press. (Berlusconi is suing La Repu.bblica, the large independent newspaper in Rome that has been most aggressive in digging into his affairs of all kind.) It would seem proper and decent for the President to call Berlusconi to express his concern about his health and wish him a speedy recovery, if he hasn't done so already. There are many reasons for Oba.ma to do this, not least to condemn violence against a democratically elected head of state. It would be awkward for the U.S. President not to call a Western head of state of a NATO country who has been physically harmed. Berlusconi, for his part, would certainly make such a call public. It would therefore also be awkward if a call were used only as an element in his sympathy campaign against the court proceedings. If so, there is a larger message that should be communicated, perhaps by the President in his conversation, but most importantly through a statement from the State Department, also conveyed by the U.S. ambassador in Italy. The USG condemns any and all violence as an assault on democracy.

Spatuzza said his boss, Giuseppe Graviano, who was jailed over Mafia bomb attacks in Rome, Milan and Florence, had told him that the Mob had "got everything" with the help of Mr Berlusconi, adding that Graviano called Mr Berlusconi "the man from Channel 5", in reference to his TV network. The damaging claims came at the appeal hearing of Marcell° Dell'Utri, a key Berlusconi associate and senator, who is challenging his nine-year jail sentence for links with the Mafia. Spatuzza, in prison for several murders, testified: "Graviano told me the name of Berlusconi and said that thanks to him and the man from our home town [an apparent reference to Dell' Utri] we have the country in our • hands." Mr Berlusconi has denounced the claims of Spatuzza as "vile", and "unfounded and defamatory", denying ever having links with the Mafia. The Prime Minister's spokesman said the testimony yesterday was the Mafia's "completely logical" revenge against the Prime Minister for his "determined" fight against organised crime. Dell'Utri told the court that neither he nor Mr Berlusconi had Mafia connections. "It's in the interest of the Mafia to force the collapse of the Berlusconi government because this government has done the most in the fight against organised crime," he said. Mr Berlusconi, who recently lost his legal immunity to prosecution, was said to have been furious this week, after the parliamentary Speaker, Gianfranco Fini, the man who is supposed to be his closest ally, had said that the Spatuzza evidence was "an atomic bomb". Mr Fini was recorded by an unobserved microphone while talking privately at an official dinner. Rumours of the conservative Prime Minister's links with the Mob have persisted since investigators learnt that a Cosa Nostra hitman, Vittorio Mangano, worked as Mr Berlusconi's "stable-master" at the media mogul's villa in Arcore outside Milan in the 1970s. Much speculation has also centred on the origins of Mr Berlusconi's vast wealth. Last week, the Prime Minister's broadcast group, Mediaset, and his holding company, Fininvest, announced it intended to sue the left-wing newspaper La Repubblica over an article that said Mediaset was "20 per cent owned by the Mafia". La Stampa newspaper noted that the "dread combination of Mafia allegations and separation from his wife are now his principal torments". Mr Berlusconi's estranged wife, Veronica Lario, is said to be seeking a f3m-amonth divorce settlement, and a messy courtroom battle looms. Mr Berlusconi also faces a retrial on the charge that he bribed the British lawyer David Mills to lie in court.

But the combative, scandal-plagued Prime Minister of Italy would prefer to talk about his mornings instead. "Do you know how I've been forced to spend my Saturday mornings since I entered politics?" Berlusconi once declared to business leaders in Rome. "With my lawyers." Italy's self-proclaimed Defendant in Chief makes a. point of lamenting all those weekends spoiled by stacks of court dossiers. as further proof that he is the victim of politically motivated magistrates, whom he called during the same speech "the spreading cancer of our democracy." LSee Berlusconi's worst vaffes.). To combat such perceived persecution, Berlusconi has tested the bounds of decorous democratic conduct, including his allies' pushing a bill through Parliament last year that gave him and other top Italian officeholders immunity from prosecution. But since the Constitutional Court overturned that law in October, several criminal investigations into Berlusconi's business dealings have been reopened, with other new charges rumored to be looming. The potentially most damaging trial is set to resume Friday, Dec. 4, in Milan, with the 73-year-old billionaire being accused of paying British attorney David Mills $600,000 in 1997 to withhold incriminating evidence about his broadcasting empire Mediaset. Mills is appealing a conviction in the same case; both men have denied any wrongdoing. So, alas, Berlusconi is back to spending his downtime with a well-paid cadre of more than a dozen avvocati, who have been successful so far in keeping their biggest client clear of criminal convictions. Not that the lawyers have ever really gone away. Since the media baron first ran for office 15 years ago, his legal advisers have doubled as political consiglieri, key members of Parliament and even important Cabinet Ministers. Indeed, while some critics have spoken of Berlusconi's reign as a kind of sultanate of showgirls or government by gaffe, others have described it as a republic of attorneys. (See what Beriusconi's Obama "jok.es" sqy about Italy.) His longtime lawyer Cesare Previti served as Italian Defense Minister during Beriusconi's first term in 1994 before being convicted of corruption himself (and losing twice on appeal). During Berlusconi's second term (2001-06), Gaetano Pecorella, a former leftist, served as president of Parliament's Justice Commission, where he was instrumental in shepherding through new laws that helped shield Berlusconi from investigating magistrates. Giovanni Sartori, a Columbia University professor of constitutional law, says the role Berlusconi's personal lawyers have played in his legislative agenda is yet another gargantuan conflict of interest to add to those related to his ownership of Italy's main private television stations. But by now, Sartori says, Berlusconi's lawyers have perfected the art of exploiting Italy's painfully slow justice system: many cases conclude without a final verdict because the statute of limitations has been reached. "It is more a mania than a necessity," Sartori says of Berlusconi's near obsession in battling magistrates. "He feels persecuted, and fighting the judges is what makes him happy." Berlusconi's current point man is Nicol° Ghedini, a somber-faced, lanky 49-year-old criminal-defense attorney from the northern city of Padua, who has served in both the Italian Senate and the lower house of Parliament. Ghedini has continued to mount a grinding defense in the criminal cases, arguing in the Mills case that Berlusconi cannot be present in the Milan courtroom for the next several months because of time conflicts with his duties as Prime Minister. Ghedini has also spearheaded an increasingly aggressive legal strategy that has included several libel suits against opposition newspapers. He declared in September that if necessary, Berlusconi would testify in a suit against a journalist who referred to rumors that the Prime Minister is impotent. Last week, Berlusconi vowed to launch additional suits against newspapers that printed unsubstantiated reports that a close adviser of his was involved in a 1993 bombing campaign by the Sicilian Mafia. (Read "An Offended Berlusconi Goes on the Offensive.") Despite these many legal headaches, 'Berlusconi is embroiled in one other particularly thorny case that even he can't blame on overzealous magistrates.

The Milan daily Corriere della Sera reported last week that Lario has demanded 3.5 million euros ($5.2 million) in monthly payments, and Berlusconi countered with an offer of 300,000 euros ($450,000). No matter how this and the other cases shake out, there is little hope that Berlusconi can avoid a mountain of lawyers' fees and some grim Saturdays that he'd rather devote to other business and pleasures. • Find this article at: • hit): //www. t e cornitimeiwo rid/article/0,85 99.1945439.,:00. html UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766018 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766021 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 From: Sent: To: Subject: Koh, Harold Hongju Saturday, January 2, 2010 10:49 AM RE: Blackwater case ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE/ATTORNEY WORK-PRODUCT Ok.

On another note, so sad about Smith Bagley. He was a good person and was one of your biggest fans. Women and work We did it! Dec 30th 2009 From The Economist print edition The rich world's quiet revolution: women are gradually taking over the workplace Getty Images AT A time when the world is short of causes for celebration, here is a candidate: within the next few months women will cross the 50% threshold and become the majority of the American workforce. Women already make up the majority of university graduates in the OECD countries and the majority of professional workers in several rich countries, including the United States. Women run many of the world's great companies, from PepsiCo in America to Areva in France. Women's economic empowerment is arguably the biggest social change of our times. Just a generation ago, women were largely confined to repetitive, menial jobs. They were routinely subjected to casual sexism and were expected to abandon their careers when they married and had children. Today they are running some of the organisations that once treated them as second-class UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766022 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766022 Date: 08/31/2015 citizens. Millions of women have been given more control over their own lives. And millions of brains have been put to more productive use. Societies that try to resist this trend—most notably the Arab countries, but also Japan and some southern European countries—will pay a heavy price in the form of wasted talent and frustrated citizens. This revolution has been achieved with only a modicum of friction (see article). Men have, by and large, welcomed women's invasion of the workplace. Yet even the most positive changes can be incomplete or unsatisfactory. This particular advance comes with two stings. The first is that women are still underrepresented at the top of companies. Only 2% of the bosses of America's largest companies and 5% of their peers in Britain are women. They are also paid significantly less than men on average. The second is that juggling work and child-rearing is difficult. Middle-class couples routinely complain that they have too little time for their children. But the biggest losers are poor children— particularly in places like America and Britain that have combined high levels of female participation in the labour force with a reluctance to spend public money on child care. Dealing with the juggle These two problems are closely related. Many women feel they have to choose between their children and their careers. Women who prosper in high-pressure companies during their 20s drop out in dramatic numbers in their 30s and then find it almost impossible to regain their earlier momentum. Less-skilled women are trapped in poorly paid jobs with hand-to-mouth child-care arrangements. Motherhood, not sexism, is the issue: in America, childless women earn almost as much as men, but mothers earn significantly less. And those mothers' relative poverty also disadvantages their children. Demand for female brains is helping to alleviate some of these problems. Even if some of the new theories about warm-hearted women making inherently superior workers are bunk (see article), several trends favour the more educated sex, including the "war for talent" and the growing flexibility of the workplace. Law firms, consultancies and banks are rethinking their "up or out" promotion systems because they are losing so many able women. More than 90% of companies in Germany and Sweden allow flexible working. And new technology is making it easier to redesign work in all sorts of family-friendly ways. Women have certainly performed better over the past decade than men. In the European Union women have filled 6m of the 8m new jobs created since 2000. In America three out of four people thrown out of work since the "mancession" began have been male. And the shift towards women is likely to continue: by 2011 there will be 2.6m more female than male university students in America. The light hand of the state UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766022 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766022 Date: 08/31/2015 All this argues, mostly, for letting the market do the work. That has not stopped calls for hefty state intervention of the Scandinavian sort. Norway has used threats of quotas to dramatic effect. Some 40% of the legislators there are women. All the Scandinavian countries provide plenty of state-financed nurseries. They have the highest levels of female employment in the world and far fewer of the social problems that plague Britain and America. Surely, comes the argument, there is a way to speed up the revolution—and improve the tough lives of many working women and their children? If that means massive intervention, in the shape of affirmative-action programmes and across-the-board benefits for parents of all sorts, the answer is no. To begin with, promoting people on the basis of their sex is illiberal and unfair, and stigmatises its beneficiaries. And there are practical problems. Lengthy periods of paid maternity leave can put firms off hiring women, which helps explain why most Swedish women work in the public sector and Sweden has a lower proportion of women in management than America does. But there are plenty of cheaper, subtler ways in which governments can make life easier for women. Welfare states were designed when most women stayed at home. They need to change the way they operate. German schools, for instance, close at midday. American schools shut down for two months in the summer. These things can be changed without huge cost. Some popular American charter schools now offer longer school days and shorter summer holidays. And, without going to Scandinavian lengths, America could invest more in its children: it spends a lower share of its GDP on public child-care than almost any other rich country, and is the only rich country that refuses to provide mothers with paid maternity leave. Barack Obama needs to measure up to his campaign rhetoric about "real family values". Still, these nagging problems should not overshadow the dramatic progress that women have made in recent decades. During the second world war, when America's menfolk were off at the front, the government had to summon up the image of Rosie the Riveter, with her flexed muscle and "We Can Do It" slogan, to encourage women into the workforce. Today women are marching into the workplace in ever larger numbers and taking a sledgehammer to the remaining glass ceilings.

In pursuit of its narrow and even crude understanding of its interest, China will constantly abuse and break international rules, protocols and bodies. Its willful destruction of the Copenhagen summit on climate change reveals the pattern. Its mercantile currency policy in a beggar-thy-neighbour approach, environmental degradation, and disdain for human rights and the rule of law generally are the obvious reflections of its despotism. Through its rough and strange neo-imperialism, in Africa especially but also elsewhere, China is able to gain help, partly through economic intimidation, in its international forays to repel or strike down the responsibilities of internationalism. Internally, China is a prison of nations, an empire similar to imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, and may also be the most unequal industrial country in distribution of income. China's power is increasing, but the authoritarian regime is hardly the wave of the future as some awestruck worshippers of raw power and money (whether investment bankers or ex-Marxists) imagine. The system is inherently unstable, which accounts for its rigid currency policy (at root a fear of operating on other than a virtual slave-labour standard, of turning its poverty-stricken millions into consumers with real choice, and ultimately of letting go even a little bit). In the long-term the tyranny of the one-party state and its military rule is at odds with the new economic classes of entrepreneurs and professionals it has fostered. China's growing economic power is accompanied by expanding arrogance, demonstrated not least in the incivility and rudeness with which President Obama was treated on his trip there. China's regime lacks an ideal other than a communist gloss on Confucian uniformity, itself based incoherently on reckless economic development, for example in the areas of currency, environment and labour; it has no "soft power", not just because of the coarseness of its supposed diplomacy, but also because its cultural appeal does not travel. China forces its way through coercion of one sort or another. The next decade will see how flexible or inflexible its rulers are and how secure their system is. The brief effort at a rhetorical gesture by some in the Obama administration who floated the turgid phrase "strategic reassurance" was risible and did not last. For now, the west has no policy to deal with China as it is. The place to begin is on currency. The most powerful idea for the 21st century is the equality of women. It is the idea most feared by those - from the Vatican to the Taliban - arrayed against modernity, the still vibrant project of the Enlightenment. Someday the United States may even have a woman president. It took fifty years after granting the vote to African-Americans to pass a constitutional amendment giving it to women. Perhaps the distance between electing the first African-American president and the first female one will not be so great.

Original Message From: Sullivan, Jacob 1 To: H Sent: Thu Dec 10 22:06:12 2009 Subject: Guinea/Madagascar There are a number of different possibilities for how the decision on the Guinea/Madagascar credentials may go tomorrow. (It is Zambia and Tanzania bringing the challenge on behalf of the AU.) I was under the impression that we would not have to vote on the potential credentials challenges. We may have to. We may have to vote on a motion to *deny* them credentials and exclude them. For the moment, the guidance is to vote to credential all countries — including these two — as is customary, while conducting outreach with Tanzania, Zambia, and the AU to explain that we have our own imperatives but we support the fact that they are taking a principled stand. We may have to vote on a motion to *defer* decision, which would allow them to be seated and vote but would not formally grant credentials. For the moment, the guidance is to potentially support such a motion — this was the practice with respect to South Africa between 1983 and 1994. Everyone is in the same place on this. Ultimately, however, the whole thing may die of its own weight. This is probably the most likely outcome.

I am looking at the article and don't know where this stands in terms of what will really happen (welcome an update) but we should do some sort of meeting now with international gay groups to lay out what we have done. The process will focus not only our public and quiet diplomacy (calls to pres, etc) efforts but also it will give chance for feedback on more we should do. I am worried this will not turn out well. We need some outreach unless I am missing what is being done in dept. Can we do this in next several days? Cdm Uganda to Drop Death Penalty, Life in Jail for Gays (Updatel)Last Updated: December 9, 2009 10:44 EST By Fred Ojambo Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Uganda will drop the death penalty and life imprisonment for gays in a refined version of an antigay bill expected to be ready for presentation to Parliament in two weeks, James Nsaba Buturo, the minister of ethics and integrity, said.The draft bill, which is under consideration by a parliamentary committee, will drop the two punishments to attract the support of religious leaders who are opposed to these penalties, Buturo said today in a phone interview from the capital, Kampala.Ugandan lawmaker David Bahati presented a private member's bill on Oct. 14 which sought the death penalty and life imprisonment for gay people in the country. The Ugandan government supports the bill because homosexuality and lesbianism are "repugnant to the Ugandan culture," Buturo said. Still, it favors a more refined set of punishments, he said.ln addition to formulating punishments for the gay people, the bill will also promote counseling to help "attract errant people to acceptable sexual orientation," said Buturo.The proposed legislation has attracted criticism from gay rights activists, both locally and internationally, who argue that the law would promote discrimination and hatred toward the gay community.

I owe enormous thanks to so many of you for a true team victory. From Secretary Clinton on the seventh floor to my tireless secretary in EEB, Tucker Richmond Stewart, we pulled together to make a bit of aviation history and, much more important, to do something good for our consumers, communities, and national economy. I was able to contact the offices of about ten key Senators and Members of Congress before the signing, with a focus on those who, with a strong Delta presence at home, had expressed concerns about proceeding. I stressed that we'd negotiated provisions that offer Delta assurances of fairness and the potential to grow. I also emphasized that the decision to proceed was taken only after careful consideration at very senior levels of State, DOT, and White House. Thanks, again, to all for your support. John Byerly With help I'll make more calls next week and will arrange briefings for all who are interested.

Both Jean and Lorraine are very excited about the opportunity to partner on this new area for the Secretary and provided me with some very valuable insight and discussion on how we can partner and collaborate on programming and initiatives together. I also included the information from ECA —that we discussed in the document. The INR meeting was cancelled today and will be scheduled for early next week. As I move around the Department and talk with other officials in the coming week, I believe we will be able to build out a more robust Work Plan and garner some great collaborations on this effort. Additionally, in a recent conversation that I had with Governor O'Malley from Maryland, I shared with him that the Secretary was launching a new effort that would assist state and local leaders with respect to their global affairs portfolios. The Governor was extremely excited and remarked that he has some great idea for the Secretary about how the Department can be a major value-add to local governments. He told me that he wants to be very engaged in what we do in the Department in this area. I will be scheduling a time to meet with him and his economic team once my position has been announced. He wanted me to let her know that he had been thinking about her and wanted to reach out and did not know how and then I walked in and we began to have this discussion and he said — what a way to start his year for 2010 — something coming to reality that he had been thinking about. Also, Maura Pally in ECA forwarded me a meeting that I took with the Deputy Director of the National Lieutenant Governor's Association. They were in town working on their upcoming Washington meeting. They too are very excited about what we are planning and want to work very closely with us in the coming months as we launch this effort. Lt. Governor Bill Bolling in VA is the current Chair.

Introduction The next six months will be a critical time for establishing the Department's leadership in bridging relationships for U.S. intergovernmental officials and their foreign counterparts, defining the mission and role of the Office of the Special Representative for Global Intergovernmental Affairs ("S/SRGIA"), and outlining an agenda that serves the needs of the Department and these officials. Our approach will be strategic and integrated, working in collaboration with Department bureaus and USAID offices to strengthen and deliver on the Secretary's and Administration's priorities. II. Key Objectives The Special Representative for Global Intergovernmental Affairs will serve the global needs of the U.S. intergovernmental officials and the entities they represent. The S/SRGIA will also connect U.S. state and local officials with intergovernmental officials around the world, promote local capacity building investments and programs to enhance country-led processes, and facilitate the needs and goals of intergovernmental officials here and abroad consistent with Department priorities. III. Next Steps This work plan describes activities that the S/SRGIA plans to initiate, grow and implement in the next six months. To place the Work Plan in context, we describe below S/SRGIA' s work-planning process. A. Establish S/SRGIA Mission and Role in the Department. Currently, no one and no office in the State Department has accountability to serve the needs of intergovernmental officials, (e.g., Governors, Mayors, local elected leaders, the entities that represent them) with respect to their global affairs portfolios. State and local officials' concerns are typically routed on an individual basis through bureaus with the results reflecting , the priority of the person in the bureau's estimation or the nature of the request. Priority activities will be as follows: 1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 Sensitive But Unclassified • • Confirm the Secretary's support to focus on priority issues and countries; Join Department's meetings and conversations with visiting foreign state and local representatives and dignitaries to establish S/SRGIA's role; • Strengthen support on global intergovernmental affairs issues internally in the State Department, by explaining the value of these stakeholders; • Track deployment of resources assisting intergovernmental officials and leverage the State Department's collective U.S. and global intergovernmental relationships; • Follow and interpret international issues (e.g., food security, global health, climate change, trade and economic development, energy) of importance to state governments; • Promote dialogue between the Department (e.g., USAID, EEB, ECA, Public Private Partnerships, Global Women's Issues, Consular Affairs, MCC and targeted Regional Bureaus) and external constituents (e.g., Governors, Mayors, local elected officials, and the entities that they represent) for more effective partnerships and relationships; and • Collaborate with the Public Diplomacy and INR to create a survey of foreign intergovernmental affairs officials to determine their needs and engage U.S. intergovernmental officials to learn how the Department should help to further their global goals. B. Conduct Stakeholder Outreach: Obtain first-hand understanding of the needs of U.S. intergovernmental officials. State economies are increasingly globalized, and more and more U.S. companies are competing in international markets and against firms worldwide. As the principal stewards of their states' economic success, Governors recognize that the global marketplace presents both challenges and opportunities and that states must address both to ensure their continued competitiveness. Thus, S/SRGIA will develop its global intergovernmental affairs outreach activities in partnership with its participating US and other intergovernmental and international organizations. U.S. national organizations who serve governmental authorities include but are not limited to the following: • • • • • • • • National Governors Association; National Lt. Governors Association; U.S. Conference of Mayors; National League of Cities; National Association of Counties/Large Urban County Caucus; National Association of States Attorney Generals; National State Legislatures; and Councils of State Governments. Outreach is essential to many aspects of the Department's activities. S/SRGIA's outreach objective is to promote and increase the general awareness of the benefits of the State Department efforts in global intergovernmental affairs, especially among decision makers and policy makers, educational entities, non-governmental organizations, public-interest groups and public agencies. S/SRGIA will provide international outreach services to state and local elected officials in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and all other inhabited U.S. territories. Specific objectives are to: 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 Sensitive But Unclassified • • • • • • • • • Build state by state profiles, thus creating a set of priorities and identifying opportunities for collaboration with state and local officials on their global projects and Department priorities; Establish our target list of public officials to assist and nurture relationships with principals and the organizations that represent them and their global needs; Create dialogue with the Governors and Mayors in preparation for the NGA and Mayors Washington conferences in the fall; Travel to conferences and meetings within the United States and countries abroad required to implement the Department's global intergovernmental affairs agenda; Develop a network of leaders, to collaborate and create partnerships; Coordinate meetings between Department of State experts and state and local officials; Support targeted elected officials trade missions and other official trips abroad; Develop a strategy for deliverables such as multilateral pacts and Memorandum of Understandings on key State Department priorities that we will sign with responsible parties; and Collaboration with EEB, to partner with them to engage state and local government leaders in the bureaus enhanced commercial diplomacy efforts (e.g. the Administration's National Export Initiative and EEB/Consular Affairs Business Visa Facilitation initiative, etc.). C. Conduct Stakeholder Outreach: Obtain first-hand understanding of the needs of middle and senior foreign intergovernmental affairs officials. Currently, ECA conducts a significant number of exchanges with foreign and domestic government officials. None of ECA's programs target regions with the objective of enhancing another country's government systems because the bureau's authorities do not permit any type of training since everything must be done under the auspices of enhancing mutual understanding. The most visible ECA program is the International Visitor Leadership Program which in FY09 brought in 1,390 foreign government officials at the state, city and national levels to gain knowledge around the US political system and culture. To date, the bureau estimates the same number of government visitors in FY10. Thus, S/SRGIA will develop its global intergovernmental affairs outreach activities in partnership with international organizations. International organizations who serve local governmental authorities include but are not limited to the following: • • • • • • • United Cities and Local Governments; Metropolis; The World Urban Forum; UN-HABITAT; Latin American and Caribbean Ministers of Housing and Urbanization; UN Advisory Committee of Local Authorities; The World Mayors Council on Climate Change; 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 Sensitive But Unclassified • • • Sister Cities International; Local Governments for Sustainability; and Municipal Development Partnerships which targets governments in Africa. Priority activities will be as follows: • S/SRGIA will collaborate with Public Diplomacy to conduct stakeholder outreach with strategic countries — e.g. Af, Pak, Iraq — and key emerging powers (Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Nigeria) and developing countries (Rwanda, Ethiopia, Kenya, etc.) to obtain first-hand understanding of the needs of middle and senior foreign intergovernmental affairs officials; • Collaborate with [NR to assist us in gaining a better understanding of what foreign intergovernmental affairs officials want to engage with their US counterparts ranging from engagement on a host of common policy concerns, opportunities, programs and connections. D. Provide Leadership for Department Intergovernmental Capacity Building. One of our largest challenges in most developing countries is the lack of capacity in the government below the President and Prime Minister level. As the Department seeks to implement development programs or conduct diplomacy, there is often limited local counterpart capacity to do so with or to empower. S/SRGIA will work with USAID and State bureaus and offices to provide connections and leadership development to build the capacity of intergovernmental officials in countries around the world. Currently, millions of dollars of USAID and ECA grants that support capacity building are typically carried out by contractors and have results that are not transparent in their reporting or impact. S/SRGIA will partner with existing offices to provide leadership for the investment in this space, accountability for the outcomes and programming, and foster relationships between intergovernmental officials here in the US with foreign partners to mentor and model what is needed. S/SRGIA capacity building strategies will primarily be based on best practices derived from studying successful and less-successful approaches. Within the next six months, S/SRGIA will work in partnership with Department and USAID bureaus and resources. Priority activities will be as follows: • • • Identify State Department investments, canvass additional State Department dedicated resources other than grant-making and assess the strength of the current environment needed to advance the S/SRGIA's Secretary capacity building agenda for state and local leaders; participate in QDDR process regarding this agenda; Develop an agenda for a high-level retreat on the formulation of a National Capacity Development Strategy to present achievements to date, lessons learned and proposals for institutional capacity development going forward; Work with the Chiefs of Missions and other diplomats in countries where capacity building is critical to the success of our diplomacy and development efforts; 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 Sensitive But Unclassified • • • • • IV. • • V. Amplify and sustain high quality and results driven support to institutional capacity development by assisting in advocating for increased funding and building public-private partnerships; Prioritize discrete initiatives to "fast track", based on importance, regional priorities (e.g., Asia, Africa and Latin America), assessment of readiness, impact and feasibility and translate priorities into actionable interventions; Develop a network of experts involved in existing capacity-building initiatives related to global intergovernmental affairs and build partnerships; Define a coordinated approach and institutional responsibilities for supporting the GIA capacity building initiative; and Identify opportunities for further collaboration with state and local officials on their projects and Department priorities. Administrative Activities Standardize requests for assistance with projects related to policy, business, trade, consular affairs, etc.; and Link the Department website to states websites and trade and development office websites. Budget and Staffing S/SRGIA will require a budget and staffing to fulfill its mission. VI. Assessment of Progress The short term goal will be to engage U.S. intergovernmental officials about their global concerns. The S/SRGIA office will become a significant resource for high-level State Department engagement for U.S. state and local elected officials. The benefits of this new office will be immediate and grow over time as our engagement deepens. Assisting US states and local governments to expand their exports, promote locations for foreign investment and for participation in State Department priorities are some of the short term benefits we hope to achieve with respect to U.S. intergovernmental officials. With respect to the global intergovernmental officials, in the short term, we expect to work with our Regional Bureaus and Offices, (e.g., USAID, ECA, EEB, etc.) to assess the current state of play and assist us with how we better target and leverage our assistance to this constituency. In the longer term, institutionally, we need to sustain relationships with our embassies and missions overseas, so that they can assist state and local officials and their constituencies to expand their global business base. As related to our national capacity building strategy, in the long term, we seek to empower and educate and build relationships with state and local officials abroad. We also seek accountability for the outcomes of the programming and will provide leadership for future investments. Going forward, we will tailor these investments to address regional State Department priorities. 5 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766082 Date: 08/31/2015 Sensitive But Unclassified In addition, since there is a lack of USG harmonization of all of the relevant USG programs, having S/SRGIA be the designated coordinator will allow DOS to take the lead in synchronizing government wide programs that engage foreign government officials. This will be another long term goal for the office. VII. Potential Events A. Potential Events and Activities for S 1. Private Dinner or Luncheon with the Governors and Urban Mayors; 2.

Really worth reading. This Week in Copenhagen December 12, 2009 Editorial We didn't expect much from the first week of the global warming conference in Copenhagen. Countries need to do a little posturing before getting down to the hard work, which is supposed to start on Monday. But the belligerent talk from China seemed to go well beyond the usual positioning. The best hope is that the talks will produce an interim understanding under which industrialized countries would commit to fairly precise targets for reduced emissions, and others, like China, to broader but measurable goals. The industrial countries would be expected to help poorer countries shift to less-polluting forms of energy. That would set the stage for a legally binding deal in 2010. But there is no chance of even an interim agreement without the enthusiastic participation of China, the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases. China's absence would give other developing countries — and the United States Senate — an excuse to do less than needed. Beijing's recent pledge to slow the growth in emissions seemed like a positive shift in attitude. Then on Tuesday, in a surprising show of defensiveness, China's top negotiator, Su Wei, said the greatest burden rested with the industrialized countries and jumped on the United States, Japan and the European Union for not being aggressive enough. Another Chinese official urged Washington to do "some deep soul-searching" and improve its proposal. Todd Stern, the chief American negotiator, responded correctly: With emissions in many industrialized countries peaking or declining, just about all of the growth in greenhouse gases is expected to come from the developing world between now and 2030, half from China. Rich nations must still reduce emissions sharply, Mr. Stern said, but "there is no way to solve this problem by giving the major developing countries a pass." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766084 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766084 Date: 08/31/2015 China has also been demanding that rich nations contribute hundreds of millions of dollars a year to help poor countries address the threat of climate change. Again Mr. Stern was blunt. Washington is prepared to help those who need it, but given China's huge reserves and revved-up economy, he said he could not envision "public funds, certainly not from the United States, going to China." The most positive development has been a pledge by the European Union to contribute $10.5 billion over the next three years to help poorer countries deal with climate change. The United States has said that it will make a contribution but has not said how big it will be. Transparency is another difficult issue that must be resolved, at least in principle, this week. There is no point in setting targets, or threatening penalties for noncompliance, unless countries are required to report emissions accurately. Transparency has never been one of Beijing's virtues, and emerging countries generally need aid to create sophisticated monitoring systems. Copenhagen's broadest challenge is finding an equitable way to distribute the burden of confronting climate change. Despite some differences, the industrialized nations have pretty much agreed to trim their emissions by 15 percent to 20 percent from 2005 levels in the next 10 years, and by 80 percent by midcentury. And all seem to be willing to make expensive investments to get there. President Obama will need help from Congress, no sure thing. A host of developing countries — including India, Brazil, Indonesia — have put broad goals on the table, though in some cases they seem more aspirational than real. But the bottom line is that the hope for a meaningful deal is vanishingly small if China doesn't sign on.

Washington is prepared to help those who need it, but given China's huge reserves and revved-up economy, he said he could not envision "public funds, certainly not from the United States, going to China." The most positive development has been a pledge by the European Union to contribute $10.5 billion over the next three years to help poorer countries deal with climate change. The United States has said that it will make a contribution but has not said how big it will be. Transparency is another difficult issue that must be resolved, at least in principle, this week. There is no point in setting targets, or threatening penalties for noncompliance, unless countries are required to report emissions accurately. Transparency has never been one of Beijing's virtues, and emerging countries generally need aid to create sophisticated monitoring systems. Copenhagen's broadest challenge is finding an equitable way to distribute the burden of confronting climate change. Despite some differences, the industrialized nations have pretty much agreed to trim their emissions by 15 percent to 20 percent from 2005 levels in the next 10 years, and by 80 percent by midcentury. And all seem to be willing to make expensive investments to get there. President Obama will need help from Congress, no sure thing. A host of developing countries — including India, Brazil, Indonesia — have put broad goals on the table, though in some cases they seem more aspirational than real. But the bottom line is that the hope for a meaningful deal is vanishingly small if China doesn't sign on.

This Week in Copenhagen December 12, 2009 Editorial We didn't expect much from the first week of the global warming conference in Copenhagen. Countries need to do a little posturing before getting down to the hard work, which is supposed to start on Monday. But the belligerent talk from China seemed to go well beyond the usual positioning. The best hope is that the talks will produce an interim understanding under which industrialized countries would commit to fairly precise targets for reduced emissions, and others, like China, to broader but measurable goals. The industrial countries would be expected to help poorer countries shift to less-polluting forms of energy. That would set the stage for a legally binding deal in 2010. But there is no chance of even an interim agreement without the enthusiastic participation of China, the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases. China's absence would give other developing countries — and the United States Senate — an excuse to do less than needed. Beijing's recent pledge to slow the growth in emissions seemed like a positive shift in attitude. Then on Tuesday, in a surprising show of defensiveness, China's top negotiator, Su Wei, said the greatest burden rested with the industrialized countries and jumped on the United States, Japan and the European Union for not being aggressive enough. Another Chinese official urged Washington to do "some deep soul-searching" and improve its proposal. Todd Stern, the chief American negotiator, responded correctly: With emissions in many industrialized countries peaking or declining, just about all of the growth in greenhouse gases is expected to come from the developing world between now and 2030, half from China. Rich nations must still reduce emissions sharply, Mr. Stern said, but "there is no way to solve this problem by giving the major developing countries a pass." China has also been demanding that rich nations contribute hundreds of millions of dollars a year to help poor countries address the threat of climate change. Again Mr. Stern was blunt.

Essentially: O • O Two months have passed since your trip to Belfast and you're checking in; You're concerned about the news reports; You understand that there are substantive differences and frayed nerves, but you want to encourage all parties to take positive actions and avoid unhelpful ones; • You remain prepared to assist in any way — you are personally invested in seeing them work through to the completion of this process; • Declan is hard at work, but his efforts are hampered by the lack of progress and the public conflict You would be mostly in listening mode and wouldn't engage substantively on the issues that are dividing them — parades (Sinn Fein doesn't want to concede anything on parades without a date for devolution) and a date (DUP doesn't want to set a date until they get progress on parades).

Kamala North's leaders clash on devolution The North's leaders Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness clashed in public today as the split at the heart of the power-sharing government deepened. The clash came as Taoiseach Brian Cowen lead a team of Government ministers in a session of cross-Border talks with members of the Northern Ireland administration. As the pair appeared before the cameras at a press conference their private disagreement over the devolution of policing and justice powers to the Stormont Assembly deepened when Mr McGuinness accused his counterpart of raising roadblocks to a deal. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766177 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766177 Date: 08/31/2015 As the men stood side-by-side in front of the media, a visibly angry Mr Robinson effectively reprimanded his opposite number accusing him of bringing private details into the public domain. The temperature rose as Mr McGuinness continually shook his head in disagreement as Mr Robinson spoke. The Sinn Fein deputy leader hit out at Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) calls for a scrapping of the Parades Commission, which rules on Orange Order parades, and said it could not be a pre-condition to a deal on the transfer of policing and justice powers. Mr McGuinness: "I move forward against the backdrop of the agreements that I made with Peter Robinson 13 months ago where we agreed an over-30 step approach to the transfer of powers on policing and justice. "I have to say at no stage in that process was the issue of issues being used as pre-conditions for the transfer of power for policing and justice mentioned." In a reference to a DUP letter to the Prime Minister demanding 'confidence building' measures for unionists before a deal, Mr McGuinness added: "At no stage were people contemplating sending, on solo runs, letters to Prime Ministers which effectively I had not seen, was not made aware of and was completely surprised by." Mr Robinson hit back by claiming republicans had already backed reform of parades, but had now opted to delay the measures as a tactic. The First Minister, who glanced at his adviser and became visibly angry as Mr McGuinness spoke, added: "I regret the tone of the latter remarks. "I don't think that it is helpful for us to be going into the finer details of these matters, but nobody is in any doubt that the issue of parades was moving forward and was held back." The exchanges were seen as a public demonstration of the two leaders' long-running private dispute. Mr McGuinness is already on record as having said that he has not been able to build an adequate relationship with Mr Robinson, despite having enjoyed a good working relationship with his predecessor as DUP leader, Ian Paisley. The North-South Ministerial Council, first formed under the Belfast Agreement of 1998 is marking its tenth anniversary, but proceedings today were overshadowed by fears for the future of the Stormont Assembly. Today's meeting in Limavady, Co Deny, brought together ministers from North and South, who announced progress on a series of cross-Border projects.

Secretary Clinton's remarks setting forth the U.S. Government's human rights agenda appear to reflect an enhanced emphasis by the Obama Administration on the importance of political democracy for the achievement to basic human rights and broader development goals, as well. She gave special attention to the importance of freedom of expression. The remarks build upon President Obama's Nobel acceptance speech on December 10, in which he said "peace is unstable where citizens are denied the right to speak freely or worship as they please; choose their own leaders or assemble without fear." "The emphasis on universal human rights in Secretary Clinton's speech sends an important message of her personal commitment at a time when the world is witnessing continuing global declines in fundamental rights," said Jennifer Windsor, Executive Director of Freedom House. "We look forward to seeing this passion integrated into U.S. policy around the globe." The speech stressed the necessity for a human rights policy that is fused with efforts to advance both development and democracy.

"To make a real and long term difference in people's lives we have to tackle all three simultaneously." Clinton went on to refute the idea that national security policy need take priority over human rights issues and spoke of a "principled pragmatism" where the United States would address concerning human rights issues with countries like China or Russia while continuing to engage with them on strategic interests. "Freedom doesn't come in half measures," continued Clinton. "and partial remedies cannot redress the whole problem." To watch Secretary Clinton's speech, click here.

Calling her speech "historic," Cox said Clinton's commitment to a broad spectrum of human rights offers new hope in solving the desperation caused by poverty. "By advancing the idea that human rights, development and participatory and accountable governance, are goals that mutually reinforce one another, Secretary Clinton has charted a course of leadership recognizing the indivisibility of human rights that has been missing in our government's mission abroad and at home," said Cox. "Her statement today is an essential foundation for relieving the suffering of billions in poverty, especially now when millions upon millions more people worldwide are experiencing economic hardship." "We welcome Secretary Clinton's affirmation that the "basics" of well being -- food, shelter, health and education —are not only human rights in and of themselves, but are also essential for the exercise of other human rights. Only by addressing both freedom from want and freedom from fear will it be possible to achieve genuine development for all." Cox, who attended Secretary Clinton's speech on the administration's 21st century human rights agenda at Georgetown University, said he was especially grateful to hear Secretary Clinton outline her determination to make a real and long-term difference by tackling human rights and development as mutually reinforcing goals and affirm that the "United States must lead by example in this area." Cox also welcomed Secretary Clinton's commitment to stand with human rights defenders worldwide by shining a spotlight on their work and the legitimacy of their efforts. In her speech Secretary Clinton highlighted the work of Women of Zimbabwe Arise, whose founders were recently honored at the White House, and noted the State Department had sent high-level diplomatic missions to meet with Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar. It is important that the administration continue to champion human rights defenders around the world, especially those in powerful countries like China and Russia.

"Secretary Clinton rightly identifies accountability as the centerpiece of any successful human rights agenda for the United States. But if the administration means what it says, then it needs to appoint a bipartisan commission to investigate the abuses connected to counterterrorism policies since September 11, 2001, follow through on the executive orders it already has committed to, close the prison at Guantanamo and abide by international legal commitments to end torture." "The administration can't insist that other countries adhere to human rights protections while continuing to detain people outside the rule of law at home," Cox continued. "Discussion of human rights can't be an empty rebranding exercise. The administration should promptly bring charges against the Guantanamo detainees who can be legitimately charged with a crime, and release the rest without further delay." To date, 116 individuals have already been cleared for release but remain unjustly detained in Guantanamo. Noting that in his Nobel Prize speech in Oslo, President Obama stated that "no nation can insist that others follow the rules of the road if we are not willing to follow those rules ourselves," Cox Stated, "Amnesty International commends the administration for its commitment to engage closely on human rights. This is welcome change, but to make measurable progress we must prioritize accountability for torture, implementation of human rights treaties, a strong Executive Order on Human Rights, and the establishment of a national human rights commission." Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning grassroots activist organization with more than 2.2 million supporters, activists and volunteers in more than 150 countries campaigning for human rights worldwide.

"With so many heads of state and government having arrived it's appropriate that the Prime Minister of Denmark presides," Hedegaard told the 193nation meeting. "However, the Prime Minister has appointed me as his special representative and I will thus continue to negotiate the...outcome with my colleagues," she said. She said the move was procedural. Separately, Hedegaard has been criticized by African nations for favoring rich nations in the negotiations.

In the poll of 800 registered voters who are self-identified "news watchers," Clinton had a 75 percent approval rating and a 21 percent disapproval rating overall. Obama, in contrast, had a 51 percent approval and a 45 percent disapproval rating. The Secretary of State has conducted several well-received foreign trips in recent months and has not been as closely identified with the more contentious elements of the Administration's agenda, including the health care fight, the federal deficit and the Wall Street bailouts. And she has not been subjected to nearly the same media and partisan scrutiny as the president. Obama, meanwhile, has been on national television on a daily basis tackling a wide range of difficult issues. The poll was conducted by the nonpartisan Clarus Research Group from December 7th to the 12th, and it asked for opinions of the top Cabinet secretaries and White House officials. Its finding on Obama and Clinton mirrors that of earlier polls — in October, for example, a Gallup poll found that Clinton had become more popular than the president. Clarus president Ron Faucheux said one reason for Clinton's high poll numbers is her high approval among Republicans — numbers he said position her well to run for president again in the future, if she chooses. Clinton had 96 percent approval among Democrats, a healthy 57 percent approval among Republicans, and 65 percent approval among Independents. Obama was nearly as popular among Democrats — 93 percent — but his numbers among Republicans and Independents fell off dramatically, at 19 percent and 33 percent respectively. Clinton's Republican numbers are striking, given how intensely disliked she has been in the past among GOP voters. In fact, part of Obama's appeal to Democratic primary voters in 2008 was that he was more likely to be able to bridge the partisan divide than Clinton, who was by then a well-known figure dating to her time as first lady in the 1990s. "Republicans may see her as being more hawkish than other Democrats on foreign policy issues," said Faucheux. "It may be a way for them to bolster that position within the administration." Asked about any future Clinton presidential bid, he said, "She's in good shape now." The next highest-rated cabinet secretary in the survey was Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who notched a 69 percent overall approval rate with a 78 percent approval among Democrats and 63 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766222 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766222 Date: 08/31/2015 percent among both Republicans and independents. "Both Clinton and Gates did well across the partisan board," said Faucheux. "Everybody else did well among Democrats but fell off among Republicans." Another trend spotted by the pollsters: Approval ratings inside the Beltway were higher than in the rest of the country. "These results show that the 'Beltway echo chamber' does not reflect the rest of the country, even among news watchers," said Faucheux. Among White House staffers and advisors, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs — who is often seen on television — had the highest overall rating at 50 percent. Economic advisor Larry Summers had the lowest approval, at 25 percent. Summers and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner — who are both closely associated with the economy — both posted higher disapproval numbers than approval. Summers' disapproval rating was 41 percent. Geithner's disapproval rating was 45 percent, one point higher than his approval rating. The poll also found that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who is often viewed as having sharp partisan elbows, scored much higher among Democrats, at 72 percent, than Republicans, at 13 percent. Among other major administration officials, Vice President Joe Biden had a 50 percent approval and 41 percent disapproval rating; Attorney General Eric Holder and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius both posted 41 percent approval and 35 percent disapproval; Presidential Adviser David Axelrod scored 38 percent approval and 36 percent disapproval; and National Security Adviser James Jones had a 30 percent approval and 23 percent disapproval rating.

Dozens of heads of state are descending on the Danish capital to address the December 7-18 conference, and had hoped to sign on Friday a new pact to tackle global warming. The official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the Chinese had instead suggested issuing "a short political declaration of some sort," but it was not clear what that would say. The official said negotiations were continuing to try to reach a breakthrough that would still allow an operational agreement to be signed. The official said the sticking point for China appeared to be a process issue. U.S. President Barack Obama has called for an "operational accord" -- essentially a political agreement with teeth that can get countries working to cut or curb their greenhouse gas emissions while a more formal and binding treaty is hammered out in 2010. Some ministers warned that slow, often stalled talks during the summit meant it was staring at failure. "We may not get there on the substance, it is quite possible we'll fail on the substance, but at least let's give it a try," said Britain's energy and climate minister Ed Miliband. "At the moment the problem is we're not giving it a try." Developed and developing nations are at odds over who should cut emissions, how deep the cuts should be, and how much funding should be provided to poor countries to help them shift to greener growth and adapt to a warmer world. While the overall picture is bleak, there has been some progress in areas critical to reaching a deal. Africa dramatically scaled back its expectations for climate aid from rich nations, and Japan pledged about $11 billion (6.8 billion pound) in public funds to 2012 to help poor countries adapt to a warmer world and cut their emissions. Talks on a U.N.-backed system to pay poorer nations to curb deforestation have advanced, and the United States pledged $1 billion in short-term funds to conserve tropical forests.

On Tuesday, China's climate change ambassador warned developed countries against using climate change as an excuse to set up trade barriers. Yu Qingtai said rich nations should not think that slapping carbon tariffs on imports from countries with different emissions control regimes would substitute for reaching a global deal to tackle warming.

I think their points dovetail with one another. Posner argues quite correctly that those who I described as giving up their individual freedom for the authoritarian structure of the right believe they are gaining new life in the Kingdom of God, along with a sense of community and belonging. She illustrates this trend in her excellent book on the rising trend of prosperity gospel theology in evangelical churches, Gpd's Clarkson adds that the salvation narrative the movement offers to trauma-wracked individuals is one of its key draws. This narrative often takes an explicitly political form, promising the replacement of a culturally decadent secular government with a theocratically-inspired authoritarian system (see Newt Gingrich 's retrhatrika at David Horovvitz's Renaissance Weekend for a recent example of this appeal). Or, as Gitlin said, the salvation narrative may promise eternal life in Heaven -- after the enemies of God are slaughtered en masse in a display of pornographic violence, as portrayed in Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins' bestselling Left Behind Series. During a time of economic decline, persistent cultural strife, deepening American involvement in far-off military conflicts, and rapid environmental deterioration, is there any wonder that some have turned to apocalyptic salvation narratives promising both a transcendent, everlasting future and violent retribution against perceived evildoers? A 2002 CNN poll found that 59% of Americans believe that the prophecies in the Book of Revelations will come true. The startling number reflected the still-fresh trauma of the 9/11 attacks, but suspect that it has held steady, if not risen. Indeed, mainstream American culture is permeated by apocalypticism; the blockbuster movie hit 2012 is but one recent example. spend several chapters in my book following the Christian right's ascent to the mountain top with George W. Bush's reelection, detailing how the movement shrouded science and reason in the shadow of the cross, then observing as it swiftly imploded during the Tern Schiavo charade. Because I completed my book days after Barad< Obama's inauguration, I was only able to foreshadow the right's plan to undermine the new president. Having watched the right attempt to delegitimize and literally overthrow Bill Clinton for eight years, I did not harbor any illusions about Obantia transcending partisan division by becoming the _l'iberei pag:::caddwho o!.4.0._reunite .ArriericLl as many argued. What I did not include in my book was any sense of where the Democratic left was going, or how this movement had developed its own salvation narrative during the Bush era. Only a presidency as destructive and radical as Bush's could have produced such deep levels of anxiety and desperation among progressives. When the Democratic primary began, some progressives seemed to ache for a secular messiah to descend from the political heavens, reverse Bush's disastrous legacy and save the country from itself.. in their quest for a savior, progressives discovered Barack Obama. "I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views," Obama proclaimed in his book, The Audacity of Hope. As Obama's primary battle against Hiiiary Clinton intensified, his rhetoric and the language of his supporters grew increasingly messianic. At a rally in South Carolina, Oprah Winfrey referred to °barna as "The One," a fusion of Jesus and Nleo from The Matrix. When Obarria defeated Clinton in Iowa, he quoted from a Hopi Indian End Times prophecy that had become popular among New Agers: "W:s. oro?s we've '01:.en waiting. for.',' Moved to the point of ecstasy by Obama's victory speech, Ezra Klein declared the candidate, "not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of the word over flesh... Obarna is, at his best, able to call us back to our higher selves." (Though he is not a progressive by even the wildest stretch of the imagination, it is worth noting that Louis Farrakhan, who had consistently ordered his followers to boycott elections and who attacked black politicians from Harold Washington to Jesse Jackson as tools of the white power structure, .'je.f.,-.GrE‘id in no uncertain terms that Obama was the Messiah.) Now that some of Obama's most zealous supporters are beginning to express grave doubts about his ability to deliver the transcendent change he promised, I think it is time for them to consider their role in contributing to the problems °barna faces with both his Democratic base and his opponents on the right. They embraced a secular salvation narrative that °barna cleverly channeled to excite them and distract from his lack of progressive accomplishments. In the end, Obama's UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766243 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766243 Date: 08/31/2015 messianization created false expectations while establishing political space for the right to undermine and delegitimize him. To be sure; Obama's salvation narrative was dramatically different than the dualistic, malignant version that prevails on the Christian right. Obama never, to my knowledge, played to his supporters' dark sides by promising them holy retribution against their perceived enemies. In fact, part of his appeal stemmed from his repudiation of partisan rancor -- there were no red states where people reject science, demonize gays and attack minority rights. Until he was inaugurated, Obama behaved like a secular Messiah in a world without a Devil. In my book. I detail a series of experiments by a group of political psychologists seeking to provide evidence that the fear of death inspires extreme conservative beliefs -- including apocalypticisrn. Their study was inspired by a theory of cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker: "The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity - designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny of man." The professors discovered that time and again, their study subjects would register more conservative responses to questions if they were first reminded of their own deaths. (See John Judis' excellent artide on the studies for more). The use of mortality reminders came in to play as soon as Obama was inaugurated. Almost immediately, the right attempted to delegitimize him by reversing the phenomenon he relied on to win: While he attempted to serve as a blank screen for Americans to project their aspirations upon, they projected their most fearsome inner demons onto him. During the October McCain-Palin rallies, Sarah Palin and far-right surrogates like Joe the Plumber attacked Obama as an Other, a strange outsider who did not share mainstream American values. Their intention was to make him as unfamiliar and frightening as possible, and in doing so, to scare off wavering independent voters. By this time, it was too late in the campaign for the tactic to take effect, so it extended into this year and peaked during the Fall Teabagger rallies and town hall disruptions. Teabagger activists transposed images of Stalin and Hitler onto Obama's face. (Their propaganda bore a disturbing resemblance to the signs waved by right-wing Jewish settlers during rallies against Yitzhak Rabin that depicted the soon to be assassinated Israeli PM in Nazi SS garb and as the collaborator Marshall Petain, two seemingly incongruous images). Obama was a Muslim; Obama was a commie; Obama was a cosmopolitan globalist; Obama was a black nationalist. It did not matter who Obama really was. The right simply wanted to convince America he was The Other. As cynical as their tactic is, it has damaged Obama in large part because he offered himself up as "a blank screen," defining himself as he thought different audiences wished to see him, and ultimately not establishing a very clear identity at all. The right has complemented its anti-Obama propaganda with false rumors designed to inject the language of death into the healthcare debate. The single most damaging rumor, adopted from the cult of Lyndon LaRouche, refined by healthcare industry lobbyist Betsy McCaughey. and popularized by Sarah Palin, was that Obarna's healthcare reform proposal included a plan to implement "death panels." While the president pleaded for compromise and reason, the right repeated the baseless charge over and over that he planned to pull the plug on grandma, euthanize the severely handicapped, and kill the sick. Obama has not yet recovered from the damage the right's mortality reminders did to his political standing. Since Obama announced his plan to escalate the war in Afghanistan, and with the White House apparently poised to scrap the public option and Medicare buy-in proposals to mollify Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the progressive left is going into contortions. Turn on 1VISNIBC or read any major progressive blog and you will see former Obama zealots proclaim, "Kill the bill!" while assailing the president as an empty suit. The liberal left has become so disgruntled that a leading conservative talk radio host asked me recently if progressives were considering a primary challenge to Obama. I laughed and stated my belief that despite his troubles, Obama would win a second term. Whether or not that happens, those former Obama fanatics experiencing a crisis in faith should look in the mirror. They demanded a secular salvation narrative and participated in the near-deification of the politician who so eloquently delivered it to them. They now know that Obama is just a politician. What they have refused to acknowledge is that he would not have fallen so hard had they not lifted him so high.

Controversy arose over statement by Valenzuela during a restricted meeting with the local press in which he echoes the concerns of American businessmen in that country regarding "judicial insecurity" and the management of the economy. Valenzuela, also indicated that has been noted "change" in the investment climate for US businesses and reminded those present that "in 1996 there was a great deal of enthusiasm regarding investment" in Argentina. The Argentine Foreign Ministry responded in a communiqué that the government "has not received complaints from US business with interests and investments in the country." Interior Minister Florencia Randazzo lamented that "some officials revert to old practices" when there is the expectation of a new period in US foreign policy." Argentina's Clarin carries the same story titled "Official Anger with Obama's Envoy Because He Spoke about Judicial Insecurity" with the Interior Minister's riposte "Argentina is living in a period of complete judicial and institutional guarantees" and the nation "has left behind the period in which an official of another country can tell ours what guarantees should exist to benefit its own interests." INFOBAE.com adds that Minister of Justice Julio Alak described Valenzuela's statements as "unprecedented and unjustified."

From: Kelly, Craig A To: Sullivan, Jacob J Sent: Thu Dec 17 18:07:32 2009 Subject: FW: Statement from Senator Lemieux on Shannon Hold Subject: Statement from Senator Lemieux on Shannon Hold WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator George LeMieux (R-FL) today released the following statement regarding his decision to allow the nomination of Tom Shannon to move forward. Mr. Shannon is nominated to be the next U.S. ambassador to Brazil. Senator LeMieux stated: As a senator from Florida, the gateway to Latin America, it is incumbent upon me to focus on U.S. policy as it relates to the Western Hemisphere. It is my assessment that U.S. foreign policy in the hemisphere stands at a critical juncture. Our actions in the region signal to all countries where we stand on our commitment to respecting democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Our policy in Latin America cannot be transactional. We must insist on human rights and other democratic institutions including the rule of law. Fortifying democratic institutions and pursuing respect for human rights is the cornerstone of United States' foreign policy in Latin America. It was because of these concerns that I placed a hold on the nomination of Tom Shannon. This allowed more time for me to evaluate Mr. Shannon's record and to ask specific questions of Mr. Shannon and State Department officials. Two countries that represent the direction of the foreign policy commitments of the United States are Honduras and Cuba — Honduras, having just emerged from a constitutional process that resulted in the removal of its president and elections, and Cuba, where a dictatorial regime continues to oppress its people and violate their most basic human rights. In these two areas, the United States must be resolute — demonstrating through action our insistence on democracy and respect for the rule of law. During this process I have discussed my concerns for the region with Secretary Clinton. I am grateful for her appreciation of the unique responsibility I have to the region as a Senator from Florida. I am confident Secretary Clinton shares my concern about a reverse of the progress of democracy and the rise of authoritarian strongmen in Latin America. I have received sufficient commitments from Secretary Clinton that the Administration's policy in Latin America, and specifically in Honduras and Cuba, will take a course that promotes democratic ideals and goals. As a result of these discussions with Secretary Clinton and other State Department officials, I am pleased to report several concrete examples of this commitment.

Counter-narcotics cooperation will resume, and visa procedures will be normalized. In Cuba, the U.S. will reopen the process for non-profit organizations to apply for pro-democracy grants, the practice of including members of the Cuban pro-democracy movement in events at the U.S. Interests Section will be restored, Title W of the Helms Burton Act will be enforced, and the awarding of Cuba Democracy Assistance grants will be done in a fair and transparent manner. Ensuring our neighbors in the hemisphere recognize our commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law is fundamental. Leaders in nations that seek to destabilize the region are paying close attention to U.S. actions and the way in which we carry out our policies in Latin America. I look forward to a continuing dialogue on hOw we can strengthen U.S. relations with the nations of the Western Hemisphere. This email is UNCLASSIFIED. SBU This email is UNCLASSIFIED.

Africa's Anti-Gay Laws Spark Accusations and Denials in US Nico Colombant I Washington 21 December 2009 Photo: AP Evangelical pastor Rick Warren, 23 Jun 2009 Anti-gay laws sweeping through East Africa have sparked a debate in the United States about the possible influence of American evangelical leaders and lawmakers with strong ties in that region. U.S. activists are also shedding new light on the risks that gays face in East Africa. In his book called The Family, American journalist Jeff Sharlet criticizes a group of influential American Christian leaders and conservative lawmakers with close ties to politicians in East Africa. He accuses them of treating some of the countries they deal with as social and political experiments. "It has become sort of a Frankenstein's monster and is the family going to take responsibility for the empowerment they have given to some of these politicians?," asked Jeff Sharlet. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766390 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766390 Date: 08/31/2015 In his book, Sharlet specifically refers to politicians in Uganda proposing an anti-gay law that would criminalize homosexuality. The law, which could be passed within weeks despite international condemnation, includes possible punishment by death. Anti-gay laws were recently passed in Burundi, are being discussed in Rwanda, and could soon be expanded in Kenya and Tanzania. The American group Sharlet calls The Family is also known as The Fellowship. It organizes an annual National Prayer Breakfast with the U.S. president and foreign guests, but besides that activity shuns publicity and does not openly list its members. But Sharlet says more American reporters are looking into the group and its alleged ties to Africa. These include helping African politicians with money so they can push socially conservative agendas. "We see reporters in Iowa, in Pennsylvania, and in Oklahoma, going to their elected representatives who have a link to this whole thing and saying 'tell us about the link'," he said. "They are not accusing them of anything, they are saying, 'You have a relationship with the Ugandan government, what is the nature of that relationship? And, are you going to use that influence to oppose this legislation that seems to be supported by some of your allies?" Religious leaders like Rick Warren have also been under the microscope. He is the senior pastor of the California-based Saddleback church, which is active in both Uganda and Rwanda. After being questioned about his role by U.S. media, Warren issued a video message on the Internet, denying his support for the law in Uganda. "As an American pastor, it is not my role to interfere with the politics of other nations, but it is my role to speak out on moral issues and it is my role to shepherd other pastors who look to me for guidance, and it is my role to correct lies and errors and false reports when others associate my name with a law that I had nothing to do with, [and which] I completely oppose and I vigorously condemn," said Rick Warren. "I am referring to the pending law under consideration by the Ugandan parliament, known as the Anti-Homosexuality Bill." Rwanda's parliament is also working to pass a law which would criminalize homosexuality but Warren has yet to address his church's role in that matter. In 2005, he called Rwanda a "purpose driven nation." Warren went with dozens of American evangelicals to hold meetings with government ministers, lawmakers and donate materials to churches across Rwanda. Several American lawmakers who have been linked to the Fellowship, like Nevada Senator John Ensign have called the Ugandan law proposal "outrageous". But others like Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who went to Uganda in 2004, have said they do not know enough about the bill to comment. The executive director of the U.S.-based International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, Cary Alan Johnson, welcomes some of the questions now being asked. "It is a debate that has to happen and we are glad it is happening," said Cary Alan Johnson. "Rwanda and Uganda are both countries with deeply spiritual people and as of late we have understood that some of the more conservative elements in the United States have been funding the most violent and homophobic discourses about homosexuality." Johnson says those seeking to push an agenda should understand the consequences of their actions. He warns anti-gay laws could worsen already high HIV levels in east Africa.

"Laws we are talking about in Uganda, Rwanda, will make it impossible for groups to do HIV education that targets men who have sex with men or that targets bisexual people and we know that there is a strong impact of HIV on this community and on society in general." Lisa Laurel Weinberg, from the Massachusetts Lutheran Social Services Human Rights Protection Project, says the situation is already very difficult. In her other job as an asylum attorney, she recently helped a young Ugandan woman win asylum to the United States. The woman's apartment had been raided by police while she was inside with her girlfriend. "The police broke in and brought them to the police station and raped them in what is called a corrective rape," said Lisa Laurel Weinberg. "It is when males of authority try and correct lesbianism through rape." But Weinberg warns trying to fight the new laws from the outside is very complicated. "I got an e-mail yesterday that said be really careful and check with Ugandans before you do any advocacy from the West, because us imposing our values, they are really sensitive to the whole colonialism history, so that the email cautioned be careful what you do and let it come from them," she said. Some prominent politicians and journalists in East Africa have called homosexuality the "white man's disease." Pro-gay groups in the region, which are mostly underground, say they are becoming increasingly afraid to ask for help, and believe outside interference could worsen the persecution they face.

Eikenberry's November 2009 Cables (full story pasted below): http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/26/worldiasia/26strategy.html?hp and http://documents.nytimes.com/eikenberry-s-memos-on-the-strategy-in-afghanistan?hp#p=1 January 26,2010 U.S. Envoy's Cables Show Concerns on Afghan War Plans By ERIC SCHMITT WASHINGTON — The United States ambassador in Kabul warned his superiors here in November that President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan "is not an adequate strategic partner" and "continues to shun responsibility for any sovereign burden," according to a UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766418 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766418 Date: 08/31/2015 classified cable that offers a much bleaker accounting of the risks of sending additional American troops to Afghanistan than was previously known. The broad outlines of two cables from the ambassador, Karl W. Eikenberry, became public within days after he sent them, and they were portrayed as having been the source of significant discussion in the White House, heightening tensions between diplomats and senior military officers, who supported an increase of 30,000 American troops. But the full cables, obtained by The New York Times, show for the first time just how strongly the current ambassador felt about the leadership of the Afghan government, the state of its military and the chances that a troop buildup would actually hurt the war effort by making the Karzai government too dependent on the United States. The cables — one four pages, the other three — also represent a detailed rebuttal to the counterinsurgency strategy offered by Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top American and NATO commander in Afghanistan, who had argued that a rapid infusion of fresh troops was essential to avoid failure in the country. They show that Mr. Eikenberry, a retired Army lieutenant general who once was the top American commander in Afghanistan, repeatedly cautioned that deploying sizable American reinforcements would result in "astronomical costs" — tens of billions of dollars — and would only deepen the dependence of the Afghan government on the United States. "Sending additional forces will delay the day when Afghans will take over, and make it difficult, if not impossible, to bring our people home on a reasonable timetable," he wrote Nov. 6. "An increased U.S. and foreign role in security and governance will increase Afghan dependence, at least in the short-term." Without offering details, Mr. Eikenberry has said in public hearings since then that his concerns have been dealt with, and that he supported the White House's troop increase plan. But it is not clear what might have changed about his assessment of President Karzai as a reliable partner, and the strong language of the cables may increase tensions between the ambassador and the Karzai government, especially as world leaders meet in London on Thursday to discuss a much-debated Afghan plan to reintegrate Taliban fighters. It also coincides with a strong effort by the administration to mend ties with Mr. Karzai. An American official provided a copy of the cables to The Times after a reporter requested them. The official said it was important for the historical record that Mr. Eikenberry's detailed assessments be made public, given that they were among the most important documents produced during the debate that led to the troop buildup.

The proposed counterinsurgency strategy assumes an Afghan political leadership that is both able to take responsibility and to exert sovereignty in the furtherance of our goal — a secure, peaceful, minimally self-sufficient Afghanistan hardened against transnational terrorist groups. "Yet Karzai continues to shun responsibility for any sovereign burden, whether defense, governance or development. He and much of his circle do not want the U.S. to leave and are only too happy to see us invest further," Mr. Eikenberry wrote. "They assume we covet their territory for a never-ending 'war on terror' and for military bases to use against surrounding powers." He continued, "Beyond Karzai himself, there is no political ruling class that provides an overarching national identity that transcends local affiliations and provides reliable partnership." In a second cable, dated Nov. 9, he expressed new concerns: "In a PBS interview on November 7, Karzai sounded bizarrely cautionary notes about his willingness to address governance and corruption. This tracks with his record of inaction or grudging compliance in this area." On Monday, Mr. Eikenberry declined through an embassy spokeswoman, Caitlin M. Hayden, to comment on the cables and his views on Mr. Karzai. She said by e-mail, "We stand by what we provided during the review process, which got us to the clear strategy we're now implementing, that the ambassador unequivocally supports." In his memos, Mr. Eikenberry raised other concerns. He said he had serious doubts about the ability of the Afghan police and military forces to take over security duties in the country by 2013. "The Army's high attrition and low recruitment rates for Pashtuns in the south are crippling," he wrote. "Simply keeping the force at current levels requires tens of thousands of new recruits every year to replace attrition losses and battlefield casualties." The ambassador, who left the military last April to become Mr. Obama's emissary, also complained about an inadequate civilian counterpart organization to the NATO military command in Afghanistan. Nearly three months later, he is still expressing concerns about too few civilian experts in Afghanistan. He also noted worries that the success of Mr. Obama's Afghanistan policy hinged on Pakistani forces' eliminating militants' havens in the mountainous region near the Afghan border.

"Until this sanctuary problem is fully addressed, the gains from sending additional forces may be fleeting." "As we contemplate greatly expanding our presence in Afghanistan, the better answer to our difficulties could well be to further ratchet up our engagement in Pakistan," he wrote without elaboration. On Nov. 9, he repeatedly warned against rushing into a large deployment of more American forces without further study. He urged that the White House appoint a bipartisan panel of "civilian and military experts to examine the Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy" and provide recommendations by the end of 2009. The recommendation, which would have extended a White House-led policy review of many months, was not accepted. Mr. Eikenberry suggested sending a relatively small force to train Afghan security forces and protect some population centers, and to condition more troops on the Afghans' meeting objectives, like committing to taking full responsibility for national defense by a specific date. And while General McChrystal warned of failure if additional troops were not deployed, Mr. Eikenberry concluded by cautioning of competing risks "that we will become more deeply engaged here with no way to extricate ourselves, short of allowing the country to descend again into lawlessness and chaos."

Brown believes you should make a call to McGuinness this morning around 830 am (Declan and I agree that if you call McG you also must call Robinson). Brown proposes to speak with you at 820 or so to bring you up to speed before those calls. The current situation is that Brown and Cowen are in Belfast, and met with Robinson, McGuinness, and other parties until 330 in the morning Belfast time. They have now resumed today. The sticking point is parades. Robinson wants the current parades commission abolished because it gives Republicans too much say. McGuinness refuses to allow the parades issue to be tied to the devolution issue. The key message to McGuinness is to keep working this thing through -- not to take any drastic action that would bring down the assembly or collapse the process. Declan agrees that this is the moment to make calls. If you agree we can have the ops center set up the Brown call as well as the other two. We'll get you some more background before the calls, but talking points will be fluid and shaped in large measure by Brown's report.

Sinn Fein and the DUP are apparently not yet meeting face to face at Hillsborough but using the two governments as go betweens. On-site observers have characterized the current atmosphere between the two parties as "poisonous." were invited to Hillsborough yesterday night. However, these parties tell us that this was only an informational exercise and they have yet to be included in any substantive meetings. Outstanding Issues: The obstacle to progress seems to be centered on the parades issue and setting of specific dates for devolution. Robinson and the DUP are insisting on the abolishing of the Parades Commission, an independent panel despised by the Orange Order as restricting their desire to parade through nationalist areas, and the adoption of a new process relying on local councils to refer potentially contentious parades to an OFM/dFM selected panel. Sinn Fein and SDLP are both concerned that this will politicize decision-making on parades and PSNI involvement. In late December, the UK government renewed the Parades Commission's mandate until December 2010, so it is expected that any new process would not be implemented until after the summer 2010 parading season.

The Houses will be configured as 1Bed/lBath and 2Bed/1Bath — with floor plans ranging from 155 sqft to 300 sqft respectively. Houses are wind and earthquake resistant (see specifications bellow). InnoVida is currently in the process of partnering with different non-profit organizations that will assist us in this endeavor (Among them World Vision http:fiwww.worldvision.org and Medishare http://projectmedishare.org ) We expect to have a first assessment of the situation by the beginning of February, including identifying possible locations and the short-term requirements for buildings and housing needs. To this effect a delegation from InnoVida will travel to Haiti on Saturday, Jan. 30th to meet with local authorities and NGO's local staff. Our plans are to send the first structures during the course of the next three to four weeks. Presently, we believe that we will initially send structures for hospitals and/or shelters as well as schools. InnoVida will follow the construction guidelines established by the Haiti Recovery Team that is now in formation. It is too early for us to have a design and a master plan of the exact type of house or where it would be built in the country. InnoVida will be ready to start shipping the first batch of 150 houses 30 days after a design is approved. For the last six months, InnoVida has been planning the installation of manufacturing plan in Haiti. After the earthquake, this plan has become a top priority, due to the housing needs in the country. This factory will also create a significant amount of new jobs. We are actively seeking to have the factory installed and running in the next 4 to 6 months. INNOVIDA: An Ideal Housing Solution for Haiti InnoVida is a U.S. company that manufactures building solutions which bridge the gap between energy efficiency, affordability and high quality. Using its proprietary technology we manufacture Fiber Composite Panels (FCPs), which are used to build houses, offices, schools, warehouses, medical centers, manufactured, modular, and mobile homes, etc. without the use of cement, steel or wood and with significant savings in cost to build, time to build and energy cost to operate. 1nnoVida's FCP is a load bearing insulating panel system with structural skins made of high-strength E-Glass fiber fabrics impregnated with a fire-resistant polymeric epoxy resin and a core made of a construction foam material. The end result of this combination is that FCP construction is a stronger and better way to build. The versatility of the material and the advanced technology applied allows the construction of a complete structure from foundation to roof. The building components include composite structural insulated panels that can be used to manufacture exterior walls, interior walls, beams, columns, profiles, and roofing. InnoVida's FCPs' inherent characteristics make them a better building alternative. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766494 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766494 Date: 08/31/2015 Inn°Vida Structures are: I> Built Fast — Structures built with InnoVidaPanels can be built one third faster than conventional building construction. These structures do not require heavy equipment and nominal skilled labor is required Earthquake Resistant — FCPs have a high deflection capacity of 20% compared to the traditional 5% before they reach their breaking point. Also, due to the lightweight nature of the FCP, any structurally damage that may occur will be much less harmful to the occupant than with traditional materials. • Hurricane Resistant — The Wall Panel and Roof Panel were tested and approved for wind speeds above 156 mph. Waterproof — Does not provide a food source for algae and mold. 1> Fire Resistant — The Panel skins will not support combustion. Also, the chemicals released from fuel-fed fires held against the building surface are not poisonous to humans. • Low Maintenance — Does not provide a living environment for termites or rodents and has a long life span. I> Energy Efficient — InnoVida's FCP has an R-value of 5.88 per inch with a total tested wall R-value of 14.6 for the 2.5 inch Panel and 23.7 for the 4 inch Panel. The insulative core significantly reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and/or cool and provides excellent noise reduction. f> A Greener Alternative — Our products and processes are much less detrimental to the environment than conventional construction by producing very little construction-site waste, air pollution, and natural resource consumption. i> Limitless Architectural and Aesthetic Bounds — FCPs can be curved into any shape and be finished with any desired option (stone, stucco, paint, wallpaper, etc.). InnoVida is committed to the Haiti Relief Effort. With our donation of 1,000 homes and the installation of a local FCP manufacturing facility we hope to provide jobs as well as housing to thousands of Haitians with the greater hope of assisting in the full developing, rebuilding and modernizing of the country.

Wouldn't hurt to mention her positively with French interlocutors. See particularly this line: "There is, frankly, a whiff of old boy's network against Lady Ashton: she is not a lifetime member of the honourable guild of former foreign ministers, and she is surrounded by men in suits who think they know a lot more about foreign policy than she does. There is not much sympathy for her complicated family life, involving young children, and much commuting between Brussels and Britain." A blog by the author of our column on the European Union Charlemagne's notebook . Why did Lady Ashton take the EU's foreign policy job? • Jan 26th 2010, 22:04 NOT yet February, and the briefing against Catherine Ashton, the newly appointed EU foreign policy chief, is getting nasty. Jean Quatremer, the Brussels blogger and well-connected EU correspondent of Liberation, dropped another depth charge against the baroness tonight. His list of complaints against her is long, and I have a feeling some of them are a smidgeon exaggerated. I find it hard to believe it is literally impossible to reach Lady Ashton after eight o'clock in the evening as Mr Quatremer charges, because she allegedly has her mobile telephones diverted to the EU situation centre (a small intelligence analysis cell staffed by officers from national servicies) after that hour. I also have some doubts about the stress laid on the fact that she has not yet got round to having top secret security clearance yet, so cannot see any confidential papers. As a former British cabinet minister, and serving UK commissioner, something tells me the British at least may share just the odd secret with her. A senior official I saw today also made the point that any holder of Lady Ashton's post would currently be struggling with teething problems and squabbling as the new foreign policy apparatus created by the Lisbon Treaty takes shape. There is, frankly, a whiff of old boy's network against Lady Ashton: she is not a lifetime member of the honourable guild of former foreign ministers, and she is surrounded by men in suits who think they know a lot more about foreign policy than she does. There is not much sympathy for her complicated family life, involving young children, and much commuting between Brussels and Britain. Finally, at the risk of sounding too loyal to the British, I think Mr Quatremer is being unfair when he says that it suits the Foreign Office in London to have Lady Ashton "sabotage" the post.

That may be a self-serving sort of fear (because it allows the British to offer Lady Ashton lots of help) but it is real enough. Other charges probably have something to them. They certainly chime with things I have been told by other people. But most damaging, to my mind, is the intimate nature of some of the briefing: this stuff is coming from officials close to Lady Ashton, or who are senior enough to have significant contact with her. And I can confirm from my own conversations that people across the whole EU foreign policy machine are asking the same question: why did she take this huge job, when her instinct seems to be to make it as low key as possible? That is a dangerous question mark to have hanging over you.

The 27 member states of the EU had gone into the talks with a unified position and with a plan for financing emissions cuts in the developing world, with a commitment to spend around 7 billion euros ($10.01 billion) over the next three years to aid poorer countries. But those aims were largely sidelined as the talks failed to produce the breakthrough agreement many had hoped for. "Europe never lost its aim, never, never came to splits or different positions, but of course this was mainly about other countries really (being) unwilling, and especially the United States and China," said Carlgren. Britain on Monday blamed China and a handful of other countries of holding the world to ransom by blocking a legally binding treaty at Copenhagen, stepping up a blame game that has gathered momentum since the talks ended. Prime Minister Gordon Brown described the summit as "at best flawed and at worst chaotic" and demanded an urgent reform of the process to try to reach a legal treaty when talks are expected to resume in Germany next June. But Danish Climate Minister Connie Hedegaard, who quit as president of the Copenhagen talks midway through after being criticised by African countries for favouring wealthier nations in negotiations, said it was no time to get depressed about the process of tackling climate change. "What we need to do is to secure the step that we took and turn it into a result," she told reporters as she arrived for the Brussels meeting on Tuesday. Asked whether Copenhagen had been a failure, she replied: "It would have been a failure if we had achieved nothing. But we achieved something. A first step. It was the first time we held a process where all the countries were present, including the big emitters."

The sharp words from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu were the latest baring of diplomatic bad blood after the talks in Copenhagen ended on Saturday with a broad, non-binding accord that fell short of hopes for a robust global agreement on how to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Jiang was responding to a report in Britain's Guardian newspaper that said the Environment Minister Ed Miliband had accused China, Sudan, Bolivia and other left-wing Latin American nations of "hijacking" efforts to reach deeper agreement on how to fight global warming. In a separate commentary for the paper, Miliband said China vetoed a widely supported proposal at the Copenhagen talks to aim to cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2050. "We cannot again allow negotiations on real points of substance to be hijacked," he also wrote, but without singling out China or any other country as a "hijacker." Chinese spokeswoman Jiang did not chide Miliband by name, but Beijing's ire was clear. "The statements from certain British politicians are plainly a political scheme," she said in a statement issued by the official Xinhua news agency. "Their objective is to shirk responsibilities that should be assumed towards developing countries, and to provoke discord among developing countries. This scheme will come to nothing." The flap is unlikely to seriously disrupt negotiations seeking to turn the Copenhagen accord into a legally binding treaty. But the sour exchange has underscored the distrust between China and rich countries that could frustrate efforts to agree on that treaty by late 2010. "Everyone is raising the banner of protecting the planet, but in reality they are protecting their own interests," Wang Vi, a climate change policy researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, told Reuters. "The compromises (in Copenhagen) were very, very limited." China is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases from human activities and its biggest developing economy. Other governments have pressed it to do more to reduce its growing emissions and to submit its emissions goals to international checks as part of any new climate pact. But China and other big developing countries have accused the rich economies of failing to offer big enough cuts to their emissions, and of not offering enough money and technological help to poor countries to cope with climate change. Chinese experts have also said the goal of cutting global greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2050 is empty rhetoric without those commitments from rich nations. "Currently, the most difficult issue to resolve is the scale and structure of each country's emissions reductions," said Li Zhiqing, an environmental policy professor at Fudan University in Shanghai, writing in the city's Wenhui Daily newspaper. "Clearly, there will be no breakthrough on this in the near term and we can only maintain the status quo," wrote Li.

Dick Lugar will deliver the following speech tonight at the Society for International Development's annual dinner. I thank the Society for International Development, its members and its leadership - Betsy Bassan and Joe Feuer - for the work they do on development issues around the world, and for organizing this annual gala. It is unfortunate that Chairman Kerry could not be with us tonight, but I know he shares my gratitude for your recognition. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Shah for his remarks and to recognize the efforts of USAID and its new Administrator in responding to the tragic earthquake in Haiti. Dr. Shah has faced one of the most challenging crises imaginable only five days after being sworn in. The job ahead of him - in Haiti and around the globe - is monumental. I look forward to supporting his work and that of his agency in the coming years. I commend all of our responders from all government agencies for their courage, compassion, and skill as they continue their mission in Haiti, and I join all of you in extending our prayers to the people of that nation. Tonight I would like to offer a few points about where we have come from and where we might be going with regard to U.S. investments in development. The challenges of global poverty and hunger are growing at a time when worries about the sustainability of natural resources are increasing. Population growth and increased affluence in some parts of the globe will require that we more than double world food production by 2050 to keep pace. At the same time, to address environmental concerns, we will have to harvest that food from roughly the same amount of land that is in production today. The accessibility and availability of food deeply affects the health of populations. Childhood malnutrition has lifelong consequences for the productivity of individuals and nations. Poverty denies opportunity to the world's young people and breeds extremism and instability that spills over borders. It is not surprising that the CIA has long tracked and analyzed global food supplies as an indicator of potential conflict. There is probably not a person in this room who would disagree that development is critical for U.S. national security and that the alleviation of poverty and hunger is a key component. This is a sentiment that is shared in most parts of our government, including the Department of Defense. But even though the importance of advancing development goals is evident, constructing the most efficient, accountable, and transparent means for achieving those goals is complex and challenging. Differences of opinion exist with regard to who should be performing development functions and how these activities should be integrated into our broader foreign policy efforts. We have not reached a consensus within our government on who should be doing what, where, when and why. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766534 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766534 Date: 08/31/2015 As we debate these issues, we should keep in mind that diplomacy and development are two distinct disciplines. Although diplomacy and development often can be mutually reinforcing, at their core, they have different priorities, resource requirements, and time horizons. Most obviously, diplomacy is far more concerned with solving immediate problems, usually associated with countries of strategic interest. Although we hope that our development efforts will sometimes yield short-term strategic benefits, that is not their primary purpose. In a development context, we are willing to take a much longer view of the world and devote resources to countries of less, or even minimal, strategic significance. We are willing to allow the diplomatic and national security benefits of development work to accrue over time. And we are willing to engage in missions for purely altruistic reasons. These differences underscore why development must be an independent partner of diplomacy, not merely its servant. Reforming U.S. Foreign Assistance Reforming U.S. foreign assistance - in both substance and architecture - has been a priority for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Secretary Clinton has stated: "I want USAID to be seen as the premier development agency in the world." I share that sentiment. One of the basic questions with respect to foreign aid reform is how we can best strengthen the capacity of USAID to run effective assistance programs. During the last two decades, decision-makers have not made it easy for the agency to perform its mission. Development resources declined precipitously in the 1990s and reorganization initiatives resulted in the agency's loss of evaluation, budget, and policy capacity. There is broad consensus among development experts that the loss of these functions at USAID is inhibiting the success of our development programs. Our development efforts will never be as effective as they should be if the agency that houses most of our development expertise is cut out of relevant policy and budget decisions. Events since 2001 have spurred greater investments in foreign assistance. But many of these resources have been located outside of USAID. Roughly two dozen departments and agencies have taken over some aspects of foreign assistance, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Agriculture. The President has advocated doubling foreign assistance over time, and has announced new initiatives on food security and health. Given the increased resources needed for these initiatives, it is crucial that the American people and Congress have confidence that these funds will be used efficiently. USAID must have a central role in development policy decisions. If we are to avoid inefficient experimentation, it must have the capacity to evaluate programs and disseminate information about best practices and methods. That requires policy makers to continue augmenting the agency's staffing and expertise. These principals are reflected in legislation that Senator Kerry and I introduced last year, S. 1524, the Foreign Assistance Revitalization and Accountability Act. The Administration has initiated two separate studies - the State Department's Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review and the National Security Council's Presidential Study Directive on Development - in an attempt to make recommendations on how development programs can better support U.S. foreign policy objectives. The QDDR will not be completed until this fall and it is uncertain when, or if, we will know the outcomes of the PSD. I am eager to review the Administration's ideas when they are ready. But in the meantime, Congress should be offering its own ideas on how to improve our government's development capacity. The Kerry-Lugar foreign assistance reform bill is the product of well over a year of research and analysis by Senators and their staffs. It has strong support in the aid community. And it is co-sponsored by a bipartisan group of 23 Senators, twelve of whom are members of the Foreign Relations Committee. This level of backing for a bill related to foreign assistance is extremely rare. It provides an opportunity to build something approaching a consensus on this issue. I am hopeful that the Executive Branch will recognize that a bill co-sponsored by a majority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and nearly a quarter of the full Senate should be given substantial weight in its review process. A strong development agency that serves under the foreign policy guidance of the Secretary of State, as envisioned in our bill, will best empower her to advance U.S. goals. A Development Policy Guided by Objectives Even as we reconsider our development architecture, it is vital that development policy is guided by objectives rather than by how we organize our government to deliver development assistance. We should focus on the big issues - food scarcity, poverty, disease, environmental degradation -- that prevent economic growth in a large swath of the world's countries. Those objectives require that strategies reflect the needs of the countries we are helping rather than the vagaries of our own budget process, which often allocates funds in response to lobbying pressures, media interest, or political favoritism. Country strategies based on broad objectives also give us the best chance to avoid dependence on arbitrary spending targets for specific sectors. For example, promoting food security requires investments not just in agricultural productivity, but in clean water, infrastructure, basic and higher education, and land titling, to name just a few factors. The Global Food Security Act, which I authored with Senator Casey and which Senator Kerry has co-sponsored, reflects these principles. The food price crisis that occurred in 2008 resulted from a culmination of policy choices by UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766534 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766534 Date: 08/31/2015 donor and recipient governments over a decades-long period. That crisis was a wakeup call for the development community, for international donors, and for policymakers worldwide. Because achieving food security must be a multi-sector endeavor that goes beyond simply raising crop yields, U.S. policy must seek to integrate a variety of approaches and actors. At the same time, we do not want to delegate responsibility for food security policy to multiple departments. That could further weaken our already fractured foreign assistance structure. That is why our bill designates USAID, which has the broad development experience necessary, as the lead agency to implement the strategy. "Whole-of-Government" in Perspective The term "whole-of-government" has come into vogue in policy circles. To the extent that the term underscores the complexity of development problems and the need to apply the talents of a diverse set of agencies to their solution, it is useful and descriptive. Our government must have the capacity to draw on expertise to achieve vital development missions without artificial barriers erected by agencies. Many agencies are working together successfully on development problems in many parts of the world. But we should not mistake the term "whole-of-government" for an organizational strategy. Even if multiple agencies are making contributions, someone must be in charge, someone must coordinate the activities of all involved, and someone must take responsibility for inefficiencies and failures. This is especially important in a development context because of our highly fragmented aid system. The risk is that the term "whole-of-government," will be used to justify that fragmentation or preserve roles for agencies where they are not justified. We also must be careful that the whole-of-government concept does not re-define development as a series of technical decisions - from where to dig wells to which seeds to plant in which soils. Such a redefinition would devalue the discipline of development, which many practitioners have spent a lifetime studying and testing. We know from long experience that technical expertise must be grounded in an understanding of development. For example, agricultural advancement depends as much or more on reaching women farmers, building agriculture education, and engaging civil society in support of rural development than it does on seed quality and planting decisions. An integrated strategy can only come from an agency that understands development is a separate discipline, as Dr. Shah has said. I believe the starting point for any future design of our assistance programs should not be the status quo, but rather the period in which we had a well-functioning and well-resourced aid agency. Even if we emphasize the talents of multiple agencies, a strong aid agency that can design integrated country-specific strategies is a key to success. Unity of Purpose Instead of accepting whole-of-government, or any other organizational model, as the guiding narrative, I believe there is a more helpful way of viewing the development mission - that is "unity-of-purpose." We need to be unified around common purposes for which we can marshal the appropriate level of resources and variety of approaches. There will be situations that call for the involvement of multiple agencies under the direction of one government entity. But, the decision to involve other government actors should be driven by the purpose. Such is clearly the case now in Haiti. The U.S. government and international actors are unified for the purpose of disaster response. That response involves the coordination of hundreds of organizations to rescue people and to provide basic elements needed for survival. At some point soon, the mission will evolve from disaster response to reconstruction to development. We should be asking whether we will be able to maintain a unity-of-purpose even as that purpose changes. The Lugar-Casey bill proposes that there be a unity-of-purpose around achieving global food security. Regardless of the situation, it is the unity-of-purpose that should guide how foreign assistance is designed. I applaud Secretary Clinton for adopting food security as a top priority. Her inter-agency team has been working diligently on its Global Food Security and Hunger Initiative, and Congress has been responsive in appropriating funding. Many operational decisions have yet to be made, particularly decisions relating to coordination, but I stand ready to work with the Administration to pass the Lugar-Casey bill as soon as possible. I look forward to achieving a unity-of-purpose between Congress and the Administration on food security. These are not easy issues to solve. I applaud all of you here tonight for your dedication to development and your willingness to work with Congress and the Administration as we try to rebuild our assistance infrastructure. I would conclude with a quote from Dr. Norman Borlaug, the Nobel Laureate and Father of the Green Revolution, whose optimism never flagged. He believed that constant striving would eventually wear down all obstacles. He said, "I cannot emphasize too strongly the fact that further progress depends on intelligent, integrated and persistent effort by government leaders, statesmen, tradesmen, scientists, educators and communication agencies." That is as true today as when he said it 39 years ago, and I invite everyone here to make their own contributions in that spirit. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766534 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766534 Date: 08/31/2015 Caitlin Klevorick Office of the Counselor Department of State KlevorickCBgstate.gov 202.647.6115 ,1:•lacicberry) UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766534 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766535 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Tuesday, December 22, 2009 11:45 AM H Bing UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766535 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766536 Date: 08/31/2015 - RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Tuesday, December 22, 2009 11:46 AM H Bing UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766536 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766537 Date: 08/31/2015 - RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Abedin, Huma Tuesday, December 22, 2009 11:48 AM H Bing UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766537 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766540 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Abedin, Huma Tuesday, December 22, 2009 12:27 PM Fw: (AP) US Congress Party Switch From: Polley, Mary E To: NEWS-Mahogany; NEWS-H Sent: Tue Dec 22 12:20:30 2009 Subject: (AP) US Congress Party Switch WASHINGTON - Senior House aides say freshman Democratic lawmaker Parker Griffith of Alabama is switching to the Republican Party.

We have worked closely with the Government of Brazil to ensure it upholds its obligations under the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction. We were quite concerned by last week's decision suspending the order reuniting Sean with his father. We were encouraged, however, by the appeal filed last Friday by the Brazilian Solicitor General which challenges this suspension. Like you, we are eager to learn of the outcome of this appeal. We understand a decision could be announced shortly. You can be assured that we will continue advocating for the reunification of Sean and his father and pressing the Government of Brazil to ensure swift consideration of the Goldman case so that this long legal process may reach a final conclusion without further delay. In the meantime, please be assured that the State Department as well as the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia has been and will continue to be a resource to the Goldman family during this trying time.

Best wishes Jean-Louis New York Times, January 29, 2010 OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR uilding Haiti's Economy, One Mango at a Time By PAUL COLLIER and JEAN-LOUIS WARNHOLZ IN an astonishing outpouring of generosity, nearly half of American households have donated money to help Haiti recover from the recent earthquake. The United States government and other governments around the world, for their part, have sent thousands of relief workers and have pledged 5$i billion so far. But Haitians need something more fundamental than relief from the present situation; they need jobs that they can count on for years ahead. For this, the private business sector is essential. Luckily, business leaders are meeting now in Davos, Switzerland, and Haiti is prominent on their agenda. Haiti is by far the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and yet it need not be so, because unexploited economic opportunities abound there. Some of the best mangoes in the world grow in Haiti — though too many of them rot, offshore from the world's largest market, for want of adequate roads and well-governed ports. Excellent coffee is grown in the Haitian mountains, but much of it is sold informally across the border to coffee producers in the Dominican Republic, who reap most of the profits. Haiti also has many qualities attractive to tourists: a warm climate; magnificent whitesand beaches and turquoise water; Tortuga, the famous pirate island off the northern UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766548 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766548 Date: 08/31/2015 coast; and the Citadel, a mountain fortress erected after Haiti's independence in the early 19th century to fend off colonial powers, now a World Heritage site. Still, it is one of the least visited places in the Caribbean. The Hope II trade pact with the United States, signed in 2008, granted Haiti duty-free access to the American apparel market for the next decade. Already, as a result of the deal, many garment factories situated along Haiti's eastern border (so as to use Dominican electricity and ports) have become profitable and competitive with Chinese garment makers. But light manufacturing could be much bigger in Haiti — if the Haitian government and donors would credibly commit to providing functioning roads, electrical grids and ports, and if outside private capital would invest, patiently, in Haitian businesses. Poverty and a history of coups and trade embargoes have pushed Haiti's reputation as a place to do business to near the bottom of the global pile, alongside countries like Afghanistan, Somalia and Iraq. But Haiti is far safer and offers far more market opportunities than those conflict-ridden nations. The obvious difficulty in Haiti is that its economic center, Port-au-Prince, is now in shambles. Private investors are naturally wary of jumping into a market too soon, before it is lively enough to provide certain kinds of support. After all, many businesses can be profitable only if other businesses exist alongside them. Ships don't sail directly from Haiti to Florida because there aren't enough goods to warrant dedicated routes. In the meantime, without reliable routes for direct export of goods, investment in production in Haiti is stymied. Even within a single manufacturing sector, it helps to have many businesses operating together. Garment factories, for example, cluster together, because they share a common need for support services. In Haiti, the cluster of garment makers has been too small even to keep repair shops in business; it can take weeks to fly in a technician to fix a broken sewing machine. So, production costs are high because there are too few investors, and there are too few investors because costs are so high. The way to address this chicken-and-egg problem is for individual private investors to coordinate with one another. This would not be a new strategy; in the 19th century, the American West was developed not as a process of gradual diffusion but in spasms of local investment booms, financed by enthusiastic outsiders. The earthquake could usher in such a boom in Haiti. The World Economic Forum in Davos provides an opportunity for businesses that might invest in Haiti — international fashion brands, hotels and coffee chains, for example — to UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766548 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766548 Date: 08/31/2015 coordinate with companies that provide logistics and markets, so that together they could make mutual commitments. The foundation for such coordination has already been laid — by Bill Clinton, who led 200 international investors to Haiti last October. As a result of this effort, international chains like Best Western and Choice Hotels started building new hotels in Haiti. The earthquake has, of course, changed opportunities in Haiti, but it has not necessarily reduced them. The American construction industry is mired in deep recession and so has the excess capacity to meet Haiti's sudden need for low-cost housing, roads, bridges and other structures. If American construction firms can harness Haitian labor to reconstruct (safer) homes, then the challenge will be to lure other businesses in their wake so that temporary jobs in reconstruction are replaced by long-term jobs in manufacturing, agriculture and tourism. In meeting this challenge, banks and private venture capital also have an important role to play. Haiti needs generous venture capital that encourages some firms to move in first. George Soros , the investor and philanthropist, has recognized this need by committing $25 million for smart investments that catalyze Haiti's competitive advantages. Many more such commitments are needed. For now, even public sources of risk capital like the World Bank's International Finance Corporation and Britain's Commonwealth Development Corporation have no special provision for the kind of coordinated pump-priming investment that's required in Haiti. Most public capital goes to emerging market economies where private investment no longer needs to be encouraged. Haiti, with its genuine opportunities and immediate needs, provides a chance for public finance organizations to find new relevance. It is also a chance for private business to show it can take a major role in meeting the gravest human needs. Paul Collier, an economics professor at Oxford, was a special adviser on Haiti to the United Nations secretary general in 2009. Jean-Louis Warnholz, the managing director of a business consulting company, was an economic adviser to Haiti's prime minister in 2009.

Mark seems to be going down the same road with all three of us. At first he knew very little about the actual Expo but now he seems focused on the Secretary's role in bringing the USA Pavilion back to life. We all agreed that he seems to be writing a favorable story. He specifically wanted to know about her role and whether her "political" background helped her get there ( as opposed to a more traditional foreign affairs "career" Secretary). We thought that her political side helped her immediately recognize that she had a real problem with the Chinese that needed to be fixed immediately. As a problem-solving politico, she immediately went to work to fix it. He also wanted to know if she used the WJC/HRC rolodex to raise money. We said no and noted that all of the money is being raised in the business community and not by individuals. She did not go to her political fundraising base. We did not mention it but it is interesting that many of the early big sponsors were NY based companies like GE (1—), Pepsi ( ), Corning, Cummins, Deloitte, NYSE, and Pfizer. He asked if S made individual calls to CEO's and we noted (as recd by L), the only general "asks" were done on conference calls or in large groups. We also noted that she never really "asked" for sponsorships, instead she stressed the importance of getting a formidable USA presence at the Shanghai Expo that is so important to the Chinese and will attract 70 million people. This could be the largest event in human history and will go from May 1 to October 31, 2010. Talking Points When S arrived at State, the USA and Andorra were the only two countries that did not sign a participation agreement with the Chinese. We had less than $250,000 in the bank. In just ten months, S assigned the Global Partnership Initiative office to lead the project, sent a signal to the State Department bureaucracy that this was a priority and that we would participate, named a Commissioner General, signed the participation agreement, asked Secretary Locke to break ground, raised $54.3 M to build and operate it, and visited the actual construction site in November. The Pavilion is on target to be opened in mid-April.

However, in less than seven days, a makeshift version of 911 sprung to life. It's a striking story of how a few tech-savvy social entrepreneurs, receptive ears in the U.S. government and hundreds of Haitian Creole-speaking strangers crowdsourced from around the world were able to help people on the ground get food or medical attention. Hours after the earthquake struck Port au Prince, 23-year-old Josh Nesbit (pictured right), who heads a non-profit delivering health care in Sub-Saharan Africa through mobile phones, thought that an SMS gateway would be critical in Haiti. He sent a tweet out asking for help. A Cameroonian managing a startup incubator in Africa, Jean Francis Ahanda, responded mentioning that a contact, Jean-Marc Castera, was headed to the command center of the Caribbean's largest wireless carrier Digicel that day. Within three days, they had co-opted a shortcode, 4636, that had been used for weather information in Haiti. They rushed to get several other partners like Ushahidi, which provides an open-source platform for tracking crisis communications, and Google on board. A non-profit that specializes in using technology for disaster relief, Instedd, built an emergency information system using the shortcode. On a very late Saturday night, a cobbled-together team of a half-dozen organizations or so launched '4636' as an emergency number. They started publicizing it on the ground in Haiti through radio stations. Haitians could text the number with messages about injuries, people trapped under rubble or reports of missing people.

(Crowdflower is a venture-backed startup while Samasource is a non-profit that gives this work to refugees and people in the poorest parts of the world, including Haiti.) Crowdflower and Samasource asked for people around the world fluent in Haitian-Creole to translate and prioritize emergency texts coming out of Haiti. So far, a few hundred have signed up. (See the map below.) Nesbit admits the privacy situation isn't perfect, but the project helps people in dire need. Another contact, Katie Stanton, who was an early Google employee and is now the Director of Citizen Participation at the State Department, helped get emergency responders from the U.S. Coast Guard and Red Cross involved. Now if a Haitian texts 4636, a stranger on the other side of the world will translate it and other volunteers (pictured right) will send it to the right responder whether it's an urgent medical need or a general request for more food and water. Volume has risen to about 2,500 messages a day since the Jan. 16 launch and messages are translated and forwarded usually in between 2 and 10 minutes. They've filtered through more than 20,000 texts so far. In some cases, it's been life-saving. Earlier this week, a Haitian woman went into labor and started bleeding out. She texted 4636, calling for help. A translator and stranger pinpointed her location on a map, giving the U.S. Coast Guard her coordinates. They were able to reach her in time to help her deliver the baby. The non-profits behind '4636' are now trying to scale it up as the number of messages rises 10 percent a day. They're also trying to make it more sustainable with larger pools of consistent volunteers. "Honestly, this is rare to see groups like the State Department, Ushahidi and Instedd all working together," Nesbit said. "I hope it doesn't take another catastrophe to see this type of collaboration again. The bright spot in all of this is seeing the tech community take ownership." True, but the more intriguing part of the story may be that this all started with a simple tweet. In fact, Nesbit never set foot in Haiti.

Sid X r --r How do I know China wrecked the Copenhagen deal? I was in the room As recriminations fly post-Copenhagen, one writer offers a fly-on-the-wall account of how talks faded 0 0 o Mark cvnas c...q,uk, Tuesday 22 December 2009 19.54 GMT Copenhagen was a disaster. That much is agreed. But the truth about what actually happened is in danger of being lost amid the spin and inevitable mutual recriminations. The truth is this: Chrs.a wrecked the talks, intentionally humiliated Barack Obama, and insisted on an awful "dear so western leaders would walk away carrying the blame. How do I know this? Because I was in the room and saw it happen. China's strategy was simple: block the open negotiations for two weeks, and then ensure that the closed-door deal made It look as if the west had failed the world's poor once again. And sure enough, the aid agencies, civil society movements and environmental groups all took the bait. The failure was "the inevitable result of rich countries refusing adequately and fairly to shoulder their overwhelming responsibility", said Christian Aid. "Rich countries have bullied developing nations," fumed Friends of the Earth International. All very predictable, but the complete opposite of the truth. Even George IVIonbiot, writing in yesterday's Guardian, made the mistake of singly blaming Obama. But I saw Obama fighting desperately to salvage a deal, and the Chinese delegate saying "no", over and over again. Monbiot even approvingly quoted the Sudanese delegate Lumumba Di-Aping, who denounced the Copenhagen accord as "a suicide pact, an incineration pact, in order to maintain the economic dominance of a few countries". Sudan behaves at the talks as a puppet of China; one of a number of countries that relieves the Chinese delegation of having to fight its battles in open sessions. It was a perfect stitch-up. China gutted the deal behind the scenes, and then left its proxies to savage it in public. Here's what actually went on late last Friday night, as heads of state from two dozen countries met behind closed doors. Obama was at the table for several hours, sitting between Gordon Brown and the Ethiopian prime minister, Males Zenawi. The Danish prime minister chaired, and on his right sat Ban Ki-moon, secretary-general of the UN. Probably only about 50 or 60 people, including the heads of state, were in the room. I was attached to one of the delegations, whose head of state was also present for most of the time. What I saw was profoundly shocking. The Chinese premier, Wen Jinbao, did not deign to attend the meetings personally, instead sending a second-tier official in the country's foreign ministry to sit opposite Obama himself. The diplomatic snub UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766567 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766567 Date: 08/31/2015 was obvious and brutal, as was the practical implication: several times during the session, the world's most powerful heads of state were forced to wait around as the Chinese delegate went off to make telephone calls to his "superiors". Shifting the blame To those who would blame Obama and rich countries in general, know this: it was China's representative who insisted that industrialised country targets, previously agreed as an 80% cut by 2050, be taken out of the deal. "Why can't we even mention our own targets?" demanded a furious Angela Merkel. Australia's prime minister, Kevin Rudd, was annoyed enough to bang his microphone. Brazil's representative too pointed out the illogicality of China's position. Why should rich countries not announce even this unilateral cut? The Chinese delegate said no, and I watched, aghast, as Merkel threw up her hands in despair and conceded the point. Now we know why — because China bet, correctly, that Obama would get the blame for the Copenhagen accord's lack of ambition. China, backed at times by India, then proceeded to take out all the numbers that mattered. A 2020 peaking year in global emissions, essential to restrain temperatures to 2C, was removed and replaced by woolly language suggesting that emissions should peak "as soon as possible". The long-term target, of global 50% cuts by 2050, was also excised. No one else, perhaps with the exceptions of India and Saudi Arabia, wanted this to happen. I am certain that had the Chinese not been in the room, we would have left Copenhagen with a deal that had environmentalists popping champagne corks popping in every corner of the world. Strong position So how did China manage to pull off this coup? First, it was in an extremely strong negotiating position. China didn't need a deal. As one developing country foreign minister said to me: "The Athenians had nothing to offer to the Spartans." On the other hand, western leaders in particular — but also presidents Lula of Brazil, Zuma of South Africa, Calderon of Mexico and many others — were desperate for a positive outcome. Obama needed a strong deal perhaps more than anyone. The US had confirmed the offer of $100bn to developing countries for adaptation, put serious cuts on the table for the first time (17% below 2005 levels by 2020), and was obviously prepared to up its offer. Above all, Obama needed to be able to demonstrate to the Senate that he could deliver China in any global climate regulation framework, so conservative senators could not argue that US carbon cuts would further advantage Chinese industry. With midterm elections looming, Obama and his staff also knew that Copenhagen would be probably their only opportunity to go to cjinT3t?j..chanQE-3. talks with a strong mandate. This further strengthened China's negotiating hand, as did the complete lack of civil society political pressure on either China or India. Campaign groups never blame developing countries for failure; this is an iron rule that is never broken. The Indians, in particular. have become past masters at caopting the language of equity ("equal rights to the atmosphere") in the service of planetary suicide — and leftish campaigners and commentators are hoist with their own petard. With the deal gutted, the heads of state session concluded with a final battle as the Chinese delegate insisted on removing the 1.5C target so beloved of the small island states and low-lying nations who have most to lose from rising seas. President Nasheed of the Maldives, supported by Brown, fought valiantly to save this crucial number. "How can you ask my country to go extinct?" demanded Nasheed. The Chinese delegate feigned great offence — and the number stayed, but surrounded by language which makes it all but meaningless. The deed was done. China's game All this raises the question: what is China's game? Why did China, in the words of a UK-based analyst who also spent hours in heads of state meetings, "not only reject targets for itself, but also refuse to allow any other country to take on binding targets?" The analyst, who has attended climate conferences for more than 15 years, concludes that China wants to weaken the climate regulation regime now "in order to avoid the risk that it might be called on to be more ambitious in a few years' time". This does not mean China is not serious about global warming. It is strong in both the wind and solar industries. But China's growth, and growing global political and economic dominance, is based largely on cheap coal. China knows it is becoming an uncontested superpower; indeed its newfound muscular confidence was on striking display in Copenhagen. Its coal-based economy doubles every decade, and its power increases commensurately. Its leadership will not alter this magic formula unless they absolutely have to. Copenhagen was much worse than just another bad deal, because it illustrated a profound shift in global geopolitics. This is fast becoming China's century, yet its leadership has displayed that multilateral environmental governance is not only not a priority, but is viewed as a hindrance to the new superpower's freedom of action. I left Copenhagen more despondent than I have felt in a long time. After all the hope and all the hype, the mobilisation of thousands, a wave of optimism crashed against the rock of global power politics, fell back, and drained away.

Senator Reid's staff and Senator Lautenberg would like the letter below sent to his office today. Upon receipt of the letter, we are told Senator Lautenberg will lift his hold on the GSP and ATPDA trade legislation. I know the Secretary would prefer to wait until there is a final decision in Brazil, but it is still unclear when that decision will come (may not even be today) and we have drafted the letter so that it still makes sense regardless of how and when the court rules. Thanks, and I'm at my desk if she wants to discuss it further. Rich Dear Senator Lautenberg, I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you this past weekend regarding the custody case of Sean Goldman, the young American boy wrongfully detained in Brazil for more than five years. As we discussed, the Administration has long maintained that Sean should be reunited with his father David in New Jersey. I have made a point of emphasizing this position with Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim during our many conversations, as have other U.S. Officials with their Brazilian counterparts. We have worked closely with the Government of Brazil to ensure it upholds its obligations under the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction. We were quite concerned by last week's decision suspending the order reuniting Sean with his father. We were encouraged, however, by the appeal filed last Friday by the Brazilian Solicitor General which challenges this suspension. Like you, we are eager to learn of the outcome of this appeal. We understand a decision could be announced shortly. You can be assured that we will continue advocating for the reunification of Sean and his father and pressing the Government of Brazil to ensure swift consideration of the Goldman case so that this long legal process may reach a final conclusion without further delay. In the meantime, please be assured that the State Department as well as the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia has been and will continue to be a resource to the Goldman family during this trying time.

Upon receipt of the letter, we are told Senator Lautenberg will lift his hold on the GSP and ATPDA trade legislation. I know the Secretary would prefer to wait until there is a final decision in Brazil, but it is still unclear when that decision will come (may not even be today) and we have drafted the letter so that it still makes sense regardless of how and when the court rules. Thanks, and I'm at my desk if she wants to discuss it further. Rich Dear Senator Lautenberg, I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you this past weekend regarding the custody case of Sean Goldman, the young American boy wrongfully detained in Brazil for more than five years. As we discussed, the Administration has long maintained that Sean should be reunited with his father David in New Jersey. I have made a point of emphasizing this position with Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim during our many conversations, as have other U.S. Officials with their Brazilian counterparts. We have worked closely with the Government of Brazil to ensure it upholds its obligations under the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction. We were quite concerned by last week's decision suspending the order reuniting Sean with his father. We were encouraged, however, by the appeal filed last Friday by the Brazilian Solicitor General which challenges this suspension. Like you, we are eager to learn of the outcome of this appeal. We understand a decision could be announced shortly. You can be assured that we will continue advocating for the reunification of Sean and his father and pressing the Government of Brazil to ensure swift consideration of the Goldman case so that this long legal process may reach a final conclusion without further delay. In the meantime, please be assured that the State Department as well as the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia has been and will continue to be a resource to the Goldman family during this trying time.

I can tell you this morning the Secretary departed Washington and she stopped at the North Pole for an important bilateral meeting with a well known international figure. During the meeting, in a formal demarche, sung to the tune of Twelve Days of Christmas, the Secretary outlined her aspirations for the new year. They include, and feel free to hum along: open and accountable governments, Middle East negotiations, more civilians in Afghanistan, empowerment of women, fewer nuclear weapons, respect for human rights, resolution of historic grievances, treaties through the United States Senate, Six-Party Talks, dialogue with Iran, enough food for people of the world to eat, climate change legislation, and lastly, a championship for the Boston Red Sox. Okay, that last one's not on her list, but Harold Koh and I thought it was important that we mention that here." It is a privilege to be a part of your team.

How to Friday: How to build a crisis reporting system Developers, technologists and volunteers around the world came together to build a crisis reporting for Haiti. Here's how they did it • Comments (1) • Buzz up! Digg it The Ushahidi crowdsourced crisis reporting in Haiti Technologists around the world came together and rapidly built a system for Haitians to request help in the wake of devastating earthquake. Using the internet to organise themselves, developers, communications experts and humanitarian organisations created a system to gather emergency requests using text messages that won praise from emergency officials and support from the US State Department. Hours after the quake, Josh Nesbit, who heads up a non-profit using mobile phones to help deliver medical care in Africa, heads sent this tweet: Reaching out to ©FrontlineSMS users in #Haiti with hopes of establishing local SMS gateway for http://haiti.ushahidi.com UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766604 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766604 Date: 08/31/2015 Ushahidi is a crowd-sourced crisis reporting platform that was developed in Kenya to gather reports of violence in the post-election unrest in 2008. Ushahidi, which means "testimony" in Swahili, has been used to gatherreports about the swine flu outbreak, monitor elections in India and Mexico and to collect crime reports in Atlanta. The platform can handle reports from a number of sources, via email, the web or via SMS, making it flexible and very useful even in areas without intemet access. Ushahidi worked with teams in Kenya, Uganda and teams in Boston and Washington DC in the United States. Using Twitter, Josh got in contact with Jean-Marc Castera who was heading to the DigiCel command center, according to Erik Hersman at Ushahidi. Working with the US State Department they were able to get the 4636 SMS shortcode that had been used for weather information in Haiti. They launched the SMS-based emergency information system with the support of the Thomson Reuters Foundation and technology disaster relief organisation inSTEDD five da s after the suake. Ten radio stations still operating in Haiti helped spread the word about the emergency shortcode. They also quickly put up posters, and the US Department of State helped publicise it, announcing it via their official Twitter account and elsewhere. They worked with 10,000 Haitian volunteers to help translate the messages and other volunteers helped to structure "mountains of data" coming into the system, Hersman wrote. The volunteers of Mission 4636 posted this on the Ushahidi blog: We are the volunteer translators of Mission 4636. We span six time zones and seven languages on any given night. We are students, medics, stay at home mothers, archivists, firefighters, and software developers. We are the quiet force behind Ushahidi Haiti & we give a voice to the lost. San Francisco startups, Crowdflower and Samasource, which specialise in managing tasks for crowdsourcing, helped organise the volunteer efforts, according to Kim-Mai Cutler at VentureBeat. She also reported that Katie Stanton, an early Google employee who now works in the Office of Innovation at the State Department, "helped get emergency responders from the U.S. Coast Guard and Red Cross involved". Since is started, Ushahidi has received nearly 100,000 reports concerning Haiti, and organisers are working to create a system, Swift River, to help filter those reports so that the most urgent ones get attention quickly. One thing that is impressive about this effort is how distributed, collaborated and organised it is, and they have blogged about how theykept this volunteer project focused. CrisisCamps to help with these projects sprung up in cities around the world, including here in London. A decade of crowdsourced crisis projects Developers also created an application to help collect information on missing people in Haiti. After creating several applications, they came to a decision to focus their efforts on a single app hosted at Google. The Haiti Earthquake people finding application is actually the evolution of similar projects that started appearing after the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US and rapidly developed after the Asian Tsunami in late 2004, Hurricane Katrina PeopleFinder project in 2005, the and the earthquake in Kashmir in 2005. The projects gave rise to an XML format called the People Finder Interchange Format. Every time a disaster like this happens, the response has gotten more sophisticated and better organised. The response in Haiti by this volunteer army has been deeply impressive, and they have built up the expertise so that when the next disaster happens, they'll have new tools to help speed aid to victims in need.

The four talked privately for several hours and then asked for the draft papers to review. The discussion continued until around 1 am when the parties left Hillsborough. (Foster's presence is apparently very helpful. Her relationship with the SF leaders is much more positive and direct, treating them as equal colleagues.) Woodward and Irish FM Martin will meet with Adams and Robinson separately this afternoon to assess where the talks are. The talks last night/early morning ended more positively and if that is still the case there may be a decision to push on today to see if agreement can be reached. It is equally possible that the two ministers and DUP/SF will decide to wind up today and resume on Monday. Brown and Cowen have spoken this morning and will speak again late this afternoon. The issue is still parades. Robinson needs some certainity of change on parades. It is important for him politically within the DUP, but also externally since this has become a symbol of whether he has achieved something or compromised too much. Adams and SF have moved very far from their original positions on parades, adding that Robinson has also moved. The DUP linkage of the timeframes for devolution and parades is not Robinson's goal but DUP deputy party leader Nigal Dodds. Logistically, such a linkage would be impossible without delaying devolution given that the parades framework requires consultation, legislation, and implementation. The role of Justice Minister and his/her relationship to the Executive has been agreed. Other issues, such as Irish language act, N-S bodies, etc, while symbolic and emotive for SF and the nationalists community can be dealt with.

He is evidently interpreting the lifting of the stay imposed at STF to mean that the 48 hour period provided in the appellate court decision to the Brazilian family to turn over Sean to the Consulate has started ticking again — not restarted at the beginning, but resumed ticking. According to the Court, the deadline for turnover at the Consulate falls at 6am local time on Thursday morning, December 24. Because of the early hour, he will evidently order the family to turn over Sean at the consulate NO LATER than 9am on Thursday, December 24. However, he will also recommend, not order, that the family turn over Sean at the Consulate today/tonight in order to permit him to travel to the U.S. on an overnight flight and spend Christmas with the family in the U.S. There is current debate ongoing regarding the timing of the turnover. Daniel Levy of the AGU office in Rio will evidently take the lead in negotiating that turnover, in conjunction with David's legal team. Press contacts are stating that Sergio Tostes, the attorney for the Brazilian family, has called a press conference at 2pm local time (11am DC time) to announce voluntary turnover. No further details oh that yet. Will pass more information as soon as we have it. Planning for all contingencies. BACKGROUND o Brazilian Central Authority reports that at lam local time today, the attorney for the Brazilian family contacted Daniel Levy, the AGU attorney representing the Brazilian Govt in this case, to inform him that the Brazilian family is willing to arrange for voluntary turnover of Sean at the Consulate General in Rio. Daniel Levy reportedly replied that he would only facilitate these discussions on the condition that there were no further legal UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766618 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766618 Date: 08/31/2015 machinations to delay implementation of the court order, and that the turnover happened today. We do not/not know what if any conditions the family will try to place on a voluntary handover, so planning for police execution of the court order continues. • Interpol office in Brasilia has assured BCA and the Embassy LEGAT that they are fully aware of the status of the case and are ready to provide support if Sean is not turned over. They will have action if the family attempts to hide Sean. • We have contacted WHA Press and CA Press separately to discuss timing to release statements if/when we are successful with wheels up. • We have discussed detailed contingency plans should the police be called upon to go to the family residence to enforce the order if voluntary handover does not occur. Also have plans in place to supplement personnel in Rio should this extend past today. • We have a general sense of the timing of potential events: We expect to have more clarity from the attorneys as to whether or not voluntary handover will occur around noon/1pm local time, which is 9/10 DC time. Should police enforcement be required, that will likely mean mid/late afternoon local time. We will advise asap if this timeline shifts (as it is likely to do, this being Brazil.) Background Report from Tuesday evening / last nite PART I • Tomorrow morning between 8-9, David Goldman's Brazilian attorney will go to the court to obtain the warrant enforcing the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S. He will wait there pending coordination with relevant police and judicial authorities to ensure that everything is ready, and they will depart for the family compound to take custody of Sean. • Consulate General Rio will have cars ready at 9am for transport, and the team will be ready at the airport to facilitate departure. • David's attorney has spoken to judicial authorities and believes that the motions filed at ST1 will not be accepted by the court, so will not interfere with the return. This does not preclude some last minute legal maneuvers, but he seems confident that the decision by STF will effectively cut off other avenues. We will advise asap if this changes. PART II • The Brazilian Central Authority confirms that the office of Regional Federal Court President Paulo Espirito Santo has received the decision of STF President Gilmar Mendes. It is Paulo E-S who will be responsible for enforcing the decision from Mendes, i.e. the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S. • BCA has promised to reinforce for Interpol the urgent necessity of police in Rio monitoring the location of Sean Goldman. Embassy LEGAT office is double-tracking. We cannot, of course, ask them to enforce anything until the proper judicial authority has sent them instructions, but we strongly urge them to be prepared. • BCA has turned over operational jurisdiction to Daniel Levy, from the AGU's office in Rio, to coordinate with David Goldman's attorney and with the court in Rio. I have asked David's attorney to try and get some understanding from Mr. Levy as to the timeline we can expect to see in this case. What remains unclear: • We do not know if the judge from the Regional Federal Court intends to issue an execution order from his home tonight at this late hour, or if he will wait until opening of business tomorrow morning. Note that 00B here generally means 10am for a court. This only underscores the need to ensure that there is sufficient monitoring of Sean's whereabouts. • We do not know how Judge Paulo E-S will interpret an "immediate" return order — it could mean right this instant, or it could mean some brief period of time where the family is ordered/encouraged to turn Sean over at the Consulate or some other site.

They are currently under arrest at a PAP police station or, according to one report, at "the Justice Building near the airport." The whereabouts of the children is unknown. The group is called the New Life Children Refuge America Organization (NLCR). Bill Bistransky found the attached "Plan of Action"(P0A) on their web site when he googled that name.

Prime Minister Max Bellerive also tells The Associated Press his country is open to having the Americans tried in the United States. Bellerive says some of the children have parents who are alive. The government is attempting to locate them. He says a judicial system needs to determine whether the Americans were acting in good faith, as they claim, or are child traffickers. The Americans are mostly from Idaho. They have been held since being arrested January 29 trying to enter the Dominican Republic with the children.

This does not preclude some last minute legal maneuvers, but he seems confident that the decision by STF will effectively cut off other avenues. We will advise asap if this changes.

It is Paulo E-S who will be responsible for enforcing the decision from Mendes, i.e. the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S. • BCA has promised to reinforce for Interpol the urgent necessity of police in Rio monitoring the location of Sean Goldman. Embassy LEGAT office is double-tracking. We cannot, of course, ask them to enforce anything until the proper judicial authority has sent them instructions, but we strongly urge them to be prepared. BCA has turned over operational jurisdiction to Daniel Levy, from the AGU's office in Rio, to coordinate with David Goldman's attorney and with the court in Rio. I have asked David's attorney to try and get some understanding from Mr. Levy as to the timeline we can expect to see in this case. • What remains unclear: • • • • We do not know if the judge from the Regional Federal Court intends to issue an execution order from his home tonight at this late hour, or if he will wait until opening of business tomorrow morning. Note that 00B here generally means 10am for a court. This only underscores the need to ensure that there is sufficient monitoring of Sean's whereabouts. We do not know how Judge Paulo E-S will interpret an "immediate" return order — it could mean right this instant, or it could mean some brief period of time where the family is ordered/encouraged to turn Sean over at the Consulate or some other site. We are working to obtain some sense of whether this is likely to happen tonight, or if we are better served getting some rest now and starting first thing 008 which for us means 7-8am. We have not had confirmation regarding the resolution of the motions in STJ, but frankly, I don't foresee receiving an answer on that before mid-day Wednesday.

Brazilian Central Authority (BCA) coordinating with David's attorney and the Federal attorneys in Rio to ensure that the President of the Regional Federal Court in Rio has a copy of the STF order and is submitting the official request to federal police to enforce.

A scheduled 1100 EST press conference by the attorney for the Brazilian family did not take place. Damour reports the attorneys from both sides are still negotiating the details of the handover, as is the attorney for the Government of Brasil. According to the 2nd Regional Federal Court, the deadline for the turnover at the Consulate falls at 0600 local on 12/24. However, there may be a push to turn Sean over to the consulate today in order to permit him to travel to the U.S. on an overnight flight. Damour will continue to update as events progress. -PhiII From: Macris, Gregory P Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 7:21 AM To: SES_DutyDeputies; S_SpecialAssistants Cc: SES-O_SWO-Only; SES-O_Shift-11; SES-O_Shift-1; Bitter, Rena; Sullivan, Stephanie S Subject: Latest on Goldman Decision Dan, I just got off the phone with Embassy Brasilia Charge Lisa Kubiske, who provided a recap of current developments in the Goldman child custody case. Summarizing: -- David Goldman's Brazilian lawyer and the family's attorney are currently attempting to negotiate an "voluntary return." --If those talks fail, Goldman will request the Brazilian police execute the involuntary return ordered yesterday by a Brazilian judge. This outcome would create a negative PR climate. --Brazilian police "think" they know the boy's whereabouts. --Return to US likely will occur on an NBC News-chartered aircraft, as Goldman has inked some sort of exclusive deal w/ NBC for the story.

This does not preclude some last minute legal maneuvers, but he seems confident that the decision by STF will effectively cut off other avenues. We will advise asap if this changes. Blackberry service does appear to be down, so if there are any questions tonight, please contact me directly on my cell as I am getting offline in approximately five mins. We are 3 hours ahead of DC time at the at moment, but please do not hesitate to call.

The Brazilian Central Authority confirms that the office of Regional Federal Court President Paulo Espirito Santo • has received the decision of STF President Gilmar Mendes. It is Paulo E-S who will be responsible for enforcing the decision from Mendes, i.e. the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S. BCA has promised to reinforce for Interpol the urgent necessity of police in Rio monitoring the location of Sean Goldman. Embassy LEGAT office is double-tracking. We cannot, of course, ask them to enforce anything until the proper judicial authority has sent them instructions, but we strongly urge them to be prepared. BCA has turned over operational jurisdiction to Daniel Levy, from the AGU's office in Rio, to coordinate with David Goldman's attorney and with the court in Rio. I have asked David's attorney to try and get some understanding from Mr. Levy as to the timeline we can expect to see in this case. What remains unclear: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766654 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766654 Date: 08/31/2015 We do not know if the judge from the Regional Federal Court intends to issue an execution order from his home tonight at this late hour, or if he will wait until opening of business tomorrow morning. Note that 00B here generally means 10am for a court. This only underscores the need to ensure that there is sufficient monitoring of Sean's whereabouts. We do not know how Judge Paulo E-S will interpret an "immediate" return order — it could mean right this instant, or it could mean some brief period of time where the family is ordered/encouraged to turn Sean over at the Consulate or some other site. • We are working to obtain some sense of whether this is likely to happen tonight, or if we are better served getting some rest now and starting first thing 00B which for us means 7-8am. • We have not had confirmation regarding the resolution of the motions in STJ, but frankly, I don't foresee receiving an answer on that before mid-day Wednesday.

This means that in most cases, I will not be able to confirm the information. Will try to identify credible sources vice what rumor/press/others are saying. Brazilian Central Authority (BCA) coordinating with David's attorney and the Federal attorneys in Rio to ensure that the President of the Regional Federal Court in Rio has a copy of the STF order and is submitting the official request to federal police to enforce. BCA says they still believe they can effect the turnover tonight and are at their office working to that end. If/when the Federal Police enforce, their stated preference is to go to the airport and effect the handover there. This is a scenario we've planned for. BCA has mentioned the STJ motions filed by the Brazilian family as a potential obstacle, but thru their contacts in Mendes' office at STF, have heard that Mendes intends to reach out to the reporting judge at STJ to resolve that issue. As mentioned in an earlier update today, we have not had any confirmation that the STJ judge has accepted to hear the motions filed by the Brazilian family, and has the option to decline to hear them.

Federal Police repeatedly assured us they were prepped and ready to move but could take no action absent an order. They know now there is one, so BCA will get them moving.

Gilmar Mendes upheld the motion by the AGU and David's attorney requesting he overturn the stay imposed by Justice Marco Aurelio, based upon a motion filed by the maternal grandmother. The order at first read appears to require immediate return of Sean. The BCA is calling the Interpol director responsible for enforcing such actions to see if they will get set to move. HOWEVER, BCA does not/not yet have a copy of the order, and it is the judge in the lower court in Rio that would generally receive the order from STF and then contact DPF to enforce. Sergio Brito, the prosecutor who has assisted David's attorney on the Hague case is attempting to contact the judge in the court of first instance in an effort to move as quickly as possible. Note that the court of first instance is on recess and the "duty court" judge will need to take action, but magistrates in Rio are keenly aware of the status of the case and may be prepared to move this evening. BCA is hoping to effect handover tonight, and will plan to send their psychologist to Rio if the handover must happen tomorrow morning. What we don't know: No details yet on what else is contained in the order, which is likely to affect the next steps taken by the Brazilian family. No details as yet on what, if anything the Brazilian family has done in response to the news from STF. Embassy staff are in the room with David's Brazilian attorney and will report just as soon as we have any details to offer. Please advise me if you have any specific questions we need to pose to the team.

I will spend next week reviewing the recent IG report of my bureau. Gave us good marks on the technical side of what we do, but there is definitely work to be done on our organizational structure, some leadership issues in specific offices and how we interact and communicate across our various functions. On the planning side, thanks to the 2010 look ahead memos that the bureaus prepared for you, we will be more effective in creating media and outreach opportunities because our focus will be not just on this week, but looking ahead to the month and quarter as well. We have been briefing-centric in the past. We will be creating more channels to communicate our messages. I know Judith spoke with you on Monday about greater emphasis on international media. We will be restructuring part of my operation to be able to do that. Going through these issues, I'll either be well-rested or exhausted, but I am looking forward to 2010.

I can tell you this morning the Secretary departed Washington and she stopped at the North Pole for an important bilateral meeting with a well known international figure. During the meeting, in a formal demarche, sung to the tune of Twelve Days of Christmas, the Secretary outlined her aspirations for the new year. They include, and feel free to hum along: open and accountable governments, Middle East negotiations, more civilians in Afghanistan, empowerment of women, fewer nuclear weapons, respect for human rights, resolution of historic grievances, treaties through the United States Senate, Six-Party Talks, dialogue with Iran, enough food for people of the world to eat, climate change legislation, and lastly, a championship for the Boston Red Sox.

We are scheduled to leave on Saturday, December 26, but without a visa he of course cannot go and I will not go without him. My visa has been issued by Travisa Outsourcing, the company to which the Government of India has outsourced all visa processing. However, despite the fact that Travisa does all of India's visa processing, and ordinarily does it on a same-day basis, their office here in Washington, DC (located in Georgetown) refused to process my son's visa application because he is a California resident and they are organized so that their various offices (New York, Washington, San Francisco, Chicago, and Houston) issue visas only for residents of the immediate vicinity of the particular office. Thus, for example, the Washington office issues visas for residents of Delaware, Washington, DC, Maryland, West Virginia, and the like, but will not process visas for residents beyond this area. The New York office, likewise, processes visas only for residents of New York, New Jersey, CT, and the like, but not Washington. My son of course has a valid US passport, but the visa requirements also require proof of residence, and because his driver's license is a California license (because that is his residence), Travisa Outsourcing said they could not process his visa application. They insisted that he have proof of DC residence, even though he is my son and I am a DC resident. (If he were my minor child, or my spouse, they would have let him travel with me, but he is 30 years old and so they insist on evaluating his residency documents independently of mine even though we are traveling together.) We went to the DC Motor Vehicle Department after leaving Travisa Outsourcing to see whether he could get a nondriver's photo ID issued by the District but that could only be done if he relinquished his California driver's license, which of course he was not prepared to do. (Even to find that out, we had to first go to the Social Security Administration to get proof of his SSN, which of course he has in California but not with him, and then we went back to the DMV only to learn that a non-driver's ID here was not a realistic option.) We then went to the Embassy of India, at 2536 Mass. Ave., NW, which is the part of the embassy that deals with passports and consular affairs. They do not handle visas, of course, because that has been outsourced to Travisa. Nonetheless, I had hoped that we might get someone at the Embassy to agree to issue his visa here in Washington. Although two polite gentlemen did speak to us, they insisted that his visa could be issued only in San Francisco. Given the imminence of the Christmas holidays and the impossibility of doing this either in person (he is already in Washington for Christmas and thus he cannot get back to California to get his visa issued there and still get back to Washington for the holiday and our departure from Washington on Saturday, Decemberr 26th) or by FedEx because of holiday closings, we have no choice but to cancel our trip to India. This is a trip we planned together and I will not go without him, and the holidays mean that we cannot realistically rearrange his flights to follow mine because, by the time he had a visa, the trip would be half over. I am not sure what can be done as I recognize that the decision is up to the Government of India but, as I mentioned, I thought it was worth asking whether there was any way in which you might assist us. Should that prove possible, his pertinent information (the information required by Travisa) is: Type of visa requested - tourist Purpose of trip - vacation Places to be visited - Delhi, Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Agra He has never been to India before and is not traveling on behalf of any company, nor is he holding a valid "no objection to return to India" endorsement (a question asked on Travisa's form) UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766690 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766690 Date: 08/31/2015 His reference in India is our travel agent, reference in the US is India His Huma, I do realize that there may be nothing that can be done, but I very much appreciate your sending this along to the appropriate people who might be able to evaluate the situation.

By Robert Muggah and Robert Maguire January 31, 2010 Haiti will need big ideas to recover and rebuild in the aftermath of the devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake this month. The reported death toll has topped 150,000, and the reconstruction needs are incalculable. How about starting with a 700,000-strong national civic service corps made up of Haitian youth? There are many reasons why such an entity makes a lot of sense. Haiti is a young country. An estimated 70% of the population is under 30; the 15-to-29 segment alone makes up 50% of the population. Demographers have long cautioned how excessively youthful populations can potentially exacerbate underdevelopment and accentuate political instability. Although Haiti registers among the lowest levels of education in the Western Hemisphere, Haitian youth are a wellspring of creativity, talent and potential. You don't need to be a community-development specialist to know that they are stifled by a lack of meaningful opportunities. Fortunately, Haiti has an enabling environment to set up a civic service corps. Article 52 of the Haitian Constitution commits citizens to national service, though it has never been activated. What is more, there are many Haitian and international organizations mobilized and ready to help the government get this going. A civic service corps would get the young and able out of the tent cities in and around Port-au-Prince and into work. They could start with the once-iconic center of the capital, but also could begin planting trees, working the fields and providing services in Haiti's countryside. At a minimum, this would reverse generations of unfair stigmatizing of the youth there. This plan would also harness untapped labor rapidly. Before the Jan. 12 earthquake, 50% of youth in their 20s were out of work. Putting them in service toward rebuilding the capital and outlying areas would be a first step to restoring their and their country's pride and dignity. A civic service corps would also multiply international efforts to promote recovery after the world moves on to the next crisis. Hundreds of humanitarian agencies, donor governments and nongovernmental organizations are facing monumental challenges in coordinating relief assistance. Although everyone involved is committed to rapid disbursement, transaction costs are monumental. A civic service corps would allow for a more rapid form of transferring capital. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766739 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766739 Date: 08/31/2015 Direct support to such a corps would inject serious liquidity into the Haitian economy and stimulate recovery from the bottom up. Rather than food-for-work schemes, international best practice recommends proposals that promote direct monetary transfers to beneficiaries. Haitian youth and their families have urgent needs and don't need paternalistic programs that curb their choices. With proper oversight and financial safeguards, a civic service corps would circumvent unnecessary administrative costs. Further, a civic service corps would restore national pride and confidence in Haitian public institutions. During past decades, the state provided relatively few services to Haitians, particularly outside the capital. In some cases, state entities were downright predatory. As a result, nonstate providers, including gangs and shady middlemen, filled the gap. A civic service corps -- wearing the Haitian colors and acting as first responders or organizations demonstrating the government's presence on the ground -- would show that the government is serious about supporting citizens. It would be a symbolic first step toward renewing the social contract with the people. A civic service corps also makes sense for long-term risk and emergency planning. Haiti is situated in the path of hurricanes and on a fault line, and can expect more disasters. Training 700,000 young people -- especially young women -- in the basics of first aid, emergency response, community policing and other skills would greatly mitigate the consequences of future calamities. With disciplined training and management, the corps could provide more intensive training in specialized areas -- engineering, telecommunications and public health. An initial step to getting Haiti's youth to work could include the preparation of a road map for future meetings on Haiti, including the U.N. donor conference scheduled for March. Any final plan would need to draw on the invaluable experiences of ongoing efforts to mobilize youth in Haiti. These include the work of the Brazilian nongovernmental organization Viva Rio and its supporters. Before the earthquake, Viva Rio and Brazilian peacekeepers had recruited and trained hundreds of Haitian youth, including former gang members, to provide relief services in Haiti's slums. This program could be reactivated and scaled up quickly. A civic service corps could draw on the lessons from such groups to target and recruit youths for, say, up to two years. The Haitian government would, of course, need to be the one to manage the undertaking, with direct oversight from the president's office and the Interior Ministry. And there are many countries that could provide advice and support. Nongovernmental groups and private donors could also play a key role in mobilizing support and transferring essential skills. Haiti's youth are the future of the nation, and they are central to Haiti's recovery. A civic service corps is a large-scale way to quickly mobilize them to act as catalyst for long-term, progressive changes.

You will see that in spite of our efforts to protect the son, the Brazilian family chose to make a spectacle outside the Consulate this morning by parading Sean through a crowd. Ms. Lamego recently visited the U.S. where she met with members of Congress and others to explain all that the Brazilian Central Authority was doing to reunite Sean and his father under the Hague Convention. The delays we saw in this case were largely the result of a wealthy, well connected family able to influence court decisions. We are all relieved and thrilled to see this long overdue but very happy ending. I should also highlight the amazing work done by US Mission Brazil. The consular staff, Charge, Acting DCM (Marie Damour, the Consul General in Brasilia), LegATT, RSO, and a host of others all played a role in this successful return. My OCS DAS, Michele Bond, and her dedicated team also played a big role in communicating with David, his lawyers, Congress, and the press. We had Members of Congress, former Assistant Secretaries and US Ambassadors all pitching in. While there were disagreements at times over tactics, we all agreed that we were working towards the same goal: the safe return of Sean. We particularly appreciate the strong support from the Secretary. Many people will try to take credit for today's happy reunion but it was the Secretary's continued concern and interest in this case that made the difference. We could not have provided a better gift to David Goldman during this season of giving.

I'm sorry this had to happen but it seems that Mr. Sergio Tostes, the matemal family's attorney, did not feel at all embarrased to use and expose the child, who was probably under severe stress, in order to gather support for his position. This most despicable man is not accepting the fact that, despite his life long relationships with influential authorities in Brazil, he was unable to win the case and Sean is finally being reunited with his only real father. (just hope that David and the Goldman family find enough time to recover their lives and their relationship with Sean. They need time more than anything else and now it is up to the US government to guarantee that David Goldman will not have to face the maternal family once again in the US courts where, according to Mr. Tostes last declaration to the Brazilian press, he will "fight to defend the child". Please allow David Goldman to live in peace with his son and have the life that he deserves after fighting so much for so many years. In my name and in the name of all the staff of the Brazilian Central Authority I wish David, Sean, and their family all the best and a most happy life once they are finally back in the United States. And to all of you who worked so much in support of this case, our deepest gratitude. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Best regards, Patricia Lamego T.

According to David's Brazilian attorney, the negotiators have broken up, having not been able to agree on the issue of the Grandmother accompanying Sean to the U.S. on the plane (clearly, the other side remains unaware of the source/nature of the charter flight that is pending a handover). We have rebuffed attempts by the Brazilian family's attorney to "get clarification from the Americans" as an obvious last-ditch ploy to once again present this as a U.S. vs Brazil issue. We have been clear to all parties that we the Mission have absolutely no role in any negotiation between the parties and will not/not undertake any contact with the family or their representatives. Deadline for handover established by the President of the 2nd Regional Federal Court in Rio remains 9am Thursday morning at the U.S. Consulate.

However, David's attorney believes they will comply with the order and appear at the Consulate. We stand ready for multiple scenarios. • In good news, the Brazilian Central Authority reported that the judge assigned to hear the two motions filed by attorneys for the Brazilian family in the Superior Tribunal de Justica (STJ) has denied both motions on the merits, not just refused to consider the motions. Links to the decisions for those who wish to read legal Portuguese are provided below. • The frequently-announced press conference by the Brazilian family/their attorney never materialized.

He is evidently interpreting the lifting of the stay imposed at STF to mean that the 48 hour period provided in the appellate court decision to the Brazilian family to turn over Sean to the Consulate has started ticking again — not restarted at the beginning, but resumed ticking. According to the Court, the deadline for turnover at the Consulate falls at 6am local time on Thursday morning, December 24. Because of the early hour, he will evidently order the family to turn over Sean at the consulate NO LATER than 9am on Thursday, December 24. However, he will also recommend, not order, that the family turn over Sean at the Consulate today/tonight in order to permit him to travel to the U.S. on an overnight flight and spend Christmas with the family in the U.S. There is current debate ongoing regarding the timing of the turnover. Daniel Levy of the AGU office in Rio will evidently take the lead in negotiating that turnover, in conjunction with David's legal team. Press contacts are stating that Sergio Tostes, the attorney for the Brazilian family, has called a press conference at 2pm local time (11am DC time) to announce voluntary turnover.

Daniel Levy reportedly replied that he would only facilitate these discussions on the condition that there were no further legal machinations to delay implementation of the court order, and that the turnover happened today. We do not/not know what if any conditions the family will try to place on a voluntary handover, so planning for police execution of the court order continues. o Interpol office in Brasilia has assured BCA and the Embassy LEGAT that they are fully aware of the status of the case and are ready to provide support if Sean is not turned over. They will have action if the family attempts to hide Sean. o We have contacted WHA Press and CA Press separately to discuss timing to release statements if/when we are successful with wheels up. O We have discussed detailed contingency plans should the police be called upon to go to the family residence to enforce the order if voluntary handover does not occur. Also have plans in place to supplement personnel in Rio should this extend past today. O We have a general sense of the timing of potential events: We expect to have more clarity from the attorneys as to whether or not voluntary handover will occur around noon/1pm local time, which is 9/10 DC time. Should police enforcement be required, that will likely mean mid/late afternoon local time. We will advise asap if this timeline shifts (as it is likely to do, this being Brazil.)

BCA has turned over operational jurisdiction to Daniel Levy, from the AGU's office in Rio, to coordinate with David Goldman's attorney and with the court in Rio. I have asked David's attorney to try and get some understanding from Mr. Levy as to the timeline we can expect to see in this case.

If/when the Federal Police enforce, their stated preference is to go to the airport and effect the handover there. This is a scenario we've planned for. BCA has mentioned the STJ motions filed by the Brazilian family as a potential obstacle, but thru their contacts in Mendes' office at STF, have heard that Mendes intends to reach out to the reporting judge at STJ to resolve that issue. As mentioned in an earlier update today, we have not had any confirmation that the STJ judge has accepted to hear the motions filed by the Brazilian family, and has the option to decline to hear them.

Gilmar Mendes upheld the motion by the AGU and David's attorney requesting he overturn the stay imposed by Justice Marco Aurelio, based upon a motion filed by the maternal grandmother. • • The order at first read appears to require immediate return of Sean. The BCA is calling the Interpol director responsible for enforcing such actions to see if they will get set to move. HOWEVER, BCA does not/not yet have a copy of the order, and it is the judge in the lower court in Rio that would generally receive the order from STF and then contact DPF to enforce. Sergio Brito, the prosecutor who has assisted David's attorney on the Hague case is attempting to contact the judge in the court of first instance in an effort to move as quickly as possible. Note that the court of first instance is on recess and the "duty court" judge will need to take action, but magistrates in Rio are keenly aware of the status of the case and may be prepared to move this evening. BCA is hoping to effect handover tonight, and will plan to send their psychologist to Rio if the handover must happen tomorrow morning. • • What we don't know: • No details yet on what else is contained in the order, which is likely to affect the next steps taken by the Brazilian family. • No details as yet on what, if anything the Brazilian family has done in response to the news from STF.

We actually saw this last night, and Vikram and I had a conversation with Richard about it. The report was based on interviews conducted in May-June, before the new policy change was implemented, so much of the report is already OBE. OIG gave us the draft report in October, and SRAP/SCA/INL immediately sent a joint response to OIG (attached), highlighting that we were already working on many of the issues highlighted in the report. Given the change in policy and our letter to them, we found it pretty egregious that the OIG didn't report on the changes underway or adjustments already made, as the report is being portrayed in the press as currently applicable. Michael Keays on the Afghan desk and Peggy, who both help to oversee CN issues, are already working on a letter to OIG expressing our strong concern about the report and the process which got us to this point, and Vikram and his team are ginning up press points which also note that we have already begun to robustly address many of these points (I've cc'ed them all on this).

You will see that in spite of our efforts to protect the son, the Brazilian family chose to make a spectacle outside the Consulate this morning by parading Sean through a crowd. Ms. Lamego recently visited the U.S. where she met with members of Congress and others to explain all that the Brazilian Central Authority was doing to reunite Sean and his father under the Hague Convention. The delays we saw in this case were largely the result of a wealthy, well connected family able to influence court decisions. We are all relieved and thrilled to see this long overdue but very happy ending. I should also highlight the amazing work done by US Mission Brazil. The consular staff, Charge, Acting DCM (Marie Damour, the Consul General in Brasilia), LegATT, RSO, and a host of others all played a role in this successful return. My OCS DAS, Michele Bond, and her dedicated team also played a big role in communicating with David, his lawyers, Congress, and the press. We had Members of Congress, former Assistant Secretaries and US Ambassadors all pitching in. While there were UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766784 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766784 Date: 08/31/2015 disagreements at times over tactics, we all agreed that we were working towards the same goal: the safe return of Sean. We particularly appreciate the strong support from the Secretary. Many people will try to take credit for today's happy reunion but it was the Secretary's continued concern and interest in this case that made the difference. We could not have provided a better gift to David Goldman during this season of giving.

They need time more than anything else and now it is up to the US government to guarantee that David Goldman will not have to face the maternal family once again in the US courts where, according to Mr. Tostes last declaration to the Brazilian press, he will "fight to defend the child". Please allow David Goldman to live in peace with his son and have the life that he deserves after fighting so much for so many years. " In my name and in the name of all the staff of the Brazilian Central Authority I wish David, Sean, and their family all the best and a most happy life once they are finally back in the United States. And to all of you who worked so much in support of this case, our deepest gratitude. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Best regards, Patricia Lamego T.

We actually saw this last night, and Vikram and I had a conversation with Richard about it. The report was based on interviews conducted in May-June, before the new policy change was implemented, so much of the report is already OBE. OIG gave us the draft report in October, and SRAP/SCA/INL immediately sent a joint response to OIG (attached), highlighting that we were already working on many of the issues highlighted in the report. Given the change in policy and our letter to them, we found it pretty egregious that the OIG didn't report on the changes underway or adjustments already made, as the report is being portrayed in the press as currently applicable. Michael Keays on the Afghan desk and Peggy, who both help to oversee CN issues, are already working on a letter to OIG expressing our strong concern about the report and the process which got us to this point, and Vikram and his team are ginning up press points which also note that we have already begun to robustly address many of these points (I've cc'ed them all on this).

You will see that in spite of our efforts to protect the son, the Brazilian family chose to make a spectacle outside the Consulate this morning by parading Sean through a crowd. Ms. Lamego recently visited the U.S. where she met with members of Congress and others to explain all that the Brazilian Central Authority was doing to reunite Sean and his father under the Hague Convention. The delays we saw in this case were largely the result of a wealthy, well connected family able to influence court decisions. We are all relieved and thrilled to see this long overdue but very happy ending. I should also highlight the amazing work done by US Mission Brazil. The consular staff, Charge, Acting DCM (Marie Damour, the Consul General in Brasilia), LegATT, RSO, and a host of others all played a role in this successful return. My OCS DAS, Michele Bond, and her dedicated team also played a big role in communicating with David, his lawyers, Congress, and the press. We had Members of Congress, former Assistant Secretaries and US Ambassadors all pitching in. While there were UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766853 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766853 Date: 08/31/2015 disagreements at times over tactics, we all agreed that we were working towards the same goal: the safe return of Sean. We particularly appreciate the strong support from the Secretary. Many people will try to take credit for today's happy reunion but it was the Secretary's continued concern and interest in this case that made the difference. We could not have provided a better gift to David Goldman during this season of giving.

This most despicable man is not accepting the fact that, despite his life long relationships with influential authorities in Brazil, he was unable to win the case and Sean is finally being reunited with his only real father. I just hope that David and the Goldman family find enough time to recover their lives and their relationship with Sean. They need time more than anything else and now it is up to the US government to guarantee that David Goldman will not have to face the maternal family once again in the US courts where, according to Mr. Tostes last declaration to the Brazilian press, he will "fight to defend the child". Please allow David Goldman to live in peace with his son and have the life that he deserves after fighting so much for so many years. In my name and in the name of all the staff of the Brazilian Central Authority I wish David, Sean, and their family all the best and a most happy life once they are finally back in the United States. And to all of you who worked so much in support of this case, our deepest gratitude. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Best regards, Patricia Lam ego T.

There are not any technological barriers to execution, but as I discussed with Jake, some take us well past the boundaries of what has been allowable to date in our current policy framework. That said, we are ready and willing to take action as soon we have a "go" order. I am happy to review specific content from the memo with you or others offline. Separately, I wanted to share some key activities following up on your Internet Freedom speech, which has reverberated globally. Here is what we are doing to maintain forward momentum: 1) With your blessing, we will build a new architecture of States who share our principles of Internet freedom and are committed to not just espousing those principles, but collaborating in measurably reducing the number of States that countervail the freedoms you outlined in your speech. 2) Jared and I met with Stanford President John Hennessy last week and we will work through Stanford to indirectly launch an innovation competition for the best apps and programs that provide tools for circumvention of politically motivated censorship. '3) Maria Otero and Bob Hormats will co-chair a session in which we are hauling in the major, relevant technology companies.

Please share with Hillary if she hasn't seen it. Best, Irwin As Haiti recovers, give children special attention *By Irwin Redlener* Given the extraordinary destruction wrought by last month's earthquake in Haiti, few will be surprised if this catastrophe is recorded as one of the deadliest natural disasters in recent history. But what is not well appreciated is that this disaster could disproportionately impact children, not only those who perished in the initial shocks, but also those who will not survive what is likely to be a cruel aftermath. *Photo gallery:* As Haiti struggled to pull itself together in the days immediately following the 7.0 earthquake that hit the island nation, one Iowa family was waiting to hear whether the child they had pledged to adopt three years ago was still alive. Before the quake, many of the 380,000 children living in shelters were placed there out of economic desperation; families could not afford to care for them. Now, many more children displaced by the earthquake will literally have no surviving family members, further swelling demand on social service agencies throughout the country. *Kids at risk* As the U.S. and other countries make plans to help Haiti get back on its feet, emphasis should be on enhancing that nation's resiliency — and that will mean dealing with the needs of- its children. The unusual extent of child casualties will be driven by several factors: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766861 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766861 Date: 08/31/2015 • About 50% of the Haitian population of 9 million is younger than 18 . Even more striking is the fact that children 14 years of age and less make up more than 38%. • Everything about a natural disaster puts children at greater risk. A comparatively small chunk of dislodged ceiling would injure an adult, but it might well kill an infant or small child. Water deprivation will lead far more rapidly to dehydration and shock in an infant than it would in an adult. • Some seriously injured children have survived the initial trauma because they were among the few to get surgical attention provided by international medical teams. But access to follow-up care could be an overwhelming challenge. Compounding concerns, the Ministry of Health at one point asked physicians not to provide medical care that can't be sustained in Haiti. *Long-term needs* Between 1 million to 2 million Haitians will be "displaced" for the foreseeable future. This means a minimum of 400,000 to 800,000 children will be in temporary shelter for months or years. But the rainy season is coming in May, followed by hurricane season in June. Families in tents or other flimsy shelters will be at grave risk. • What about the psychological impact? Grieving over loss and trauma carries the potential of long-term consequences for every Haitian, especially the countless children. Then there are Haiti's chronic problems that must be addressed head-on. For decades, Haitians have experienced a seemingly intractable state of poverty, accompanied by malnutrition and high rates of acute and chronic illness. More than 50% of Haitians live on less than a dollar a day, and . more than 60% of its young children have nutritional anemia. Despite the efforts of international agencies and non-governmental organizations, chronic illness abounds and access to clean water, medical care and sanitation remains a significant challenge for Haitians, particularly children. This is why the recovery and rebuilding of this fragile nation must begin and end with a central focus on the immediate and long-term needs of children. If there is to be a glimmer of hope for Haiti, it will be because the international community understands that the capacity to rise from the ashes of catastrophe is directly related to the health, well-being and potential of its youngest generation. /Irwin Redlener is the director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, and president of the Children's Health Fund./ UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766861 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766861 Date: 08/31/2015 /(Getty Images.)/ Posted at 12:15 AM/ET, February 10, 2010 in Foreign Affairs - Latin America - Forum I Permalink USA TODAY welcomes your views and encourages lively -- but civil -discussions.

Sid Men on Horseback 1;1 e NSC's strategic guidance, a classified document that outlines the president's new approach, was described by the senior administration official as limiting military operations "in scale and scope to the minimum required to achieve two goals -- to prevent al-Qaeda safe havens and to prevent the Taliban from toppling the government." The use of resourceintensive counterinsurgency tactics -- employing U.S. forces to protect Afghan civilians from the Taliban -- is supposed to be restricted to key cities and towns in southern and eastern parts of the country, the official said. "The strategy has fundamentally changed. This is not a COIN strategy," Vice President Biden said on MSNBC last week, using the military's shorthand for counterinsurgency. "This is not 'go out and occupy the whole country.' " " Washbost It appears that the Afghan policy war is not over. Chandrasekaran is a good reporter but not good enough to get this unaided. Soo°, someone(s) at the NSC briefed him so that the message would be delivered to the "other team" that their behavior is being watched closely and that the NSC team is prepared to use the public media as a weapon if need be. The reporter then went to the Defense Department where he was told their side of the story. Secretary Gates appears to have become the leader of the pentagon faction Petraeus is interestingly absent from this nearly open struggle. He will wait to see what the outcome may be.

Stanley A. McChrystal that he was not granting McChrystal's request to double the size of the Afghan army and police. Cost was a factor, as were questions about whether the capacity exists to train 400,000 personnel. The president told McChrystal, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, to focus for now on fielding a little more than half that number by next October. Ten days after Obama's speech, the U.S. command responsible for training the Afghans circulated a chart detailing the combined personnel targets for the army and police. McChrystal's goal of 400,000 remained unchanged. "It's an open issue," a senior Pentagon official said last week. Nearly a month after Obama unveiled his revised Afghanistan strategy, military and civilian leaders have come away with differing views of several fundamental aspects of the president's new approach, according to more than a dozen senior administration and military officials involved in Afghanistan policy, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Members of Obama's war cabinet disagree over the meaning of his pledge to begin drawing down forces in July 2011 and whether the mission has been narrowed from a proposal advanced by McChrystal in his August assessment of the war. The disagreements have opened a fault line between a desire for an early exit among several senior officials at the White House and a conviction among military commanders that victory is still achievable on their terms. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766890 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766890 Date: 08/31/2015 The differences are complicating implementation of the new strategy. Some officers have responded to the July 2011 date by seeking to accelerate the pace of operations, instead of narrowing them. At the White House, a senior administration official said, the National Security Council is discussing ways to increase monitoring of military and State Department activities in Afghanistan to prevent "overreaching." The NSC's strategic guidance, a classified document that outlines the president's new approach, was described by the senior administration official as limiting military operations "in scale and scope to the minimum required to achieve two goals -- to prevent ai-Qaeda safe havens and to prevent the Taliban from toppling the government." The use of resourceintensive counterinsurgency tactics -- employing U.S. forces to protect Afghan civilians from the Taliban -- is supposed to be restricted to key cities and towns in southern and eastern parts of the country, the official said. "The strategy has fundamentally changed. This is not a COIN strategy," Vice President Biden said on MSNBC last week, using the military's shorthand for counterinsurgency. "This is not 'go out and occupy the whole country.' " Setting limits During a videoconference two days before the speech, Obama made it clear to McChristal and U.S. Ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry that he did not want the additional troops to fuel a broader mission. Speaking to both men from the White House Situation Room, the president told them not to deploy the forces to areas they would not be able to transfer to Afghan security forces by July 2011, according to two senior officials with knowledge of the conversation. Obama's essential instruction was, according to one of the officials, "Don't bite off more than you can chew." White House officials said the president opposes using the forces he has authorized to duplicate an expansive, iraq-style counterinsurgency operation -- in part because he questions whether it will be possible to achieve a similar outcome in Afghanistan, which is less developed, and because he wants to start reducing troops in 18 months. The White House's desired end state in Afghanistan, officials said, envisions more informal local security arrangements than in Iraq, a lesscapable national government and a greater tolerance of insurgent violence. Senior military officials still think they can achieve a better outcome than envisaged by civilian skeptics in the administration by using the new forces to mount more comprehensive counterinsurgency operations. Although Pentagon strategists and McChrystal's advisers in Kabul are looking at how they can fulfill the White House desire for a less extensive mission, military officials said they are reluctant to strip too much away and weaken an approach that has come to be revered within the ranks as the only way to suppress guerrilla movements. Military officials contend that McChrystal does not harbor expansionist aims. They note that he has begun removing troops from remote mountain valleys and concentrating resources on a modest number of key population centers. But the approach in those areas will involve counterinsurgency tactics: Troops will focus on restoring normal patterns of life by trying to keep the Taliban at bay, helping the Afghan government provide basic services to the population and training local security forces. McChrystal's plan, the senior Pentagon official said, "is still counterinsurgency, regardless of the various agendas people are trying to spin." Dissent over drawdown During strategy discussions at the White House, differences between the White House and the military came into sharp relief over °baffle's decision to announce his intention to begin drawing down troops in July 2011. McChrystal argued against it, according to three officials familiar with the process. The head of the U.S. Central Command, Gen. David H. Petraeus, also expressed concerns. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates urged Obama to make the drawdoWn "conditions-based." "There was a lot of push back" from the Defense Department, one of the officials said. The president received cover from one uniformed general at the table, James E. Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Cartwright had adopted a more skeptical view of the mission than many of his military colleagues, one that resonated with Obama and Biden. Cartwright effectively endorsed the July 2011 date, arguing that increasing forces and engaging in limited counterinsurgency made sense, the senior administration official said, "but given the risk factors -- Pakistan, the Karzai government, the whole notion of sub-national governance and our track record with the [Afghan security forces], which is not prestigious -- that it made sense to demonstrate that we could actually do this." It. also helped Obama that the principal troop-increase proposal being discussed at the time -- a recommendation that McChrystal receive 30,000 forces for 18 to 24 months -- had been developed by Gates. The Defense Department paperwork detailing the proposal identified the increase as starting in the summer of 2009, when the first troops deployed by the president this year began conducting operations in Afghanistan, but it did not specify an end date. "Rather than leaving this indefinite and hypothetical, the president's intervention was to say, 'Okay, if we're starting in July of '09, then we're really talking about July of '11," said the senior administration official who described the NSC guidance. Obama eventually told his war cabinet that he would announce the July 2011 deadline but that the pace of withdrawals would be determined, as Gates had sought, by conditions on the ground. Obama said he would conduct a thorough review of progress in a year's time. Although he did not endorse McChrystal's request to increase the Afghan security forces to 400,000, he said he would reevaluate the issue once the 2010 goal of training 230,000 forces is achieved. The president avoided details in his Dec. 1 address, leaving it up to members of his Cabinet and to his advisers to explain the specifics. The result has been a wide divergence of expectations. Gates, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" the Sunday after the speech, said that perhaps only "some handful or some small number" would be withdrawn. Biden, during UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766890 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766890 Date: 08/31/2015 his MSNBC appearance last week, said a chart showing an increase in U.S. deployments this year would be "coming down as rapidly over the next two years." The ambiguity over the meaning of the July 2011 deadline has generated uncertainty over the presidents intent. "Is the surge a way of helping us leave more quickly, or is the timeline a way to help win support for the surge?" asked a senior Democratic staff member in Congress. "Which is the strategy and which is the head-fake? Nobody knows." One senior military officer in Afghanistan said he and his fellow soldiers "don't know if this is all over in 18 months, or whether this is just a progress report that leads to minor changes." "Until they tell us otherwise," the officer said, "we're operating as if the latter is the policy." A 'dramatic change'? Although senior-level civilians in the administration emerged from the review process thinking the mission had been circumscribed, senior military officials continue to have a different view. The result, as they see it, is that the White House has embraced McChrystal's original plan. "We had already been pretty focused that we wouldn't try to clear and hold things more than we needed to," said a senior commander involved in the war. "It wasn't a dramatic change by any means." White House officials have cited a meeting among NSC staff members and McChrystal in which the general displayed a slide stating that his mission was to "Defeat the Taliban," which some civilians deemed overly ambitious because it suggested that every last member of the Taliban would have to be killed or captured. The officials said the mission was redefined to avoid the term. But to military officers, defeat "doesn't mean wipe everyone out," the commander said. "It means after Waterloo, Napoleon still had an army but he wasn't going to threaten Europe. We used that view when we worked defeat." Even before the White House review had finished, the commander in charge of day-to-day operations, Lt. Gen. David M. Rodriguez, had developed a plan to concentrate U.S. and NATO efforts in 80 of the country's nearly 400 districts. "They're taking credit for some of the things that McChrystal was already doing and calling it a narrowed focus," a senior military official said. White House advisers maintain that the review process did refine the mission beyond what McChrystal had proposed over the summer. "There was a real narrowing here," the senior administration official said. "Stan has a big leadership task to adapt his original concept to the new strategic guidance." The official said NSC officials recognize it will take time for the new orders to filter through the ranks. "This doesn't turn around with a speech," the official said. "But I hope we don't see slides a month from now that continue to state that our goal is 400,000" Afghan security forces. The challenge, said that official and another senior administration official, is to recalibrate military operations over the next 18 months in accordance with the new goal. "The guidance they have is that we're not doing everything, and we're not doing it forever," the second official said. "The hardest intellectual exercise will be settling on how much is enough." For now, however, top military officers speak more expansively than White House advisers. "Winning means we hand off to a security force that can secure the country," the senior Pentagon official said. "We've separated the enemy, we've connected the people to the government, and we're helping them to rebuild their economy. It's at that point that we begin to transition it over to them." Terms such as "winning" and "victory" have been eschewed by the White House. Obama did not use either in his Dec. 1 address, and he said in an interview earlier this year that he was uncomfortable using the term "victory" when fighting "a non-state actor, a shadowy operation like al-Qaeda." But when Gates visited Kabul a week after Obama's speech, he made a point of telling military personnel there that "we are in this thing to win." "From a moral perspective, when you ask soldiers and families to sacrifice, we do that to win," the Pentagon official said. "We need to be able to articulate winning."

All of my and Jared's ideas which you saw reflected in the memo from last week are executable from anywhere between 24 hours to a couple months. There are not any technological barriers to execution, but as I discussed with Jake, some take us well past the boundaries of what has been allowable to date in our current policy framework. That said, we are ready and willing to take action as soon we have a "go" order. I am happy to review specific content from the memo with you or others offline. Separately, I wanted to share some key activities following up on your Internet Freedom speech, which has reverberated globally. Here is what we are doing to maintain forward momentum: 1) With your blessing, we will build a new architecture of States who share our principles of Internet freedom and are committed to not just espousing those principles, but collaborating in measurably reducing the number of States that countervail the freedoms you outlined in your speech. 2) Jared and I met with Stanford President John Hennessy last week and we will work through Stanford to indirectly launch an innovation competition for the best apps and programs that provide tools for circumvention of politically motivated censorship. 3) Maria Otero and Bob Hormats will co-chair a session in which we are hauling in the major, relevant technology companies. There may be some squealing, but we want to ensure that the private sector understands our values and make more carefully considered decisions about the deals they cut with foreign governments. In these meetings, we will also look for the private sector to contribute resources (financial, engineering, hardware, etc.) in support of your UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766897 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766897 Date: 08/31/2015 Internet Freedom objectives.

Murtha back in the hospital By: David Rogers February 2,2010 10:43 AM EST Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha was back in the hospital Tuesday after undergoing gall bladder surgery last week. The Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington said that the 77-year-old Democrat was a patient in its intensive care unit but referred all questions about his condition to his family. Murtha's congressional office confirmed that he underwent scheduled laparoscopic surgery to remove his gallbladder at Bethesda Naval Hospital last week. But the congressman's spokesman refused comment on the seriousness of his condition or any complication that required hospitalization. A powerhouse in the House Appropriations Committee and close friend of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (DCalif.), Murtha was hospitalized for a period in December as well when he suffered an infection in his gall bladder. The doctors then decided that it should be removed once the infection had been tempered, and that set up the surgery last week at Bethesda. In the interim, Murtha has been back in the Capitol, and in his style, came back from the hospital— with IV bandages still on him— to oversee passage of his defense appropriations bill.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 2, 2010 CONTACT: PPFA Media Relations 202-973-4882 STATEMENT FROM CECILE RICHARDS ON INTERNATIONAL FAMILY PLANNING IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC —The women of the world have true friends in Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Obama administration. After years of inadequate funding during the previous administration, yesterday's Fiscal Year 2011 budget request for an increase in international family planning is a critical step forward in demonstrating our nation's renewed commitment to ensuring that women worldwide have access to safe and effective reproductive health care. The Obama administration has sent a strong signal that the status quo is unacceptable. Every year more than half a million women — nearly all of whom live in developing countries — die of pregnancy-related causes. Moreover, one in three deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth could be avoided if women who wanted effective contraception had access to it. To strengthen our working relationships with partners around the world, as well as our image, the United States must increase access to family planning. By ensuring that women have increased access to the family planning they need, our nation is working to make good on its commitment to promote the health of all women and their families. An investment in family planning is an investment that reaps significant dividends. By providing education, counseling and contraceptives to women and couples, we are working to strengthen families worldwide. We also will help achieve major reductions in infant and maternal mortality, HIV infections and global poverty. As Secretary Clinton has said, "There's a direct connection between a woman's ability to plan her family, space her pregnancies, and give birth safely, and her ability to get an education, work outside the home, support her family, and participate fully in the life of her community."

Limited access to health care, lack of political will, legal and regulatory restrictions, cultural taboos, and harsh gender inequality all put women at risk of unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion and childbirth, and HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. The commitment of Secretary Clinton and the Obama administration to international family planning will further the efforts of Planned Parenthood and others to help women overcome barriers to accessing needed reproductive health care. As the Fiscal Year 2011 budget and appropriations process moves forward, we look forward to working with Congress to build on this request so that we may adequately address the global health challenges facing women worldwide. #4:# Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care provider and advocate.

Hunt Print This Story Dec. 28 (Bloomberg) -- A year ago, the expectation was that President-elect Barack Obama's economic team would be a smooth- functioning machine, and the outlook was for turbulence in the national-security arena. Timothy Geithner, the Treasury-secretary designate, and Lawrence Summers, chosen to head the White House National Economic Council, were unusually able veterans of Washington and financial crises. They were joined by a star-studded cast of economic advisers starting with former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, perhaps the most respected financial figure in the world, and prominent academic economists. By contrast, the national-security advisers featured Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, who Obama upset to win the nomination and was still surrounded by aides who thought the wrong person won; Defense Secretary Robert Gates, a holdover from President George W. Bush's administration, and national- security adviser and former North Atlantic Treaty Organization commander Jim Jones, who barely knew his new boss. Twelve months later, this conventional wisdom has turned upside down. The foreign-policy team, despite a few glitches, wins high marks and is beset by less rivalry and rancor than most any administration in memory. The vaunted economic team is faulted for poor coordination, drawing even the president's ire, and an inability to convey an overarching policy. Deficit vs. Jobs Two recent anecdotes illustrate this problem. On Dec. 2, as Obama prepared to give a major economic speech at the Brookings Institution on Dec. 8 (and a day after his Afghanistan speech at West Point) he met with policy makers. He heard a familiar reprise of the previous several meetings with budget director Peter Orszag arguing for more emphasis on reducing the deficit and Council of Economic Advisers chief Christina Romer leading the contingent espousing a greater short-term stress on jobs. The president, by his standards, exploded. "Why are we having this meeting again, the same discussion," participants quoted him as saying. Several administration insiders, prominent outside Democratic economic advisers and a few Congressional heavyweights, all worry this is symptomatic of a process that isn't working well. Summers, they argue, is brilliant on policy and ill-suited for a high-level staff job, which is what the head of the National Economic Council is. "If you came up with 10 words to describe Larry, coordination and collaboration would not be two," says one person requesting anonymity who has worked with Summers extensively and admires his intellectual force. Top-Flight Players' David Axelrod, Obama's top adviser, cautions not to read too much into one meeting. "When you bring in top-flight players, strong personalities, there's going to be issues of mediation," he says. "The president wants strong players, he synthesizes their best thinking, and the product is working." Still, others say Summers too often is dismissive of fellow economic advisers, other than Geithner, although begets a bum rap for supposedly freezing Volcker out of major decisions. The 82-year-old Volcker wants a freewheeling advisory role. But advisers acknowledge Summers rarely reaches out to include him. Volcker takes a much tougher line than Summers or Geithner toward Wall Street. The other problem, an inability to effectively communicate an economic policy, was typified in a Dec. 4 interview with Geithner, who was asked what is the "clear, coherent economic message" of the administration. 'High-Class Education' He proceeded to talk about "high-class education" for children, affordable health care, better incentives for energy and infrastructure, public-private arrangements and the like. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766956 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766956 Date: 08/31/2015 There are 15.4 million unemployed Americans and another 11.5 million "underemployed," either having given up looking and thus not counted in the jobless numbers or involuntarily relegated to part-time work. A laundry list of the Democrats' agenda is unlikely to prove comforting. Geithner, who wins praise from Obama and others for his substantive performance after a shaky start and some more recent cheap political shots, acknowledges that public communications isn't his forte. It isn't Summers' either. And those who are more effective, including Roemer and fellow Council of Economic Advisers member Austan Goolsbee, sometimes are cut out of the action. Loss of Confidence The result: On the economy, Americans are losing confidence in the president, who gets little credit for policies that avoided an economic calamity and are starting to tum things around. In a survey by pollster Ann Selzer a few weeks ago for Bloomberg News, voters by 50 percent to 45 percent disapprove of Obama's performance on the economy; the numbers were worse on handling the budget deficit and dealing with Wall Street. The best numbers were in foreign policy, including Afghanistan. The national-security apparatus isn't without problems. There has been periodic sniping at Jones, and top deputies have different perspectives. The deputy director, Tom Donilon, a well-regarded political operative, is seen as an extension of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel; and top aide Denis McDonough, is the keeper of the Obama campaign flame. Still, on the big stuff, especially the decision to escalate the war in Afghanistan, Obama has been well-served by his national-security team. Biden's Role Clinton has been a loyal and effective secretary of state and Gates has earned great respect from his commander in chief. There's almost none of the bitter infighting like that between Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in the Bush administration, or George Shultz and Caspar Weinberger in the Reagan years, or the incompetence that marked President Bill Clinton's first term. These tensions have been eased in the Obama administration by the constructive role played by Vice President Joseph Biden on foreign affairs. If the war in Afghanistan goes south this could change. But the framework for handling tough situations has been set. That isn't true with the economy. Inexplicably, Emanuel, a man with little tolerance for disarray, seems to have stayed on the sidelines here. In an election year, with the dueling dilemmas of huge deficits and high unemployment, the president can't regain credibility if saddled with a decision-making process that doesn't work effectively and a message that lacks coherence and clarity.

Please let me know if you have questions about the attached and below memo. I hope this can highlight for you the positive direction we are headed in, the increase in audiences we are engaging and more importantly, that this is only a continuation of the positive reaction we are having to our digital engagement efforts. Best, Katie Re: Redesign of State.gov Accomplishments and Changes On Thursday, December 17, 2009 the Department launched a new homepage design and altered navigation functionality for www.state.gov, the public facing site of the State Department. The site aimed to meet the following goals: • Better highlight the Department's priorities • Proactively engage visitors • Develop more Search-friendly features • Provide easy access to vital citizen services, e.g. passport and visa information The launch brought a series of positive press as noted in the below clips: "..it embraces social networking and other Web 2.0 tools in an exercise it called "21st Century statecraft." — AFP Global "Gone are the old pro forma website verticals like press information, career postings, and resources for kids and other young one. Now, State.gov's site navigation draws attention to the ambitious policy thrusts that Secretary Clinton would like to make the centerpieces of her tenure at the department." — TechPresident "The State Department hopes to use the site to engage people in an ongoing dialogue on foreign policy" -- Federal Computer Week "The U.S. Department of State today unveiled a redesign of its official website, incorporating improved functionality and an updated design. With significant increases in traffic and expanding needs among users, the new, simplified design of www.state.gov aims to: present the Department of State more transparently, effectively communicate the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766965 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766965 Date: 08/31/2015 overarching mission of the Department of State, and increasingly engage audiences in an ongoing dialogue with Secretary Clinton and others in the Department on the foreign policy issues facing the country." — Enews Channel Results: Overall the site has received positive praise from inside and outside the building on the new simplified design. The increased focus on major foreign policy objectives and on social networking have altered traffic and increased our networks. The new design allows us to better educate visiting audiences on the priorities of the Department and better engage in a daily conversation. All metrics are trending up for visiting audiences to state.gov, Dipnote the blog, and social networking. Top Line Statistics: State.gov: 37% increase in traffic Dipnote Blog: 30% increase to traffic Facebook: 20% increase to number of fans Twitter: 23% increase to number of followers Search: -3% indicating that users perhaps are better at finding information and have less of a need for search function. We will continue to monitor. Going forward: We will continue to monitor all our metrics to ensure we are expanding our reach and engagement. We will look in the coming year to continue refining the website to build upon initial successes to ensure information is easy to find, understandable and useable. We will also look to build more language support into State.gov, and increase the number of social networking tools we are using to engage visiting audiences. Also given the increased importance on interagency priorities like Global Health and Food Security, we will seek ways that we can work together across agencies to promote our agenda and educate each of our visiting audiences on priorities through www.state.gov.

They complement each other in the task of making human rights a human reality. President Roosevelt understood the fundamental link between liberty, prosperity and security, tying together freedom of speech and worship with freedom from want and freedom from fear in his famous "Four Freedoms" speech. At Georgetown, Secretary Clinton articulated a 21st century vision grounded in this wisdom. To accuse Secretary Clinton of embracing a Soviet-bloc approach to human rights because she includes development in a discussion of democracy not only strains the bonds of credulity and common sense, it also walls off a crucial avenue for ensuring that people can actually exercise the rights that are naturally theirs including the rights to freedom of religion, association, and speech-in their daily lives. As Secretary Clinton made clear, policies that address development alone are not adequate: "Freedom doesn't come in half measures, and partial remedies will not solve the whole problem," she said. But experience shows us that where broad-based development occurs, people are more likely to demand a say in securing their futures, and governments are more likely to have the resources to maintain the strong institutions, including reliable police and fair courts, that help ensure the consistent protection of rights. Where people are given the right to speak freely, to participate in their nation's political process and have access to basic information about government, sustainable development is more likely to occur. At the same time, democracies without development do not last. These are mutually reinforcing tracks, and the Obama Administration is committed to pursuing both simultaneously. As President Obama said in his Nobel lecture, "engagement with repressive regimes lacks the satisfying purity of indignation." But the Post's overheated outrage ignores the lessons learned by generations of men and women who worked to advance human rights around the world. To suggest that Secretary Clinton somehow provided excuses to rights-abusing dictators in a speech in which she forcefully criticized specific abuses across the world, is simply not credible. Far from being an excuse for any regime, this is an approach that pushes governments to do more to advance civil and political rights and to ensure that democracy actually delivers a measure of prosperity and opportunity for all. That is the right approach for the Obama Administration and for the 21st century. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766987 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766989 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Schwerin, Daniel B Tuesday, December 29, 2009 6:26 PM H Re: Posner response to Washington Post editorial Great.

The Post's Dec 27 editorial ("Redefining Human Rights") on the Obama Administration's human rights and democracy policies, and Secretary Clinton's recent speech at Georgetown in particular, misses THE CRITICAL. POINT: human rights, democracy, and development are mutually reinforcing, not competing goals. They complement each other in the [DELETE: practical] task of making human rights a human reality. President Roosevelt understood the fundamental link between liberty, prosperity and security, tying together freedom of speech and worship with freedom from want and freedom from fear in his famous "Four Freedoms" speech. At Georgetown, Secretary Clinton articulated a 21st century vision grounded in this [DELETE: old] wisdom. To accuse Secretary Clinton of embracing a Soviet-bloc approach to human UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766994 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766994 Date: 08/31/2015 rights because she includes development in a discussion of democracy not only strains the bonds of credulity and common sense, it also walls off a crucial avenue for ensuring that people can actually exercise the rights that are naturally theirs - including the rights to freedom of religion, association, and speech-in their daily lives. AS SECRETARY CLINTON MADE CLEAR, policies that address development alone are not adequate: "Freedom doesn't come in half measures, and partial remedies will not solve the whole problem," she said. But experience shows us that where broad-based development occurs, people are more likely to demand a say in securing their futures, and governments are more likely to have the resources to maintain the strong institutions, including reliable police and fair courts, that help ensure the consistent protection of rights. Where people are given the right to speak freely, to participate in their nation's political process and have access to basic information about government, sustainable development is [DELETE: much] more likely to occur. At the same time, democracies without development do not last. These are mutually reinforcing tracks, and the Obama Administration is committed to pursuing both simultaneously. As President Obama said in his Nobel lecure, "engagement with repressive regimes lacks the satisfying purity of indignation." But the Post's overheated outrage ignores the [DELETE: practical] lessons learned by generations of men and women who worked to advance human rights around the world. [DELETE: And t]To suggest that Secretary Clinton somehow provided excuses to rights-abusing dictators in a speech in which she forcefully critized specific abuses across the world, is simply not credible. Far from being an excuse for any regime, this is an approach that pushes governments to do more to advance civil and political rights and to ensure that democracy actually delivers a measure of prosperity and opportunity for all. It's the right approach for 21st century. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766994 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766996 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Jiloty, Lauren C Tuesday, December 29, 2009 10:42 AM H; Huma Abedin RE: Call list ok Original Message----From: H [mailto:HDR22@clintonemail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2009 10:39 AM To: Jiloty, Lauren C; Huma Abedin Subject: Call list Revise as follows: I spoke w the following so remove-Snowe Yang McConnell Baugh LaHood Webb UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766996 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767003 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Sunday, January 17, 2010 10:45 PM H Re: Y Original Message ---From: H To: Mills, Cheryl D Sent: Sun Jan 17 22:28:22 2010 Subject: Re: Ok.

John Kerry (D-MA) to travel to Iran. Today, Fred Jones, spokesman for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told POLITICO that "John Kerry has no plans to visit Iran." Jones added that "We never discuss the Senator's private or diplomatic conversations." Asked if that implied that Kerry was exploring the possibility of meeting Iranian officials elsewhere in a third country, Jones said. no. "There are no plans to meet with any Iranian officials abroad." Interestingly, for the past week, Kerry's office has used variations of "unaware of plans" or "no plans" to discuss these Iran meetings rumors -- rather than "no." And at face value, Jones' statement today does not seem to be the kind of flat denial that Kerry had filed such a request, but doesn't seem to indicate such a meeting is imminent. It also does not seem to close the door that such plans have been or are being or will be explored. Has occurred to me that having a non administration lawmaker showing willingness to keep a channel open with Tehran could serve several purposes, in that it's not the administration offering to send an envoy. It could also distract a lot of attention away as a kind of decoy from other conversations that might or might not be going on.

From: Ross, Alec 3 Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 11:09 AM To: Mills, Cheryl D; Sullivan, Jacob 3 Subject: CNN piece on what's happening now in tech space in Tehran http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/30/iran.social.media/ (CNN) — It was called the "Twitter Revolution" — the mass street protests following Iran's questionable June elections that were beamed to the world via social media and other online tools despite the government's media blackout. This week, a loose, multi-national network of protesters, bloggers, Web developers and everyday Internet users has ramped up again in the wake of renewed anti-government street demonstrations that turned deadly Sunday on Ashura, a Shiite Muslim holy day commemorating the death of 7th Century cleric Imam Hussein. This time, Internet analysists and online activists involved in the movement have told CNN that a government initially caught flatfooted at how easily information flowed out of the country was ready to fight back. "It's clear the government has been definitely restricting the Internet in a much more controlled way," said Cyrus Farivar, an Iranian-American freelance journalist who writes about technology issues. "They're definitely paying attention and, at the very least, trying to intimidate people." And retaliation has been brutal — both for those taking to the streets and those spreading the word online. One of the most compelling videos to emerge from the recent unrest showed what the people who posted it said was an Iranian government vehicle plowing into a crowd of protesters, apparently running over and, they say, killing a woman. Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi, Tehran's chief prosecutor, said Tuesday that seven people were killed in the Ashura riots. The demonstrations were the deadliest since June. Those left at least eight dead, according to Iran's Supreme National Security Council — although dissidents and observers have said there were many more. The world was able to learn about those protests through first-person accounts online after a disputed election that returned hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to office despite serious questions about polling results. As protests swelled, Iran's government began kicking out some reporters from some traditional Western media outlets, arresting others and restricting the movements of those who remained. In their place sprung citizen journalists who posted videos, photos and firsthand accounts on Twitter feeds, Facebook groups and sites like Flickr and YouTube. They kept images of the protests -- and the sometimes bloody response of government backers — in front of the world. As early as election day, both opposition political leaders and anti-government protesters said cell-phone signals were being jammed. They consistently reported networking Web sites in Iran being blocked, phone lines disconnected and protest sites allegedly infiltrated by government spies who spread misinformation and sought the identities of those speaking against the regime. That experience, observers say, had the government primed for the most recent explosion of information. "The spike at the beginning, right after the election, was pretty chaotic,"said Austin Heap, a San Francisco-based Web developer who has helped Iranian dissidents report from within their country. "Not even their government knew what they were going to do and how they were going to handle things. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767047 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767047 Date: 08/31/2015 "I think right now what you're seeing is a much more coordinated and organized response from them." Tech experts say the Iranian government has become more adept at using a type of Internet filtering called deep-packet inspection to track information sent from one Internet user to another and hunt down the sender. The government has also begun using the protest's own techniques against it. As early as June, online activists said they suspected government agents of posing as protesters in an attempt to pry information out of people within the movement. Some Twitter feeds of protesters suddenly and inexplicably began posting pro-government messages or asking for details about where and when protests would be held. Earlier this month, videos that appeared to show protesters burning an image of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei circulated the Internet. Opposition leaders denied the burnings ever happened and said they were a hoax carried out by the government to discredit them and turn the Iranian public against their cause. "Fake clips, usually made to provoke and split the opposition, are becoming a staple of the Iranian Internet," Evgeny Morozov, who writes about the Internet for Foreign Policy magazine, wrote in a commentary for CNN. Austin Heap has helped set up and verify reliable proxies by which Iranians can post news to the Web without giving away their locations. He's also helping develop a program called Haystack designed to help Iranians anonymously elude government filters. 'We definitely have been working on overload for the past three days," he said Tuesday. "I woke up two days ago to 60 e-mails and 12 missed phone calls — all people that, all of a sudden, needed an immediate response." The continued media blackout in Iran had made it difficult for traditional media to immediately verify Sunday's accounts of the weekend's violence. But videos that surfaced depicted bloodied and, in some cases, apparently dead protesters. A range of Web sites have either emerged or seen renewed interest in light of the recent protests. They run the gamut from YouTube accounts dedicated to images from street protests to blogs mocking the Iranian regime. At the blog Watch Me Confess, opponents of Iran's government post faux apologies for what they call ridiculous claims the government has made about the protesters. At Neda Net -- named for the young woman whose shooting death in June became a rallying cry for protesters -- people who call themselves a network of hackers offer tips on how to help Iranians use the Internet freely "There's this kind of global attention being paid across different countries and cultures and languages," said Farivar, who noted the emergence of a Twitter hashtag — #CN4Iran -- THAT appears to have been started by Chinese supporters of the Iranian protesters. Despite their best efforts and good intentions, supporters outside the country won't decide the outcome of the most recent round of protests, Farivar said. The actions of Iranians on the ground will. "I think it's naive to think that just because you're changing your location to Tehran [on a Twitter profile] that you're confusing the Iranian authorities," he said. "That would make them seem less intelligent than they are." But Heap said the steady flow of information will be important as a government that prefers secrecy continues a violent crackdown on its citizens. "They can't hide any more," he said. 'The government has done everything they can to shut people up, and every time they do this they're just making more and more activists -- more and more citizen journalists."

Sarah Palin, according to a Gallup poll out Wednesday. When Gallup asked 1,025 adults nationwide to name the woman they admire most, 16 percent picked Clinton. Palin was the only other woman to be mentioned by at least 10 percent, being selected by 15 percent of those surveyed. Daytime talk show host Oprah Winfrey came in third with 8 percent, edging out first lady Michelle Obama who got 7 percent. Rounding out the top 10 were former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Queen Elizabeth II, who both received 2 percent, along with former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, poet Maya Angelou, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Elin Nordegren Woods, wife of golfer Tiger Woods — all of whom received 1 percent. Clinton has been named most admired woman by the poll 14 times, going back to her time as first lady. Only then-first lady Laura Bush in 2001 and Mother Teresa in 1995 and 1996 have been able to knock Clinton from her perch, though Palin came close. President Barack Obama ran away with the competition for most admired man, receiving the endorsement of 30 percent of those polled. Former President George W. Bush came in second with 4 percent, topping former South African President Nelson Mandela's 3 percent. Fox News host Glenn Beck, Pope Benedict XVI, the Rev. Billy Graham and Microsoft founder Bill Gates all received 2 percent. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), former President George H.W. Bush, former President Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods received support from 1 percent of those polled. Clinton and Woods tied for 10th place.

Consistent with Prime Minister Fayyad's plan for a future Palestinian state, Tony Blair, as the Quartet representative, will intensify his partnership with Senator Mitchell in support of the political negotiations. In his role as Quartet Representative Tony Blair will continue, with full support by and coordination with Senator Mitchell, to mobilize the efforts of the international community: (1) to build support for the institutional capacity and governance of a future Palestinian State, including on the rule of law; (2) to improve freedom of movement and access for Palestinians; (3) to encourage further private sector investment; and (4) to bring change in the living conditions of the people in Gaza.

From: Wykle, Chadwick Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 4:00 PM To: Mills, Cheryl D; Kennedy, Patrick F; Merten, Kenneth H; Klevorick, Caitlin B; Coley, Theodore R Subject: Haiti judge rules for release of U.S. missionaries By Joseph Guyler Delva PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - A Haitian judge said Thursday he had ruled in favor of the release of 10 U.S. missionaries accused of kidnapping 33 children and trying to take them out of the earthquake-stricken country. "I just signed the request for the release of the 10 Americans submitted by the lawyers and I have sent it to the prosecutor's office," Judge Bernard Sainvil said. He earlier told Reuters that once the prosecutor had given his opinion, he could formally issue a release order for the Americans, who have been jailed since they were stopped at Haiti's border with the Dominican Republic on Jan. 29. Once the release order was issued, "they can go directly to the airport if they want and leave, but they should provide a guarantee of representation if further questions need to be asked," Sainvil said. Under Haitian law, the prosecutor can formally comment on the judge's decision but he cannot overrule it. A judicial source told Reuters Wednesday that Sainvil had decided to free the U.S. missionaries because there had been no evidence demonstrating "criminal intentions" on their part to support charges of child kidnap and criminal association leveled against them. The missionaries, most of whom belong to an Idaho-based Baptist church, were arrested trying to take the children across the border to the Dominican Republic 17 days after a magnitude 7 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people in the impoverished Caribbean nation. PLEAS FOR RELEASE FROM PARENTS The five men and five women have denied any intentional wrongdoing and said they were only trying to help orphans left destitute by the quake, which shattered the Haitian capital and left more than 1 million homeless. But evidence showed that most of the children still had living parents. During hearings in the case, Sainvil heard from 10 parents of children handed over to the Americans. They UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767115 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767115 Date: 08/31/2015 said they had turned them over because they had no food or water to give them, and believed they would have a better life with the missionaries elsewhere. These parents had pleaded for the Americans' release. The case has been a distraction to the Haitian government as it tries to cope with the aftermath of the earthquake and was diplomatically sensitive for the United States as it heads a massive international effort to feed and shelter Haitian quake survivors. The U.S. government had said it was providing the Americans with consular access and monitoring their case, but made clear it did not want to interfere. Haiti's beleaguered government had warned that traffickers could try to take advantage of the chaos that followed the quake by taking away vulnerable children, and it tightened adoption procedures.

I had a long conversation with Craig a little while ago. He spoke with a number of people in Chile, including his close friend, According to Craig, Pinera had made the calculation that it would be politically untenable to dump Insulza. Apparently there is a coalition leadership in the lower house, and Insulza's party, Concertacion, controls the upper house. So he had no choice. That said, Craig believes that his clear message had an impact on what Pinera told Insulza. He apparently gave his support with two conditions: (1) don't interfere in Chilean politics, and (2) take the democratization agenda seriously and don't carry the ALBA countries' water. Craig also said that Arturo had been effective in making clear that the jury was out on Insulza in Washington -- that had an impact on the Pinera government and reinforced their second message to him. Bottom line: Craig said we couldn't have talked Pinera off of this, but we helped drive a stronger set of conditions on Pinera's support.

Saudi Arabia: The End of Progress without Change Remarks to the Sarasota Institute for Lifetime Learning Ambassador Chas W. Freeman, Jr. (USFS, Ret.) Sarasota, Florida, February 11, 2010 I have been asked to speak to you about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is a topic I have never before addressed to an American audience. Why bother? We Americans reserve the right to have strong opinions on the basis of little or no knowledge. There are few countries that better exemplify our assertive ignorance of foreign geography, history, and culture than Saudi Arabia. Most of us are convinced that Saudis are Muslim zealots, control the world's oil prices, and are absurdly rich, anti-feminist, and undemocratic. They hate our values and want to destroy us. Talk radio confirms this. What more needs to be said?

Neither caricature nor a priori reasoning is a sound basis for policy. A distorted view of foreign realities precludes success at dealing with them. There is much at stake in our relationship with Saudi Arabia. We can ill afford to get it wrong. That country is, of course, the heartland of Islam and the custodian of the world's largest oil reserves. It lies athwart transport routes between Asia, Europe, and A.frica. It is at the center of a. growing concentration of global capital. tinder any circumstances, the .Kingdom of Saudi Arabia NV cut important. It is all the more so in an era when we Americans are at war with ever more peoples in the Islamic world, depend on ever greater amounts of imported energy, and need ever larger foreign loans to Mil our government and sustain our life style. Yet Saudi Arabia is little known.. It is the only society on the planet not to have been penetrated by Western colonialism. No European armies breached its borders; no missionaries; no merchants. Its capital, Riyadh, was long off limits to infidels; the holy cities of Mecca and Medini. remain so to;:lay. 'When Westeriaers finally came to Saudi Arabia, we came not as the vindicators of our presumed cultural superiority, but as hired help. As a result, some say that Saudis secretly see the world's peoples as divided into two basic categories: (1) fellow Saudis; and (2) potentitA employees. 'Be that as it may, foreigners, Western, Asian, or /krab, who have lived in SLiudi Arabi.a all see it as a - very strange place — one that is riot easy to itnclerstand and that remains at odds with many of the values non-Saudis profess. The Kingdom has long stood apart from global norms. Its system of government draws on tribal and Islamic traditions rather than Western models. Its king presides rather than rules over the royal family and Saudi society. His responsibility is less to make decisions than to shape and proclaim consensus, while assuring a share of the national wealth to all. especially the leas;. 1ri.A.7ilege(. Saudi Arabia levies no taxes 011 t S citizens, other than the religious tithe known as "zakat" a two-and-a-half percent annual donation of private capital to charity and oilier public purposes. All Saudis ,n joy free education and Medi cal care fro PiTi rth to cleath and can pursue these sen, ices at home of abroad.. as they wish. The Kingdom has no parliament. though it does have elaborate informal mechanisms for consultation with its citizens on policy matters. Saudi Arabia reverses and thereby affirms a basic principle of American political philosophy. "No representation without taxation." Unlike some other countries in the Arab Gulf, Saudi .Nra.bia has invested its oil wealth at home, not abroad, ii it ilaS long been generous v,fith foreign aid. (At one point it was donatin.g six 13:fa-cent of GDP to other, mostly Muslim, nations.) The desecrate poverty of the pre-oil period is now, at most, a dim memory. Over the lifetime of elderly Sa.udis, the Kingdom's oer caraa. ifiC0111 e has risen about one hundred fold. Sparsely populated mud-walled villages have grown into huge air-conditioned. cities with 21 Century architecture. Today. Saudis are not just literate: many have university degrees. There are more U.S. Ph.D.'s in the Saudi Cabinet than in our Cabinet and Conpress put together. Despite rapid development, the strong family structure that characterized traditional Saadi society has remained largely intact. II is truly rnoving to see how lovingly inn ha' and grandchildren care for their elders in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia's unique social stability is reflected in the flirt that almost none of its citizens emigrate, though many have second homes abroad, and. a few. like Osama Biniadin, have been exiled for deviant behavior. for a long time it was easier for journalists and academics to get a visa to Tibet than to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps this accounts for the near total lack of institutions and scholars that study the place. In the United States, q/1.1 v\fas followed by an avalanche of polemical tracts, but there are still very few books about the Kingdom that reflect its realities rather than the authors' biases or propagandistic agendas. Lack of personal familiarity with the Kingdom helps explain the repeated prediction by pundits that the Saudi monarchy is in jeopardy. Generations of such pundits have passed away. The Kingdom has not. When I was ambassador to Riyadh. I was so struck by the apparent social stasis that I briefly thought the national motto should be UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 "progress without change." But in fact change is a constant in Saudi Arabia. Most of it comes from the top down. Not all Saudis are happy with the status quo. Some are angry about the extent to which the Kingdom is opening up and reforming. Others are impatient to get on with reform. The ranks of the latter clearly include King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Sa'ud, the current ruler. Now in his late eighties and on the throne only since 2005, he has surprised everyone with the vigor of his efforts to modernize Saudi society and to reshape its relationships with the world beyond its borders. Saudi Arabia has plenty of problems to keep the king engaged. A lot of issues derive from the peculiar religious heritage of the Saudi state, The current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (now over a century old) is the third political structure to ally the House of Sa'ud with the family of the eighteenth century religious reformer Shaykh al Islam Mohammed ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab Al-Tanaimi. Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab's writings form the doctrinal basis of so-called Wahliabis- m, a notoriously intolerant and socially conservative form of Islam -that is often confused with other reactionary religious traditions like that of the Taliban. Saudi history has Mvolved a sustained efibrt by the Kingdom's rulers to persuade us religious scholars and their puritanical followers to embrace change and to open up to the outside world. This struggle has mainly been peaceful and virtually invisible to outsiders. Sometimes, however, it has engendered violence. In 1975, for example, .the late King Faisal paid with his life for instituting public education for 2fris and for introducing television to his nation. Both as -regent (from 1996 to 2005) and more recently as ruler, King Abdullah has been so careful to avoid drama in his promotion of change that it is truly startling to review the cumulative results of his leadership. Take women's issues, for example. In 2002, responsibility for girls' education was transferred from the religious authorities to the ministry of education. Women now make up 58 percent of the enrollment in Saudi universities. The new Princess Noun ii 'Pint Abduirahmari University for Women, currently Wider construction in Riyadh, will enroll 40,000 students this fall. Female participation in the labor force is rising rapidly. Twenty-nine percent of women now work outside the home. (That is a low figure compared to our own but represents a remarkable advance for the Kingdom.) One- third of civil service positions have !peen reserved -for women. The first woman took her seat i.n the Co modof Ministers hist year. After a bit cilia kerfuffie, the .I',.iingdom's religious scholars ifinally endorsed coeducation at the new King Abdullah Univershv for Science and Technology. That was big blow to the 'legitimacy of gender apartheid. A Saudi friend and I are betting that it will not be long before women in the Kingdom can drive. We plan to clean up by building the separate road system tins may require. (That's a joke, I hope,) A word about the vision embodied in the King Abdullah University for Science and Technology. Founded by the king last Septernber with an initial endowment of ten billion dollars. KAUST is an international, graduatelevel research university. It sits in a two-billion-dollar campus on the Red Sea about seventy-five miles northwest of Mecca. On one level, it is the leading element in an effort to prepare the Kingdom for a knowledge-based economy that can complement and eventually supercede the current reliance on energy exports. But on another level, it is a powerful answer to the religious zealotry that terrorist movements like al Qa'ida espouse. Let me explain. There is a broad consensus among the world's 1.6 billion Muslims that the modern age is ethically corrupt and that religious faith needs reinvigoration and renewal. Much like early Christian Protestants, many believe that the way to achieve this is to rediscover and reaffirm the values of their religion's earliest times. When he inaugurated KAUST, King Abdullah explained that he envisaged it as a reborn Bayt al-Hikma or "House of Wisdom." The original "House of Wisdom" was founded in Baghdad around 760 CE., in the second century of the Muslim era. It was where the Arabs incorporated Greek, Indian and other foreign knowledge into Islam and conceived much of modern mathematics, astronomy, medicine, chemistry, zoology, and geography. It made Islamic civilization the global leader in science and technology. The "House of Wisdom" prospered in an age of tolerance, when Jews and Christians served alongside Muslims as ministers of government. Though UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 destroyed by the Mongols in 1258, the knowledge it preserved and developed eventually found its way to Europe, where it sparked the Renaissance. Today, like mainstream Muslims, the extremists of al Qa'ida and related movements argue that Islam must return to its roots. But they portray early Islam as puritanical, xenophobic, intolerant, and oppressive of women.. KAUST is a living rebuttal of this historical fallacy and the ideology of hatred derived from it. It was conceived as a new "House of Wisdom." It stands for the principle that Islam was founded as and can only be reborn as the religious guide to a society open to ideas from other traditions. It represents a call for return to an Islam tolerant of foreign ways, respectful of women, dedicated to the scientific study of God's handiwork, and committed to the development of new technologies to better the human condition. KAUST is as much an instrument of religious renaissance and an answer to extremism as it is an academic institution. This brings me to the issue of religious tolerance. In 2003, King Abdullah inaugurated what he called a "national forum for intellectual dialogue." This ongoing national dialogue is an unprecedented acceptance of religious diversity in the Kingdom. It marks an end to longstanding official discrimination against its Shiite minority. In 2007, King Abdullah made an historic call on the Pope in the Vatican, the first time a Muslim leader of his stature had done so. In 2008 he organized two unprecedented international interfaith conferences between Muslims, Jews, Christians. Buddhists, and others at Madrid and New York. He intends this dialogue, too, to be a continuing process. There are other major domestic reform initiatives in progress, like a complete revamping of the Saudi educational system and curriculum, experiments with elections at lower levels of government and civil society, efforts to shift the Kingdom toward reliance on alternative sources of energy, the development of a huge new petrochemical industry to complement the production of energy in its primary form. Time will not permit me to describe these developments. My point is simply that there is a great deal more going on in Saudi Arabia than our press and pundits seem to realize. That said, everything is, of course, relative. Sadly, to many Saudis, the history of their nation suggests that the more religiously uptight they are, the more oil comes out of the ground. The Kingdom continues in many ways to belie God's admonition in the Holy ()limn that "there can be no compulsion in religion." The open practice of religions other than Islam remains banned. The status and role of wonien in &tudi society is controversial and far from settled. Despite efforts at "Saudiization," foreign workers continue to dominate the employment market, while demanding a premium to compensate for the discomfort and stress that Saudi Arabia's religiously sanctioned mores impose on them. Methods of political consultation that worked in a more cohesive and less populous Saudi Arabia can no longer produce consensus. The fiscal basis of the state continues to be oil exports, and oil is a commodity whose price fluctuates unpredictably. There is, in other words, a very long list of problems for Saudis to work out in coming years. Let me turn briefly to Saudi Arabia's foreign relations before reviewing the state of our country's interaction with it. In foreign even more than domestic affairs, King Abdullah's impact has been little short of revolutionary. He has overseen the negotiated settlement of the Kingdom's long-disputed borders with all of its neighbors. He brought Saudi Arabia into the World Trade Organization, ensuring that its trade arid investment activities for the first time follow internationally agreed rules. In 1982, at Beirut, he led the Arab League in an historic reversal. of policy toward the Israel-Palestine issue. Saudi Arabia had long insisted that it would be the last state in the region to recognize and establish relations with Israel. At Beirut, King Abdullah committed to be the first to normalize relations with Israel upon its achievement of a mutually acceptable arrangement for coexistence with the Palestinians. He persuaded all other Arab countries to promise they would do the same. To his great frustration. Israel did not respond. Since then, hope for a two-state solution that could gain acceptance for Israel in the region has dimmed. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 Many of Saudi Arabia's foreign policy challenges stem from recent American policies in the region. These policies have had the effect of liberating Israel from all constraints on its settlement activities and belligerent intervention in its Arab neighbors, installing Iran as the dominant political influence in both Iraq and Lebanon, consolidating rather than eroding the Syrian-Iranian alliance, pushing Hama.s into the arms of the Iranians, and raising regional tensions over Tehran's nuclear program while doing nothing effective about it. Then there is Afghanistan, where the United States now seems to be engaged in a crusade against militant Islam — one that many in the region now fear may soon extend to Yemen. Saudi counter-terrorism specialists, Who have a welldeserved international reputation for effectiveness, are convinced that the most efficient way to radicalize Muslim populations and encourage terrorism against the United States and its foreign policy partners is to invade, occupy, and humiliate them. They believe that the panick.ed militarism of the U.S. response to 9/11 was exactly what groups like al Qa'ida, hoped for. They see no sign that the United States is about to abandon actions and policies that metastasize extremism and stimulate terrorist reprisal against Americans and our foreign friends. No longer willing to be publicly associated with U.S. policies in the Holy Land, Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere that radicalize the region and menace the Kingdom's own security, Saudi Arabia is actively attempting to reduce its historic dependence on America. To this end, it is building new relationships with countries like China, India, and. Russia, while strengthening cooperation with longstanding partners in Europe and Asia like Britain, France, Germany, japan, and south Korea. It is not that the Kingdom has given up on the United States. As the king's scholarship program for Saudi students in this country evidences., Saudi Arabia continues to reach out and seek improved relations with America. But Saudis no longer trust us to take their interests into account or to protect them from their enemies. In December 2002, as the U.S. prepared to invade Iraq against the forcefully expressed advice of then Crown Prince Abdullab, Saudi Aramco (the world's largest oil company) quietly abandoned a decades-old subsidy for the cost of shipping oil to the North American market. Within months, China replaced the United States as the Kingdom's biggest overseas market for oil. U.S. exports have remained relatively constant as the Saudi Arabian economy has boomed, dramatically' reducing our market share in our largest Middle Eastern market. Ironically, the best element of the US-Saudi relationship is now cooperation against terrorists. This is a task in which the Saudis have perforce learned to excel. American policies ensure an endless supply of angry young Muslim men in the region, including in Saudi Arabia. The United States is now said to have entered a "long war." The last time we did so, in 1947 with Soviet Communism„ the enemy was obvious, George Ketman gave us a strategy, and skillful American diplomacy gave us the allies we needed to pursue it. Kennan's "long telegram" from Moscow outlined a comprehensive approach to the political, economic, cultural, and military containment of the threat to our survival and our values posed by the Soviet Union. We followed his outline. Forty years later, as Kerman forecast, without our having to go to war with the USSR, ohr Soviet enemy collapsed of its own infirmities. This time, our "long war" is with various Islamic extremists, tribes, sects, and societies. Were not quite sure who our enemy is. No K.ennan has emerged to give us a strategy for winning without fighting or, indeed, any "strategy" at all. Instead, we are flailing about with our superbly lethal military in response to events. Lacking a strategy, we have been unable to recruit foreign partners to support one. We are now alone in Iraq. We are isolated internationally on the Israel-Palestine issue. Our NATO allies are with us in Afghanistan out of consideration for NATO, not because they think we know what we are doing. Many of them have already announced their intention to withdraw-. Pakistan is with us only because all its alternatives are worse. Saudi Arabia and America head al Qa•ida'S enemies list. The Kingdom has, however, been successfully vilified in the eyes of the American elite and public. To deal effectively with Islamic extremism, we need Muslim allies. There is none more potent that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Yet we have made no effort to seek its advice about how to address the challenges of Islamic extremism. We have not sought its help to legitimize an UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767140 Date: 08/31/2015 effective political, informational, cultural, and economic strategy for productive engagement with the Islamic world. Meanwhile, however, many things now happening in the Kingdom — like the implicit message of the king's vision for KAUST — suggest that such a partnership with Saudi Arabia and Arab nations of like mind is possible. Such a partnership could be the basis for a strategy to bring victory- in this latest "long war." The common interests on which to forge an alliance are clearlY there. Last June in Cairo, President Obama brilliantly articulated a credible basis for sound relations with the Islamic world. His vision was persuasive, but it remains a mirage, not a reality. Et is past time to implement it. An intensive effort to reset the relationship with Saudi Arabia and to craft a common antiterrorist strategy with its king would be a good place to start.

(At one point it was donating six percent of GDP to other, mostly Muslim, nations.) The desperate poverty of the pre-oil period is now, at most, a dim memory. Over the lifetime of elderly Saudis, the Kingdom's per capita income has risen about one hundred fold. Sparsely populated mud-walled villages have grown into huge air-conditioned cities with 21' Century architecture. Today, Saudis are not just literate; many have university degrees. There are more U.S. Ph.D.'s in the Saudi Cabinet than in our Cabinet and Congress put together. Despite rapid development, the strong family structure that characterized traditional Saudi society has remained largely intact. It is truly moving to see how lovingly children and grandchildren care for their elders in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia's unique social stability is reflected in the fact that almost none of its citizens emigrate, though many have second homes abroad, and a few, like Osama Binladin, have been exiled for deviant behavior. For a long time it was easier for journalists and academics to get a visa to Tibet than to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps this accounts for the near total lack of institutions and scholars that study the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 place. In the United States, 9/11 was followed by an avalanche of polemical tracts, but there are still very few books about the Kingdom that reflect its realities rather than the authors' biases or propagandistic agendas. Lack of personal familiarity with the Kingdom helps explain the repeated prediction by pundits that the Saudi monarchy is in jeopardy. Generations of such pundits have passed away. The Kingdom has not. When I was ambassador to Riyadh, I was so struck by the apparent social stasis that I briefly thought the national motto should be "progress without change." But in fact change is a constant in Saudi Arabia. Most of it comes from the top down. Not all Saudis are happy with the status quo. Some are angry about the extent to which the Kingdom is opening up and reforming. Others are impatient to get on with reform. The ranks of the latter clearly include King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Sa'ud, the current ruler. Now in his late eighties and on the throne only since 2005, he has surprised everyone with the vigor of his efforts to modernize Saudi society and to reshape its relationships with the world beyond its borders. Saudi Arabia has plenty of problems to keep the king engaged. A lot of issues derive from the peculiar religious heritage of the Saudi state. The current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (now over a century old) is the third political structure to ally the House of Sa'ud with the family of the eighteenth century religious reformer Shaykh al Islam Mohammed ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab Al-Tamimi. Ibn .Abd al-Wahhab's writings form the doctrinal basis of so-called Wahhabism, a notoriously intolerant and socially conservative form of Islam that is often confused with other reactionary religious traditions like that of the Taliban. Saudi history has involved a sustained effort by the Kingdom's rulers to persuade its religious scholars and their puritanical followers to embrace change and to open up to the outside world. This struggle has mainly been peaceful and virtually invisible to outsiders. Sometimes, however, it has engendered violence. In 1975, for example, the late King Faisal paid with his life for instituting public education for girls and for introducing television to his nation. Both as regent (from 1996 to 2005) and more recently as ruler, King Abdullah has been so careful to avoid drama in his promotion of change that it is truly startling to review the cumulative results of his leadership. Take women's issues, for example. In 2002, responsibility for girls' education was transferred from the religious authorities to the ministry of education. Women now make up 58 percent of the enrollment in Saudi universities. The new Princess Noura bint Abdulrahman University for Women, currently under construction in Riyadh, will enroll 40,000 students this fall. Female participation in the labor force is rising rapidly. Twenty-nine percent of women now work outside the home. (That is a low figure compared to our own but represents a remarkable advance for the Kingdom.) One-third of civil service positions have been reserved for women. The first woman took her seat in the Council of Ministers last year. After a bit of a kerfuffle, the Kingdom's religious scholars finally endorsed coeducation at the new King Abdullah University for Science and Technology. That was big blow to the legitimacy of gender apartheid. A Saudi friend and I are betting that it will not be long before women in the Kingdom can drive. We plan to clean up by building the separate road system this may require. (That's a joke, I hope.) UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 A word about the vision embodied in the King Abdullah University for Science and Technology. Founded by the king last September with an initial endowment of ten billion dollars, KAUST is an international, graduate-level research university. It sits in a two-billiondollar campus on the Red Sea about seventy-five miles northwest of Mecca. On one level, it is the leading element in an effort to prepare the Kingdom for a knowledge-based economy that can complement and eventually supercede the current reliance on energy exports. But on another level, it is a powerful answer to the religious zealotry that terrorist movements like al Qa'ida espouse. Let me explain. There is a broad consensus among the world's 1.6 billion Muslims that the modern age is ethically corrupt and that religious faith needs reinvigoration and renewal. Much like early Christian Protestants, many believe that the way to achieve this is to rediscover and reaffirm the values of their religion's earliest times. When he inaugurated KAUST, King Abdullah explained that he envisaged it as a reborn Bayt al-Hikma or "House of Wisdom." The original "House of Wisdom" was founded in Baghdad around 760 C.E., in the second century of the Muslim era. It was where the Arabs incorporated Greek, Indian and other foreign knowledge into Islam and conceived much of modern mathematics, astronomy, medicine, chemistry, zoology, and geography. It made Islamic civilization the global leader in science and technology. The "House of Wisdom" prospered in an age of tolerance, when Jews and Christians served alongside Muslims as ministers of government. Though destroyed by the Mongols in 1258, the knowledge it preserved and developed eventually found its way to Europe, where it sparked the Renaissance. Today, like mainstream Muslims, the extremists of al Qa'ida and related movements argue that Islam must return to its roots. But they portray early Islam as puritanical, xenophobic, intolerant, and oppressive of women. KAUST is a living rebuttal of this historical fallacy and the ideology of hatred derived from it. It was conceived as a new "House of Wisdom." It stands for the principle that Islam was founded as and can only be reborn as the religious guide to a society open to ideas from other traditions. It represents a call for return to an Islam tolerant of foreign ways, respectful of women, dedicated to the scientific study of God's handiwork, and committed to the development of new technologies to better the human condition. KAUST is as much an instrument of religious renaissance and an answer to extremism as it is an academic institution. This brings me to the issue of religious tolerance. In 2003, King Abdullah inaugurated what he called a "national forum for intellectual dialogue." This ongoing national dialogue is an unprecedented acceptance of religious diversity in the Kingdom. It marks an end to longstanding official discrimination against its Shiite minority. In 2007, King Abdullah made an historic call on the Pope in the Vatican, the first time a Muslim leader of his stature had done so. In 2008 he organized two unprecedented international interfaith conferences between Muslims, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, and others at Madrid and New York. He intends this dialogue, too, to be a continuing process. There are other major domestic reform initiatives in progress, like a complete revamping of the Saudi educational system and curriculum, experiments with elections at lower levels of government and civil society, efforts to shift the Kingdom toward reliance on alternative sources of energy, the development of a huge new petrochemical industry to complement the production UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 of energy in its primary form. Time will not permit me to describe these developments. My point is simply that there is a great deal more going on in Saudi Arabia than our press and pundits seem to realize. That said, everything is, of course, relative. Sadly, to many Saudis, the history of their nation suggests that the more religiously uptight they are, the more oil comes out of the ground. The Kingdom continues in many ways to belie God's admonition in the Holy Quran that "there can be no compulsion in religion." The open practice of religions other than Islam remains banned. The status and role of women in Saudi society is controversial and far from settled. Despite efforts at "Saudiization," foreign workers continue to dominate the employment market, while demanding a premium to compensate for the discomfort and stress that Saudi Arabia's religiously sanctioned mores impose on them. Methods of political consultation that worked in a more cohesive and less populous Saudi Arabia can no longer produce consensus. The fiscal basis of the state continues to be oil exports, and oil is a commodity whose price fluctuates unpredictably. There is, in other words, a very long list of problems for Saudis to work out in coming years. Let me turn briefly to Saudi Arabia's foreign relations before reviewing the state of our country's interaction with it. In foreign even more than domestic affairs, King Abdullah's impact has been little short of revolutionary. He has overseen the negotiated settlement of the Kingdom's long-disputed borders with all of its neighbors. He brought Saudi Arabia into the World Trade Organization, ensuring that its trade and investment activities for the first time follow internationally agreed rules. In 1982, at Beirut, he led the Arab League in an historic reversal of policy toward the Israel-Palestine issue. Saudi Arabia had long insisted that it would be the last state in the region to recognize and establish relations with Israel. At Beirut, King Abdullah committed to be the first to normalize relations with Israel upon its achievement of a mutually acceptable arrangement for coexistence with the Palestinians. He persuaded all other Arab countries to promise they would do the same. To his great frustration, Israel did not respond. Since then, hope for a two-state solution that could gain acceptance for Israel in the region has dimmed. Many of Saudi Arabia's foreign policy challenges stem from recent American policies in the region. These policies have had the effect of liberating Israel from all constraints on its settlement activities and belligerent intervention in its Arab neighbors, installing Iran as the dominant political influence in both Iraq and Lebanon, consolidating rather than eroding the Syrian-Iranian alliance, pushing Hamas into the arms of the Iranians, and raising regional tensions over Tehran's nuclear program while doing nothing effective about it. Then there is Afghanistan, where the United States now seems to be engaged in a crusade against militant Islam — one that many in the region now fear may soon extend to Yemen. Saudi counterterrorism specialists, who have a well-deserved international reputation for effectiveness, are convinced that the most efficient way to radicalize Muslim populations and encourage terrorism against the United States and its foreign policy partners is to invade, occupy, and humiliate them. They believe that the panicked militarism of the U.S. response to 9/11 was exactly what groups like al Qa'ida hoped for. They see no sign that the United States is about to abandon UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 actions and policies that metastasize extremism and stimulate terrorist reprisal against Americans and our foreign friends. No longer willing to be publicly associated with U.S. policies in the Holy Land, Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere that radicalize the region and menace the Kingdom's own security, Saudi Arabia is actively attempting to reduce its historic dependence on America. To this end, it is building new relationships with counties like China, India, and Russia, while strengthening cooperation with longstanding partners in Europe and Asia like Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and south Korea. It is not that the Kingdom has given up on the United States. As the king's scholarship program for Saudi students in this country evidences, Saudi Arabia continues to reach out and seek improved relations with America. But Saudis no longer trust us to take their interests into account or to protect them from their enemies. In December 2002, as the U.S. prepared to invade Iraq against the forcefully expressed advice of then Crown Prince Abdullah, Saudi Aramco (the world's largest oil company) quietly abandoned a decades-old subsidy for the cost of shipping oil to the North American market. Within months, China replaced the United States as the Kingdom's biggest overseas market for oil. U.S. exports have remained relatively constant as the Saudi Arabian economy has boomed, dramatically reducing our market share in our largest Middle Eastern market. Ironically, the best element of the US-Saudi relationship is now cooperation against terrorists. This is a task in which the Saudis have perforce learned to excel. American policies ensure an endless supply of angry young Muslim men in the region, including in Saudi Arabia. The United States is now said to have entered a "long war." The last time we did so, in 1947 with Soviet Communism, the enemy was obvious, George Kerman gave us a strategy, and skillful American diplomacy gave us the allies we needed to pursue it. Kennan's "long telegram" from Moscow outlined a comprehensive approach to the political, economic, cultural, and military containment of the threat to our survival and our values posed by the Soviet Union. We followed his outline. Forty years later, as Kennan forecast, without our having to go to war with the USSR, our Soviet enemy collapsed of its own infirmities. This time, our "long war" is with various Islamic extremists, tribes, sects, and societies. We're not quite sure who our enemy is. No Kennan has emerged to give us a strategy for winning without fighting or, indeed, any "strategy" at all. Instead, we are flailing about with our superbly lethal military in response to events. Lacking a strategy, we have been unable to recruit foreign partners to support one. We are now alone in Iraq. We are isolated internationally on the IsraelPalestine issue. Our NATO allies are with us in Afghanistan out of consideration for NATO, not because they think we know what we are doing. Many of them have already announced their intention to withdraw. Pakistan is with us only because all its alternatives are worse. Saudi Arabia and America head al Qa'ida's enemies list. The Kingdom has, however, been successfully vilified in the eyes of the American elite and public. To deal effectively with Islamic extremism, we need Muslim allies. There is none more potent that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Yet we have made no effort to seek its advice about how to address the challenges of Islamic extremism. We have not sought its help to legitimize an effective political, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767141 Date: 08/31/2015 informational, cultural, and economic strategy for productive engagement with the Islamic world. Meanwhile, however, many things now happening in the Kingdom — like the implicit message of the king's vision for KAUST — suggest that such a partnership with Saudi Arabia and Arab nations of like mind is possible. Such a partnership could be the basis for a strategy to bring victory in this latest "long war." The common interests on which to forge an alliance are clearly there. Last June in Cairo, President Obama brilliantly articulated a credible basis for sound relations with the Islamic world. His vision was persuasive, but it remains a mirage, not a reality. It is past time to implement it. An intensive effort to reset the relationship with Saudi Arabia and to craft a common antiterrorist strategy with its king would be a good place to start.

Embassy Paris also reached out to senior officials in the Elysee, MFA, French media and civil society at all levels to underscore the message of positive coordination with our French partners and to set the record straight on the work of the USG in Haiti. As a result, leading French officials dismissed rumors of rising diplomatic tensions between the two countries. Leading officials consistently praised the work of the Obama administration in Haiti and the need for a strong US role in the emergency response. • Embassy London's media blitz featured Ambassador Susman, who underlined the U.S. commitment to Haiti at an Embassy Martin Luther King Jr. holiday event with actor James Earl Jones; the event was covered by BBC World News (audience 270 million worldwide) and various U.K. papers. The Ambassador and the JO also spoke about Haiti on January 2022 on BBC TV 2's "Daily Politics Show," BBC Radio, the BBC TV Evening News, and other media and helped embed an ITV journalist on the USNS Comfort to help balance ITV's previously negative reporting and reached out personally to BBC producers to call attention to inaccurate reporting alleging that the U.S. military prevented Medicins Sans Frontiers from delivering aid and supplies to the airport in Port Au Prince. • With media coverage growing more critical, U.S. Ambassador to Greece Speckhard gave an interview to Ta Nea newspaper and DCM Deborah McCarthy, who previously served in Haiti, was interviewed by Real Sunday newspaper, resulting in positive stories about U.S. assistance to Haiti. Meanwhile, the PAO spoke with the Director of Elefterotypia, whose paper has run some of the most misdirected coverage of Haiti, and received a commitment to run an Embassy-produced story to counteract the misinformation.

The ship, with African officers aboard, was headed to western Africa under AFRICOM' s African Partnership Station maritime security training program when it was diverted to provide relief to Haiti. With African officers working alongside U.S. military officers to deliver assistance to Haitians, PAOs at those posts connected local reporters with the ship to conduct live interviews of the Africans for their home media, resulting in excellent media placement in all four countries. • On January 20 U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Gips gave a 10-minute live interview on Haiti with 5FM, a leading youth station with listenership of approx 800,000. The Ambassador highlighted the depth and breadth of US support and congratulated South Africa for sending emergency teams. The radio hosts told the Embassy afterward that e-mails and SMS messages were pouring into the station in support of U.S. efforts. Ambassador Gips reached out to additional audiences via broadcast media on January 21 and recorded a program via the Africa Regional Media Hub with SABC-International TV's "Rendezvous Africa" program (broadcast across the continent) and live interviews with drive-time radio programs on two national stations. • As a result of a press conference hosted by the Embassy on January 22, all major Angolan media gave positive coverage to U.S. efforts in Haiti, including Radio Nacional de Angola and the Jornal de Angola newspaper, which ran an editorial January 23 that stated: "We need to believe and let those on the ground do their work because the old tactics of criticizing who is doing something for the Haitian People just for the sake of criticizing at a moment like this is not acceptable. . . Just see the numbers of daily flights that arrive in Haiti to have an idea and quickly come to the conclusion that the possible failures and omissions do not supersede the positive and timely work done by the entities undertaking the relief efforts in Haiti."

We have begun to roll-out the new plan and so far the reaction has been reasonably positive. We have organized a set of working groups around key initiatives --- women's empowerment; cve; expanded English language training; cultural programming; youth; climate change; etc so that we can incorporate new proposals into FY2012 budget and re-direct FY 2010 and 2011 funds wherever possible and appropriate. The working groups are being chaired by senior level officers from the regional bureaus --- Bob Blake; Craig Kelly, etc. --- and are being asked to report back within 4 to 6 weeks. I'll continue to keep you posted as things move forward. The New Public Diplomacy Joseph S. Nye 2010-02-10 CAMBRIDGE — The world of traditional power politics was typically about whose military or economy would win. In today's information age, politics is also about whose "story" wins. National narratives are, indeed, a type of currency. Governments compete with each other and with other organizations to enhance their own credibility and weaken that of their opponents. Witness the contest between the government and protesters after the Iranian elections in June 2009, in which the Internet and Twitter played crucial roles, or the recent controversy between Google and China. Reputation has always mattered in world politics, but credibility has become crucial because of a "paradox of plenty." When information is plentiful, the scarce resource is attention. Under the new conditions, a soft sell may, more than ever, prove more effective than a hard sell. For example, the relative independence of the BBC, sometimes a source of consternation to British governments, has paid rich dividends in credibility, as illustrated by this account of Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete's day: "he rises at dawn, listens to the BBC World Service, then scans the Tanzanian press." Skeptics who treat the term "public diplomacy" as a mere euphemism for propaganda miss the point. Simple propaganda is counterproductive as public diplomacy. Nor is public diplomacy merely a public-relations campaign. Public diplomacy also involves building long-term relationships that create an enabling environment for government policies. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767159 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767159 Date: 08/31/2015 The contribution of direct government information to long-term cultural relationships varies with three dimensions or stages of public diplomacy, and all three are important. The first and most immediate dimension is daily communications, which involves explaining the context of domestic and foreign-policy decisions. This dimension also involves preparation for dealing with crises. If there is a vacuum in information after an event, others will rush in to fill it. The second dimension is strategic communication, which develops a set of simple themes, much as a political or advertising campaign does. While the first dimension is measured in hours and days, the second occurs over weeks, months, and even years. The third dimension of public diplomacy is the development of lasting relationships with key individuals over many years or even decades, through scholarships, exchanges, training, seminars, conferences, and access to media channels. These programs develop what the American journalist Edward R. Murrow once called the crucial "last three feet" — face-to-face communications, with the enhanced credibility that reciprocity creates. But even the best advertising cannot sell an unpopular product. A communications strategy cannot work if it cuts against the grain of policy. Actions speak louder than words. All too often, policymakers treat public diplomacy as a bandage that can be applied after damage is done by other instruments. For example, China tried to enhance its soft power by successfully staging the 2008 Olympics, but its domestic simultaneous crackdown in Tibet — and subsequent repression in Xinxiang and arrests of human rights lawyers — undercut its gains. Great powers try to use culture and narrative to create soft power that promotes their advantage, but they do not always understand how to do it. Critics in the United States complain that the over-militarization of foreign policy undercuts its credibility. Instead, they advocate diplomacy "on steroids," staffed by diplomats trained in new media, cross-cultural communications, granular local knowledge, and networks of contacts with underrepresented groups. The centralized mass-media approach to public diplomacy still plays an important role. Governments need to correct daily misrepresentations of their policies, as well as to try to convey a longer-term strategic message. The main strength of the mass-media approach is its audience reach and ability to generate public awareness and set the agenda. But its weakness is its inability to influence how the message is perceived in different cultural settings. The sender knows what she says, but not always what the targets hear. Cultural barriers are apt to distort what is heard. Networked communications, on the other hand, can take advantage of two-way communications and peer-topeer relations to overcome cultural differences. This type of decentralization and flexibility is difficult for governments to accomplish, given their central accountability structures. The greater flexibility of non-governmental organizations in using networks has given rise to what some call "the new public diplomacy," which is no longer confined to messaging, promotion campaigns, or even direct governmental contacts with foreign publics serving foreign-policy purposes. It is also about building relationships with civil-society actors in other countries and facilitating networks between non-governmental parties at home and abroad. In this approach to public diplomacy, government policy is aimed at promoting and participating in, rather than controlling, such cross-border networks. Indeed, too much government control, or even the appearance of it, can undercut the credibility that such networks are designed to engender. The evolution of public diplomacy from one-way communications to a two-way dialogue treats publics as co-creators of meaning and communication. Power in a global information age, more than ever, will include a soft dimension of attraction as well as the hard dimensions of coercion and payment. Combining these dimensions effectively is called "smart power."

Public diplomacy is an important tool in the arsenal of smart power, but smart public diplomacy requires an understanding of credibility, self-criticism, and the role of civil society in generating soft power. If it degenerates into propaganda, public diplomacy not only fails to convince, but can undercut soft power. Instead, it must remain a two-way process, because soft power depends, first and foremost, upon understanding the minds of others.

More than a million spectators gathered before the Capitol on a frosty January afternoon to witness the inauguration of Barad< Obama, who promised in his campaign to change Washington's mercenary culture of lobbyists, special interest influence and backroom deals. But within a few months of being sworn in, the President and his top aides were sitting down with leaders from the pharmaceutical industry to hash out a deal that they thought would make health care reform possible. Over the following months, pharmaceutical industry lobbyists and executives met with top White House aides dozens of times to hammer out a deal that would secure industry support for the administration's health care reform agenda in exchange for the White House abandoning key elements of the president's promises to reform the pharmaceutical industry. They flooded Congress with campaign contributions, and hired dozens of former Capitol Hill insiders to push their case. How they did it--pieced together from news accounts, disclosure forms including lobbying reports and Federal Election Commission records, White House visitor logs and the sghedu! ..S,:::in. Max,Baucus releases yoiun:tarily--is a testament to how ingrained the grip of special interests remains in Washington. In the 2008 campaign, Obama declared his intention to include all stakeholders as he sought to reform the nation's health care system, but also supported key qemocr.atic health reform uok,sies. Among these were several that targeted the pharmaceutical industry: Allowing re-importation of drugs from first world countries with lower drug prices and providing Medicare with negotiating authority over prescription drug prices in the recently enacted Part D program. These weren't just promises, Obama had already voted for both of them as a senator in 2007. (Rdl Call Vote 132 and Roll call Vo.t.c.-) 150.) Set to carry out this agenda were two Capitol Hill veterans, schooled in the monied Washington culture, chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina. Emanuel was a former fundraiser, Clinton administration official, investment banker and member of the Democratic leadership in Congress. Messina was the former campaign manager UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767164 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767164 Date: 08/31/2015 and chief of staff to the powerful Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus. Both were known for their unparalleled legislative abilities. Because of Obama's decision to develop a plan operating through the legislative process, members of Congress also played key roles. Early on, the pharmaceutical companies were told to deal directly with Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Bpuf.-4:s. Baucus would be the vehicle for the deal worked out behind the scenes by the White House and PhRMA. Central to this effort was PhRMA president, CEO and top lobbyist Billy Tauzin, a longtime Democratic member of Congress who switched party affiliations after Republicans gained control of Congress in 1994. By switching parties Tauzin was able to maintain his influence and even rose to be Chairman of the House Committee on Energy & Commerce. Tauzin became the poster child of Washington's mercenary culture. He crafted a bill to provide prescription drug access to Medicare recipients, one that provided major concessions to the pharmaceutical industry. Medicare would not be able to negotiate for lower prescription drug costs and reimportation of drugs from first world countries would not be allowed. A few months after the bill passed, Tauzin announced that he was retiring from Congress and would be taking a job helming PhRMA for a salary of $2 million. Tauzin's job change became fodder for a campaign ad that then presidential candidate Barack Obama ran in the spring of 2008 simply titled ".Biliy." It featured the candidate, sleeves rolled up, talking to a salon of gasping Americans about the ways of Washington. "The pharmaceutical industry wrote into the prescription drug plan that Medicare could not negotiate with drug companies. And you know what, the chairman of the committee, who pushed the law through, went to work for the pharmaceutical industry making $2 million a year." The screen fades to black to inform the viewer that, "Barack Obama is the only candidate who refuses Washington lobbyist money," while the candidate continues his lecture, "Imagine that. That's an example of the same old game playing in Washington. You know, I don't want to learn how to play the game better, I want to put an end to the game playing." Aiding PhRMA in their outreach to Congress would be a squadron of lobbyists to push their health care reform priorities. Over the course of 2009, the drug industry trade group sdeft:tow::!i: _ 520 tniliion on in house and hired lobbyists. Aside from PhRMA's massive in-house lobbying operation, the trade group hired 48 outside lobbying firms. The total number of lobbyists working for PhRMA in 2009 reached 165. Some 137 of those 165 lobbyists representing PhRMA were former employees of either the legislative or executive branches. Of these dozens were former congressional staffers including two former chiefs of staff to Max Baucus. According to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, drug makers coptr.ibu■ed sums to ....:ongressional ecii-om.lttee.s during the same period--from January to the end of October (4thquarter numbers are still being totaled), industry political action committees, employees and their family members flooded lawmakers with over $8 million. Those contributions tilted heavily to Democrats over Republicans by a 57 to 42 percent margin--the first time in any election cycle going back to 1990, the first year that the Center for Responsive Politics began tracking industry giving, that Democrats were so favored. Given their majorities on Capitol Hill, and the new President's intention to reform America's health care system, the new tilt was perhaps not surprising. On March 5, the White House a Tee.tiilfa....ivitfi.rnnic!r_nealth care induLd.er.s to try to bring them to the table and see what could be done to gain their support. In attendance were Billy Tauzin, president, CEO and top lobbyist for PhRMA, Pfizer CEO Jeff Kindler, America's Health Care Plans (AHIP) Chairman Karen lgnani, Tom Donohue of the Chamber of Commerce and Robert Wood Johnson Foundations' Rise Lavizzomourey.

In the interview he touted it as an "optimistic plan", acknowledging that the industry did have a few problems but was glad to have a chance to discuss these. Spme were duri?0,7 rognnd,,td by this apparent change of heart on behalf of an industry long adverse to health care reforms. On April 15, Jim Messina and Jon Selib, chief of staff to Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus, convened a meeting at the headquarters of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) with leaders of organized labor and health care groups, including PhRMA. At the meeting, the groups decided to form two nonprofit entities to promote reform efforts, Healthy Economy Now and Americans for Stable Quality Care, that would be almost entftelv funoed pj. PhRMA. The two groups spent $24 million on their advertising campaigns; the contract to produce and place ads went to White House Senior Advisor David AKPD, which owed Axelrod $2 million. In the next month, CEO's from pharmaceutical companies would meet with Baucus and administration officials at least four times. These talks preceded a major public event at the White House, one critical to its strategy to promote health care reform. On May 11, PhRMA and other trade industry groups piedaed cost ,..-v_itting_measures to the White House that would save, they claimed, upwards of $2 trillion over the next decade. President Obama announced the deal in the State Dining Room, flanked by leaders of the various trade groups; the administration followed up with a media blitz in the press and on the White House Web site. The next day, Healthy Economy Now's PhRMA funded ad campaign ran their first advertisement in support of the health care reform process calling for the government to finally "fix" the nation's health care cost problems. While many elements of the $2 trillion cost cutting pledge fell apart, the drug industry remained committed to the process in the hopes that they could ultimately win out and defeat the provisions they most feared in closed-door meetings with the White House: The first occurred on June 2. White House visitor logs show PhRMA's top executives, including Tauzin, and industry CEOs met with Sarah Fenn from the White House Office of Health Care Reform. On the same day, the publicly available UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767164 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767164 Date: 08/31/2015 schedule of Senator Max Baucus shows Tauzin and the same industry CEOs met the Senate Finance Committee chairman. What ultimately resulted from these coordinated meetings would be revealed by Baucus on June 20. In a press release featuring a statement by Tauzin, Baucus revealed that the pharmaceutical industry had accepted $80 billion in cost cutting measures to be included in the Senate Finance Committee version of the bill. According to news re_gorts, Baucus initially proposed $100 billion in cost cutting measures, but the executives and lobbyists meeting on June 2 were able to win the lower figure. The terms of the initial cost-cutting deal included $30 billion go directly towards closing the "donut hole" in Medicare prescription drug coverage. The "donut hole" is a term for the gap in coverage that occurs within the Medicare prescription drug coverage. For those purchasing prescription drugs through the Medicare program coverage cuts off at $2,700 spent and does not pick back up again until $6,154 is spent by the participant. The amount proposed in the deal; 50 percent coverage for drugs within the coverage gap, however, would not completely close the "donut hole." In Baucus' press release, Tauzin is quoted as saying, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and, working together, we can make this hope for a better tomorrow a reality today." This "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity also extended to the pharmaceutical industry's ability to blunt the long-term Democratic agenda of lowering prescription drug prices through Medicare negotiations, re-importation and quicker release of generics onto the market. After making such a grand statement of support through cost cutting proposals it was time for the pharmaceutical industry to finally force the White House and Democrats to take certain chips off the table. Baucus proceeded with a_pia,n c.c)r.ivene.a bicartisap rimuo in an effort to craft the bill desired by the White House. These participants included Democrats Kent Conrad and Jeff Bingaman and Republicans Chuck Grassley, Mike Enzi and Olympia Snowe. Baucus' decision and the need to solidify deals with groups like the pharmaceutical industry - which were reliant on Baucus producing a bill - slowed down the legislative process making it impossible for Congress to meet the White House's announced iltuouet reces§ dee&rie for passing health care reform. Soon after, PhRMA's big guns and industry lobbyists paid the White House another visit on July 7 and this time met with Rehm Emanuel and Jim Messina (Baucus' chief of staff Jon Selib is also listed in White House visitor logs for this meeting). In August, The Huffirytorj. !Dosi',.--; Ryan Grim reported on an internal memo that was drafted at that meeting that outlined the policies that would not be allowed into any final version of health care reform. These included Medicare prescription drug negotiations, drug re-importation, and the lowering of prices for drugs available through Medicare Part D and Part B. The deal would be $80 billion in cost cutting and absolutely no more. *** While the $80 billion deal was cut with Baucus' committee, other congressional committees continued to mark-up their own versions of health care reform without the knowledge that the White House was relying on Baucus to produce the final product. In the House of Representatives, the House Energy & Commerce Committee leveled a direct threat to the $80 billion deal. Energy & Commerce Chair Henry Waxman sought to include all of the provisions that PhRMA had gotten the White House and Baucus to cut out of the reform bill. These included drug reimportation. Medicare negotiating power and speedier release of generics to the market. According to previous analysis of the measures proposed by the committee, these measures would have totaled hundreds of billions in cost cuts, far exceeding the $80 billion cap agreed to by the White House, Baucus and PhRMA. The cost cutting measures passed in the Energy & Commerce bill spooked the board of PhRMA, which included all of the CEOs involved in the deal-cutting meetings with the White House and Baucus. The board pressured Tauzin to go public with the deal to ensure that the White House would recognize it and not renege. On August 4, the Los Ancg•3les•Firrief-, :- , in an exclusive report, featured quotes from Tauzin claiming that a deal between the White House and PhRMA existed and that, as Tauzin put it, "The White House blessed it." Tom Hamburger wrote in the article, "For his part, Tauzin said he had not only received the White House pledge to forswear Medicare drug price bargaining, but also a separate promise not to pursue another proposal Obama supported during the campaign: importing cheaper drugs from Canada or Europe." The White House's Jim Messina later confirmed Tauzin's claim, stating, "The president encouraged this approach ... He wanted to bring all the parties to the table to discuss health insurance reform." Democratic lawmakers were furious. Rep. Raul Grijaiva, chairman of the Progressive Caucus, asked, "Are industry groups going to be the ones at the table who get the first big piece of the pie and we just fight over the crust?" *** On September 7, Baucus' bill made a private circulation on the Hill; pharmaceutical industry cost-cutting did not exceed $80 billion. Five days later, the New York :limes reported that PhRMA planned to spend up to $150 million in an advertising blitz in support of Baucus' bill. The Times noted that the ad spending "...would be a follow-up to the deal that drug makers struck in June with Mr. Baucus and the White House." On September 16, Baucus released the full text of his les.j.islation to the public. t The White House, PhRMA and Baucus still had to fight a few battles to keep the deal intact. The key amendment targeting the PhRMA deal in committee mark-up came from Sen. Bill Nelson from Florida, which has one of the largest Medicare participant populations in the nation. The pull of constituent needs clearly put Bill Nelson into a position to push for further cost cutting in Medicare prescription drug pricing. His target: closing the "donut hole" completely. Nelson claimed that his amendment would onerate $106 billion in revenue, or from PhRMA's perspective increase their cost-cutting to $186 billion. That would be unacceptable to PhRMA, to Baucus, to the White House and to the pharmaceutical industry who had made the deal. Other Senate Democrats, Tom Carper and Robert Menendez voted with Republicans and Baucus on the committee to defeat the amendment. It is little surprise the Carper's Delaware is home to UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767164 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767164 Date: 08/31/2015 AstraZeneca and Menendez' New Jersey is home to Merck and Bristol-Myers-Squibb, all of which lobbied for the $80 billion cap. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid introduced the final bill, with the cap in place, on November 19. Debate began on Dec. 3, and with it come one more attempt by members to change the terms of the deal. Senator Byron Dorgan introduced an amendment that would allow for drug re-importation, but as the date for voting drew near, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) released a letter objecting to the proposal that echoed pharmaceutical industry talking points: "...as currently written, the resulting structure would be logistically challenging to implement and resource intensive. In addition, there are significant safety concerns." Dorgan's amendment was defeated with numerous Democrats previously in support of reimportation switching to "no" votes. On Christmas Eve, the bill passed the Senate with the PhRMA deal fully intact. *** New Year's Eve passed with no further action on health care reform. Public opinion regarding the health care reform bill had been slipping throughout 2009. It reached a fulcrum in the special election to replace the deceased senator Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts on January 19, 2010. Newly minted senator Scott Brown campaigned that he would be the senator to provide Republicans with the votes to filibuster the final health care reform bill. Democrats ran for cover. Despite having the largest majorities of any party since the 1970s, Democrats put the brakes on their agenda, particularly health care reform. in the end, the pharmaceutical industry's support for health care reform would be left up in the air. After spending $100 million in advertising in support of legislation that Tauzin and key executives hoped would be a windfall for the pharmaceutical industry, the legislative process had flat-lined. In February, the board of PhRMA, split over the deal cut by Tauzin, pushedjauzin to_res..i.s., his .post. In an interview with Diane Sawvqf., President Obama owed up to failures in the process of passing health care reform, "[The health care debate as it unfolded legitimately raised concerns not just among my opponents, but also amongst supporters that we just don't know what's going on ... And it's an ugly process and it looks like there are a bunch of back room deals."

The two groups spent $24 million on their advertising campaigns; the contract to produce and place ads went to White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod's former firm to the White House that would save, they claimed, upwards of $2 trillion over the next decade. President Obama announced the deal in the State Dining Room, flanked by leaders of the various trade groups; the administration followed up with a media blitz in the press and on the White House Web site . The next day, Healthy Economy Now's PhRMA funded ad campaign ran their first advertisement in support of the health care reform process calling for the government to finally "fix" the nation's health care cost problems. While many elements of the $2 trillion cost cutting pledge fell apart, the drug industry remained committed to the process UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767167 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767167 Date: 08/31/2015 in the hopes that they could ultimately win out and defeat the provisions they most feared in closed-door meetings with the White House. The first occurred on June 2. White House visitor logs show PhRMA's top executives, including Tauzin, and industry CEOs met with Sarah Fenn from the White House Office of Health Care Reform. On the same day, the publicly available schedule of Senator Max Baucus shows Tauzin and the same industry CEOs met the Senate Finance Committee chairman. What ultimately resulted from these coordinated meetings would be revealed by Baucus on June 20. In a press release featuring a statement by Tauzin, Baucus revealed that the pharmaceutical industry had accepted $80 billion in cost cutting measures to be included in the Senate Finance Committee version of the bill. According to news reports , Baucus initially proposed $100 billion in cost cutting measures, but the executives and lobbyists meeting on June 2 were able to win the lower figure. The terms of the initial cost-cutting deal included $30 billion go directly towards closing the "donut hole" in Medicare prescription drug coverage. The "donut hole" is a term for the gap in coverage that occurs within the Medicare prescription drug coverage. For those purchasing prescription drugs through the Medicare program coverage cuts off at $2,700 spent and does not pick back up again until $6,154 is spent by the participant. The amount proposed in the deal, 50 percent coverage for drugs within the coverage gap, however, would not completely close the "donut hole." In Baucus' press release, Tauzin is quoted as saying, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and, working together, we can make this hope for a better tomorrow a reality today." This "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity also extended to the pharmaceutical industry's ability to blunt the long-term Democratic agenda of lowering prescription drug prices through Medicare negotiations, re-importation and quicker release of generics onto the market. After making such a grand statement of support through cost cutting proposals it was time for the pharmaceutical industry to finally force the White House and UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767167 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767167 Date: 08/31/2015 Democrats to take certain chips off the table. Baucus proceeded with a plan to convene a bipartisan group in an effort to craft the bill desired by the White House. These participants included Democrats Kent Conrad and Jeff Bingaman and Republicans Chuck Grassley, Mike Enzi and Olympia Snowe. Baucus' decision and the need to solidify deals with groups like the pharmaceutical industry - which were reliant on Baucus producing a bill - slowed down the legislative process making it impossible for Congress to meet the White House's announced August recess deadline for passing health care reform. Soon after, PhRMA's big guns and industry lobbyists paid the White House another visit on July 7 and this time met with Rahm Emanuel and Jim Messina (Baucus' chief of staff Jon Selib is also listed in White House visitor logs for this meeting). In August, The Huffington Post's Ryan Grim reported on an internal memo that was drafted at that meeting that outlined the policies that would not be allowed into any final version of health 'care reform. These included Medicare prescription drug negotiations, drug re-importation, and the lowering of prices for drugs available through Medicare Part D and Part B. The deal would be $eo billion in cost cutting and absolutely no more. *** While the $80 billion deal was cut with Baucus' committee, other congressional committees continued to mark-up their own versions of health care reform without the knowledge that the White House was relying on Baucus to produce the final product. In the House of Representatives, the House Energy & Commerce Committee leveled a direct threat to the $80 billion deal. Energy & Commerce Chair Henry Waxman sought to include all of the provisions that PhRMA had gotten the White House and Baucus to cut out of the reform bill. These included drug reimportation, Medicare negotiating power and speedier release of generics to the market. According to previous analysis of the measures proposed by the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767167 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767167 Date: 08/31/2015 committee, these measures would have totaled hundreds of billions in cost cuts, far exceeding the $80 billion cap agreed to by the White House, Baucus and PhRMA. The cost cutting measures passed in the Energy & Commerce bill spooked the board of PhRMA, which included all of the CEOs involved in the deal-cutting meetings with the White House and Baucus. The board pressured Tauzin to go public with the deal to ensure that the White House would recognize it and not renege. On August 4, the Los Angeles Times :es.iatlmes.coa-1/2009,iaug/04 / iaL.Ion/na: , in an exclusive report, featured quotes from Tauzin claiming that a deal between the White House and PhRMA. existed and that as Tauzin put it, "The White House blessed it." Tom Hamburger wrote in the article, "For his part, Tauzin said he had not only received the White House pledge to forswear Medicare drug price bargaining, but also a separate promise not to pursue another proposal Obama supported during the campaign: importing cheaper drugs from Canada or Europe." The White House's Jim Messina later confirmed Tauzin's claim, stating, "The president encouraged this approach ... He wanted to bring all the parties to the table to discuss health insurance reform." Democratic lawmakers were furious. Rep. Raul Grijalva, chairman of the Progressive Caucus, asked to the public. The White House, PhRMA and Baucus still had to fight a few battles to keep the deal intact. The key amendment targeting the PhRMA deal in committee mark-up came from Sen. Bill Nelson from Florida, which has one of the largest Medicare participant populations in the nation. The pull of constituent needs clearly put Bill Nelson into a position to push for further cost cutting in Medicare prescription drug pricing. His target: closing the "donut hole" completely. Nelson claimed that his amendment would generate $106 billion in revenue <4ttp://www,politioo.comilivepuise/0909Ne:Lson PhRMA amendment_ , or from PhRMA's perspective increase their cost-cutting to $186 billion. That would be unacceptable to PhRMA, to Baucus, to the White House and to the pharmaceutical industry who had made the deal. Other Senate Democrats, Tom Carper and Robert Menendez voted with Republicans and Baucus on the committee to defeat the amendment . It is little surprise the Carper's Delaware is home to AstraZeneca and Menendez' New Jersey is home to Merck and Bristol-Myers-Squibb, all • of which lobbied for the $80 billion cap. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid introduced the final bill, with the cap in place, on November 19. Debate began on Dec. 3, and with it come one more attempt by members to change the terms of the deal. Senator Byron Dorgan introduced an amendment that would allow for drug re-importation, but as the date for voting drew near, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) released a letter objecting to the proposal that echoed pharmaceutical industry talking points: ...as currently written, the resulting structure would be logistically challenging to implement and resource intensive. In addition, there are significant safety concerns." Dorgan's amendment was defeated with numerous Democrats previously in support of reimportation switching to "no" votes.

Public opinion regarding the health care reform bill had been slipping throughout 2009. It reached a fulcrum in the special election to replace the deceased. senator Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts on January 19, 2010. Newly minted senator Scott Brown campaigned that he would be the senator to provide Republicans with the votes to filibuster the final health care reform bill. Democrats ran for cover. Despite having the largest majorities of any party since the 1970s, Democrats put the brakes on their agenda, particularly health care reform. In the end, the pharmaceutical industry's support for health care reform would be left up in the air . After spending $100 million in advertising in support of legislation that Tauzin and key executives hoped would be a windfall for the pharmaceutical industry, the legislative process had flat-lined. In February, the board of PhRMA, split over the deal cut by Tauzin, pushed Tauzin to resign his post 7,-in-limbo-top-drug: In an interview with Diane Sawyer conc. rns , President Obama owed up to failures in the process of passing health care reform, 'Tribe health care debate as it unfolded legitimately raised concerns not just among my opponents, but also amongst supporters that we just don't know what's going on ... And it's an ugly process and it looks like there are a bunch of back room deals."

Clemons posted this piece on his dinner with Petraeus, (it's replete with a lot of punditry), but he told me more detail about his attitude and interest. Among other things, Petraeus recounted a joke about Gates' speech at the Alfalfa Club dinner that Petraeus couldn't be there because he was in Iowa. Petraeus didn't tell that story to disdain the possibility. He smiled and watched closely for reaction from others. S February 13, 2010 Steve Cemons Publisher of "The Washington Note" „, • .

General David Petraeus and his wife Holly. These sorts of discussions are nearly always off the record -- but the fact that they happened is not off limits. Petraeus was not in uniform but rather wore what looked to me to be a brand new, perfectly tailored dark suit. I joked to him that if I Twilt.--s,rgc, that out of two dozen or so times I had seen Petraeus that this was the first time I'd seen him out of uniform, an ice cold shudder of fear would spread quickly through some political circles in DC. In August of 2007, I wroteoiece, stating that folks should keep an eye out for the possibility that General Petraeus might run for President in 2012. In April 2008, Steven Lee Myers wrote a solid New York Times follow up titled "The General" referencing my earlier take. Recently, legendary newsman Ai:nai4d de 13orchgave resuscitated the topic of an Eisenhoweresque future for the counterinsurgency guru in his piece, "President ?etraeus7" Petraeus was recently named as one of Foreign Policy magazine's tip 100 ttzal thinkers, and as U.S. News & World Reports "Washington Whispers" notes, he is going to be speaking in May 2010 at the annual American Enterprise Institute dinner receiving the Irving Kristol Award. In January 2010, Public Policy Pollin.q revealed that while Obama held a ten point lead over a potential wild card race against Petraeus, the General had some strengths. But the pollsters also noted that many in the American public just didn't know enough yet about Petraeus to form an opinion: Finally our blog readers voted for David Petraeus as our wild card Republican this month and his numbers come out as a mixed bag. He has the largest deficit against Obama, trailing 44-34. But at +13 his net favorability is better than the President or any of the other Republicans we tested. The problem for UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767171 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767171 Date: 08/31/2015 him is that the numbers break down 25/12- 63% of voters in the country don't know enough about him to have formed an opinion. Who knows if Petraeus would actually have any interest in going into politics, but if he did he would be introducing himself to many voters for the first time. President Obama himself, according to what some of his aides have reported to me, is quite taken with David Petraeus and respects his approach and thinking. Petraeus has also been respectful of the President -- although when pushed at a recent forum about how he might react to a Presidential decision on Afghanistan that the General might not have liked, Petraeus offered a cryptic rather than clear response. (see above video) At the "First Draft of History" meeting sponsored by the Atlantic Monthly/Atlantic Media Group, the Newseum, and the Aspen Institute; Petraeus when asked if he would support the President no matter what the result of the strategic review on Afghanistan responded that he "would continue to give the President the best professional military advice he could." Contrast that with Defense Secretary Robert Gates resoonOinato_the..saest.ipr.j., "We will salute and execute [the President's] decisions faithfully and to the best of our ability." But after spending an evening with General Petraeus and watching him closely for a number of years, there is no way that this intelligent leader -- with whom I have some disagreements but respect -- could be comfortable with the Tea Party takeover of the Republican political machine. There is always the possibility that a core of reasonable Republicans like Michael Bloomberg, James Baker, Olympia Snowe, Chuck Hegel, Alan Simpson, John Whitehead, Peter Peterson, Rita Hauser and others will try to rekindle classic Republican sensibilities by fighting to re-hijack their party back in an Eisenhower-like campaign with Petraeus at the lead. Remember that Eisenhower clinched the Republican nomination by promising to be the President who though he knew war would end the Korean War. Petraeus knows Afghanistan and Iraq -- and though it seems hard to envision today could be the kind of leader promising to end those wars if Obama proves unable to do so. But there is another option that intrigues me and seems more realistic than imagining the iconic David Petraeus running for President -- and that is his running for Vice President. I think Vice President Joe Biden has done an outstanding job and of all the big guns in the Obama White House, Biden has done the best job of outperforming expectations. He had given President Obama much needed counsel, not always taken regrettably, but counsel that Obama needed to show the American public he was getting. Biden has been the key agent behind the scenes in moving Iraq's elections forward. He has scored a lot of wins -- not reported -- in the nuclear/WMD controls arena. Biden has worked with Gates in stabilizing an awkward and complex relationship with Russia -- and his counterpoints on the Afghanistan surge, in my view, remain compelling. But Biden is going to have to find a way to hold his spot in 2012 because others are going to be gunning for it. As I look at it now, Hillary Clinton who has now said that she will not do more than one term as Secretary of State would be a natural candidate for the Obama VP slot. Her franchise is not completely in the control of the Obama team yet, but moving Hillary closer to the White House (although her private home on Whitehaven Street is actually a couple of hundred feet closer to the White House than the VP residence at the Naval Observatory) would finalize Obarna's takeover of all the key political franchises in the Democratic Party -- starting with Daley's machine, Deschle's machine, Kennedy's machine, Edwards' machine, and then the Clintons'. But General David Petraeus, in his business suit, lurks out there. Obama seems to be concerned about looking like he is weak on national security. The Republicans -- at Cheney's constant goading (and now Sarah Palin's) -- seem to want to continue to play politics through fear-mongering. Obama could neutralize the possibility that he faces a Republican party challenge by David Petraeus by inviting the General on to the 2012 ticket as a Democrat. Crazy? Perhaps. But inviting potential rivals into his tent is becoming a standard Obama trademark -- much as he did by appointing Republican Governor of Utah and former G.W. Bush administration Deputy US Trade Representative Jon Huntsman, Jr. to serve as US Ambassador to the People's Republic of China. And get this, we have just learned that David Petraeus has not voted since 2002 -- not because he doesn't care to vote -but reportedly because he wants to keep his eventual political options and political loyalties open. This is a soldier for whom all options are on the table and who is keeping his powder dry. My hunch is that whether Obama sticks with Vice President Biden or pivots to someone else, Petraeus will be on the short list of those considered. -- Steve Clemons publishes the popular political blog, The Washington Note.

U.S. Trusts Anti Drug Fight Will Continue Diplomat points out that it is difficult to explain the success of the fight against drug trafficking with the rising death toll. Jose Diaz Briseno. Washington.- U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual dismissed the risk that the current fight against drug trafficking in Mexico lets up during the 2012 presidential election, noting there is a consensus [in Mexico] that the fight must continue. During a visit to Washington to participate in the meeting of U.S. ambassadors in the hemisphere, Pascual assured Mexican media that he does expect a normal debate about the different components of the antidrug strategy. "I don't see the risk that some have pointed out about the possibility that perhaps with the 2012 [presidential] elections the fight against drug trafficking will become lax," said the diplomat who presented his credentials in October. Pascual, former vice president of the Brookings Institution before he went to Mexico, highlighted his discussions with representatives of the PAN, PRI and PRD. "I have spoken with representatives of the three main political parties and all have reaffirmed that this fight against drug traffickers must continue," said the U.S. ambassador in the meeting with the Mexican media. "We will see political debates about tactics and ways to design the [antidrug] strategy and that is fair. Anywhere you go there must be a political debate about the most effective ways to lead public policy," he said referring to what is expected to happen in 2012. Asked whether he believed that drug trafficking could directly influence the presidential election, Pascual stated that the three parties acknowledge that such threat is present in the municipal level. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767183 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767183 Date: 08/31/2015 "It's the same whether you talk to the PAN, the PRI, or the PRD, I think there is a widespread acknowledgement that what organized crime aims for is to take control at the municipal level to keep their 'black businesses' that will never bring about anything good," he said. According to Pascual, politicians in Mexico who propose to negotiate with drug traffickers are a minority, but he warned that negotiating would only lead to more infiltration of authorities by criminals. "Obviously we have heard from time to time people suggesting that the best thing to do is to strike a deal with [drug traffickers] and compromise. But those are exceptions," Pascual pointed out during the meeting that was conducted in Spanish. In June 2009, the press scooped an audio file where the then candidate and current mayor of San Pedro Garza Garcia Mauricio Fernandez allegedly said he was willing to negotiate with the Beltran Leyva cartel. "If we compromise we will see more infiltration and that is not a path we can follow," said Pascual about the possibility of negotiating. The U.S. envoy, born in Cuba in 1961, recognized that in Mexico, one of the paradoxes most difficult to explain is saying the antidrug policy is successful when violence is still raging. "One of the hardest things is explaining in Mexico how the [antidrug] policy is going forward and being successful when violence is increasing." Pascual admitted, "And it is a superficial contradiction that is hard for everyone to understand." However, the American diplomat noted that even if the Mexican government stopped targeting drug trafficking organizations, violence would continue because cartels would still fight among them, and therefore there is no other option but to push forward. With the initiative for the FY2011 budget around the corner, Pascual avoided commenting on the amount the U.S. will offer Mexico for antidrug support in the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767183 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767183 Date: 08/31/2015 second phase of the Merida Plan [sic] after the $1,351 million in the past three years.

The end of Justice Jim. Sid I thought your designation of Iran as a near military government was very good. Gary Sick has been arguing that it is in fact a military government. Of course this is predicate for targeted sanctions. There is a consistent thread in the challenges we face from a host of authoritarian (and totalitarian) military governments, sometimes loosely allied on an ad hoc basis--Iran, China, Myanmar, Venezuela, Cuba. This is nothing like the Cold War, but it's an idea worth exploring, not publicly discussing, but thinking about. On Justice Jim, a couple of thoughts: I wish his tragic end were as politically conclusive as that of Edmund Ruffin, the Southern fire-eater and secessionist who was given the honor of firing the first shot at Fort Sumter and upon hearing of Appomattox carefully sat himself down in his grand Charleston house and blew his brains out with a shotgun. Unfortunately, the evil Justice Jim did lives on--in the wild bigotry against Obama and even through the Supreme Court decision in the case of Citizens United, a group he helped galvanize to circulate the Whitewater hoax.

"They lost the narrative," Podesta told the Financial Times. "They lost the perspective of how all of the activity they were engaged in was knit together." In a video interview posted on the newspaper's website Monday, Podesta also bemoaned the present political climate in Washington and expressed frustration with inability of the White House and Congress to advance the president's agenda. "Change is hard in America. We've all learned that over the last year," said the former White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton. "There is real frustration amongst independent voters, and anger amongst independent voters." Voters have become discouraged, Podesta said, by seeing "no spirit in which people were having a UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767194 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767194 Date: 08/31/2015 reasonable conversation" during the health care debate and from "the last twist and turns on health care, the special deals that had to be made in the Senate to get the 60 votes." Asked how he would rate the health of the American political system, he responded simply: "Sucks." "It feels like a very frustrated country, a country frustrated with the inability of Washington to do anything to get the economy going again, to get jobs going again," he said. "And I think that there is tremendous anger [and] frustration about the inability to improve people's lives." Republicans also have shown little ability to raise the level of debate, Podesta suggested. Obama's "not dealing with the party of Lincoln. He's dealing with the party of Palin," Podesta said, referring to Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who was the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee. 0 2010 Capitol News Company, LLC UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767194 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767197 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: sbwhoeop Wednesday, February 3, 2010 7:59 PM H: Game back on track NI.

S Replace Rahm by Leslie H. Gelb February 15, 2010 I 10:48pm I ....7IKristoffer Tripplaar / SPA President Obama desperately needs a sweeping staff shakeup to save his presidency. Leslie H. Gelb on why he must reassign Rahm, dump Larry Summers, and get rid of National Security adviser Jim Jones. The negative, even dismissive, talk about the Obama White House has reached a critical point. The president must change key personnel now. Unless he speedily sets up a new team, he will be reduced to a speechmaker. It's mostly a matter of relocating the Chicago and campaign crowd who surround the Oval Office and inserting people with proven records of getting things done in Washington and the world. To be fair, it's not clear whether the bad judgments on priorities, practicalities, and steadiness come from Mr. Obama or his White House team. Maybe he overpowers them in discussions, or maybe he gives them a role in policymaking far beyond their experience in that realm. Unless you're there, you don't know. But Mr. Obama is the president, and except for the right-wing crazies, most Americans still recognize his great talents and promise. It is he who's got to be helped. So it is they who've got to go. It is he who's got to be helped. So it is they who've got to go. One may quarrel with my sense of urgency here. But it's hard to have a conversation with opinion leaders anywhere—and especially in Washington—that doesn't descend into ripping Obama's White House team. The refrain of complaints is always the same: • Obama is forever taking strong stances only to backfill and trim. Most recently, he said he did not "begrudge" Wall Streeters their big earnings because that was part of the market system. This, in the face of his saying only a couple of weeks ago that such big bonuses were "shameful." • Obama doesn't know what's really going on. Regarding the Middle East, he recently said that "I think it is absolutely true that what we did this year didn't produce the kind of breakthrough that we wanted, and if we had anticipated some of these political problems on both sides earlier, we might not have raised expectations as high." He had to be totally out of it not to realize that the Palestinians and Israelis were nowhere close to sitting down with each other and dealing. • Obama wants to get along with everyone so badly he doesn't recognize real opposition when he sees it—let alone know how to deal with it. He emerges from a meeting with congressional Republican leaders on health-care reform and says he is "an eternal optimist—when those very same Republican leaders just told the press that they don't see any common ground and believe the administration has to "scrap the bill and start over." • It's even hard to follow his latest Afghan policy. He calls Afghanistan a "war of necessity" and orders more than 30,000 new troops there, coupled with an announcement that he'll begin withdrawing some of them in a year plus, only to see some of his advisers say he will start withdrawals and some say he won't. I've scribbled similar points in recent months in The Daily Beast. And last week in The Financial Times, Edward Luce provided a thunderclap on Washington's negative consensus about the incompetence of Obarna's Chicago-laden team. Luce named names in the White House, and a number of journalists and bloggers strikingly failed to link to the Luce story. They were said to fear the wrath of the Chicagoans. Steve Clemons, author of The Washington Note, essentially eridorse.d the Luce finding and slapped his fellow bloggers' wrists for hiding from this issue. The situation is as serious as it was during the Carter administration. There, two very capable political campaigners--Hamilton Jordan and Jody Powell—moved into critical White House positions without knowing very much about doing business in Washington. And they were, quite naturally, too busy to learn. They also added to the "them" versus "us" (Washington insiders and bureaucrats versus the regular guys from Georgia) mentality that plagues most administrations. The Chicagoans and others "guarding" the president create their own "us versus them" world. It's hard to imagine a policy conversation between the president and the Chicago crowd, since none of them, except Rahm Emanuel, has Washington or policy experience. And there isn't much evidence that they bring in strong-minded outsiders to challenge the president on a regular basis either. The result is an inexperienced president advised by an inexperienced team. Here are the personnel changes being bruited about in political and policy circles: First, remove Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff and move him to a senior political adviser slot. No one I've talked to believes he has the management skills and discipline to run the White House. But he is a terrific political mind and a fighter and should be given the new job and the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767202 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767202 Date: 08/31/2015 time to do his thing. Proven pros who could step right in include the following: Erskine Bowles, president of the University of North Carolina and former Clinton chief of staff; Leon Panetta, now CIA director and formerly White House chief as well under Clinton; Sylvia Mathews, a former deputy chief of staff also under Clinton; and John Podesta, another former Clinton chief who now heads the Center for American Progress. All four are tough and know how to manage. Replace Lawrence Summers, director of the White House's National Economic Council, with Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve. Summers is brilliant and highly controversial; he's been beaten up and is said to want out anyway. Volcker has unmatched stature, practical experience, and the courage of a lion. He is the only one now in a position to get down to step-by-step brass tacks on the economy and stop Mr. Obama's weekly gyrations. Others with proven track records who can help as inside or outside advisers are: Stephen Robert, formerly head of Oppenheimer, Vincent Mai, former leader of AEA Investors, and Tom Hill of Blackstone. There are also two economic stars in Washington who'd improve both policymaking and public combat: Sheila Bair, chairwoman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Elizabeth Warren, chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel. One outside adviser above all would help the president see the economic hard choices ahead: Peter G. Peterson, accomplished businessman and policy head. David Axelrod, the senior political adviser to the president, needs to concentrate on the next presidential campaign, wherein his expertise lies, and not on domestic and foreign policy, where he is just another smart unknowledgeable voice. Good replacements who do know the politics of Washington would be the aforementioned Podesta; and Tom Deschle, the former Democratic Senate Majority Leader. As for David Plouffe, another senior campaign aide, now in unofficial residence at the White House, he should be lodged in the nearby Executive Office Building. Senior adviser and Chicago buddy Valerie Jarrett is too much a part of the inner circle to move, but she should be given a more limited role in making policy. Mr. Obama's crowd appears to think that getting things done means his giving another speech. It's nice, but not nearly enough. Robert Gibbs needs a rest from being press secretary. Let's put it this way: He wasn't born for daily jousts with pithy Republicans. His job calls for memorable and pointed phrases and attacks, not circle-the-wagon circumlocutions. Possible successors? Try Doyle McManus of the L.A. Times, Jake Tapper of ABC News, or Helene Cooper of The New York Times. Last but not least, James Jones, the National Security Adviser, has to move on. The career Marine was greatly admired and respected as Commandant of the Corps and as NATO's military chief. He handled those duties with great skill. But by wide acclamation inside and outside the White House, he has not emerged as a strategist—perhaps the key requirement of this key position. The person in that job has to pull everything together—laying out achievable objectives and precise plans to dispense carefully packaged carrots and sticks. One Democrat who could step in now, despite his age, is Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's national-security adviser. He has a first-rate strategic mind—a rare quality—and knows how to deliver results. Obama will need to iron out Zbig's lack of sympathy toward Israel and Russia. Also available are a boatload of first-class retired diplomats with the judgment and background needed to perform the National Security Council job effectively. They would be greeted with applause both at home and abroad. Try former ambassadors Thomas Pickering, Morton Abramowitz, Frank Wisner, Reginald Bartholomew, and Winston Lord. They have it all. At a minimum, they and others like them should form the core of a group that meets regularly with Obama on strategy. Yes, many of the pros suggested above have reached their golden years. But 70 and even 80 are the new 60. They all possess the necessary energy, experience and rare skill in delivering results. They are also shovel-ready. As a critical bonus, they could and would mentor the next generation down, a very talented one indeed, to succeed them in two or three years. To lead America and the world, Obama has to grow far beyond his present propensity to treat problems as intellectual puzzles—to collect facts and hear the arguments. The great tasks of governing demand proven intuition in sensing what's achievable, which buttons to push when, how to buy the time for power to take hold, how to make adjustments without flagrantly foolish rhetoric, how to avoid failures that only diminish power, and how to succeed in small as well as large ways. With a team versed in such arts and skills, President Obama and America would succeed. Leslie H. Gelb, a former New York Times columnist and senior government official, is author of power Rule,5-.

The Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader, goes to Washington, DC, this week and will sit down with President Barack Obanna for the first time on Thursday February 18th. American presidents have long been happy to meet the Tibetan leader and to tolerate subsequent angry huffing from China, not least as a means of responding to public concern over human rights without doing anything serious to jeopardise trade or other ties with Beijing. But in Mr Obama's case, with China increasingly assertive internationally and the American president perceived in many quarters as cautious, even timid, in foreign policy, the encounter with the Dalai Lama has assumed extra significance. Mr Obama will be studied closely. Human-rights activists will listen with care to the language that the American president uses, straining to hear whether he goes further than merely suggesting more dialogue between Tibetans and the Chinese leadership. Might the president dare to deliver real criticism of repression and human-rights abuses in Tibet? Kenneth Roth, the head of Human Rights Watch, an activist group in New York, offers a mixed assessment of Mr Obama's foreign policy so far in its treatment of human rights. He suggests that no other recent American leader has taken such care with his rhetoric, judging how it is received by the rest of the world. But substantial steps too rarely follow Mr Obama's fine words. The president's speeches—as in Cairo last year—have helped to set a conciliatory tone for American foreign policy, and to reassure Muslims and ntharc that Amprira ic nnt riptprminpri to copk rnnfrontatinn for thP caIcP of it Thniinhtfill cnrnmPntc to UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767207 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767207 Date: 08/31/2015 African leaders, urging the continent to develop strong and democratic institutions, have also been well received. But Mr Roth sees little evidence of a leader who is prepared then to press reluctant regimes, as for example did Ronald Reagan (and before him, Jimmy Carter) in pushing the Soviet Union to sign up to an international commitment, the Helsinki Final Act, which promoted individual rights. Mr Obama's foreign-policy approach of seeking engagement with opponents such as Iran, in an effort to establish dialogue and more effective diplomatic channels, has made it harder for him to beat the humanrights drum loudly. But by failing to speak up about repression, the American leader risks being perceived as weak. His muted reaction to the rigged presidential elections in Iran and the violent repression that followed (and continues) has seemed deferential. His eagerness to "reset" relations with Russia, for example by scrapping a planned anti-missile defence shield in eastern Europe, has coincided with near total silence over the murders of journalists and the clamping down on democracy in that country. It is unclear, in either case, that biting his tongue has brought any gains from the respective regimes. Particularly troubling has been America's attitude to China and human rights. After Hillary Clinton's first visit to China as secretary of state, in February 2009, she announced that concern over human rights should not "interfere" with getting co-operation on other issues such as climate change and the global economy. Human-rights defenders were deflated. Mr Obama then avoided meeting the Dalai Lama when he visited America in September and postponed a scheduled meeting in October, to avoid upsetting the government in China ahead of a presidential visit. During Mr Obama's subsequent visit to China, he made few and limited comments on human rights. The Chinese government responded by becoming more assertive. It helped to scupper a deal at the Copenhagen summit on climate change in December and snubbed the American president by sending a deputy minister to a crucial meeting. China has generally proven to be increasingly unwilling to co-operate with America, for example over United Nations sanctions against Iran. The administration, however, may now be toughening up. American rhetoric over Iran has become firmer. On Monday Mrs Clinton warned that a military dictatorship was emerging in Tehran. Relations with China, too, have become frostier, for example over a long-planned (and routine) decision by the American government to sell weapons to Taiwan. Mrs Clinton has also spoken up more forcefully about the need for internet freedom in China, in the wake of sophisticated cyber-attacks on Google that many believe had Chinese government fingerprints on them. This week's meeting with the Dalai Lama is thus a moment to demonstrate that Mr Obama is ready both to signal his concern for human rights and that his foreignpolicy is becoming more assertive.

Sid hrc memo Iran 021710.docx CONFIDENTIAL February 17, 2010 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Iran, Saudi Had dinner last night (Tuesday, February 16) with Joschka Fischer. We had an interesting conversation on Iran and Saudi Arabia, among other things. (As you know Fischer is now director of the Nabucco pipeline project.) On Iran, harsh, targeted sanctions are absolutely necessary, but are most effective diplomatically when always coupled with an offer to negotiate. The iron fist in the velvet glove approach achieves several objectives: According to Fischer's intelligence, Ahmanijehad wished some negotiated settlement but was blocked. The regime has splits at the top. Perhaps true, perhaps not. But constantly pushing negotiations alongside sanctions puts additional pressure on internal divisions, whatever they are. Extending an open hand while brandishing a stick closes diplomatic and political room to maneuver for Iran: Its refusal to accept the open hand justifies application of the stick. Even when sanctions are enforced it always remains useful to say another way is open. The damage done to Iran is therefore the result of its own choice. This approach also aids the opposition. A purely condign sanctions strategy can contribute to the regime's will to punish and tighten repression. Talking of regime change, of course, undermines the cause of regime change. It is a gift to the regime. The opposition is a new factor in the Iran equation that must be taken into account on the political and moral level. Pushed to the wall, the regime may feel compelled to repress, which might involve thousands or tens of thousands of political killings. On Saudi Arabia, Fischer points out that if Iran develops nuclear weaponry the Saudis already have their own bomb. The Saudis invested in Pakistan's nuclear weaponry partly for this eventuality; that's their bomb in reserve.

"However, [Ebrahimi] said he believes it is unlikely that the Majlis will approve the visit since it is not in the country's interests at the present time." Via The Hill blog, Fars news agency says Kerry's visa request has been denied. "They could have very well taken a vote, I have not been informed of any such vote directly," Senate Foreign Relations Committee spokesman Fred Jones told POLITICO Sunday. "Once again, I reiterate that John Kerry has no plans to travel to Iran." Last week, Jones told POLITICO that Iranian reports that Kerry was planning to go to Iran were not accurate. Asked if Kerry was exploring the possibility of meeting Iranian officials elsewhere in a third country, Jones said no. "There are no plans to meet with any Iranian officials abroad." Over the weekend, diplomatic and Hill sources said that internal disputes have emerged over whether a European Parliament delegation should proceed with its planned visit to Iran this month. Iran's Press TV reported yesterday that the European MP delegation plans to come.

A transcript of the interview has not been posted yet, but I have included here the Financial Times article about the interview. Please just let me know if you would like any further information on this. Best, Mike Former aide urges Obama to regain 'political narrative' By Edward Luce in Washington Published: February 15 2010 Barack Obama, US president, has lost control of the political narrative and needs to make more use of his cabinet in order to regain it, says John Podesta, the man who headed the president's transition team. "My friends in the White House would agree with this, that they lost the narrative," Mr Podesta said in an interview for View from DC, the Financial Times' video series from Washington. "Clearly that needs not one speech once in a while: it needs, I think, to be constantly reinforced. And not just by the president, but by his entire team ... He's got a terrific cabinet. Use it. Get out into the country and use it." Mr Podesta, who was also a chief of staff to Bill Clinton, drew parallels with the former president's difficulties in his first two years, which culminated in the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress following the failure of healthcare reform. When asked whether the failure of this latest attempt at healthcare reform would result in a similar electoral "massacre" for the Democratic party at the mid-term elections in November, he said: "I subscribe to that view." Mr Podesta founded the Centre for American Progress, Washington's largest liberal think-tank, which was often described as a "government-in-exile" during the years George W. Bush was in the White House. He said Mr Obama had three options with healthcare reform. First, try to enact the whole thing by using the budget reconciliation process, which would enable it to pass with 51 votes. The Democrats lost their controlling 60-seat super-majority last month in a election defeat in Massachusetts. The second would be to pass a watered down bill with Republican support The third would be to abandon the attempt, as Mr Clinton did in 1993. Mr Podesta, whom Mr Obama still regularly consults, said there was still a better than 50:50 chance of getting reform through. "The worst option among the three is doing nothing, and so they're going to have to figure out which track is viable," he said. "It may mean doing it with only Democratic votes. But if that is such, then so be it."

"It sucks," he said. Pointing to a strategy of obstructionism by Republican lawmakers, he said: "I think the president is trying to re-engage with Republicans, but, quite frankly, he's not dealing with the party of [Abraham] Lincoln. He's dealing with the party of [Sarah] Palin." The growth of partisanship and the increasing difficulty in getting any big reforms through the Senate were threatening to turn the US into, "in essence, a parliamentary system without majority rule", where the opposition automatically opposes any serious initiatives. The political stasis in California provided the writing on the wall for the US as a whole, he said. Since the 1978 passage of Proposition 13 in the state, all budget changes had required a two-thirds majority. "And so nothing gets done." Michael H.

We appreciated the promptness with which you assigned a first rate liaison to communicate with us - Ted Coley - and we appreciate the accomodations State made in the form of information delivery to Jim and assistance with his return to the United States. Jim is resting in Fort Lauderdale now and will return to Amarillo by private plane later in the morning. His wife Lisa is with him in Fort Lauderdale. The country is fortunate to have first rate diplomats and crisis responders like you in positions of public responsibility, and we appreciated your willingness to look carefully at the facts, including the distinctions between the roles played by each of the Americans who went to Haiti as volunteers. Again, thank you on our behalf, and on behalf of the Allen family, and best wishes with continuing relief and recovery efforts.

Rejects 'Militarization' of Afghan Aid (NYT, Nordland) By ROD NORDLAND Published: February 18, 2010 KABUL, Afghanistan -Senior United Nations officials in Afghanistan on Wednesday criticized NATO forces for what one referred to as "the militarization of humanitarian aid," and said United Nations agencies would not participate in the military's reconstruction strategy in Marja as part of its current offensive there. "We are not part of that process, we do not want to be part of it," said Robert Watkins, the deputy special representative of the secretary general, at a news conference attended by other officials to announce the United Nations' Humanitarian Action Plan for 2010. "We will not be part of that military strategy." The American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, has made the rapid delivery of governmental services, including education, health care and job programs, a central part of his strategy in Marja, referring to plans to rapidly deploy what he has referred to as "a government in a box" once Marja is pacified. Mr. Watkins did not specifically criticize the Marja offensive, saying, "It is not the military that will be delivering the services, they will be clearing the area so the government can deliver those services." However, the United Nations would not be participating, he said. Wael Haj-Ibrahim, head of the United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs here, said the military should not be involved in providing health care or schools. "If that aid is being delivered as part of a military strategy, the counterstrategy is to destroy that aid," Mr. Haj-Ibrahim said. "Allowing the military to do it is not the best use of resources." Instead, he said, the military should confine itself to clearing an area of security threats and providing security for humanitarian organizations to deliver services. "The distribution of aid by the military gives a very difficult impression to the communities and puts the lives of humanitarian workers at risk," Mr. Watkins said. Last month, eight leading humanitarian organizations working in UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767257 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767257 Date: 08/31/2015 Afghanistan, including Oxfam and ActionAid, issued a joint report that was highly critical of the International Security Assistance Force, as the American-led NATO force is known, because of "the international militaries' use of aid as a 'nonlethal' weapon of war." They maintained that this violated an agreement between international forces and the United Nations that the military's primary role should be to provide security and, only when there is no other alternative, to provide limited developmental and humanitarian assistance. The agencies maintain they are able to work in conflict areas of Afghanistan when local residents see them as independent and not connected with the military, and this approach puts that at risk. "Military-led humanitarian and development activities are driven by donors' political interests and short-term security objectives and are often ineffective, wasteful and potentially harmful to Afghans," a statement by Oxfam said. The United Nations officials expressed the same concern, though more diplomatically, and one official, who did not want to be quoted by name because of the political sensitivity of the issue, said the United Nations had repeatedly raised those concerns with the international forces without success. The American military refers to its strategy, first enunciated in Iraq in 2006, as "clear, hold and build." Previously there were insufficient foreign and Afghan troops in Afghanistan to pursue that strategy systematically because they were unable to hold large areas for long periods of time. The offensive in Marja is intended as a showcase where the strategy can work, and the coalition says it has adequate forces now to do that. "Clear, hold and build, it's short-sighted for two reasons," the United Nations official said. "Territory changes hands in a conflict, and if the services are associated with a particular group, it will be destroyed." That has happened often with projects like schools and clinics around the country. The officials were particularly critical of NATO's planned "civilian surge," bringing in more government-financed aid workers involved in projects like the country's provincial reconstruction teams, which are located in each province and designed to provide fast-track development and aid services in their areas. These reconstruction teams are NATO groups run by various allied countries, including Canada in Kandahar, and Britain in Lashkar Gah, and they primarily disburse development and aid money locally in each province.Many of the reconstruction teams, the official said, see their role as providing services in exchange for intelligence-gathering and political activity directed against the insurgents. He declined to identify any that operate under that premise, although he added that not all did so. In many parts of the country, only nongovernmental organizations are able to operate safely because of the security situation, and they fill the gap in governmental services. Because the reconstruction teams are run by foreigners and are associated with their countries' militaries, they need to go out with heavy security, and aid groups worry that locals begin to associate all aid workers with the military. Oxfam said the military "was going way beyond its remit" in Afghanistan, citing an American Army counterinsurgency manual that defines humanitarian aid as a "nonlethal weapon."A statement issued Wednesday by the international forces emphasized the military's new, populationcentered approach to fighting the insurgents. "The conduct of Operation Moshtarak is visibly demonstrating that the force has changed the way it operates and that it is working with and for the people of Afghanistan," the statement said, referring to the Marja offensive. It also suggested the military phase of the operation could be protracted. "The insurgents are tactically adept, have resilience and are cunning, so continued tactical patience on the part of the combined force is important. Mining is significant in areas, and the combined UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767257 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767257 Date: 08/31/2015 force must be very deliberate in its movement in order to minimize local Afghan and combined force casualties." The United Nations' Humanitarian Action Plan has a proposed budget of $870.5 million, a substantial increase over previous years, because the increased level of NATO military activity has led to increased needs for services in many parts of the country, according the United Nations.

They are somewhat painful to read since, as you know, in Pakistan, the media can be particularly outrageous. However, we can't ignore the fact that these talk shows are the most watched programming in prime time.. The report below is fairly typical. The host sets up the discussion in fairly provocative way and the guests, who come from across the political spectrum, respond. As you can see, the first commentator is strongly anti US. However, what I, have observed since our media offensive began last Fall is that there is usually a more moderate guest as well, who will argue along the lines that it is only natural for the US to protect its interests and GOP should do a better job of protecting Pakistan. Believe it or not there have even been instances where we get credit for some of the things we do. Also on occasion where there have been particularly egregious attacks on US policy, the host will read a statement from our Embassy in the following programming. We try to get airtime on these programs whenever possible but it is hard.

Washington's policy towards Islamabad is ambiguous. On the one hand, the U.S. has assigned Pakistan the role of a frontline state in the war against terrorism while, on the other, it has signed nuclear deal with our worst enemy, India. What, in your opinion, is the real U.S. agenda in our region?

This American policy prompted the Indian army chief to boast that his country can fight against China and Pakistan simultaneously. The U.S. needs our cooperation against Iran and China. It also wants our help to occupy the resources of the Central Asian states. The current wave of extremism in the region is the reaction of imperialistic policies of Washington. Despite our recognition of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, Pakistan treated their ambassador in Islamabad in a very humiliating manner. In fact, our rulers have becomes the slaves of the United States. But Pakistan will get nothing by befriending the U.S. and helping Americans in their conspiracies against our neighbors. The history tells us that Washington's enmity is dangerous, and its friendship is fatal. Shahid Amin: Every country devises its policies to safeguard its national interests and same is true for the United States. However, it is the responsibility of our governments to protect Pakistan's interests while dealing with Americans. Today, the Taliban and AlQaeda constitute the biggest threat to the U.S. security. But these terrorist organizations also pose a potential threat to the security and integrity of Pakistan. Hence, like America, their elimination is also in our own national interest.

Posted By Josh Rooin EFIThursday, February 4, 2010 - 6:12 PM UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767278 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767278 Date: 08/31/2015 Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg is being considered for the job of dean of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service, multiple sources close to the process told The Cable. Steinberg, the number-two official at the State Department, is widely regarded as a top-tier academic and most recently served as dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin, but has faced some turbulence since landing in Foggy Bottom. Reportedly disappointed after initially angling for a higher position, Steinberg has taken on a broad portfolio at State, both as Secretary Hillary Clinton's deputy and focusing on Asia as his personal policy domain. But some State Department bureaucrats privately gripe about what they see as Steinberg's sometimes intrusive style, and some of his policy proposals have been seen as poorly coordinated with the other parts of the policy community. "He's a brilliant guy, but just not a great fit for that job," said one administration source. According to two sources familiar with the process, Steinberg has met with the Georgetown search committee and expressed an interest in applying for the job. The search committee has also met with individuals close to Steinberg, to hear their recommendations for him. Sources said the search committee is still narrowing the candidate list and conducting interviews, before making any recommendations to the university president. When asked if he was a candidate for the job by The Cable, Steinberg said by email, "It would be news to me." The leading contender, according to insiders, is the current acting Dean Carol Lancaster. A graduate of the School of Foreign Service herself, Lancaster was once deputy administrator of USAID and is a tenured professor there now. Other potential candidates, according to sources, include former Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, Princeton University professor Tom Christensen, and former State Department official Marc Grossman. Grossman told The Cable he was contacted about the job, but he is not a candidate. The others did not respond to requests for comment. "Carol has brilliantly checked boxes," said Robert Gallucci, the immediate past dean, who now heads the MacArthur Foundation after stepping down from the School of Foreign Service after 13 years. Gallucci worked with Lancaster on the State Department's policy planning staff under Anthony Lake, another Georgetown professor. Gallucci is not part of the search committee, but talked with The Cable about the process and what the school might be looking for. "It's a wonderful, challenging job with great opportunity to impact young people who will be in positions of leadership in the international sphere," Gallucci said, adding, "Somebody who had success in the policy world, more likely in government service, could bring something special to the shaping of these minds and the atmosphere of this school."

Serajul Islam MS. Judith A McHale, US Under Secretary of State for Public Affairs, who was recently in Dhaka, is the senior most ranking US Government official to visit Bangladesh since President Obama took office in USA and Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh. During her public engagements, she made some remarks that are very encouraging for Bangladesh. In Dhaka University she said that US would take 20,000 students every year from Bangladesh where at the moment, the intake is far fewer. The Under Secretary made more encouraging remarks when she addressed Madrassah students of Uttar Badda Islamia Kamil Madrassah. When a student informed her that Madrassah educated students are seldom given US visa for education, she said categorically that US doors are open to Madrassah educated students of Banagladesh. She also said that the US Embassy is providing teachers for teaching English in Madrassahs and her Government "is proud to be working with the Madrassah." She also said that religious leadership is a key to the success of socio-economic development efforts. Her most positive remark was her belief that Bangladesh could assist the US to bridge its gap with the Muslim world. The Under Secretary however did not say how many Madrassah students who would be given visa annually as she did for the general students. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767282 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767282 Date: 08/31/2015 This notwithstanding, the fact that a senior Obama administration official has publicly made positive remarks for the Madrassah educated students and role of Islam in society is very significant. Her statement came on the back of a number of other initiatives that the US Government has taken in Bangladesh to work with the Madrasahs. The US Government is working with a number of NGOs to sensitize Madrassah students on democracy, information and communication technology, etc. This is a significant change in US stance on Bangladesh. Not very long ago, the US Ambassador to Bangladesh Harry Thomas was crying hoarse about religious fundamentalism in Bangladesh; that was dismissed by the BNP Government. The Awami League went overboard to spread the news that Bangladesh was seething with religious fundamentalism, even labeling the BNP Government as "Taliban". Early in 2006, the US Assistant Secretary for South Asia, Ms. Christina Rocco, on an official visit to Bangladesh, strongly advised the Government that it had no choice but to rein in the religious fundamentalists, that later led to the arrests of Bangla Bhai and the JMB terrorists. The BNP Government arrested religious terrorists in a make believe manner that was a far cry from the dangerous portrayal about them in the media and by the opposition, when they were at the height of their criminal activities. The meekness of their surrender and their execution under the Caretaker Government without any repercussion from their cadres who were supposed to on the verge of capturing power by force left no doubt that the case of religious extremists in Bangladesh was over politicised and overstated. They raised their ugly face in no uncertain terms because the BNP Government indulged and encouraged them. The national elections in December 2008, in which over 20 million first time voters entered the election process further sealed the nation's contempt for political parties in Bangladesh that use religion for achieving their ends. In fact, even the BNP found the religion based parties a political liability in the last elections when the biggest of the religion based parties in Bangladesh, the Jamat-e-Islami could manage just 2 seats. Although the parties that have used religion for politics have been historically rejected by voters in Bangladesh, interestingly Islam as a religion has made significant inroads into the lives of the overwhelming majority of its people since independence. There are many reasons for this that is outside the scope of this writing. This spread of Islam, unlike in many other countries, is still tampered by liberal traditions embedded in the history of the religion in this part of the world where Sufism has played a major role. Nevertheless, the resurgence of Islam in Bangladesh also faces the dangers of evolving in the opposition direction. It is an issue that must be dealt with the utmost caution to deter Bangladesh from following Algeria or Afghanistan. Soon after the Awami League came to power early last year, a vested group was busy spreading distorted information to create public opinion against the Qoami Madrasahs (QM) and calling for restoration of secularism by removing Islam from public life. A World Bank Report later trashed the propaganda against QM, one that suggested that under BNP Government 35% soldiers recruited were from QM. There was a period of lull in the campaign of this group against Islam based political parties and the Madrasahs after the WB report, although the report may not have been alone responsible for the lull.. The annulment of the fifth amendment of the constitution, the war trial criminals that would involve mostly the Jamat; and the recent activities of Jamat's student cadre in the universities have re-activated the move. A section is claiming the restoration of the 1972 constitution to ban the Jamat. Ms Judith McHale's visit is very significant in the present context of Bangladesh's politics. Unlike Ms Christina Rocco's visit in early 2006, she did not sound any alarm bells for Bangladesh on the issue of religious fundamentalism. To the contrary, her visit to the Madrassah, together with the initiatives of her Government to work with the Madrasahs of Bangladesh by providing them with modern educational tools are positive signs that US is not worried about 'religious fundamentalism' in Bangladesh and that it even visualises a role for Bangladesh to help it reach out more towards the Muslim world. Some months ago, the US Government dropped the name of Bangladesh from the watch list of countries where religious freedom is at stake. This is another indication that religious fundamentalism in Bangladesh is on the decline in US perception The author is a former Ambassador to Japan and Director, Centre for Foreign Affairs Studies UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767282 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767284 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Sullivan, Jacob J Saturday, February 20, 2010 9:36 AM Re: Followup He was scheduled to talk to Ryabkov this am to talk through resolution elements and to check in on missile defense, etc. I will follow up.

"First on our agenda is Haiti," said Roosevelt Skerrit, the prime minister of Dominica and leader of the Caricom (the Caribbean Community) until July. "We want to ensure reconstruction goes beyond immediate efforts. We have an opportunity to bring about the renaissance of Haiti, not just to return to where we were before the disaster struck." On Jan. 12, Haiti was struck by an earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale, which killed at least 200,000 people and destroyed numerous homes, workplaces, infrastructure and government buildings. Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who formally opened the summit on Sunday afternoon, said Haiti would be a top priority, adding that the summit would also discuss boosting trade and growth across the Caribbean region, protecting and developing tourism, boosting regional security, and tackling climate change. He said that Mexico was committed to the region. "Mexico is a nation that is Caribbean nation, powerfully Caribbean," Calderon said. "As such Mexico takes on its responsibility of participating actively in the region's development." During his speech, Haitian President Rene Preval said that as many as 300,000 people may have died in the devastating quake last month. "More than 200,000 bodies have been recovered from the streets, (and) with those under the rubble that figure could reach 300,000, " he said. Preval also thanked the host Mexico for all the aid it had provided for Haiti's earthquake victims. "Haiti's friends realize that Haiti's true development cannot be built on aid, but must be based on investment," Preval said, adding that the nation needs "not rebuilding but refounding." "We need a more just nation that is not focused on Port-au- Prince where the political and economic elite live," he stressed.

"The first rains that have begun to fall have already made all dignified living impossible," he said, also warning that worse is to come when Haiti's rainy season begins in April. The Mexico-Caricom Summit held on Sunday will be followed on Monday by a two-day Group of Rio Summit. Haiti is both a Rio and Caricom member. During the Rio meeting, Mexico is set to propose that the Group be expanded into a broader organization that brings together the 24-nation Group of Rio and 15-nation Caricom. Six of Caricom's members are also Group of Rio members.

What's going around...Les Gelb... Sid a mbling Over Rahm by Leslie H. Gelb February 22, 2010 I 3:26pm L - Alex Brandon / AP Photo Leslie H. Gelb's call for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to be reassigned spurred a circle-the-wagons reaction from pro- (or perhaps even anti-) Rahm forces. Gelb sifts the fallout for clues. When you write that the president of the United States should replace his chief of staff, someone will fire back. So it was that Rahm Emanuel apparently struck back at my piece last week on the Daily Beast through a column in Sunday's Washington Post. Only this time, the return fire had a rare twist, one that could produce Washington convulsions. It was seemingly aimed at me (and others who published suggestions of Emanuel's limitations as chief). But whether it was intentional or not, the volley actually struck the president himself. Here is the story, a very Washington tale of stretching permissible criticism of power holders, of pungent media leaks, of labyrinthine speculation as to who is doing what to whom. Maybe the leaker thought the way to get rid of Rahm completely was to brand him as a "traitor" to the boss. With a headline "Replace Rahm," I wrote last Tuesday that Emanuel lacked the managerial skills, discipline, and strategic ability to get things done as chief of staff. I argued he should be moved over to a political adviser slot, where his considerable, can-do talents would better serve his boss. I targeted others as well, mostly in Mr. Obama's Chicago crowd. Several writers also blasted this crowd, mostly with unsigned bullets, but never crossed the red line calling for their removal. I wrote the piece because it essentially reflected the waves of anti-White House staff critiques breaking over Washington, but rarely heard outside its drawing rooms. I did it because I believed the president was running out of chances to succeed and needed better and tougher staffers. I did it because if he failed, the nation failed. Then came the inevitable blast back, a devastating leak, in a piece by Dana Milbank, a respected Washington journalist. Interesting that the leaker selected Milbank. He's sort of a half-reporter, half-columnist who roams the entire capital city, not just the White House. The leaker must have felt safe because Milbank has so many sources all over town, making the leakers harder to trace. The Milbank headline read: "Why Obama needs Rahm at the top." It began: "Let us now praise Rahm Emanuel. No, seriously." Then, he lists me and a couple others who also criticized Rahm. "But," he continued, "sacking Emanuel is the last thing the president should do." Then, Milbank (and presumably the leaker) delivered the surprise and wounding blow – to the president himself. "Obama's first year fell apart in large part because he didn't follow his chief of staffs advice on crucial matters. Arguably, Emanuel is the only person keeping Obama from becoming Jimmy Carter." Then, Milbank (and the leaker) took his first shot, not at me, but at congressional liberals and everyone in the Chicago crowd except Rahm. "Obama's problem," Milbank continued, "is that his other confidants—particularly Valerie Jarrett and Robert Gibbs, and, to a lesser extent, David Axelrod—are part of the Cult of Obama. In love with the president, they believe he is a transformational figure who needn't dirty his hands in politics." So, it was "their" fault—until you see the real blow landed beyond them and on the President himself. "The president would have been better off heeding Emanuel's counsel," but instead "overruled" him on several key Rahm recommendations: not rushing to close Guantanamo and bringing terrorists to U.S. prisons, not trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York, and going for a smaller health care bill focused on popular items with Republican support. "The result was," Milbank wrote, "as the world now knows, disastrous." In other words, Mr. Obama could have thrived and saved himself on key issues had he only listened to Rahm. It sure looks like Rahm (or someone near and dear to him) trying to save himself at the president's expense. This is an incredibly unusual leak, seemingly a chief of staff undermining his own boss, the president. Worse, it details specific advice Rahm personally gave Mr. Obama in the absolute privacy of the Oval Office. Presidents go crazy at such breaches of confidence. Which is why another possibility has to be considered: that Rahm was not the leaker. The leak was so egregious, so antiChicago crowd minus Rahm, so devastating to the president, that Emanuel couldn't have been stupid enough to leak a story where he was the sole, surviving hero.

Maybe the leaker thought the way to get rid of Rahm completely was to brand him as a "traitor" to the boss. Maybe the leaker belonged to that contingent of selfmutilating liberal Democrats who have always viewed Rahm as too centrist and pragmatic. Of course, I don't know what's afoot.

Sid Car bomb explodes in Northern Ireland Republican dissidents suspected after blast outside courthouse in Newry as evacuation was taking place • • Buzz up! Diqg it • • • Mark Tran quardian.co.uk, Tuesday 23 February 2010 Article history A car bomb exploded last night outside the courthouse in Newry, Northern Ireland, police said. There were no initial reports of any injuries in the blast. Police said the vehicle was abandoned at the front of the building in the Co Down town at around lOpm. Officers were in the process of evacuating the area when the car exploded. Suspicion is bound to fall on republican dissidents opposed to the peace process. The incident comes only days after a mortar bomb failed to detonate outside a police station in the nearby Co Armagh village of Keady. The chairman of the nationalist SDLP in Newry, Gary McKeown, condemned those responsible. "Lives could have been lost as a result of this bombing," he said. "It serves absolutely no purpose and does nothing for the community, or the cause of a united Ireland. If people want to advance their beliefs, they should enter the democratic process and debate with their political opponents, rather than resorting to violence. Planting bombs outside courthouses will achieve nothing." Earlier this month, police on both sides of the Irish border launched separate operations against dissident republicans. Police in Northern Ireland arrested two men and a woman in connection with the murder of Constable Stephen Carroll, the first PSNI officer killed by terrorists in the province. The Continuity IRA shot the 48-year-old policeman dead on a housing estate in Craigavon, County Armagh, on 9 March last year. His murder came just 48 hours after the Real IRA killed two British soldiers outside the Massereene barracks in Antrim. In September police discovered a massive 600lb bomb in the south Armagh village of Forkhill. On Sunday, Republican Sinn Fein, political allies of the Continuity IRA, claimed masked undercover soldiers carried out surveillance on two housing estates in Lurgan, Co Armagh, in recent weeks. They claimed the men were scouting the areas in white civilian vans. Republican Sinn Fein said the soldiers belonged to the Special Reconnaissance Regiment. The alleged presence of SRR soldiers — formerly known as the 14th Intelligence Unit — is controversial because British troops are meant to have been pulled off the streets, especially in nationalist areas. Britain heading for hung parliament Guardian/ICM poll Tories might not win election outright, suggests new survey • • • Comments (259) Buzz up! Digq it • • • Julian Glover quardian.co.uk, Monday 22 February 2010 18.30 GMT Article history UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767349 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767349 Date: 08/31/2015 The Conservatives should no longer count on winning the election outright, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today. The new survey suggests Britain is on course for a hung parliament amid faltering public support for David Cameron's party. The opposition have also lost ground on key policy issues, including the economy, and in particular may be losing their campaign against Labour's so-called "death tax". Labour leads the Tories by eight points as the party with the best policy on care for the elderly. The two parties are neck and neck on their ability to sort out the economic crisis, against a nine-point Tory lead when the question was last asked in August 2009. With no more than three months to go until polling day, the Conservatives have fallen to 37%, down three on last month's Guardian/ICM poll and down two on another ICM poll earlier this month. The party has not fallen so low in an ICM poll since the tail end of the banking crisis, last falling to 37% in February 2008. As recently as last October the Tories hit 45% in an ICM poll and the party will be alarmed by this latest evidence that the race is tightening, which confirms the findings of some other recent polls. Meanwhile Labour's support, at 30%, is eight points up on its absolute ICM bottom last May, and slightly above its average for the second part of last year. However, there is no sign of either a boost for the party following Gordon Brown's Piers Morgan interview or a fall after this weekend's reports about Brown bullying his staff. Labour's support is up one point on the last Guardian/ICM poll and unchanged from the most recent ICM poll. Research began last Friday and most was carried out before the serialisation of Andrew Rawnsley's book in yesterday's Observer, which may have affected Labour support. Around a fifth of responses were collected on Sunday. Nick Clegg's hopes of a powerful place in a hung parliament are also boosted by today's poll, which puts the Liberal Democrats on 20%, unchanged from the most recent ICM and down one on last month's Guardian poll. All this suggests that Labour and the Lib Dems are holding steady while the Conservatives lose some ground to smaller parties, which are on a total of 13%. Nationalists are on 5%, Ukip and the Greens on 3% each and the BNP on 2%. Estimates of what these shares would mean for the parties on polling day vary, but a 7% lead is at the margins of what the Tories think they need to win a majority. One academic calculation suggests the result would leave Labour only 25 seats behind the Tories in a hung parliament, although any improved Tory performance in marginal seats would offset that. • /CM Research interviewed a random sample of 1,004 adults by telephone on 19-21 February 2010.

Sid Northern Ireland agrees power-sharing deal Gordon Brown hails historic deal which will see justice and policing powers be devolved to Stormont from 12 April • • • Henry McDonald quardian.co.uk, Friday 5 February 2010 11.42 GMT Gordon Brown, the DUP leader, Peter Robinson, and Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness (I to r) talk to the press after the Northern Ireland power-sharing deal was announced. Photograph: Julien Behal/PA Justice and policing powers will be devolved to Northern Ireland's power-sharing government from 12 April in a historic deal agreed by the main parties that "opens a new chapter" after decades of violence, Gordon Brown said today. Standing alongside his Irish counterpart, Brian Cowen, at a press conference at Hillsborough Castle outside Belfast, the prime minister said the "inspirational" agreement between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) was a foundation for lasting peace. The deal — finally agreed to by the DUP last night and described as a final piece in the jigsaw after a long search for peace — comes after two weeks of round-the-clock negotiations and brings an end to fears that the power-sharing government might collapse. It will see policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to the assembly within weeks and includes new plans on overseeing parades. Brown, who travelled to Belfast this morning, said the agreement had been possible because of "a new spirit of mutual cooperation and respect". The deal meets a key Sinn Fein demand and prevents the republican party from walking out of the power-sharing executive. In return, the DUP has secured reforms to the way loyalist marches are handled in Northern Ireland, including the abolition of the Parades Commission, a body most unionists regard as biased in favour of nationalists. A cross-community vote will now be held in the Stormont assembly on 9 March before the policing and justice powers are devolved from London on 12 April. Brown told reporters: "The achievements have been as great as they are inspirational. This moment and this agreement belongs to the people of Northern Ireland, all of the people, and now more than ever before so does their future ... This is the last chapter of a long and troubled story and the beginning of a new chapter after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate." Cowen praised both unionists and nationalists for making "fair and balanced compromises" to bridge the divisions and said the quality of the negotiations meant that the "devolved institutions can and will work". The Northern Ireland secretary, Shaun Woodward, said the deal would further isolate republican dissidents who have launched three separate gun and bomb attacks against police stations in the province over the last 10 days. The deal would "absolutely" make Northern Ireland a safer place, he said. The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, said the agreement "will be more enduring because of the time spent" in forming it.

Jeffrey Donaldson told the Guardian the DUP's 36-strong assembly team was now unanimously in favour of the deal. But the Ulster Unionist party (UUP) has yet to officially back the package which will allow the assembly to set up legislation to change the way parades are judged. A UUP spokeswoman said members wanted to see the proposed agreement before giving their response to the two governments. "We have not had sight of this agreement and until we do we will not be signing up to it," she said. The talks, which centred on Hillsborough Castle, outside Belfast, are the longest set of continuous negotiations held in the near 20-year peace process. Sinn Fein had accused the DUP of stalling on the transfer of policing powers for the last three years and it was feared that failure to find agreement could see the collapse of the power-sharing government led by the two parties. The agreement finally came near midnight at Stormont's parliament building. Earlier in the evening Sinn Fein had said the basis of a deal was on the table and it was giving the DUP leadership the time to persuade its party to accept it. Robinson emerged from a meeting of party colleagues to confirm that he had secured unanimous support for the proposals. Earlier in the week up to 14 DUP assembly members had opposed a proposed deal because it did not give unionists enough concessions. Robinson said he would now look to gain the support of the community and the smaller assembly parties for the deal. "We have a basis upon which we can go forward and recommend it [the deal] to our party, to the other parties in Northern Ireland and to the community. "An essential element of the Democratic Unionist Party's manifesto is the requirement for community confidence; we believe this can be the basis for gaining that confidence." However the leader of the hardline Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), Jim Allister, questioned why the 14 DUP rebels had changed their minds. "The deal hasn't changed, only the snowmen of the DUP, who melted once the heat came on," Allister said. The DUP now faces a struggle to ward off the TUV threat in the forthcoming general election: Allister will portray the deal as a sell-out of unionist principles and a sop to republicanism.

The deal meets a key Sinn Fein demand and prevents the republican party from walking out of the power-sharing executive. In return, the DUP has secured reforms to the way loyalist marches are handled in Northern Ireland, including the abolition of the Parades Commission, a body most unionists regard as biased in favour of nationalists. A cross-community vote will now be held in the Stormont assembly on 9 March before the policing and justice powers are devolved from London on 12 April. Brown told reporters: "The achievements have been as great as they are inspirational. This moment and this agreement belongs to the people of Northern Ireland, all of the people, and now more than ever before so does their future ... This is the last chapter of a long and troubled story and the beginning of a new chapter after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate." Cowen praised both unionists and nationalists for making "fair and balanced compromises" to bridge the divisions and said the quality of the negotiations meant that the "devolved institutions can and will work". The Northern Ireland secretary, Shaun Woodward, said the deal would further isolate republican dissidents who have launched three separate gun and bomb attacks against police stations in the province over the last 10 days. The deal would "absolutely" make Northern Ireland a safer place, he said. The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, said the agreement "will be more enduring because of the time spent" in forming it. Referring back to the Belfast Agreement of 1998 when negotiations bore fruit at the 11th hour, the Sinn Fein president, Gerry Adams, described the current deal and the rescue of power-sharing as "yet another very good Friday". Jeffrey Donaldson told the Guardian the DUP's 36-strong assembly team was now unanimously in favour of the deal. But the Ulster Unionist party (UUP) has yet to officially back the package which will allow the assembly to set up legislation to change the way parades are judged. A UUP spokeswoman said members wanted to see the proposed agreement before giving their response to the two governments. "We have not had sight of this agreement and until we do we will not be signing up to it," she said. The talks, which centred on Hillsborough Castle, outside Belfast, are the longest set of continuous negotiations held in the near 20-year peace process. Sinn Fein had accused the DUP of stalling on the transfer of policing powers for the last three years and it was feared that failure to find agreement could see the collapse of the power-sharing government led by the two parties. The agreement finally came near midnight at Stormont's parliament building. Earlier in the evening Sinn Fein had said the basis of a deal was on the table and it was giving the DUP leadership the time to persuade its party to accept it. Robinson emerged from a meeting of party colleagues to confirm that he had secured unanimous support for the proposals. Earlier in the week up to 14 DUP assembly members had opposed a proposed deal because it did not give unionists enough concessions. Robinson said he would now look to gain the support of the community and the smaller assembly parties for the deal. "We have a basis upon which we can go forward and recommend it [the deal] to our party, to the other parties in Northern Ireland and to the community. "An essential element of the Democratic Unionist Party's manifesto is the requirement for community confidence; we believe this can be the basis for gaining that confidence." However the leader of the hardline Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), Jim Allister, questioned why the 14 DUP rebels had changed their minds. "The deal hasn't changed, only the snowmen of the DUP, who melted once the heat came on," Allister said. The DUP now faces a struggle to ward off the TUV threat in the forthcoming general election. Allister will portray the deal as a sell-out of unionist principles and a sop to republicanism.

Did your recent meetings with Army Chief General Kayani and DG Inter-Services Intelligence (151), Lt. General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, improved your strained relations with these military leaders? Hussain Haqqani: I have never had bad relations with the military. I had played no role in the draft of the Kerry-Lugar Bill. It was the Pakistani media which spread such rumors. Host: In your recent book, you had suggested the U.S. government to link the financial assistance with the civilian control over the Pakistan Army. Hussain Haqqani: I had written it in the perspective of Pakistan's situation in 2005.1 argued that if the U.S. wanted to maintain its influence in Pakistan, it should use its aid to stabilize the democratic institutions in the country rather than supporting the Musharraf regime. Host: But you had also alleged that the ISI was providing support and protection to the Taliban. Hussain Haqqani: You need to understand that everything has some specific perspective. The ISI is playing a very important role in the national security of Pakistan, but a policy changes with a change in the circumstances under which it was formulated. At that time, the Taliban were being considered as friends of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767363 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767363 Date: 08/31/2015 Pakistan but later they became a potential threat to our national security. Hence, we were left with no other option but to abandon them. Host: What was wrong with the Kerry-Lugar Bill? Why was it so vehemently opposed by the Pakistani masses and the armed forces? As the Ambassador of Pakistan, had you expressed any reservations and concerns during the preparation of this legislation? Hussain Haqqani: During the drafting of the Kerry-Lugar Bill, I sent as many as 35 telegrams to the Foreign Office and other concerned institutions including the armed forces. I was against attaching even a single string to this aid package, and urged that all the assistance for Pakistan should be unconditional. Americans wanted us to hand Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan over to them for investigation but we made it clear that it would never be possible for us, and that this chapter had been closed. Similarly, we rejected the U.S. demand to link the aid with the performance of our institutions. Host: But at that time, you said that the Pakistanis had failed to understand the benefits of Kerry-Lugar Bill because they do not know English language. Hussain Haqqani: It was just a joke. However, I want to make it clear that the Kerry-Lugar Bill is a U.S. legislation. It is not an agreement between the two countries and, therefore, is not binding upon us. Host: Do you think that a donor country has the right to monitor the performance of the national institutions of the recipient country? Hussain Haqqani: During the visit of Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, the explanatory note by the U.S. Congress diluted this condition. Host: According to some reports, you have issued visas to the Blackwater personnel and some other Americans who pose a threat to our national security while the Pakistani intelligence agencies had expressed reservations in this regard. Hussain Haqqani: It is a grave misunderstanding. Everyone knows that the issuance of visas is not the prerogative of an ambassador. The interior ministry gives approval for working visas which also consults the military authorities on certain issues relating to the security of the country. So far, I have never interfered in any visa case. I utilize all my energies to lobby for Pakistan. The DynaCorp was allowed to work in Pakistan, and its owner is a close friend of former President Pervez Musharraf. Host: Presently, how many U.S. security agencies are operating in Pakistan? Hussain Haqqani: I think that that DynaCorp and Wakenhut are working in the country but there is no evidence regarding the presence of other companies. Host: Will the U.S. give us drone technology? Hussain Haqqani: Currently, they are offering drone technology for surveillance purposes. Host: The drone attacks in Pakistan kill innocent people including women and children. Do the American masses protest these attacks?

We want there should not be anti-Pakistan elements in the future Afghan government and the U.S. understands our point of view. Host: What is the latest situation of Dr. Aafia case? Hussain Haqqani: We have done our level best, and are still doing, on the diplomatic and legal fronts for the early release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui. No doubt, we had to suffer a setback on the legal grounds but we are still working on other option which cannot be made public at this time. Program: "Meray Mutabiq" Geo TV (01/21) Host: Dr. Shahid Masood Participants: Mushahid Hussain Syed (PML-Q); Lt. Gen Hameed Gul (Former Head ISI) Topic: Americans Increase Frequency Of Their Visits To Pakistan; Why? Host: At a time when the PPP government is facing gigantic problems and crises at home, what are the real motives of Americans' visits to Pakistan? These U.S. dignitaries also go the GHQ in Rawalpindi and meet with high-ranking military officials. Which institution is the actual policy-maker in Pakistan? Mushahid Hussain: I think the regional geopolitical situation has changed, and still changing, in Pakistan's favor. The U.S. economy and Afghanistan are the two cornerstones of President Barack Obama's strategy. For the former, he needs china's help, and for the latter he depends upon Pakistan. Now, instead of G-7, the G-2, China and the United States, has become the focus of international economic discussion. It means that, for the first time, Washington has recognized Beijing as an equal partner, at least in the economic sector. China is our time-tested friend, in other words, the regional situation is changing in our favor. The present Pakistani government is incompetent and has no strategy to skillfully use this opportunity. Hence, I do not think that the Americans will support it. Host: The U.S. has been entangled in the Afghan quagmire. There are reports that the U.S. negotiating with the Taliban. Has the U.S. taken Saudi Arabia and Pakistan on board, or it is directly talking to the Taliban? Hameed Gul: At present, no dialogue is underway between Taliban and the U.S., neither directly nor indirectly, because Washington has refused to give the deadline for withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan. In fact, India is exerting pressure on the U.S. to avoid withdrawing its troops because New Delhi has invested sums in Afghanistan. Besides, it has also strategic interests there. But Americans can no longer afford to continue their military presence in this country therefore India fear that it would be the prime loser in case the foreign forces withdraw from Afghanistan. The U.S. military defeat at the hands of the Taliban has provided Pakistan a golden opportunity. To face the Indian threat, we are in dire need of a safe and peaceful border in our west. Mushahid Hussain: We need to be very careful at this moment. Our blind support for the Afghan Taliban may alienate Iran, Turkey and China, all our best friends, who fear that the establishment of a extremist religious regime will have serious repercussions for their own security. To avoid such an eventuality, these countries may opt to join the Indian camp. Hence, we will have to take all the stakeholders on board while formulating our future strategy regarding the post-war Afghanistan. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767363 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767363 Date: 08/31/2015 Program: "Jawab Deyh" Geo TV (02/21) Host: lftikhar Ahmed Participants: Lt. Gen (R) Nishat Ahmed (Defense Analyst); Dr Hassan Askari (Analyst) Topic: U.S. Role In Pak-India Dialogue Host: It seems that India has offered to resume peace negotiations with Pakistan under the U.S. pressure. Is it reality? Do you have any evidence in this regard? Dr Hassan Askari: Washington and London have been working to convince Pakistan and India to resume talks in order to remove their mutual misunderstandings. At present, the U.S. enjoys cordial relations with both India and Pakistan. Particularly, since 2005, Washington is in better position to give advice to New Delhi on regional and global issues. I think that the fast-changing geopolitical situation in Afghanistan has prompted India to reduce tension in its relations with Pakistan through dialogue. Moreover, the U.S. thinks that Pakistan cannot fully concentrate on its border with Afghanistan, which is vital to win the war against terrorism, unless its eastern borders are not secured. Hence, the perception, that the U.S. is behind the Indian offer of dialogue, holds water and cannot be dismissed as mere a speculation. Host: Do you think that the U.S. understands our concerns regarding the Indian threat on our eastern border? Lt. Gen (R) Nishat Ahmed: Washington and its allies want that Pakistan should deploy its full military power on its western border in order to deal with the menace of terrorism. I think that the government as well as the military leadership of Pakistan have succeeded in convincing the U.S. that our country faces serious and potential threat from its eastern neighbor, India. Hence, it would be impossible for us to fully concentrate on the war against terrorism as long as the Indian threat on our eastern border is not eliminated, or at least not reduced. The entire world knows that Pakistan has always been attacked from its eastern border while India even played pivotal role in the dismemberment of Pakistan in 1971. Hence, I think that the U.S. and its allies convinced New Delhi that it would be in its own interest to hold dialogue with Islamabad.

Photograph: Julien Behal/PA Justice and policing powers will be devolved to Northern Ireland 's power-sharing government from 12 April in a historic deal agreed by the main parties that "opens a new chapter" after decades of violence, Gordon Brown said today. Standing alongside his Irish counterpart, Brian Cowen, at a press conference at Hillsborough Castle outside Belfast, the prime minister said the "inspirational" agreement between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) was a foundation for lasting peace. The deal — finally agreed to by the DUP last night and described as a final piece in the jigsaw after a long search for peace — comes after two weeks of round-the-clock negotiations and brings an end to fears that the power-sharing government might collapse. It will see policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to the assembly within weeks and includes new plans on overseeing parades. Brown, who travelled to Belfast this morning, said the agreement had been possible because of "a new spirit of mutual co-operation and respect". The deal meets a key Sinn Fein demand and prevents the republican party from walking out of the power-sharing executive. In return, the DUP has secured reforms to the way loyalist marches are handled in Northern Ireland, including the abolition of the Parades Commission, a body most unionists regard as biased in favour of nationalists. A cross-community vote will now be held in the Stormont assembly on 9 March before the policing and justice powers are devolved from London on 12 April. Brown told reporters: "The achievements have been as great as they are inspirational. This moment and this agreement belongs to the people of Northern Ireland, all of the people, and now more than ever before so does their future ... This is the last chapter of a long and troubled story and the beginning of a new chapter after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate." Cowen praised both unionists and nationalists for making "fair and balanced compromises" to bridge the divisions and said the quality of the negotiations meant that the "devolved institutions can and will work". The Northern Ireland secretary, Shaun Woodward, said the deal would further isolate republican dissidents who have launched three separate gun and bomb attacks against police stations in the province over the last 10 days. The deal would "absolutely" make Northern Ireland a safer place, he said. The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, said the agreement "will be more enduring because of the time spent" in forming it.

Sid Northern Ireland agrees power-sharing deal Gordon Brown hails historic deal which will see justice and policing powers be devolved to Stormont from 12 April * Henry McDonald * guardian.co.uk , Friday 5 February 2010 11.42 GMT Gordon Brown, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness Gordon Brown, the DUP leader, Peter Robinson, and Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness (I to r) talk to the press after the Northern Ireland power-sharing deal was announced. Photograph: Julien Behal/PA Justice and policing powers will be devolved to Northern Ireland 's power-sharing government from 12 April in a historic deal agreed by the main parties that "opens a new chapter" after decades of violence, Gordon Brown said today. Standing alongside his Irish counterpart, Brian Cowen, at a press conference at Hillsborough Castle outside Belfast, the prime minister said the "inspirational" agreement between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) was a foundation for lasting peace. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767374 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767374 Date: 08/31/2015 The deal —finally agreed to by the DUP last night and described as a final piece in the jigsaw after a long search for peace — comes after two weeks of round-the-clock negotiations and brings an end to fears that the power-sharing government might collapse. It will see policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to the assembly within weeks and includes new plans on overseeing parades. Brown, who travelled to Belfast this morning, said the agreement had been possible because of "a new spirit of mutual co-operation and respect". The deal meets a key Sinn Fein demand and prevents the republican party from walking out of the power-sharing executive. In return, the DUP has secured reforms to the way loyalist marches are handled in Northern Ireland, including the abolition of the Parades Commission, a body most unionists regard as biased in favour of nationalists. A cross-community vote will now be held in the Stormont assembly on 9 March before the policing and justice powers are devolved from London on 12 April. Brown told reporters: "The achievements have been as great as they are inspirational. This moment and this agreement belongs to the people of Northern Ireland, all of the people, and now more than ever before so does their future ... This is the last chapter of a long and troubled story and the beginning of a new chapter after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate." Cowen praised both unionists and nationalists for making "fair and balanced compromises" to bridge the divisions and said the quality of the negotiations meant that the "devolved institutions can and will work". The Northern Ireland secretary, Shaun Woodward, said the deal would further isolate republican dissidents who have launched three separate gun and bomb attacks against police stations in the province over the last 10 days. The deal would "absolutely" make Northern Ireland a safer place, he said. The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, said the agreement "will be more enduring because of the time spent" in forming it. Referring back to the Belfast Agreement of 1998 when negotiations bore fruit at the 11th hour, the Sinn Fein president, Gerry Adams, described the current deal and the rescue of power-sharing as "yet another very good Friday". Jeffrey Donaldson told the Guardian the DUP's 36-strong assembly team was now unanimously in favour of the deal. But the Ulster Unionist party (UUP) has yet to officially back the package which will allow the assembly to set up legislation to change the way parades are judged. A UUP spokeswoman said members wanted to see the proposed agreement before giving their response to the two governments. "We have not had sight of this agreement and until we do we will not be signing up to it," she said. The talks, which centred on Hillsborough Castle, outside Belfast, are the longest set of continuous negotiations held in the near 20-year peace process. Sinn Fein had accused the DUP of stalling on the transfer of policing powers for the last three years and it was feared that failure to find agreement could see the collapse of the power-sharing government led by the two parties. The agreement finally came near midnight at Stormont's parliament building. Earlier in the evening Sinn Fein had said the basis of a deal was on the table and it was giving the DUP leadership the time to persuade its party to accept it. Robinson emerged from a meeting of party colleagues to confirm that he had secured unanimous support for the proposals. Earlier in the week up to 14 DUP assembly members had opposed a proposed deal because it did not give unionists enough concessions. Robinson said he would now look to gain the support of the community and the smaller assembly parties for the deal. "We have a basis upon which we can go forward and recommend it [the deal] to our party, to the other parties in Northern Ireland and to the community. "An essential element of the Democratic Unionist Party's manifesto is the requirement for community confidence; we believe this can be the basis for gaining that confidence." However the leader of the hardline Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), Jim Allister, questioned why the 14 DUP rebels had changed their minds. "The deal hasn't changed, only the snowmen of the DUP, who melted once the heat came on," Allister said. The DUP now faces a struggle to ward off the TUV threat in the forthcoming general election. Allister will portray the deal as a sell-out of unionist principles and a sop to republicanism.

To my knowledge, all the countries in the region (from richest to poorest) have contributed in some form or another to the relief efforts. This is unprecedented in this region. And given that this effort relates to Haiti in particular, it is even more remarkable. As you know, Haiti since its independence in 1804 has often been seen by the rest of the region as a second class nation. As the Spanishspeaking nations of South America gained independence in the 1820s, they excluded Haiti from their designs for regional union — mostly out of fear by the Latins of slave revolts and uprisings by their own black and indigenous populations. (Of course, we have had our own complex and unfortunate relationship with Haiti.) As has been demonstrated by the recent UNASUR and Grupo Rio sessions, the same cannot be said of the region today. And of the countries S is visiting, Chile is the richest and Guatemala is by the far the poorest but each of these countries — and all in between - has been contributing in its own way to Haiti's recovery: Chile with significant MINUSTAH forces, a portable hospital, supplies, and monetary pledge; Guatemala with food, a rescue unit and a MINUSTAH pledge (and the fact that UN ASG Edmond Mulet is Guatemalan!). In the context of the relief response, each country in the region has given, more or less, relative to their means. Through this process of cooperation in Haiti's recovery, we as a region can collectively turn around Haiti's history of isolation. This is a very significant historic moment and we need to run with it. Sorry about the long email but wanted to share these thoughts — as one who has a particular relationship with the island of Hispaniola. In this context, I want to share a 1994 Washington Post below which, although • covering a different type of crisis, is demonstrative of how times have changed. Thanks. Julissa hi- Haiti's History of Isolation Makes U.S. Task Harder Article from: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767380 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767380 Date: 08/31/2015 The Washington Post Article date: July 25, 1994 Author: Roberto Suro More results for: haiti history of isolation The United States finds itself virtually alone struggling with the Haitian crisis. A handful of tiny Caribbean nations have agreed to shelter a few thousand refugees. But not one major political ally or trading partner in the Western Hemisphere has stepped up to help. In a joint statement yesterday, three of six Central American countries said they might take in Haitians. The other three said they would not. Slippery promises are all that President Clinton gets when he seeks recruits for a peacekeeping force; none seems willing to join an invasion to oust the military leaders who seized power in 1991. Panama's president-elect, Ernesto Perez Balladares, explained the lack of support in a recent interview: "It is for the very simple reason that in Latin America Haiti is not recognized as a Latin American country. Haitians speak a different language. They have different ethnic roots, a different culture. They are very different altogether." Overwhelmingly black, speaking Creole French, practicing voodoo, a nation of liberated slaves long locked in deep poverty, Haiti has a history of isolation within the hemisphere. It doesn't fit with the big countries of South America. It is not part of Central America. It has no real kinship with the other island-nations of the Caribbean. "Haitians are strangers even among the other black nations of the Caribbean," said Jocelyn McCalla, executive director of the National Coalition for Haitian Refugees, a New York-based advocacy group. Haitians are "just as strange to someone from Grenada or Jamaica as they would be to someone from Iowa or Montana."

In recent years, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations have worked to compel elections in Haiti, to put sanctions on its military regime and to monitor human rights abuses. Now, Clinton is asking for much more as he tries to create a network of refugee camps around the region and to assemble multinational backing for the forcible removal of Haiti's military regime. Finding partners for either sheltering refugees or invading would be a challenge no matter what country was involved. Petitioning on behalf of Haiti makes it much harder. "Unsympathetic perceptions of Haiti as a hopeless case work against the kind of cooperation that the administration is seeking, and those perceptions are deeply ingrained," said Wayne Smith, a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy. Haiti's isolation goes back to its 1804 independence. "Here was a nation born of a slave revolt. It raised fears of another slave revolt in many other nations which then simply shunned Haiti for decades to come," Smith said. As the Spanish-speaking nations of South America gained independence in the 1820s, they excluded Haiti from their designs for regional union. U.S. recognition did not come until 1862, when the Civil War made it politically expedient. Haiti's chronic poverty, its chaotic succession of despots and its conflicts with the Dominican Republic have deepened its isolation. Is racism a factor in the shunning of Haiti? Perhaps not: Black and mixed-race nations have sometimes demonstrated biases against Haiti. But allegations of racism have often beset U.S. policy toward Haiti and are a major factor in the evolution of the current crisis. The U.S. invasion of Haiti in 1915 produced a 19-year occupation that included the imposition of racial segregation and the use of forced labor.

This history, Robinson said, combined with the fact that the slave revolt earned Haiti "a place of pride for people in the African diaspora," has made U.S. policy toward Haiti a logical target for U.S. blacks. The activism has focused on what Robinson called "the despicable practice of repatriation." Since 1991 the United States has tried to intercept Haitian boat people fleeing the military regime before they could reach U.S. shores; most have been taken back to Haiti. No other nationality has suffered that form of rejection. As Robinson went into the 27th day of a hunger strike on May 8, Clinton announced he would end the repatriation policy and begin more aggressive efforts to remove the Haitian military regime. But Haiti's isolation has contributed to Clinton's setbacks trying to deal with the intertwined problems of the generals and the refugees fleeing them. On July 7, Panama backed out of an agreement to accept 10,000 Haitians, citing technicalities in the Panama Canal Treaty. Balladares, who has promised to consider a more limited safe haven for Haitians after he takes office Sept. 1, said the decision had nothing to do with the 1978 treaty and everything to do with the way ordinary Panamanians view Haitians. "People were very afraid of having the Haitians in the country and justifiably so," he said. "They were afraid of competing for scarce resources, afraid of people whose culture is different in many ways, afraid of the AIDS problem. That is why the government backed out and everything else is excuses." Piero Gleijeses, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, said: "Even if the Latin Americans felt some kinship to the Haitians, they would not be anxious to take in refugees under these circumstances. They see the big, rich United States, a traditional nation of resettlement, turning away the Haitians and they ask why they should have to take up the burden." Nearly all nations of the hemisphere have rallied around the idea of restoring democracy to Haiti, but they are as reluctant to pursue that goal with force as they are to shelter Haitian refugees. Both fundamental trends and the peculiarities of the Haitian case are at work.

For example, an OAS resolution censuring the United States for the 1989 invasion of Panama marked the first time since the founding of the organization 42 years earlier that it had formally criticized the United States. In addition, the absence of a functioning political infrastructure and the prospects for lingering violence in Haiti have made many Latin American countries leery of joining a peacekeeping force. Chile, which in early July said it would support the restoration of democracy through a multinational effort, has since insisted that it would offer "technical assistance" only after a democratic government was operating in Haiti and could specifically request such help. Summing up the attitudes across the region, Balladares said, "Everyone just wishes that this problem would go away."

Photograph: Julien Behal/PA Justice and policing powers will be devolved to Northern Ireland 's power-sharing government from 12 April in a historic deal agreed by the main parties that "opens a new chapter" after decades of violence, Gordon Brown said today. Standing alongside his Irish counterpart, Brian Cowen, at a press conference at Hillsborough Castle outside Belfast, the prime minister said the "inspirational" agreement between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) was a foundation for lasting peace. The deal — finally agreed to by the DUP last night and described as a final piece in the jigsaw after a long search for peace — comes after two weeks of round-the-clock negotiations and brings an end to fears that the power-sharing government might collapse. It will see policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to the assembly within weeks and includes new plans on overseeing parades. Brown, who travelled to Belfast this morning, said the agreement had been possible because of "a new spirit of mutual co-operation and respect". The deal meets a key Sinn Fein demand and prevents the republican party from walking out of the power-sharing executive. In return, the DUP has secured reforms to the way loyalist marches are handled in Northern Ireland, including the abolition of the Parades Commission, a body most unionists regard as biased in favour of nationalists. A cross-community vote will now be held in the Stormont assembly on 9 March before the policing and justice powers are devolved from London on 12 April. Brown told reporters: "The achievements have been as great as they are inspirational. This moment and this agreement belongs to the people of Northern Ireland, all of the people, and now more than ever before so does their future ... This is the last chapter of a long and troubled story and the beginning of a new chapter after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate." Cowen praised both unionists and nationalists for making "fair and balanced compromises" to bridge the divisions and said the quality of the negotiations meant that the "devolved institutions can and will work". The Northern Ireland secretary, Shaun Woodward, said the deal would further isolate republican dissidents who have launched three separate gun and bomb attacks against police stations in the province over the last 10 days. The deal would "absolutely" make Northern Ireland a safer place, he said. The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, said the agreement "will be more enduring because of the time spent" in forming it. Referring back to the Belfast Agreement of 1998 when negotiations bore fruit at the 11th hour, the Sinn Fein president, Gerry Adams, described the current deal and the rescue of power-sharing as "yet another very good Friday". Jeffrey Donaldson told the Guardian the DUP's 36-strong assembly team was now unanimously in favour of the deal. But the Ulster Unionist party (UUP) has yet to officially back the package which will allow the assembly to set up legislation to change the way parades are judged. A UUP spokeswoman said members wanted to see the proposed agreement before giving their response to the two governments. "We have not had sight of this agreement and until we do we will not be signing up to it," she said. The talks, which centred on Hillsborough Castle, outside Belfast, are the longest set of continuous negotiations held in the near 20-year peace process. Sinn Fein had accused the DUP of stalling on the transfer of policing powers for the last UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767384 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767384 Date: 08/31/2015 three years and it was feared that failure to find agreement could see the collapse of the power-sharing government led by the two parties. The agreement finally came near midnight at Stormont's parliament building. Earlier in the evening Sinn Fein had said the basis of a deal was on the table and it was giving the DUP leadership the time to persuade its party to accept it. Robinson emerged from a meeting of party colleagues to confirm that he had secured unanimous support for the proposals. Earlier in the week up to 14 DUP assembly members had opposed a proposed deal because it did not give unionists enough concessions. Robinson said he would now look to gain the support of the community and the smaller assembly parties for the deal. "We have a basis upon which we can go forward and recommend it [the deal] to our party, to the other parties in Northern Ireland and to the community. "An essential element of the Democratic Unionist Party's manifesto is the requirement for community confidence; we believe this can be the basis for gaining that confidence." However the leader of the hardline Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), Jim Allister, questioned why the 14 DUP rebels had changed their minds. "The deal hasn't changed, only the snowmen of the DUP, who melted once the heat came on," Allister said. The DUP now faces a struggle to ward off the TUV threat in the forthcoming general election. Allister will portray the deal as a sell-out of unionist principles and a sop to republicanism.

The Tories have signed a contract with Squier, Knapp, Dunn Communications—a Washington-based Democrat-leaning political consultancy— to help them prepare for the first-ever television debates between leaders during a British election camialin. David Cameron The firm also is expected to offer some advice more broadly to the Tory leader on the Conservative campaign in the leadup to voting, likely to take place on May 6. Opinion polls have suggested a narrowing of the gap between the two main parties—with the Conservative lead cut to six to seven points in the two most recent polls earlier this week. A Conservative spokesman confirmed Wednesday night that Squier, Knapp, Dunn will act as consultants for the television debates. Anita Dunn, one of the firm's senior partners, was hired by Mr. Obama in 2006 ahead of his run for president and was the communications director at the White House until November. Bill Knapp, another senior partner and veteran of the successful Obama campaign, is a close adviser to the mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg. Tory campaign insiders say they have been talking to the firm for several months after a recommendation from Mayor Bloomberg, who retains close links with the British Tory leadership. He was a lifelong Democrat who switched to the Republicans when he first ran for mayor. The British general election is taking on a particularly American flavor, with the prime minister also understood to be seeking advice from a consultant based in the U.S. The Times of London reported that Joel Benenson, a polling and strategy adviser who worked on the team that readied Mr. Obama for the American TV debates, is helping Mr. Brown. None of the British parties has experience of leaders' debates and as a consequence are looking outside for help. However, it is the decision of the Tories to reach out across the traditional ideological divide to senior Democrats that is surprising. Their party usually has looked to Republican strategists for advice, with Labour and the Democrats retaining close links. Ms. Dunn is a veteran of Democrat politics, beginning her career in Jimmy Carter's administration and subsequently working as a consultant on many election campaigns.

Mr. Knapp made television ads for the Obama campaign, has worked on five presidential campaigns and played a leading role in Mayor Bloomberg's three election wins. The pre-election atmosphere in the U.K. has become increasingly fraught, with the parties trading blows on allegations of bullying inside No. 10 Downing Street made in a new book on the Labour government by journalist Andrew Rawnsley. In the latest developments, the prime minister Wednesday in a GMTV breakfast television interview denied that he had known about briefings by some of his aides against Alistair Darling, his chancellor of the exchequer. In a remarkably frank interview Tuesday with Jeff Randall of Sky News, Mr. Darling said that when he remarked in the summer of 2008 that the worst global recession in 60 years was underway, No. 10 had "unleashed the forces of hell." Mr Brown said on GMTV: "I was never part of anything to do with this. Look, this was the most amazing time.. .and lots of things were happening in this time. But I would never instruct anybody to do anything other than support my chancellor, and I think Alistair will confirm that." At a rowdy Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons Wednesday, Mr. Cameron questioned Mr. Brown on the row.

Sid Northern Ireland agrees power-sharing deal Gordon Brown hails historic deal which will see justice and policing powers be devolved to Stormont from 12 April * Henry McDonald * guardian.co.uk , Friday 5 February 2010 11.42 GMT Gordon Brown, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness Gordon Brown, the DUP leader, Peter Robinson, and Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness (I to r) talk to the press after the Northern Ireland power-sharing deal was announced. Photograph: Julien Behal/PA Justice and policing powers will be devolved to Northern Ireland 's power-sharing government from 12 April in a historic deal agreed by the main parties that "opens a new chapter" after decades of violence, Gordon Brown said today. Standing alongside his Irish counterpart, Brian Cowen, at a press conference at Hillsborough Castle outside Belfast, the prime minister said the "inspirational" agreement between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist party (DUP) was a foundation for lasting peace. The deal —finally agreed to by the DUP last night and described as a final piece in the jigsaw after a long search for peace — comes after two weeks of round-the-clock negotiations and brings an end to fears that the power-sharing government might collapse. It will see policing and justice powers devolved from Westminster to the assembly within weeks and includes new plans on overseeing parades. Brown, who travelled to Belfast this morning, said the agreement had been possible because of "a new spirit of mutual co-operation and respect". The deal meets a key Sinn Fein demand and prevents the republican party from walking out of the power-sharing executive. In return, the DUP has secured reforms to the way loyalist marches are handled in Northern Ireland, including the abolition of the Parades Commission, a body most unionists regard as biased in favour of nationalists. A cross-community vote will now be held in the Stormont assembly on 9 March before the policing and justice powers are devolved from London on 12 April. Brown told reporters: "The achievements have been as great as they are inspirational. This moment and this agreement belongs to the people of Northern Ireland, all of the people, and now more than ever before so does their future ... This is the last chapter of a long and troubled story and the beginning of a new chapter after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate." Cowen praised both unionists and nationalists for making "fair and balanced compromises" to bridge the divisions and said the quality of the negotiations meant that the "devolved institutions can and will work". The Northern Ireland secretary, Shaun Woodward, said the deal would further isolate republican dissidents who have launched three separate gun and bomb attacks against police stations in the province over the last 10 days. The deal would "absolutely" make Northern Ireland a safer place, he said. The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, said the agreement "will be more enduring because of the time spent" in forming it. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767429 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767429 Date: 08/31/2015 Referring back to the Belfast Agreement of 1998 when negotiations bore fruit at the 11th hour, the Sinn Fein president, Gerry Adams, described the current deal and the rescue of power-sharing as "yet another very good Friday". Jeffrey Donaldson told the Guardian the DUP's 36-strong assembly team was now unanimously in favour of the deal. But the Ulster Unionist party (UUP) has yet to officially back the package which will allow the assembly to set up legislation to change the way parades are judged. A UUP spokeswoman said members wanted to see the proposed agreement before giving their response to the two governments. "We have not had sight of this agreement and until we do we will not be signing up to it," she said. The talks, which centred on Hillsborough Castle, outside Belfast, are the longest set of continuous negotiations held in the near 20-year peace process. Sinn Fein had accused the DUP of stalling on the transfer of policing powers for the last three years and it was feared that failure to find agreement could see the collapse of the power-sharing government led by the two parties. The agreement finally came near midnight at Stormont's parliament building. Earlier in the evening Sinn Fein had said the basis of a deal was on the table and it was giving the DUP leadership the time to persuade its party to accept it. Robinson emerged from a meeting of party colleagues to confirm that he had secured unanimous support for the proposals. Earlier in the week up to 14 DUP assembly members had opposed a proposed deal because it did not give unionists enough concessions. Robinson said he would now look to gain the support of the community and the smaller assembly parties for the deal. "We have a basis upon which we can go forward and recommend it [the deal] to our party, to the other parties in Northern Ireland and to the community. "An essential element of the Democratic Unionist Party's manifesto is the requirement for community confidence; we believe this can be the basis for gaining that confidence." However the leader of the hardline Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV), Jim Allister, questioned why the 14 DUP rebels had changed their minds. "The deal hasn't changed, only the snowmen of the DUP, who melted once the heat came on," Allister said. The DUP now faces a struggle to ward off the TUV threat in the forthcoming general election. Allister will portray the deal as a sell-out of unionist principles and a sop to republicanism.

Lowey raised two concerns: first, that we don't care about education in Haiti and, second, that we don't care about education in general. Jack pushed back on both fronts. He noted that Lowey also emphasized the need for accountability in what we are spending. Oberstar identified the type of trees that need to be planted for reforestation in Haiti, and said that the shift to propane gas won't work; we need instead to focus on providing the right sort of charcoal. • H reported Friday's CODEL to Haiti has been cancelled. • Jack noted that we will set up monthly meetings on Iraq transition with the team here in Washington and the team in Baghdad. He also reported on a meeting with a two-star General and our DCM yesterday, in which the two-star complained about allegedly inadequate funding in our budget for transition issues in 2011. Jack said that the budget had been agreed interagency and DoD had endorsed it. Iraq Middle East • Northern Mexico Pat voiced concern over the uptick in violence in northern Mexico and possible threats to our employees, noting we were doing everything possible to keep our people safe.

It's disgusting and completely unfair. On overall Afghanistan coverage, Embassy London is also concerned. We engage every day on this topic, either through briefings, interviews with policy makers coming through (recent highlight was a brilliant interview by Newsnight's Paxman with Holbrooke), facilitating media enbeds and reporting on the ground, making and pushing out speeches, discussions with journalists. We work closely with colleagues in Kabul, NATO and elsewhere. We get decent support from Washington and other field elements, although sometimes we struggle to get basic information from our colleagues, such as total number of troops involved in Operation Moshtarak. One challenge for us is that we are tightly bound here in the public mind to HMG on this issue. And in the run-up to the UK election, some media outlets see criticism of the effort in Afghanistan as an effective way to campaign against Gordon Brown. Sometimes they ricochet a shot off of us in order to hit the main target. The Murdoch outlets, of which the Times is one, have a headline goal of getting Cameron elected, which is what told me outright earlier this week. This cartoon was possibly one of those ricochet shots, but that sure doesn't excuse it. Thanks for your note—I really appreciate you thinking of us. We will continue to fight hard and we'll rely on your support. Ambassador Susman and I will discuss the Times and other News Corporation coverage of the war with James Murdoch, whom we will see on March 15.

La Stampa on-line says the "Safi Hotel, where foreigners stay, was targeted.... The attack [comes] as IndiaPakistan negotiations resume." France 24 TV comments, "What needs to be understood is that this is a ninelevel hotel in which all the windows exploded, up to the very top of the hotel, which proves how powerful the explosion was. Afghan policemen are very nervous." Meanwhile, print media report the "Afghan government hoists flag over Taliban stronghold Marjah" (Dutch daily Trouw). Dziennik Gazeta Prawna notes that locals "testify that most of the Taliban withdrew from Marja without fighting, and they will try to return when the U.S. forces leave the area." The Independent says that "despite victories in the Marjah offensive, Afghans worry that militants have lived to fight another day." Other coverage notes civilian casualties. A day after leading with the story that "NATO admits that deaths of 8 boys were a mistake," The Times runs a large editorial cartoon showing U.S. soldiers in the pose of the Iwo Jima memorial, hoisting the Afghan flag into the bloody body of an Afghan civilian.

Sid http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/feb/05/northern-ireland-police-powers-agreement Brown hails 'new chapter' in Northern Ireland as end to years of violence Promise of US investment follows 'momentous' agreement that seals power-sharing framework • • • Henry McDonald, Ireland correspondent quardian.co.uk, Friday 5 February 2010 19.11 GMT X British and Irish PMs endorse power-sharing deal Link to this video Northern Ireland's leaders have been rewarded with the promise of a new US investment programme after securing a historic deal today which saved power sharing. Gordon Brown and his Irish counterpart, Brian Cowen, flew into Northern Ireland to put their seal of approval on the deal, which will create a Department of Justice, gives unionists concessions on the issue of Protestant parades and saves the power-sharing executive from collapse. Brown said the achievements over the longest period of unbroken negotiations since the peace process began 16 years ago were inspirational. "This is the last chapter of a long and troubled story and the beginning of a new chapter after decades of violence, years of talks, weeks of stalemate." Tonight the White House said Barack Obama saw the deal as "an important step to greater peace and prosperity for all communities on the island." Obama would also meet Cowen, the DUP leader and first minister Peter Robinson and the deputy first minister, Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, in Washington on St Patrick's Day next month. Earlier, Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, said the agreement between the DUP and Sinn Fein was a "shining example to other parts of the world locked in religious and ethnic conflicts". As a result of the deal, she said: "The people of Northern Ireland are poised to build a thriving society on this stronger foundation. Our economic envoy, DecIan Kelly, will continue to help Northern Ireland reap the dividends of peace, including economic growth, international investment and new opportunities. In the near future, Declan and I will host first minister Robinson and deputy first minister McGuinness in Washington." The Irish prime minister said the agreement reached "presents a real opportunity to renew the partnership which is the life blood of the devolved institutions. The people of Northern Ireland yearn for this constructive partnership to deliver tangible outcomes that improve their lives." Referring back to the Belfast agreement of 1998, Gerry Adams, the Sinn Fein president, described today's agreement as "yet another good Friday." After reaching an agreement just before midnight on Thursday, the parties in the Northern Ireland assembly must now vote to put the compromise package in place. They will vote on 9 March to devolve policing and justice powers, which will then create a justice ministry on 12 April — a key Sinn Fein demand throughout these negotiations. Under the agreement, a six-member working group, appointed by Robinson and McGuinness, will formulate a framework for handling contentious marches and the phasing out of the Parades Commission.

It will complete its work within three weeks, when the Northern Ireland executive will transfer responsibilities for parading legislation from Westminster and table a new bill based on the group's proposals. An executive working group will be set up, in the hands of the SDLP and Ulster Unionists, to improve the way the powersharing cabinet is run. Robinson and McGuinness will address issues still outstanding from the 2006 St Andrews agreement that led to the DUP-Sinn Fein deals. These include legislative measures to protect the rights of Irish language speakers. Ian Paisley Jr, the North Antrim assembly member and son of the DUP's founder, described the agreement as a "win for unionism". Paisley said his party had negotiated the end of the Parades Commission, which most unionists regard as biased in favour of nationalists. He added that unionist critics of the deal had "no alternative except the imposition of joint authority from London and Dublin". Mindful of attacks on the DUP by the hardline Traditional Unionist Voice, Robinson said: "There are some who will play politics with this agreement, but the real focus in the months to come must be on building an administration at Stormont that our whole community identifies with and supports." Jim Allister, the TUV leader and a former DUP MEP, said he was "relishing the prospect" of a general election contest with his former party. Allister will stand for the TUV in Ian Paisley Sr's North Antrim constituency. "In football terms I see this result as a five to one win for Sinn Fein. They get their date for policing and justice. Secondly, their veto can be exercised over the justice ministry. They now have working party on Irish language. North/South bodies are strengthened. And finally there is a stronger north-south parliamentary forum. The DUP only get a view of parading issues. "Sinn Fein are laughing all the way to the next staging post," he said. Shaun Woodward, the Northern Ireland secretary, said the deal was bad news for republican dissidents determined to destabilise the power-sharing government. He said a powerful message was being sent out to the dissidents that there are now "two groups of people who were once terrible rivals [who] have found a way through a very big challenge". But the Real IRA, Continuity IRA and Oglaigh na hEireann are unlikely to be moved by the accord at Hillsborough. In the past seven days the republican dissidents have carried out three gun and bomb attacks on police stations across Northern Ireland. Republican sources have told the Guardian that the groups are likely to intensify their armed campaigns when policing and justice powers are transferred to Belfast.

Richard Shelby, R-Ala., has placed a blanket hold on all executive nominations on the Senate calendar in an effort to win concessions from the Obama administration and Pentagon on a variety of fronts affecting his home state, according to aides to Senate Majority Leader Reid. Reid spokeswoman Regan Lachapelle said Shelby is blocking more than 70 pending nominations. Reid can force a vote on any nomination by filing cloture. Because of the time required to vote on multiple nominations, the Senate processes most nominations by unanimous consent. Any one senator can block any of those nominations by objecting to a unanimous consent request to take it up. The nominations will remain stalled unless Reid files cloture. While holds are frequent, Senate aides said a blanket hold represents a far more aggressive use of the power than is normal. "He should not be holding up 70-plus nominees for a parochial issue," a Democratic aide said. "They're qualified and they should be moving forward." Disclosure of the blanket hold came after two days in which top Democrats voiced mounting frustration with Republican holds on executive nominees. 'We've got a huge backlog of folks who are unanimously viewed as well qualified -- nobody has a specific objection to them -- but end up having a hold on them because of some completely unrelated piece of business," President Obama said Wednesday in a televised meeting with Senate Democrats. On the Senate floor Thursday, Reid, Senate Majority Whip Durbin, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy and Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin ripped Republicans for holds on national security nominees and judges. Reid, who kept the Senate in pro forma session over recent holidays to prevent former President George W. Bush from making recess appointments, said he has grown so frustrated he might advocate such appointments, which the president can make when the Senate is out of session. 'What alternatives do we have?" Reid said on the floor Thursday. "What alternative do we have?" Earlier in the day, a spokesman for Shelby said the senator has placed holds on "several pending nominees due to unaddressed national security concerns," including frustrations with the Air Force's handling of the competition for an aerial refueling tanker. The spokesman did not respond to later requests for comment about the blanket hold. Northrop Grumman Corp. and EADS, the European consortium behind Airbus, and Boeing Co. are vying for the highstakes contract, potentially worth $40 billion. The Northrop/EADS team would build the planes in Mobile, Ala., but has threatened to pull out of the competition unless the Air Force makes changes to a draft request for proposals.

"The Department of Defense must recognize that the draft request for proposal needs to be significantly and substantively changed." Defense Secretary Gates Wednesday told House lawmakers the Pentagon plans to issue the final request for proposals soon, and will proceed with the program whether or not there is a competition. "Obviously we would like to have a competition for it, and we hope that both companies will agree to participate, but we will move forward," Gates said. "We have to have new tankers." In addition to the tanker issue, Shelby's spokesman said he is frustrated that the Obama administration won't build an Alabama-based FBI center to analyze improvised explosive devices. Shelby secured a $45 million earmark in the FY08 omnibus appropriations bill for a Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center to be set up at the Army's Redstone Arsenal. "Sen. Shelby will continue to work with the FBI to give them the capability to coordinate intelligence as well as forensic and technical exploitation related to IEDs, but this administration's coddling of terrorists makes this an uphill effort," the spokesman said. "He has made the administration aware of these concerns and is willing to discuss them at any time." Also Thursday, Vice President Biden said he was so frustrated by Republican foot-dragging that he was considering whether Senate rules should be changed. "There's a little disappointment in that it seems like the only way to do business up here anymore is with a supermajority on almost everything," Biden said moments after swearing in Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., who gives Republicans 41 votes, enough to filibuster on any issue. 'What I have been doing is spending a lot of time having my staff go back and scrub this, you know, the use of the filibuster and how it's worked," Biden said. "This is not a constitutional requirement." Biden defended the 60-vote requirement, calling it "a useful tool. It's legitimate, but from my perspective having served here, having been elected seven times, I've never seen a time when it's become sort of standard operating procedure. ... Requiring a supermajority is just not a good way to do business." by Dan Friedman and Megan Scully UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767454 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767460 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Sullivan, Jacob J Friday, February 5, 2010 1:36 PM Geithner They may seek Geithner's co-signature on the letter, if they can get him while he's in Canada snow-boarding.

Soaring cost of healthcare sets a record By Noam N. Levey February 4, 2010 Los Angeles Times Spending was 17.3% of the economy last year. The share paid by the U.S. will soon exceed 50%, a study says. In a stark reminder of growing costs, the government has released a new estimate that healthcare spending grew to a record 17.3% of the U.S. economy last year, marking the largest one-year jump in its share of the economy since the government started keeping such records half a century ago. The almost $2.5 trillion spent in 2009 was $134 billion more than the previous year, when healthcare consumed 16.2% of the gross domestic product, according to an annual report by independent actuaries at the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, scheduled for release Thursday. The nonpartisan accounting agency also projected that as early as next year, the country could mark another milestone as government picks up more than half of the nation's total healthcare tab for the first time. The rise in current costs, driven in part by surging spending in Medicare and Medicaid, and the bleak projections for the future do not take into account changes that may come if Democrats revive their healthcare overhaul legislation. The report appears likely to fuel further debate about the health bills now stalled in Congress. In the absence of change, the report raises a grim prospect for the country -- a healthcare system consuming an ever greater and potentially unsustainable share of the economy even as private health coverage lags. Last year, CMS estimated that government spending on healthcare would not overtake private spending until 2016, compared with 2011 or 2012 in the current report. "The health system is hurting, and we are seeing that in these numbers," said Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund, a leading authority on healthcare policy. The report also points up the financial cost of the so-called Great Recession and the growing pressure it is putting on state and local governments. Federal and state spending on Medicaid, the nation's primary health insurance program for low-income Americans, jumped nearly 10% in 2009, according to the report. Medicare spending, meanwhile, shot up just over 8%. Obama and many healthcare experts have argued that reshaping the healthcare system will ultimately make it more efficient, even if overall health spending continues to increase -- a claim Republicans dispute. Fueled by new technology, an aging population, rising incomes and other changes, spending on medical care has been consuming a larger and larger share of the nation's economy for years, jumping from about 5% of the gross domestic product in 1960 to nearly 14% in 2000. But the recession that began in 2007 accelerated that trend, as the economy contracted while healthcare spending continued to increase, according to CMS. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767469 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767469 Date: 08/31/2015 Even now, with the economy slowly recovering, the government expects that the growth of healthcare spending will outpace the expansion of the economy. By 2020, 1 of every 5 dollars spent in the U.S. is expected to go to healthcare. Some economists believe that this is not necessarily a problem, as the healthcare industry can provide good jobs and improve both health and productivity. But there is growing concern that as much as a third of the medical care delivered in this country does not help patients. "Are we getting value for the dollar? That is the question," said Len Nichols, health policy director at the centrist New America Foundation. "If you believe that so much medical care is unnecessary, as I do, then it is criminal that we are spending so much." Stuart Butler, vice president for domestic and economic policy at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said that the numbers underscore the need for more aggressive action to curb spending. "The only way to do this is to simply spend less," Butler said, warning that the health bills being pushed on Capitol Hill do the opposite. CMS officials noted that healthcare spending has been increasing even as the number of Americans without health insurance is growing, another sign of problems with the system. "With higher unemployment, people lose their jobs [and] many of them lose their healthcare coverage in the process. And under current law, they don't have much to fall back on," said Richard S. Foster, chief actuary. Foster said that the report by his office indicated that two of the main trends driving calls for a health overhaul -- rising costs and shrinking numbers of people with health coverage -- are essentially the same as they were when the healthcare debate began last year. "Nothing much has changed in that regard," he said. Inefficiency is becoming a particularly acute problem for state and federal governments, which the report shows are increasingly supporting the nation's healthcare system. Half a century ago, government accounted for just a quarter of all healthcare spending. Now, as the cost of caring for elderly and poor Americans swells, government's share of the total bill is fast becoming greater than that of the private sector. The trend accelerated in the recession, as Washington spent billions of dollars to help states prop up Medicaid programs being strained by the growing ranks of the unemployed and uninsured. The healthcare legislation being debated on Capitol Hill could increase the government commitment to healthcare as the federal government boosts the Medicaid program and provides billions of dollars of subsidies to low- and moderateincome Americans to help them buy insurance. But in a separate report a month ago, CMS actuaries estimated that the Senate healthcare bill would boost total healthcare spending by less than 1% over the next decade, in large part because the legislation includes initiatives to make Medicare more efficient.

While Solimon responded positively to S/E Mitchell's request that Egypt encourage Palestinian President Abbas to agree to proximity talks, Aboul Gheit asserted that the Palestinians should not agree to any form of negotiations until Israel has taken action on the "five steps" requested by the Palestinians. Aboul Gheit then hosted a meeting on February 3 with Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Jordanian FM Nasser Judeh, which Solimon attended in part. Egypt and Jordan agreed to support the Palestinians entry into proximity talks, but the three sides also agreed that Abbas would seek U.S. views on two questions: 1) The terms of reference for the proximity talks and 2) Whether the U.S. would present its own bridging proposals on final status issues or simply serve as a conduit for the parties' positions.

While Solimon responded positively to S/E Mitchell's request that Egypt encourage Palestinian President Abbas to agree to proximity talks, Aboul Gheit asserted that the Palestinians should not agree to any form of negotiations until Israel has taken action on the "five steps" requested by the Palestinians. Aboul Gheit then hosted a meeting on February 3 with Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Jordanian FM Nasser Judeh, which Solimon attended in part. Egypt and Jordan agreed to support the Palestinians entry into proximity talks, but the three sides also agreed that Abbas would seek U.S. views on two questions: 1) The terms of reference for the proximity talks and 2) Whether the U.S. would present its own bridging proposals on final status issues or simply serve as a conduit for the parties' positions. Deputy Envoy David Hale met with Abbas on February 5, during which Abbas indicated flexibility on both the terms of reference (he would accept a general formula based on language from the Roadmap) and on the U.S. role. You should emphasize that it is critical that Abbas agree to begin proximity talks immediately to lay the foundation for negotiations that will realize Palestinian aspirations for an independent and viable state.

Sid hrc memo DEW 020610.docx CONFIDENTIAL February 6, 2010 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Distant early warning signs You should read this. This piece is prominently featured today in the Telegraph. It is a Tory paper. But it reflects more or less the current conventional wisdom in the UK. Of course, it's much worse in France. Sarkozy's unleashed id is the barometer. You are still perceived as separate and even increasingly as compensatory. The more coverage of your NI role, the better, if it can be done. (Let me discuss with Shaun on a strategy on how to brief.) The China/Google stand was critical. What can be done in Middle East, esp Syria, push back against Avigdor Lieberman's recent unpleasant noises, with new US ambo going? Just a thought. And: the attitude that the president's cancellation of attendance at US-EU summit is simply a merited position is self-defeating. First, the Europeans learned from the press, not through diplomatic channels beforehand, treated as second class. Second, of course the EU is what it is, esp after the new nonentities named at its head at Merkel and Sarko's behest. But to dismiss the EU because of that is smug and complacent. If the EU has no agenda, it's really up to the US, as it was for 50 years before. It's up to the US to organize around a new agenda on the crisis of global economy, including a common approach to China's mercantilism and climate change, etc, nuclear proliferation, etc. Otherwise, petty trade wars will begin to dominate US-EU relations. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/7174195/Barack-Obama-stumbling-towards-isolationism.html Barad( Obama: stumbling towards isolationism One of the ironies of Barack Obama's presidency is that he is increasingly distant from the world he promised to embrace, writes Toby Harnden in Washington Toby Harnden's American Way Published: 2:00PM GMT 06 Feb 2010 Europeans cheered Barack °barna every step of the way to the White House. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767515 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767515 Date: 08/31/2015 They swooned when the candidate took his stump skills to Berlin, where he spoke of "the burdens of global citizenship" and promised to "remake the world". He had lived in Indonesia as a boy, travelled to Pakistan and Africa in his youth and came from a family that looked, as he liked to quip, "like the United Nations". Then, in his first year in office, he made 10 trips abroad to 21 countries, making him the most travelled of all United States presidents in their first 12 months. So it came as a rude shock to Europeans last week when Obama decided not to bother with the European Union knees up Madrid in May - particularly miffing Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero of Spain, who, like the American president, campaigned on his opposition to the Iraq war. American officials intimated that they were unimpressed by European bickering over who would sit next to the Obamas at the summit dinner and even over who would be the first leader to shake the hand of the person that Oprah Winfrey anointed as "the One" in Iowa back in 2008. Perhaps Obama himself was a touch irritated by Nicolas Sarkozy's new habit of mocking him. "Obama has been in power for a year, and he has already lost three special elections," the French president said last week. "Me, I have won two legislative elections and the EU election. What can one say I've lost?" The discomfort of Europe's elites indicates growing a realisation that perhaps he's just not that into them. The fact that Hillary Clinton, Obama's Secretary of State, felt the need to point out that "European security remains an anchor of US foreign and security policy" spoke volumes. There is little sign that Obama feels the kind of instinctive belief in transatlantic alliances that, for instance, President George W Bush felt. In Washington, the much-ballyhooed "special relationship" - a phrase that Team Obama views as betraying a British inferiority complex and cloying neediness - has never felt less special. That's partly because Gordon Brown is viewed as so toxic by the Obama administration that dealings with Downing Street are in a state of virtual suspended animation. But there are no indications yet that a Prime Minister David Cameron will have the red carpet rolled out for him. One of Obama's conceits was that he would be the "Pacific president", looking west from his native Hawaii to China, India and Japan rather than east to America's traditional allies. It's as if Obama has embraced Donald Rumsfeld's much-maligned concept of "old Europe" - and broadened it. The Czech Republic and Poland were told in late-night phone calls that planned missile defence sites on their territory were being abandoned. Mid-level American officials often produce plans and papers about Helmand that overlook the fact that British troops have been fighting and dying there since 2006. Obama's foreign policy sometimes seems like it does not go much further than the concept of "le monde, c'est moi". The limits of his transcendental personality in terms of results are becoming as apparent abroad as they are at home. Relations with China sunk to a new low last week after the Obama decided to sell $6.4 billion in arms to Taiwan and to meet the Dalai Lama. After kowtowing to China by avoiding discussion of human rights in a humiliatingly ineffectual trip last November and failing to see the Tibetan monk, Obama's decided to get tough - though to what end is unclear. Having offered an "unclenched fist" to Iran, Obama has been almost casually rebuffed. As Sarkozy put it: "What have these proposals for dialogue produced for the international community? Nothing but more enriched uranium and more centrifuges." In the Middle East, Obama's popularity is sliding among both Israelis and Arabs and the prospects of meaningful peace talks are dire. Requests to Nato for more troops to train Afghan security forces have fallen largely on deaf ears. Suddenly, the US no longer feels like the indispensable nation. For all his talk of reaching out to the world and his apologies on behalf of America, there is little that Obama has achieved. He is liked but not respected - and there are growing doubts about whether he has the backbone or the domestic political capital to deliver.

This piece is prominently featured today in the Telegraph. It is a Tory paper. But it reflects more or less the current conventional wisdom in the UK. Of course, it's much worse in France. Sarkozy's unleashed id is the barometer. You are still perceived as separate and even increasingly as compensatory. The more coverage of your NI role, the better, if it can be done. (Let me discuss with Shaun on a strategy on how to brief.) The China/Google stand was critical. What can be done in Middle East, esp Syria, push back against Avigdor Lieberman's recent unpleasant noises, with new US ambo going? Just a thought. And: the attitude that the president's cancellation of attendance at US-EU summit is simply a merited position is self-defeating. First, the Europeans learned from the press, not through diplomatic channels beforehand, treated as second class. Second, of course the EU is what it is, esp after the new nonentities named at its head at Merkel and Sarko's behest. But to dismiss the EU because of that is smug and complacent. If the EU has no agenda, it's really up to the US, as it was for 50 years before. It's up to the US to organize around a new agenda on the crisis of global economy, including a common approach to China's mercantilism and climate change, etc, nuclear proliferation, etc. Otherwise, petty trade wars will begin to dominate US-EU relations. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/7174195/Barack-Obama-stumbling-towards-isolationism.html Barack Obama: stumbling towards isolationism One of the ironies of Barack Obama's presidency is that he is increasingly distant from the world he promised to embrace, writes Toby Harnden in Washington UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767523 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767523 Date: 08/31/2015 Toby Hamden's American Way Published: 2:00PM GMT 06 Feb 2010 Europeans cheered Barack Obama every step of the way to the White House. They swooned when the candidate took his stump skills to Berlin, where he spoke of "the burdens of global citizenship" and promised to "remake the world". He had lived in Indonesia as a boy, travelled to Pakistan and Africa in his youth and came from a family that looked, as he liked to quip, "like the United Nations". Then, in his first year in office, he made 10 trips abroad to 21 countries, making him the most travelled of all United States presidents in their first 12 months. So it came as a rude shock to Europeans last week when Obama decided not to bother with the European Union knees up Madrid in May - particularly miffing Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero of Spain, who, like the American president, campaigned on his opposition to the Iraq war. American officials intimated that they were unimpressed by European bickering over who would sit next to the Obamas at the summit dinner and even over who would be the first leader to shake the hand of the person that Oprah Winfrey anointed as "the One" in Iowa back in 2008. Perhaps Obama himself was a touch irritated by Nicolas Sarkozy's new habit of mocking him. "Obama has been in power for a year, and he has already lost three special elections," the French president said last week. "Me, I have won two legislative elections and the EU election. What can one say I've lost?" The discomfort of Europe's elites indicates growing a realisation that perhaps he's just not that into them. The fact that Hillary Clinton, Obama's Secretary of State, felt the need to point out that "European security remains an anchor of US foreign and security policy" spoke volumes. There is little sign that Obama feels the kind of instinctive belief in transatlantic alliances that, for instance, President George W Bush felt. In Washington, the much-ballyhooed "special relationship" - a phrase that Team Obama views as betraying a British inferiority complex and cloying neediness - has never felt less special. That's partly because Gordon Brown is viewed as so toxic by the Obama administration that dealings with Downing Street are in a state of virtual suspended animation. But there are no indications yet that a Prime Minister David Cameron will have the red carpet rolled out for him. One of Obama's conceits was that he would be the "Pacific president", looking west from his native Hawaii to China, India and Japan rather than east to America's traditional allies. It's as if Obama has embraced Donald Rumsfeld's much-maligned concept of "old Europe" - and broadened it. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767523 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767523 Date: 08/31/2015 The Czech Republic and Poland were told in late-night phone calls that planned missile defence sites on their territory were being abandoned. Mid-level American officials often produce plans and papers about Helmand that overlook the fact that British troops have been fighting and dying there since 2006. Obama's foreign policy sometimes seems like it does not go much further than the concept of "le monde, c'est moi". The limits of his transcendental personality in terms of results are becoming as apparent abroad as they are at home. Relations with China sunk to a new low last week after the Obama decided to sell $6.4 billion in arms to Taiwan and to meet the Dalai Lama. After kowtowing to China by avoiding discussion of human rights in a humiliatingly ineffectual trip last November and failing to see the Tibetan monk, Obama's decided to get tough - though to what end is unclear. Having offered an "unclenched fist" to Iran, Obama has been almost casually rebuffed. As Sarkozy put it: "What have these proposals for dialogue produced for the international community? Nothing but more enriched uranium and more centrifuges." In the Middle East, Obama's popularity is sliding among both Israelis and Arabs and the prospects of meaningful peace talks are dire. Requests to Nato for more troops to train Afghan security forces have fallen largely on deaf ears. Suddenly, the US no longer feels like the indispensable nation. For all his talk of reaching out to the world and his apologies on behalf of America, there is little that Obama has achieved. He is liked but not respected - and there are growing doubts about whether he has the backbone or the domestic political capital to deliver. Obama is finding that foreign policy is about more than just talk and turning up to take a bow. For its part, the world is realising that the man it championed as one of its own is stumbling towards isolationism.

BY U.S. SEN. RICHARD G. LUGAR I JANUARY 6, 2010 During the turmoil that followed Iran's disputed 2009 presidential election, thousands of opposition supporters and other protesters communicated and organized through Twitter. So important was this social networking site to supporting the pro-democracy "green movement" that the U.S. State Department contacted corporate representatives of Twitter to ask them to delay a routine maintenance shutdown of the microblogging site. In the strife-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.S. officials are working with radio and cell-phone operators to reach isolated militia fighters with messages from former combatants now urging them to put down their arms and return to civilian life. In Pakistan, the State Department paid for 24 million text messages as a way to help support a new mobile-phonebased social network, Humani Awaz, or "Our Voice." The gesture helps increase U.S. government engagement with the Pakistani people, strengthens communities, and can assist small businesses in gaining better market information. These are just some of the latest examples of what is being called "21st-century statecraft," using the capabilities of modern communications and social networking technologies to win hearts and minds and improve the American UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767562 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767562 Date: 08/31/2015 image abroad. It represents an important leap forward from traditional U.S. outreach efforts, such as Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. The adroit use of social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, and others, coupled with text messages and increasingly widespread mobile-phone technology, can help lend support to existing grassroots movements for freedom and civil rights, connect people to information, and help those in closed societies communicate with the outside world. It also promises to give a strong economic boost to small entrepreneurs and the rural poor. The World Bank estimates that for every 10 percent increase in the number of mobile-phone users in a developing country, there is nearly a 1 percent increase in its economic output. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has championed the use of communications technology in diplomacy and development. In November in Morocco, she announced the "Civil Society 2.0" initiative, which will offer training and advice to local nongovernmental organizations around the world on how to use the Internet and other digital media to organize, communicate, and be more effective. She has also appointed a special advisor for innovation, Alec Ross, to examine ways to employ communications technology to enhance traditional diplomatic and development activities. In a recent speech, he said that the State Department is using "these new connection technologies to engage and empower our interlocutors in new and different ways that are consistent with our foreign policy goals." The applications vary widely. In Mexico, for instance, where drug-related crime and violence is at crisis level, the United States is helping set up a mobile-phone-based system so citizens can report crimes and tips anonymously. In Afghanistan, the State Department and the Pentagon are working with the private sector to expand mobile-phone banking, an innovation that has been successful in Africa. The hope is to improve the finances of people in rural conflict areas. When violence displaced up to 2 million people from Pakistan's Swat Valley, the State Department quickly set up a mobile texting system so concerned Americans could make $5 donations for refugee relief with just a few keystrokes. Technology offers new ways to perform the traditional task of spreading the American message. During President Barack Obama's major Africa speech in Ghana last year, for instance, the government offered SMS texts of his remarks in English and French to cell-phone users across Africa and enabled them to post questions and comments. But social networking technologies are more often used to enable individuals across a country, or across the globe, to interact, engage, and become empowered. Although this means that our government will not be able to control the message as well as it might with conventional public diplomacy tools, I believe it is a risk worth taking. Terrorists and other anti-American propagandists have for some time been using the Internet and other techniques to UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767562 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767562 Date: 08/31/2015 communicate and recruit. America needs to beat them at their own game, especially since we invented most of the technology. I would encourage the administration and our diplomats to be nimble, flexible, and innovative as they pursue a wide range of foreign-policy initiatives that use these new communication and connection techniques. Diplomacy and development are our best means of winning the global war of ideas, and we must come to the battle armed with the most modern tools at our disposal.

Details to follow later. Sid January 9,2010 The First Lady, her young lover, and a scandal that could hand power to Sinn Fein David McKittrick reports on the far-reaching consequences of Iris Robinson's infidelity The mesmerising saga of the toyboy, the Northern Ireland First Minister and his straying wife threatened to engulf Belfast's frail political settlement last night. Following a day closeted with advisers Peter Robinson, head of the Northern Ireland government, broke his silence to insist defiantly that he would not step down after a day of turmoil. His move is unlikely to stem the clamour for an inquiry into an affair which has fused the political and the sexual. First indications are that members of his party, the Democratic Unionists (DUP), are reacting to the disclosures with strong disapproval. The party is highly religious and lays heavy emphasis on Christian family values. It is also currently highly nervous that the revelations could cost it seats in the coming Westminster election. If the DUP were to fracture as a result of the scandal it could lead the way to Sinn Fein becoming the largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly - allowing it to nominate its own first minister and putting the peace process in jeopardy. Disclosures in a BBC television programme on the activities of his wife, Iris, who has exited from public life, led to a daylong flurry of political calls for inquiries into the Robinson family. Mr Robinson stands accused of failing to notify the authorities that his wife had been involved in financial transactions without declaring an interest. She helped a 19-year-old "toyboy" lover to set up a business. Mr Robinson said he had asked for the appointment of a senior counsel "to ask me any questions he or she wishes to ask, and to give an opinion as to what I should have disclosed or whether I have breached an obligation". Insisting he had done nothing wrong, Mr Robinson accused the BBC of broadcasting "smears and innuendo". Saying that he did not rule out a defamation action, he declared: "I am being tried in the court of public opinion." Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, who is Deputy First Minister, said he was shocked at the BBC revelations and is seeking talks with both Mr Robinson and Gordon Brown. Mr McGuinness was publicly sympathetic when news of the scandal broke, but his veering towards a tougher line is taken as indicating a calculation that Mr Robinson may not survive the storm. Mr Robinson, who has been First Minister for 18 months, is regarded as a pivotal figure in the peace process since he was prepared to follow the Rev Ian Paisley into government with Sinn Fein. But the state of the political settlement has appeared increasingly rocky as Mr Robinson has resisted pressure from almost all points of the political compass to complete devolution by accepting a transfer of responsibility for policing from London to Belfast. His reluctance to move on the policing issue was attributed to nervousness about challenges from hardline opponents in the Westminster general election. Now opponents are speculating that it might instead have at least partly been due to the family scandal which has just become public but which he knew of for months. In recent days Mrs Robinson dramatically announced that she was leaving politics. She is currently Westminster MP for east Belfast, a councillor and a member of the Belfast Assembly. Yesterday there were calls for her to depart immediately and stop drawing her salaries. These reflected the fact that, while her husband might have a faint chance of political survival, her behaviour is regarded as inexcusable.

Before he died, he asked Mrs Robinson to look after his son. The BBC programme, Spotlight, revealed that her relationship with Kirk had developed into a sexual one. It said she suggested to him that he go into a business venture which was partly organised by Castlereagh council, where she is an alderman. She is said to have obtained £50,000 from two property developers, to be used to set up the business. She is also said to have helped approve the McCambley proposal without declaring a financial interest. The council said yesterday it was investigating. The young man was interviewed for the programme. So too was Mrs Robinson's one-time political adviser Selwyn Black, a former Methodist minister, who gave the BBC access to 150 text messages allegedly sent to him by Mrs Robinson. Among those calling for a public inquiry yesterday were Jim Allister of Traditional Unionist Voice, a hardline critic of Mr Robinson. He said the issues in the programme must be addressed "with utter transparency and candour". Ulster Unionist leader Sir Reg Empey called for Mrs Robinson's immediate resignation, saying: "It is clear that Iris Robinson's continuing position as an MP, Assembly member and councillor is utterly untenable. She should resign all her positions with immediate effect." He added: "It is also unfortunately the case that the office of the First Minister is embroiled in these matters. My party will study the events outlined by the BBC and the very serious allegations that have been made with regards to the conduct of the First Minister. Inevitably the appropriate authorities will be required to investigate the allegations made against the First Minister." * Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward refused to speculate about Mr Robinson's future. But he said: "It is a responsibility on everyone in the Assembly to understand that the consequences of allowing the political process to slide would undoubtedly have an impact on the broader canvas. "And that if anybody were to be selfish enough to think this is a moment when that can be allowed to be put in the deep freeze, even some may wish to unpick, they would be extremely irresponsible, foolish and would be playing very, very dangerous games." Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Woodward said that the First Minister had to be allowed the opportunity to clear his name. But he went on: "I'm very conscious of the fact that while all that is happening, he is First Minister and the business of devolution, the business of the Executive must go on. "I hope he will be able to resume the responsibilities as First Minister to ensure that the work of the Executive continues and that includes the talks on policing and justice devolution."

The massive magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit the island of Hispaniola has left thousands of children without parents. Before the quake even hit UNICEF statistics from 2007 show there were 380,000 orphans already in Haiti. "There are so many children that are in desperate need of help that's what we are here to do to keep them alive and get them the nutrients they need and clean water. It becomes the one place of stability for the kids where they have people UNICEF workers they can relate to they have educational material so they can start back with school," said Alissa Silverman, deputy director for UNICEF in the southeast region. "UNICEF is tracing family members and caring for children orphaned by the disaster to protect them from harm or exploitation." The number of children on the island is staggering. Forty-six percent of Haiti's population (nearly 10 million) is under the age of 18, more than half of the population is under 21. Prior to the earthquake, four of every 10 children lived in homes with mud floors or severely overcrowded conditions. "My first concern is who is with the kids how many of our nannies our ok and who is watching the kids and then all the kids on the streets," said Chareyl Moyes, the program manager for Wasatch International Adoption. Moyes works with a number of different agencies and orphanages in Haiti. She said early reports about how much damage they suffered are good. "But, there is going to be a concern about child trafficking so both Haitian and the United States governments are going to be careful about forging ahead with new adoptions. The need is going to be great," Moyes said. A lot of families in the U.S. according to a number of international adoption agencies across the country said some people were at the very end of the process to adopt a child from Haiti. "Now, it will set everyone back," Moyes said. Even though child trafficking is a major concern for Moyes she worries about the immediate help children need trapped in the rubble from a country in ruins. "How long will that child survive without somebody rescuing them," Moyes said. http://www.westportnow.com/index.php?/v2/26294/ Save the Children Emergency Team Reaches Haiti An emergency response team from Westport's Save the Children successfully reached Haiti today and worked quickly with staff already on the ground to organize the distribution of tents, medicine, and toiletries to children and families in desperate need, the charity said. "Save the Children is extremely concerned about the well-being of children in Haiti at this critical moment and we are doing everything we can to quickly get relief supplies to those who need it most," said Charles MacCormack, president and CEO of Save the Children, in a news release.

"This is just the beginning of what will be a comprehensive five-year effort to build back better in Haiti. We are dedicated to not only addressing the immediate needs of children and families, but to making sure they have a brighter future ahead." http://children.foreignpolicyblogs.com/2010/01/13/haitis-disastrous-earthquake-hits-children-hardest/ As someone in the anti-trafficking news of the disaster in Haiti has my mind rushing to worrying thoughts on how the disaster will increase human trafficking in the country. Such a large scale disaster will undoubtedly leave thousands and thousands of children, and their families, at an increased to be victimized by modern slavery. Haiti's Restavek system still has a tight grip on the community, leaving some 300,000 children in the country enslaved as domestic workers according to the UN. It is these children who will continue to anguish and suffer the most in the shadows of the earthquake.

Sid http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article6991697.ece From The Times January 18, 2010 Fear of the poor is hampering Haiti rescue American views rule among the rubble of Port-au-Prince. That's one reason aid is taking so long to get to those in need Linda Polman Aid workers have already baptised the earthquake in Haiti a "historical disaster". It will rate high in the annals of the humanitarian aid world because of the number of victims and scale of the destruction. But the rescue operation is also becoming notorious for the slowness with which aid is reaching the victims. Five days after the quake hit, many places are still largely bereft of international aid. Not through lack of funds, supplies or emergency experts. Those are all pouring in from dozens of countries. But most of the aid — and aid workers — seems stuck at the airport. Rescue teams have pulled survivors from five-star hotels, university buildings, a supermarket and the UN headquarters, all in Port-au-Prince's better neighbourhoods. In poor areas, where the damage appears much greater, apparently forgotten victims report on Twitter that they have yet to encounter the first foreign rescuer. Many aid workers are reported to have orders not to venture out without armed guards — which are not there at all, or only after long debates with the UN military command. The UN has lost a number of staff in the quake, and is not keen to risk more lives. But the Haitian people seem to scare aid workers more than Somali warlords, Darfuri Janjawid or Afghan Taleban. Frightened Dutch aid workers abandoned a mission without•reaching the collapsed building where people were trapped, and frightened doctors have left their patients unattended. The experience of CNN's medical reporter, Dr Sanjay Gupta, is telling. In a makeshift clinic he encountered a Belgian medical team being evacuated in a UN bus. UN "rules of engagement" apparently stopped them providing security for the doctors. The Belgians took most of their medical supplies with them, to keep them out of the claws of robbers. Dr Gupta and his camera team stayed the night, monitored the abandoned patients' vital signs and continued intravenous drips — and they were not robbed. Some rescuers are leaning so much toward security that they will allow people to die. The media are not helping. CNN rules in the rubble. "Outside of a military conflict, this is our biggest international deployment since the tsunami in 2004," according to Tony Maddox, the managing director of CNN International. So the image of the aid operation being beamed back is primarily Ameridan — and one of the big problems is the American view of Haiti. CNN won't stop telling aid workers and the outside world about pillaging (the incidence of which — for the first four frustrating days at least — did not compare with what happened after Hurricane Katrina) and about how dangerous it is to distribute food, because of the likelihood of "stampedes". Nor is the US Government, the biggest player in the aid operation, doing anything to help to relax the atmosphere. On the contrary. When President Obama said that the US aid effort would be "aggressive" he meant it. The humanitarian operation is not led by civilian agencies, but by the Pentagon. Mr Obama ordered 9,000 troops and a fleet of nuclear-powered ships to move in. Victims of the war in Congo (which has cost five million lives in the past years) and of the genocide in Darfur would love so much American attention — but it is Haiti's fate to lay in America's backyard and to have been a sore to American eyes for decades already. One, perhaps even two million Haitians already live in the United States, but more try to come. Every day dead Haitian refugees wash up on Miami's sunny beaches. Haiti is a constant pain for US taxpayers who feel that the billions of dollars UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767623 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767623 Date: 08/31/2015 that have been poured in should have at least lifted the country out of its position as one of the poorest places on Earth. Even when the earthquake struck, investigations were taking place into the fate of several million dollars of aid funds, sent to victims of a hurricane that hit Haiti in 2008, that have disappeared. Furthermore, to the horror of many godfearing Americans, voodoo is an officially recognised religion in Haiti. And, perhaps above all, Haitians are poor and black. In the view of some Americans those two add up to ... murderous gangs. The invasion of soldiers and humanitarian workers at the airport of Port-au-Prince reminds me of the American military invasion of Haiti authorised by President Clinton in 1994. I'd lived and worked there for almost two years as a correspondent for Dutch radio. There were 20,000 soldiers but they were surprisingly nervous about what reception the unarmed Haitians might have in store for them. It turned out to be a wave of slum dwellers streaming to the air and sea port to greet the American guests. In abundant conga lines they snaked through the city, tea cosies on their heads to express just how happy they were. "Liberte! Merci Beel Cling Dong!" they shouted. A terrified American GI, still a teenager, saw the mass of pitiful creatures approaching him, and asked me if the tea cosies were "some kinda voodoo?". He calmed down only when a line of BMWs and Mitsubishis appeared and filed past to watch the invasion. Where the soldier came from, the owners of vehicles like these are respectable citizens. In Haiti, they are likely to be the ones smuggling drugs and making US aid dollars disappear. The good guys in Haiti are the defenceless people in the slums. For Western city dwellers, this is the world turned upside down. "Back! Back!" the soldier shouted, aiming his weapons at the good guys. The rescue teams that stay put at the airport are one reason why we still don't really know what is going on. Seventy survivors had been pulled from the rubble so far, the International Red Cross said on Sunday. That's 14 rescues per day as a joint result of the 1,739 international specialised rescue workers that are there. That number would surely jump if some of the professional equipment that they brought was made available to the countless groups of local people desperately digging for victims with their bare hands, day and night. Let's hope that the food distributors worrying about their safety know that yesterday hundreds of people in Port-au-Prince dropped to their knees praying outside a warehouse where workers for the agency Food for the Poor had announced that they would be distributing rice and beans. The crowd allowed children and the elderly to go first in line without having guns aimed at them first.

McGovern (MA-03) One Minute Special Order February 24, 2010 SORROW AND OUTRAGE AT DEATH OF CUBAN DISSIDENT ORLANDO ZAPATA TAMAYO Mr. Speaker, I want to express my deepest sorrow and outrage at the death of Cuban dissident Orlando Zapata Tamayo. Imprisoned since 2003, he had been on a hunger strike for several weeks. We first heard he was seriously ill last week. Yesterday, he died at the prison clinic. Zapata Tamayo paid the ultimate sacrifice for his commitment to changing Cuba's system. He commands our respect. No one has starved himself to death in a Cuban prison in over forty years. Surely the Cuban government could have and should have intervened earlier to prevent this tragedy. His death is on their conscience. I have always felt — and continue to believe — that if we are truly going to do a better job of standing with the Cuban people, then we need to be closer to them and in greater numbers. We need to travel freely to the island to meet and learn from them, and they from us. I hope that day comes soon so we can tell all the Cuban people that we remember the sacrifice of Orlando Zapata Tamayo.

He was going to reach out to advance team. Marriott Hotel fine. Event frightening because of intensity of tremor. Epicenter near Concepcion-- third largest city in Chile about 400 miles south of Santiago (city of Cauquenes--- hardest hit). Just heard Bachelet on TV-- casualties so far 16-- though because communications down and it is still dark information is preliminary. Some concern over risk of Tsunami though Navy deems unlikely. Fortunately, there is no collapse of dams. Considerable damage to highway bridges and infrastructure--that will affect traffic-- in Talca hospital evacuated for precautionary reasons. President declared zones of Maule and Bio Bio disaster areas. Significant loss of life and damage unlikely because Chile suffered devastating earthquakes in 1939 and 1960 (the strongest in recorded history) in same area so most old construction is gone. Chile has strong construction codes and state of the art anti-earthquake standards. Also Chile has excellent first responder capacity. One concern of course are aftershocks. In 1960 (May 21) a second earthquake occurred day after that caused a Tsunami in Japan. Will have to evaluate whether trip to Chile should proceed. Precisely because of tragedy this may not be time to cancel - provided Chilean side can handle and are anxious for trip to proceed. Suspect that that will be the case. Should evaluate in morning after dust settles.

From: Daniel Meron To: Adams, David S Cc: Ohad Cohen Sent: Fri Feb 26 23:10:05 2010 Subject: Gifilte Fish B6 Dave, According to the Agricultural Agreement between Israel and the US from 2004 (ATAP), carp is not exempted from custom duties. Last December the Israeli customs realized that according to the tariff list their is no customs on the importation of carp to Israel. That was amended. A few weeks ago a representative of the relevant company in Illinois contacted our trade mission to inquire about the new customs tariff and was told that it would apply to all the carp his company will send to Israel. Therefore it should not have been a surprise to the company this new customs tariff. Their are now 2 containers of the fish that are sitting in the port in Israel waiting to be cleared and their are another 7 containers waiting in Illinois to get the green light to leave for Israel. Our trade representative here thinks he could get an exemption for the two containers already in Israel from the new customs tariff but probably not for the other 7. We at the embassy have asked he highest political level in Israel to see if we could get an exemption from customs for all the 9 containers.

Sid From The Sunday Times February 28, 2010 Gordon Brown on course to win election David Smith and Jonathan Oliver GORDON BROWN is on course to remain prime minister after the general election as a new Sunday Times poll reveals that Labour is now just two points behind the Tories. The YouGov survey places David Cameron's Conservatives on 37%, as against 35% for Labour — the closest gap between the parties in more than two years. It means Labour is heading for a total of 317 seats, nine short of an overall majority, with the Tories languishing on a total of just 263 MPs. Such an outcome would mean Brown could stay in office and deny Cameron the keys to No 10. The poll result presents the Conservative leader with one of the greatest challenges of his leadership today as he makes the keynote speech to his party's spring forum. In an interview with The Sunday Times, Cameron defied his right-wing critics who believe the party's modernisation has gone too far. He said: "Some people say to me, 'Play things safe; try to win by default — the government is in a mess.' I say, 'No. This is the Conservative party that is offering radical change. I'm doubling up on change'." With the expected May 6 election now just over two months away, Cameron will seek to reconnect with voters through a series of pledges, including a plan to restore discipline in schools. In an echo of the speech that won him the Tory leadership in 2005, he will address the Brighton conference without notes. "This is very, very clear," he said. "I've made my choice. There is no going back. This election is about change and we will be offering change." Cameron insisted he was unconcerned about the collapse in Tory support. "The polls move around a lot," he said. "The voters tell us that they want change. They want to know the Conservative party itself has changed." The narrowing of the Conservative lead has been dramatic and rapid. Until January the Tories held close to a 10-point lead. But a week ago a Sunday Times YouGov poll put the gap at six points, suggesting a hung parliament, with the Tories still on course to become the largest party. In the last election, in 2005, support for the parties generally held steady in the run-up to polling day. YouGov polling for The Sunday Times showed Labour leads of between two and five points from January through to the June election. Labour's margin of victory was three points. In today's poll, Labour has risen two points on the previous week, from 33%, while the Conservatives have dropped two from 39%. The Liberal Democrats are unchanged on 17%. The collapse in the Tory poll lead will put pressure on the pound in financial markets tomorrow by adding to fears that a hung parliament will mean insufficient action is taken to cut Britain's budget deficit. The last time the gap between the two main parties came this close and the Tory support was so low was in autumn 2007. That was before Brown's honeymoon ended with his failure to call a snap general election. The Conservatives went on to peak in May 2008 with a 26-point lead. Today's poll suggests recent claims about Brown's tantrums and his intimidation of staff may have actually helped him. Just 28% of people believe the prime minister is a bully and 50% agree he has a "strong sense of right and wrong". The survey disclosed growing concerns about Cameron's elite background and lack of empathy with ordinary families. Just 25% think that Cameron understands problems faced by "people like me", compared with 35% for Brown.

Peter Kellner, president of YouGov, the Sunday Times pollster, said that while individual polls could throw up unexpected shifts, the recent trend had been for a significant narrowing of the Tory lead. "Our daily polls should be regarded a bit like the FTSE index: a 100-point rise or fall in a day might be a blip or a trend — often we can't tell for a few days," he said. "I am confident the Tory lead is down this weekend but I can't promise whether the latest movement will be sustained, increased or reversed in the days ahead. One of the reasons for doing daily polls is to monitor these fluctuations." The Tory lead of 6%, which was first reported in The Sunday Times, was maintained in YouGov's polls in The Sun last week. The increase in support for Labour on Thursday and Friday, as the latest Sunday Times poll was being conducted, came as figures showed a strengthening economic recovery. Under the British parliamentary system, the prime minister remains in office after a general election until he either tenders his resignation or is defeated in a Commons no confidence vote. If the election result leaves Labour just short of an overall majority, Brown is likely to battle on, with Labour running the country as a minority government. The party would seek to do deals with minor parties such as Ulster's Democratic Unionist party or, if necessary, Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats, to get its legislation through parliament. If repeated in a general election on the basis of a uniform swing in all constituencies, today's poll would leave Labour just nine seats short of the 326 needed for an overall majority in the new 650-seat House of Commons. The Tories would be well behind on 263 seats, with the Liberal Democrats on 41. Kellner calculated that, even allowing for a larger swing to the Tories in marginal seats, where the party has spent millions of pounds on campaigning, the poll was consistent with Labour being by far the largest party. He suggested that in such a scenario Labour might win 300 seats, with the Tories on 270 and the Lib Dems on 50. Labour will believe it is benefiting from the upturn in the economy. For the first time in a YouGov poll since July 2007, before the financial crisis, people trust Labour more than the Tories to run the economy. YouGov, which began polling after the 2001 election, has developed a reputation for accuracy. Its final Sunday Times poll in 2005 was precisely right, and it accurately predicted Boris Johnson's victory in the 2008 London mayoral election and the results of last year's Euro elections.

The massive magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit the island of Hispaniola has left thousands of children without parents. Before the quake even hit UNICEF statistics from 2007 show there were 380,000 orphans already in Haiti. "There are so many children that are in desperate need of help that's what we are here to do to keep them alive and get them the nutrients they need and clean water. It becomes the one place of stability for the kids where they have people UNICEF workers they can relate to they have educational material so they can start back with school," said Alissa Silverman, deputy director for UNICEF in the southeast region. "UNICEF is tracing family members and caring for children orphaned by the disaster to protect them from harm or exploitation." The number of children on the island is staggering. Forty-six percent of Haiti's population (nearly 10 million) is under the age of 18, more than half of the population is under 21. Prior to the earthquake, four of every 10 children lived in homes with mud floors or severely overcrowded conditions. "My first concern is who is with the kids how many of our nannies our ok and who is watching the kids and then all the kids on the streets," said Chareyl Moyes, the program manager for Wasatch International Adoption. Moyes works with a number of different agencies and orphanages in Haiti. She said early reports about how much damage they suffered are good. "But, there is going to be a concern about child trafficking so both Haitian and the United States governments are going to be careful about forging ahead with new adoptions. The need is going to be great," Moyes said. A lot of families in the U.S. according to a number of international adoption agencies across the country said some people were at the very end of the process to adopt a child from Haiti. "Now, it will set everyone back," Moyes said. Even though child trafficking is a major concern for Moyes she worries about the immediate help children need trapped in the rubble from a country in ruins. "How long will that child survive without somebody rescuing them," Moyes said. http://www.westportnow.com/index.php?/v2/26294/ Save the Children Emergency Team Reaches Haiti An emergency response team from Westport's Save the Children successfully reached Haiti today and worked quickly with staff already on the ground to organize the distribution of tents, medicine, and toiletries to children and families in desperate need, the charity said. "Save the Children is extremely concerned about the well-being of children in Haiti at this critical moment and we are doing everything we can to quickly get relief supplies to those who need it most," said Charles MacCormack, president and CEO of Save the Children, in a news release.

Such a large scale disaster will undoubtedly leave thousands and thousands of children, and their families, at an increased to be victimized by modern slavery. Haiti's Restavek system still has a tight grip on the community, leaving some 300,000 children in the country enslaved as domestic workers according to the UN. It is these children who will continue to anguish and suffer the most in the shadows of the earthquake.

Brown is benefiting from depressed Democratic interest in the election and a huge lead among independents for his surprisingly strong standing. Those planning to vote in the special election only report having voted for Barack Obama in 2008 by a 16 point margin, in contrast to his actual 26 point victory in the state. That decline in turnout from Obama voters plagued Democratic candidates for Governor in Virginia and New Jersey last fall. Beyond that 66% of Republicans say they're 'very excited' about turning out while only 48% of Democrats express that sentiment. Brown leads 63-31 with independents and is winning 17% of the Democratic vote while Coakley receives only 6% support from GOP voters. Both candidates are relatively popular, with 57% viewing Brown favorably to only 25% unfavorable and 50% with a positive opinion of Coakley to 42% negative. Those folks planning to vote in the special election are actually opposed to Obama's health care plan by a 47/41 margin and only narrowly express approval of the President's overall job performance 44/43. "The Massachusetts Senate race is shaping up as a potential disaster for Democrats," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "Martha Coakley's complacent campaign has put Scott Brown in a surprisingly strong position and she will need to step it up in the final week to win a victory once thought inevitable." PPP surveyed 744 likely Massachusetts voters from January 7th to 9th. The margin of error is +/-3.6%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

I hope you got some time to enjoy the holiday season and could relax before getting back at it this year. Andy Young is a very good friend of mine, and has been a stalwart for the Clintons over the years. He is also one of the most recognized and respected experts on Africa in America. He asked me today if I thought it would be appropriate for him to seek to see the Secretary to share some of his thoughts on Africa and current issues being confronted there. I told him of course and suggested that he reach out to you to try to arrange that dialogue. Hopefully that is ok from your perspective. Andy is a thoughtful, remarkable and decent man.

Ideally we would like to raise $10 to 11M to cover any overruns (it's getting more expensive because the US was so late we are paying more now to build it quicker). Where it will come from? A- Right now we have three big companies talking to us in the range of If two or three come thru big we are done. Haier may go from each - Monsanto, Disney, and Oracle. B- We also have a number of other companies like Invitrogen, Hormel, Mattel and Major League Baseball in the range. C- Interestingly the cities and states are going to their private funders and trying to raise money on their own to promote their jurisdictions - Chicago, Houston, Georgia, Montana, TN. (In the past, over 20 states participated with public funds but current budgets are tough). Maybe a chat w Mayor Bloomberg would be worthwhile. For example, I spoke to the University of WA and they will probably get benefactors to cosponsor at $250k making them the only university represented. D- We have approached groups like Pharma and the fashion industry thru Diane von Furstenburg to get them to bundle smaller companies and both have agreed to do it. I met w DVL and she wants you to know that she is very excited about helping (they are in therM range). E- We have talked to the elusive Chamber of Commerce again about getting SME's to raise $2-3M in smaller increments. They are contemplating it.

If the idea of building network of small new schools is just nuts given the infrastructure challenges, an alternative is more of the 'street school' approach. We take storefronts, little mom and pop storefronts, etc... and do minor reconfiguration and you have a whole set of little street schools clustered around central location.

Feel free to share with whomever you'd like. I have little idea of the larger context here — how many schools/kids are we looking at, but one thing we've learned in the US in the last 5 years is that good teachers are the #1 lever of change in education. If we got 1,000 really great teachers into Port-au-Prince (w/ even a modicum of support and materials), they'd make a big difference and touch the lives of 30,000-60,000 kids. I think this is totally doable, in short-order, in a magnificent way that could set the foundation for a well-educated generation of Haitians who could lead the country out of poverty, to self-sustainability, self-governance and openness. To do-Goal 1: Bring immediate influx of human capital into education sector in concentrated areas, and map out plan for longterm development of teachers/human capital. Goal 2: Build curriculum, instructional materials that will support current Haitian elementary age students learning the academic and related skills they need to lead country to long-term sustainability. Goal 3: Build/reconstruct schools and training centers that will support high quality education, and on their own, motivate and inspire children, families, and communities to send children to school. Goal 4: Create (develop) family, community, economic, cultural, socio-political infrastructure that encourages and support all children going to school through elementary school, with goal of eradicating illiteracy and expanding the average level of education for Port-a-Prince residents to the [6thi8to grade. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767787 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767787 Date: 08/31/2015 Goal 1: Human Capital: Create Haiti Teacher Corps. Model loosely off of Peace Corps/Teach for America, CityYear Teacher corps (US): Recruit, train, and place 500-1000 teachers from US this spring and summer. We can do this. o Recruiting: Limit variable this year, and build up and out as we go. This spring we go to Georgetown, Univ of Maryland and Univ of Miami and University of Florida/S. Florida. Given crisis, current opportunities in the US, we could easily hire 500 college graduates of very high quality from 4 major universities under 2 year contracts. o Summer institute is 8 weeks in US; language training, intensive teacher training; onsite at two major universities (College Park, Univ. of Miami). o Language/culture training: TDB – find the best folks out there to train in French/Creole, and Haitian culture, current socio-political situation – 50% of the training program. o Academic training: We'll work w/ TFA and others and develop 8 week intensive teacher training program for other 50% of program. Teacher Corps (Haitian): o I need to learn more on this... but this would likely be critical both short-and long-term. o Need to know who/how to recruit. Avoid political pitfalls; focus on what we've learned about good teachers—you want people who have excelled in something—almost anything; so, we set up recruiting team on the ground in Haiti to find cohort of 500 new teachers; training is nearly identical to US teaching corp (i.e., modeled off of TFA summer institute). o Training: either bring them over to US to live and learn w/ US counterparts, or if that's too precarious, look to move them out of the city for 6-8 weeks over the summer. Find space 100 miles out and build summer camp/institute for them. Teacher leaders/principals/trainers: o Much easier than you'd think. Huge network now in the charter and ed reform community of hardworking, mission-driven teacher-leaders who would take this on. o (US Based) TFA/New Teacher Project alumni are in schools all over the US. They have taught for 2-6 years, want a chance to do something totally meaningful. This is is. We'll recruit 100-200 of them, and they will lead cohorts of 20 teachers... o Haiti-based: Less clear what the teacher-leader pipeline is like...but we can figure out and get whoever we can. Compensation, related. o We should build dorms/apts for people. Serve food in cafeteria's on-site at the schools; have community kitchens available, etc. o All US staff gets paid minimally during their tour/commitment, but earns stipends/completion bonuses. If folks convinced their expenses will be covered, they will have money to spend, we then backload this. So, might be a $10,000 salary and a $10,000 bonus upon completion. You live cheap; two years later, you get check that amounts to what you would have saved if you had been living, working, paying bills, etc. in the US. o Not sure about how to do Haitian pay. But structure similarly. What do we need to accomplish the Human Capital Goal? o In the US, not much. • A small staff of the right people could recruit, interview, assess and hire 500 corp members and we could get that done between Feb 1 and June 1, 2010—easily. • Cost: • 2-4 staff on board by 2.1; 10-15 staff on board by 3.1.10; that team will get everyone hired by 6.1.10 • Summer training institutes: 500-100 teachers, housing at universities; training/supervision staff at 1:20 ratio to recruits • 8.1.10—Teaching Corp heads to Haiti, ongoing cost of housing, stipends/salary, health care, training/supervision, etc (we could build out draft operating budget quickly, but not doing that now). o In Haiti, less clear, but I think if we identify the right people, we'd concurrently recruit, interview, assess, hire 500 people. • Staffing and Cost: See notes above re: US recruitment and training. Assess current status in Haiti, and set up staffing, recruiting, hr function. Concurrently, we have team that is developing summer training materials, and working on curriculum/content (see below). Concurrently, we have team that is working on facilities (see below) Concurrently, we have team working on community outreach (see below).

I am not a curriculum expert, but I think this is really doable, as well, so long as we get the right team—which in this case is likely a team of leading experts from Haiti, possibly other countries that have intentionally undergone an intensive rampup in the education sector, and US curriculum writers. US-Team: o Similar to above, there is incredible talent in the charters, and in a few major cities where structural education reform has taken hold. o We just need a small team to join us for 1 year to help us jump start the project. Haiti/Other countries: o We need to talk w/ folks in Haiti and find current state of curriculum, standards, instructional guides, books, materials, etc. Backwards Mapping: This is not as hard as it seems. o We get the right people to help us figure out what a 10-12 year old Haitian should know and we map backwards, all the way to preschool. o Once we get an end goal in key areas – math, reading, writing, history/social studies, science:. .we map backwards and start to define what we will teach. o And once we decide this, we use some of the tools we've developed in the US in the last 5-10 years to help us write curriculum, produce instructional materials. o This will be a jumbled mess to start... but will work and sort itself out. o We build it in clusters and in modules that can be swapped in and out, and mixed and matched. You want to give teachers tools so they can be successful with kids of different ages and abilities, particularly early on when we're likely to be operating more like one-room school houses than grade level schools we're used to here. o We build in assessments, standards, and teach teachers how to recognize when kids are falling behind, how to build in supports and tutorials. o The goal is to get large cohort of younger kids, I think, who start to learn and be taught to standards... all the while, we push hard in the upper grades, knowing it will be a lot less clear (and possibly much more directed towards helping current teens develop basic skills they need to be employable and contributing members of the rebuilding efforts –so this may be basic literacy, key vocational skills, etc.). Cost/staffing: Small US team that works with Haitian/other country team. Within a year or so, this team should be Haiti-based, w/ possible long-term support/membership from the US team. The start-up team sets up framework, establishing learning standards, builds tools and cranks out curricular materials—some of which are developed specifically for Haiti, but many of which may be translations from high quality materials from US and elsewhere. Goal 3: Build high quality, durable schools that entice families, children into education. In spite of current situation, this seems like another very doable goal. Get some schools built quickly to entice attendance. o Once rebuilding starts up, we can build schools quickly, affordably. And once they are up, if done correctly, they will immediately be attractive to families and communities. This, ironically, will be the case if we can get schools up quickly—while much of the other infrastructure is still in poor shape. Families will want kids in schools if the schools are safe, offer food, health care and structure—much of which will be wanting in devastated, poor neighborhoods. I'm not facilities expert, either; this is an area where we can look to other examples in the developing world for best practices. Nonprofits and governments have worked together to build great schools in many places in Africa, South America, and even recently in the Middle East. To think about: Consider technology and technology infrastructure as a part of the initial construction plan so it's not add-on later. To think about: Keeping the schools small, functional, really basic will help us get them up; including significant health care and related services complicates planning, build-out, but increases functionality. Cost/staffing: I don't have enough knowledge about this, particularly in Haiti. I think it would be quite easy to find the best models and quickly develop turnkey model for design/build that would ensure functionality, safety, and cost compliance. Once we have this, we either develop this capacity internally, or contract out and get these built, quickly. Goal 4: Create family, community impetus for all school age children to be in school UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767787 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767787 Date: 08/31/2015 This is both the end-game and a necessary condition along the way. The simpleton in me thinks that highly engaged, spirited teachers, inside safe, modern school buildings that serve healthy meals at no charge will, for some period of time (years) be a catalyst for socio-political change. And if we can get traction for a few years, and get large cohorts of young children actively engaged in school, then it will be hard to unwind the long-term, salutary benefits. Clearly, if families remain in poverty, and adults have no means to earn enough money to support families, then children of all ages, but particularly as they move toward teen years, will be attracted to alternatives other than school—some legitimate, but low-wage, and others illegal and destructive. In short-term, while we are developing program, we should be doing extensive community outreach and in all cases, getting neighborhoods and communities engaged in the pre-planning process. Families everywhere get excited about a new school, new teachers, and a new chance. And w should play on this—this will enable us to do necessary planning around enrollment, student/family needs, etc. We shouldn't sort of move slowly from no school to some school, we should go from no school to a new school and fresh start—even if that delays opening a bit. The first day should be major community event, that everyone can reflect upon and hold to in difficult times. Gotta run. See you shortly. xo, dd UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767787 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767794 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: sbwhoeop Monday, January 11, 2010 4:19 PM Memo: Latest NI crisis/UK coup. Sid hrc memo ni crisis 011110.docx CONFIDENTIAL January 11,2010 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Northern Ireland crisis and latest UK coup The political crisis in Northern Ireland is fast moving and fluid. On Friday, January 7, after reading a lengthy statement on TV denouncing his wife repeatedly for her affair (with a teenager), Peter Robinson assured Shaun Woodward privately that no financial irregularity was involved. Then, within hours, it was reported that Iris Robinson secured 50,000 pounds from government contractors to give to her lover to set up a restaurant. Peter Robinson in fact knew of the money all along. Robinson had an opportunity to save himself, perhaps, by declaring himself for engagement on devolution, freeing himself of the DUP hardliners and throwing himself on public opinion, but was incapable of acting. By accepting his withdrawal as First Minister for six weeks today, the DUP has maintained a modicum of Robinson's authority, though it is in suspended animation. His temporary replacement, Arlene Foster, according to Shaun, comes from the modernizing wing of the party. Shaun does not know if her naming indicates a potetinally positive direction or makes her a prisoner of those who put her in place. The silence of Sinn Fein is telling. Not reacting in horror, Sinn Fein is unsure whether this is good or bad news, and it's willing to wait. But the waiting game is untenable without forward movement on devolution. Here's why: Without positive steps from Foster and the DUP, the situation will become swiftly unacceptable to Sinn Fein. It will speak out. Martin McGuinness will have to express his opposition to DUP recalcitrance and paralysis. Earlier, Shaun sent signals to leaders of the DUP that Robinson's resignation would provoke a series of events leading rapidly to Shaun calling an election in which they would be tainted by him and suffer a catastrophic defeat, followed by the general UK election (almost certainly May 6) that would compound their misery. Shaun was trying to push them not to scuttle the peace process but to embrace it and move forward. Robinson's six weeks hiatus puts the DUP in a fugue state, a twilight zone of disorientation, that cannot be sustained even this week. Shaun is also working through the Irish government to communicate to Adams not to provoke a full-blown crisis, ruining peace prospects in order to advance the dream of a united Ireland.

It should clairfy within days. On the latest coup attempt against Gordon: The plotters, Patricia Hewitt and Geoffrey Hoon, had no one behind them. It was a fizzle. This is the third and likely the last attempt. It's the end of the coup season. Ironically, the coup was announced just as Gordon had had his best week, last week, after David Cameron flip-flopped on a marriage tax and Gordon walloped him in Question Time. The coup obviously halted that momentum and shifted the subject to disunity within the Labour Party. Gordon and Labour lost a bit of time and ground it will have to make up. But various polls show almost no negative movement of Gordon in a matchup with Cameron. He has pulled to within ten points and remains steady. However, a poll in the Guardian today shows that while Gordon has actually improved his standing within the party the party itslef has taken a hit. David Miliband was the loser in this coup attempt. He took seven hours before responding, issuing a tepid statement saying he expected that labour would win under Gordon's leadership. His vacillation marked him. Niether willing to strike nor support, he seems unsure, wobbly. His performance has made people wonder if he's the man to be leader after Gordon. David's brother, Ed, the environment minister, meanwhile, reacting swiftly in his backing of Gordon, and has emerged as a sterling fellow.

The award is presented at a ceremony on Capitol Hill (within one of the House/Senate caucus rooms). Approximately 200 people attend the event including Members of Congress, NGO representatives, business leaders, administration officials and other leaders in the fight against hunger. As you know, Friends of WFP is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing global hunger. Its board members include former agriculture secretary Dan Glickman, former Senators George McGovern and Bob Dole, YUM Brands CEO David Novak, former NSC Advisor Sandy Berger and others. I established the organization in 1997. Before officially announcing Secretary Clinton as this year's award recipient, we hoped to confirm that Secretary Clinton will be available to personally accept the award. We plan to schedule the award ceremony in September on either a Tuesday or Wednesday evening (at approximately 6:30/7pm). We would select the specific date based on Secretary Clinton's schedule. I think the ceremony would provide another good opportunity to shine a spotlight on the unprecedented commitment of Secretary Clinton and President Obama to addressing global hunger.

We received a large amount of interest and excellent suggestions on the document, and we will soon release a new version that reflects this input. We are also drafting an implementation plan that will describe in greater detail how we intend to implement the initiative. We look forward to sharing both documents with you. In recent months, we have continued to garner international support for the five core principles for global food security that form the basis of our strategy. In November, all UN member states endorsed these principles at the World Summit on Food Security in Rome. 1) Invest in country-owned plans 2) Foster strategic coordination 3) Strive for a comprehensive approach to food security 4) Ensure a strong role for the multilateral system 5) Ensure sustained and substantial commitment by all partners to investment in agriculture and food security and nutrition In establishing the Rome Principles, the international community declared a new business model for coordinated action to increase global food security. Translating these principles into action, on December 6-8, the Government of Rwanda, together with the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program, hosted a technical review of its Agriculture Sector Investment Plan and convened a high-level stakeholders meeting. At the meeting, development partners and the African Union/NEPAD endorsed Rwanda's plan and agreed to mobilize support for scaled-up financing. The African Union/NEPAD and representatives from the World Bank, UN, donor countries, the private sector, civil society organizations, and NGOs attended the meeting. The United States was represented by a whole-of-government team led by Special Assistant to the President Gayle Smith that included representatives from the Departments of State, Treasury, and Agriculture, USAID, and MCC. Our team committed to improve the quality of our aid; to provide robust financial commitments and technical support; and to work to mobilize additional financing of the Investment Plan. In the new year, we will continue to engage all 'stakeholders, work with the international community, and build on our experience in Rwanda as we move forward with plans to implement our initiative.

Sid http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2010/01/11/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry6084818.shtml?tag=stack January 11, 2010 6:30 PM Obama's Approval Rating Dips to New Low (CBS) President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 46 percent, according to a new CBS News poll. That rating is Mr. Obama's lowest yet in CBS News polling, and the poll marks the first time his approval rating has fallen below the 50 percent mark. Forty-one percent now say they disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance as president. In last month's CBS News poll, 50 percent of Americans approved of how the president was handling his job, while thirtynine percent disapproved. Analysis: The Irony Behind Obama's Poll Numbers Mr. Obama still receives strong support from Democrats (eight in ten approve of his performance), but his approval rating among Republicans is only 13 percent. More importantly, Mr. Obama's approval rating among independents has declined 10 points in recent months — and it now stands at just 42 percent. Domestic issues — and not his response to terrorist threats - appear to be driving the president's approval rating downward. Just 41 percent now approve of his handling of the economy, which Americans say is the nation's most pressing issue. Forty-seven percent disapprove. The president's marks on handling health care, with reforms still under debate in Congress, are even lower — just 36 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove. Both of these approval ratings are the lowest of Mr. Obama's presidency. Meanwhile, both parties in Congress receive even lower marks than the president on handling health care. Few Americans think the reforms in Congress hit the right note on expanding coverage, lowering costs and regulating the health insurance industry. (Read more on the health care poll results) (CBS) The president receives slightly higher ratings for his handling of the war in Afghanistan and the threat of terrorism than on domestic issues. Forty-six percent approve of Mr. Obama's handling of Afghanistan, and 52 percent approve of how he is handling the threat of terrorism. While some Republicans have criticized the president and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano's responses to the attempted Christmas Day terror attack, most Americans don't share their opinion. In the poll, 57 percent of Americans approve of the way the Obama administration has responded to the attempted attack, and 29 percent disapprove. Views are highly partisan — 75 percent of Democrats approve, while just 41 percent of Republicans and 55 percent of independents do. More Findings from the Poll: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767801 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767801 Date: 08/31/2015 • Fear of another terrorist attack has increased since the attempted attack on a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam on Christmas Day. Now, 26 percent think another attack on the United States within the next few months is very likely, up from 12 percent just before the latest incident. This is the highest percentage that has felt an attack was very likely since March 2003, just after the U.S. invasion of Iraq. • While most Americans (56 percent) have at least a fair amount of confidence that the government will protect its citizens from future attacks, just 15 percent are very confident. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, more expressed confidence. • Few Americans —just 19 percent - think U.S. intelligence agencies are doing all they could to monitor the actions of suspected terrorists. Seventy-six think they could be doing more. • Most Americans support conducting full body scans on travelers using a digital x-ray machine, a device some airports are now using. Seventy-four percent agree these machines should be used because they provide a detailed check for hidden weapons and explosives and reduce the need for physical searches. Just 20 percent think these machines should not be used because they would produce an image of a passenger's naked body and are an invasion of privacy. • Over half of Americans think the U.S. should continue to keep the Guantanamo Bay prison open. Thirty-two percent think it ought to be closed and the prisoners there transferred somewhere else. • The American public continues to volunteer the economy and jobs as the most important problem facing the country (44 percent), with health care a distant second (14 percent). In the wake of the attempted terror attack on Christmas Day, the percentage that cites terrorism as the most pressing issue has risen to seven percent from zero percent early last month. • The public's overall assessment of the condition of the national economy remains grim — 82 percent of Americans say the economy is in bad shape. Looking ahead, 31 percent of Americans think the economy is getting better, while 19 percent think it is getting worse. Forty-nine percent now say the economy is staying the same.

The piece is based on John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's 'Game Change', the latest in an ever-expanding series of 2008 campaign books -- none of which, in my view, capture the entire story of what happened in that historic Democratic primary. (I include in that assessment David Plouffe's The Audacity to Win, which is undeniably a definitive version of what transpired inside the Obama campaign from the perspective of an exceptional campaign manager, but overlooks key reasons for Hillary Clinton's defeat and doesn't articulate the full scope of the online commentariat's impact.) I am reading Game Change now and will update this entry once I've completed the portions about Hillary Clinton but I wanted to post something immediately in response to the Politico story. Ben Smith is a savvy, well-connected reporter and Heilemann/Halperin are about as plugged into Beltway culture and DC power centers as anyone can be -- whether that's good or bad I'll let others judge. I became acquainted with Halperin during the campaign -- and with Smith -- but never spoke to the former about the book, nor with the latter about his article, so I'm coming to this as an outside observer. I don't dispute that Heilemann/Halperin have high level sources. I just want to be sure their readers get an accurate picture of Hillary Clinton's conduct during the campaign. Smith's Politico article makes the case that the Clintons have few remaining defenders: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767805 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767805 Date: 08/31/2015 What's notable about the highly publicized release of "Game Change," however, is the virtual silence from the Clinton camp. The lack of public outrage seems to mark the sputtering end of what was once known as the Clinton political machine and underlines a fact that onetime Clinton loyalists acknowledge: The book's primary sources about the former candidate and current secretary of state are her own former staffers and intimates. As a result, there is no campaign of veteran Clintonites spinning the press corps and trying to pre-emptively discredit the book's scathing depiction of Hillary Clinton as a rudderless candidate and a cheerleader for vicious tactics against eventual winner Barack Obama.... "Game Change" peels back a decade of careful renovations off Hillary Clinton's carefully constructed public face, casting her in the terms that defined her at her lows in the mid-1990s: scheming, profane, sometimes paranoid, often tone-deaf. Here's my response: as a former adviser and a senior staffer/department head at her presidential campaign, I'll proudly defend Hillary Clinton and I'll do whatever I can to counter lies, smears and mischaracterizations. Let me start by recounting how I first got to know her. Nearly four years ago, I was asked by her long-time communications maven Howard Wolfson to join her senate campaign. I was very happy running my site, the Daou Report, and advising a number of organizations in the then-nascent field of digital media consulting. I considered it an honor to be asked, but I knew it was a life-changing decision. Heeding Howard's warning that once I became part of 'Hillaryland' anything I said or did could become a media story (examples here and here), I had a series of conversations with people I trusted and whose unique perspective could help me make an informed decision. I discussed it first with close friends and family. I then spoke to Joan Walsh at Salon, who hosted/supported my site and always gave great advice. I spoke to Arianna Huffington, who openly warned me against giving up the world of blogging to join the Clinton team. I spoke to David Brock at Media Matters, who had a long history with the Clintons and understood the media landscape in great depth. I spoke to John Kerry, who I respect deeply and for whom I worked in the bitterly contested 2004 election. I fought on his behalf when he was trailing badly going into the 2004 primaries, and after he won the nomination, I lived, worked, ate and slept in his war room for the epic battle against Bush/Cheney/Rove. He understood and taught me the rigors of a campaign better than anyone I knew. And because one of my overarching tasks for Clinton was to connect her to the netroots, I spoke to bloggers like Digby, Markos (Kos) and others to get a sense of the challenge ahead. In the end, I couldn't miss the once in a lifetime opportunity to work with one of the most dynamic, inspiring women in the world. And even though the entire focus when I joined her was on the senate campaign, I, like many others, was looking ahead to the 2008 race. I've blogged for years about the pervasive abuse of women and the rampant sexism that affects our world, and the idea of electing a woman president was beyond exciting. Our first meeting was set for 15-30 minutes but lasted over an hour. Contrary to the myth that she was clueless about the Internet, Hillary was well aware of the importance of technology, of the role of the online community, and most importantly to me, the value of a strong progressive infrastructure centered around blogs, CAP, Media Matters and the like. We discussed the Middle East and my childhood in Beirut during Lebanon's bloody civil war. Not unexpectedly, she knew virtually everything about every topic we discussed. And she was as down to earth and funny as anyone I'd ever met in politics -- or outside politics. A week later, fighting flared up in Lebanon. Very early on a Sunday morning, my home phone rang. I answered groggily. It was Hillary, calling to make sure my friends and family in Beirut were OK. That's the person she is, the person I encountered throughout the campaign, privately and publicly. But this is not about psychoanalyzing Hillary Clinton or probing her personal attributes -- others have made a living doing that. It's not about making her out to be a saint. Nobody is. This is about describing how she ran her campaign and how she treated her opponents when the cameras and microphones were off. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767805 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767805 Date: 08/31/2015 Was I on every call and at every strategy session? No. Can I vouch for every single thing said and done at the campaign. Of course not. But having participated in countless senior strategy meetings, crisis management and rapid response drills and emergencies, "war rooms within war rooms" (a term used by Heilemann/Halperin), debate prep, calls, emails and private conversations with the candidate, and having slept with my BlackBerry under my pillow and been stationed at the center of her communications operation for the duration of the campaign, I can confidently state that Hillary Clinton did not push for 'vicious' or dirty tactics against any of her opponents, nor did she encourage or 'cheer on' that behavior from her staff. The ethos of the campaign, which she conveyed in word and deed, was that she would win because she was best prepared, worked the hardest and had the most compelling ideas. She was centered, dignified and focused throughout, although her frustration and pain did show through at some moments. She knew the media environment was stacked against her, against any woman. She knew what she was up against and drove forward into the furious headwinds of sexism and rightwing-fueled Clinton-hatred. For Hillary Clinton, it wasn't about being a woman, it was about being the best. The unraveling of her huge lead in the polls in late 2007 is an incredibly convoluted and harrowing tale of words, actions, decisions, interpersonal dynamics, internal campaign struggles, dysfinictionality, careless mistakes, leaks, "surrogates gone wild," (my term for overzealous supporters), reactions, underreactions, overreactions, strategic/tactical brilliance and incompetence, emotional highs and lows on the part of all the candidates and campaigns. Anyone who tries to reduce it to a few pivotal moments or to a simple character narrative does history an injustice. It was literally a minute by minute unfolding, accelerated and complexified by millions of online activists and commentators, who could shape and reshape conventional wisdom in a matter of moments. Any single decision could have changed the course of events -- and of history. I have little tolerance for critics who simplify the whole election as some sort of reflection of the supposedly terrible character of Bill and Hillary Clinton, conveniently ignoring the Obama campaign's brutally effective hardball tactics and overlooking the infinite dimensions -- and messiness -- of a presidential image/message war. The fact is, both campaigns slogged it out, played rough, and one came out victorious. And it would be wrong to act like only Hillary faced historic obstacles. Barack Obama was a formidable candidate and opponent who faced almost insurmountable odds. He deserves all the credit for winning and even more credit for appreciating Hillary's value when the contest ended. Still, it's important to state for the record, contra Game Change (or at least Politico's interpretation of the book), that if anything, Hillary's campaign let her down, not the reverse. Nor was it just one person's fault. Her entire senior team bears responsibility. I take responsibility for the role I played. It's easy to demean her when you're an anonymous source for a book (and an easy way to absolve oneself of guilt), but let's get real: far too often, she carried the campaign through sheer force of will and through an endless wellspring of personal fortitude. Nobody wants to relive 2008, but history is being written now. Generations from today, students will read about a historic campaign where barriers were shattered, and I for one, don't want the wrong story to be told.

From: Park, Pamela P To: Sullivan, Jacob Cc: Tesone, Mark Sent: Tue Jan 12 18:11:54 2010 Subject: RE: Google to Pull Out of China Google's announcement on their blog: A new approach to China 1/12/2010 03:00:00 PM Like many other well-known organizations, we face cyber attacks of varying degrees on a regular basis. In mid-December, we detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google. However, it soon became clear that what at first appeared to be solely a security incident--albeit a significant one--was something quite different. First, this attack was not just on Google. As part of our investigation we have discovered that at least twenty other large companies from a wide range of businesses--including the Internet, finance, technology, media and chemical sectors--have been similarly targeted. We are currently in the process of notifying those companies, and we are also working with the relevant U.S. authorities. Second, we have evidence to suggest that a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. Based on our investigation to date we believe their attack did not achieve that objective. Only two Gmail accounts appear to have been accessed, and that activity was limited to account information (such as the date the account was created) and subject line, rather than the content of emails themselves. Third, as part of this investigation but independent of the attack on Google, we have discovered that the accounts of dozens of U.S.-, China- and Europe-based Gmail users who are advocates of human rights in China appear to have been routinely accessed by third parties. These accounts have not been accessed through any security breach at Google, but most likely via phishing scams or malware placed on the users' computers. We have already used information gained from this attack to make infrastructure and architectural improvements that enhance security for Google and for our users. In terms of individual users, we would advise people to deploy reputable anti-virus and anti-spyware programs on their computers, to install patches for their operating systems and to update their web browsers. Always be cautious when clicking on links appearing in instant messages and emails, or when asked to share personal information like passwords online.

People wanting to learn more about these kinds of attacks can read this U.S. government report (PDF), Nart Villeneuve's bloq and this presentation on the GhostNet spying incident. We have taken the unusual step of sharing information about these attacks with a broad audience not just because of the security and human rights implications of what we have unearthed, but also because this information goes to the heart of a much bigger global debate about freedom of speech. In the last two decades, China's economic reform programs and its citizens' entrepreneurial flair have lifted hundreds of millions of Chinese people out of poverty. Indeed, this great nation is at the heart of much economic progress and development in the world today. We launched Google.cn in January 2006 in the belief that the benefits of increased access to information for people in China and a more open Internet outweighed our discomfort in agreeing to censor some results. At the time we made clear that "we will carefully monitor conditions in China, including new laws and other restrictions on our services. If we determine that we are unable to achieve the objectives outlined we will not hesitate to reconsider our approach to China." These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered--combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the web--have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China. We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China. The decision to review our business operations in China has been incredibly hard, and we know that it will have potentially far-reaching consequences. We want to make clear that this move was driven by our executives in the United States, without the knowledge or involvement of our employees in China who have worked incredibly hard to make Google.cn the success it is today. We are committed to working responsibly to resolve the very difficult issues raised.

But the Senate majority leader chatted freely with the two disarmingly charming book authors who came to his office at the Capitol shortly after the 2008 election. They — and their tape recorder — were soaking in his reminiscences about the wild campaign that had turned a backbencher in his caucus into president of the United States. Reid wasn't on guard — perhaps because he'd been told by his staff that the meeting would be "off the record," according to a person with knowledge of the exchange. Although Reid is a master of the Senate's mysterious inside game, he's often botched the outside game because of what one colleague calls a "penchant for saying things without a filter." But Jim Manley, Reid's senior communications adviser, wasn't too worried as he and his boss sat down with John Heilemann of New York Magazine and Mark Halperin of Time magazine — two veteran reporters who were working on what their publisher had billed as "a sweeping, novelistic, and ultimately definitive portrait" of the 2008 race. Like virtually every Washington political insider, Manley had a long and warm relationship with Halperin, the longtime political director for ABC News who once set conventional wisdom in Washington with "The Note." Maybe Reid and Manley — thinking back to their many candid exchanges over the years — simply assumed that Halperin wouldn't burn him or his boss. Or maybe he expected that Halperin would check back with him on any quotes he planned to use? Whatever they were thinking, they were wrong. Reid was talking about the reasons why, even though he had publicly professed neutrality in the vicious Democratic primaries of 2008, he had secretly encouraged then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to challenge another member of his caucus, then-New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. And amid all the talk of Obama's oratorical gifts, he let slip something else: Obama could win the White House because he was a "light-skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." The authors write in "Game Change," published this weekend, that Reid had made the remark "privately." They did not say he had said it to them. As a chagrined Reid telephoned political allies in the Senate and civil rights community to shore up his support this weekend, he made it clear that he felt burned by the authors. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767821 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767821 Date: 08/31/2015 In the book's"Authors' Note," they wrote: "All of our interviews — from those with junior staffers to those with the candidates themselves — were conducted on a 'deep background' basis, which means we agreed not to identify the subjects as sources in any way. We believed this was essential to eliciting the level of candor on which a book of this sort depends." Heilemann said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe": "We had a very clear agreement with all those sources that our interviews would be on deep background.... Our ground rules are ... that we won't identify any of our sources as the sources of the material. But we said to them all very clearly that if they put themselves in scenes of the book, if they were uttering dialogue to people in the book in part of a scene, that we would identify them as the utterer of those words." Halperin added: "There's no one we talked to for the book who we burned in any way, or violated any agreement with." Manley, a Capitol Hill veteran who also had worked for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, had been responsible for monitoring the interview and dealing with issues arising from it. But he didn't tell anyone else in Reid's inner circle about the inflammatory remarks their boss had made; because of his good relationship with the authors, he assumed that the quotes would never be made public — at least not without his knowing about it first. Manley declined comment on this story-- and wouldn't confirm if the interview took place. On Friday at 10 p.m. — half a year after the interview — The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder e-mailed Reid's staff with questions about a "light-skinned" candidate without a "Negro dialect." In the second-guessing that followed, Capitol Hill veterans said there was no way that such inflammatory words from a Senate majority leader would remain off the record, even if that had been the arrangement. But because Manley had not sounded an internal alarm, he and the rest of the damage-control squad were caught flatfooted by Ambinder's e-mail, several people close to the situation told POLITICO. "They could have had weeks to prepare for this or to try to convince Halperin not to run it," said a Democrat who participated in some of the damage control. Now the staff had been blindsided with a revelation that, if mishandled, could be politically fatal. Manley and other aides worked until 2 a.m. Saturday to draft Reid's carefully written apology, which emphasized his record on AfricanAmerican issues. "I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words," the 90-word statement began. Later on Saturday, Manley helped lead a counteroffensive, calling White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, a friend from his days as communications director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, to set up an apology call between Reid, at home in Searchlight, Nev., and Obama back in Washington. In a stunning "Statement by the President" e-mailed to reporters at 3:55 p.m. Saturday, Obama said: "Harry Reid called me today and apologized for an unfortunate comment reported today.... As far as I'm concerned, the book is closed." Relieved to have the president's solid backing, Reid's aides decided that their toughest challenge would be to prevent any prominent African-American Democrats from attacking Reid too harshly — or calling for his resignation. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767821 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767821 Date: 08/31/2015 Reid's team correctly anticipated that Republicans would demand his head. Keeping that criticism from becoming a bipartisan drumbeat was the key. The team calculated that as long as the attacks looked like partisan shouting, Reid would benefit. Aides say their boss quickly understood the danger and spent much of Saturday working a call list of about 30 prominent African-Americans across the country. On the calls, he apologized for his words and argued that the book's main takeaway should be that he had quietly supported Obama over Clinton, long before those made his feelings public. Among those he called were the Rev. Al Sharpton; longtime civil rights leader Julian Bond; Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus; political consultant and talk-show fixture Donna Brazile; House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.); Wade Henderson, CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights; and Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington office. The extent of the damage to his already shaky reelection chances in Nevada won't be known until November. But by Monday, Reid believed the Washington storm was passing. From his home in New York, Sen. Chuck Schumer telephoned Reid in Nevada and offered to organize a letter of support from all the Democratic senators. Reid decided that was unnecessary. He had confidently concluded that for now, at least, he had won the inside game.

Late this morning we learned that SYG Ban Ki Moon was in touch with AMB Rice, and told her that there were approximately 100 UN staff still buried under the rubble at MINUSTAH, SYG Ban formally requested helicopter search and rescue teams. AMB Rice underscored that we need to make getting those SARs a priority. I'm attaching our draft talking points from about an hour and a half ago; the background sections in particular have some useful information. Currently, Southcom is conducting aerial reconnaissance of the airport to determine in what sort of repair it is. The talking points note that several countries and organizations (Dominican Republic, Chile, UK, the Netherlands, IADB) have offered assistance to Haiti (and info'd us). In addition to those on the list, the Israelis are trying to send several urban search and rescue teams (some of the team members need help getting visas to transit Miami en route to Port-au-Prince). The UN Situation Center is in contact with MINUSTAH's Deputy Force Commander. They have been working to clear a couple of major streets in Port-au-Prince, as noted in the talking points. They have also reviewed the airport, and their Deputy Force Commander told the UN Situation Center several hours ago that the airport was functional (in the sense that the tarmac was intact and planes could physically land). Oren Anolik, political counselor at the Israeli Embassy, called around 2 a.m. to ask if there were any updates. We had few updates at that time, other than to let him know that we had learned the damage to southern Haiti was much more extensive than that in the north.

FIRST STORY Talks under way for N-deal with US: Haqqani By Zulciernain Tahir Monday, 15 Feb, 2010 I 06:02 AM PST I LAHORE: Pakistan's Ambassador to US Husain Haqqani has said the government has started negotiating with the United States for an agreement on nuclear technology. "The US is not sceptical about our nuclear programme. Talks between Pakistan and the US for cooperation on atomic programmes are under way and we want the US to have an agreement with us like the one it had with India on civil nuclear technology," Mr Haqqani said at a reception hosted by Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer on Sunday. He said Pakistan would get 16 latest F-16 aircraft in June. He said although the expectations of Pakistan and the US with each other usually did not fulfil, both were indispensable for each other. "We have to largely depend upon the US for our defence related matters. "India is our main concern as it is buying weapons worth $100 billion from five countries, including China, and to balance it our relations with the US are very significant," he said and added that India had 5,500 tanks and there was a question against whom they would be used. "We cannot be assured by statements that India will not wage a war against us." Giving a reason as to why Pakistan had to look towards the US for enhancing its military capacity and capability, Mr Haqqani said the European countries did not offer soft terms for buying weapons. "Ties with the US are important for a secure, stable and prosperous Pakistan." Mr Haqqani said Pakistan had also made it clear on the US that it should ensure a strengthened and Islamabad-friendly regime in Kabul before leaving. He said Pakistan had sought drone technology from America. "On one hand our innocent people are losing their lives while on the other Taliban leaders like Baitullah Mehsud get killed in such attacks," he said.

In reply to a question, he said Pakistan's embassy in the US was working on diplomatic and legal aspects in Dr Aafia Siddiqui case and was making efforts for securing her release or transfer of her case to a Pakistani court. SECOND STORY No nuclear deal with Pakistan, says US By Anwar lqbal Monday, 01 Mar, 2010 I 07:15 AM PST I WASHINGTON: The Obama administration has told Pakistan it would not get an atomic power plant or a civilian nuclear deal from the United States. A senior US official, while briefing Indian journalists in Washington, said the United States was working closely with Pakistan to help meet its growing energy needs. "But nuclear power is not currently part of our discussions," and the United States had conveyed its decision to Pakistan, the official said. He said the administration had also told Pakistan that "there is no way they can get a civilian nuclear deal similar to the one the Obama administration has signed with India". The lndo-US civilian nuclear deal, the official said, was "specific to India only and there is no thinking going on in the administration to create a template for it."

His debate partner and best friend was a classmate named Josh Goldberg, meaning that at the end of many tournaments, the judge would announce "Goldberg-Hussain" as the cultural odd couple who had won the argument. "People got a kick out of it," Hussain said in a recent interview. "We joked that one day we would have the solution to the peace process." The two remain close friends. In his new position, Hussain, who is both a Koran scholar and an ardent North Carolina Tar Heels basketball fan, will be responsible for helping to bridge another cultural divide -- the one in U.S. relations with Muslims inside and outside the nation's borders. Since taking office, Obama has adopted an approach to broaden the ways in which the United States engages the Islamic world, moving from a policy focused mostly on counterterrorism to one that includes partnerships with Muslim countries and communities in education, health, science and commerce. Hussain, 31, will be the face of that policy in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, where the Islamic Conference has it headquarters, and in the other capitals of its 56 member countries. His is an appropriately young face for an American representative to the world's 1.6 billion Muslims, the majority of whom are younger than he is. At a time when the United States is fighting two wars in Muslim nations and defending itself against an enduring terrorist threat, changing perceptions will take time. "The challenge is to continue to communicate that this is a long-term process," Hussain said. "Sometimes the challenge becomes that people want to focus exclusively on the political issues, issues that this administration is working very diligently to solve." Hussain's father, a mining engineer, moved from Bihar, India, to Wyoming in the late 1960s. A few years later, during a visit to India, he married Hussain's mother, now an obstetrician in Plano. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767843 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767843 Date: 08/31/2015 The family prayed regularly in a mosque not far from the church-heavy city. At about the time he began middle school, the Persian Gulf War began and, as he recalled, "it was not the easiest time to be named Hussain." But he said he encountered very little religious persecution during a childhood that featured study, prayer and basketball -- a passion he shares with the president. Hussain said it is his "dream" to play in one of Obama's pickup games. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then enrolled at Harvard University to pursue a master's degree in Arabic and Islamic studies. An internship after his first year of graduate school with Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) cemented his interest in government, and he returned after completing his degree to work on the House Judiciary Committee and was there on the morning of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "I experienced firsthand being evacuated from the building, not knowing what was going on, seeing the twin towers burning on TV as soon as I got into work, not knowing . . . whether there was a plane heading for the Capitol," he said. "I very much experienced the terror on that day myself." In the following days, he said, he experienced a "whole set of feelings," from the initial fear of attack to worry about discrimination against American Muslims. He said he found that compassion, broader than the pockets of persecution, is often overlooked by Muslims here and abroad. "A lot is made about American misperceptions about Muslim communities, but there's a lot of misperceptions that Muslim communities have about the United States," he said. To counter such misunderstandings of Muslim culture, Hussain cited his wife, whom he said "breaks down a lot of the misperceptions of women in Islam." Isra Bhatty, a Yale Law School student currently on a Rhodes scholarship, wears the hijab and is an epic Chicago Bears fan. Hussain left Capitol Hill to attend Yale Law School. While there, he criticized the trial of Sami al-Arian, a University of South Florida professor, as "politically motivated persecution." Arian was accused of aiding the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. Hussain, who did not criticize the charges against Arian, was on a civil liberties panel with Arian's daughter when he made the comment. A jury acquitted Arian on some charges and deadlocked on others; he eventually pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy. "My extensive writings on this topic make it clear that I condemn terrorism unequivocally in all its forms," Hussain said. "I'd be happy to put that against one sentence from 2004 that I believe was taken out of context." After the 2008 election, Hussain was recruited to the White House counsel's office by Cassandra Butts, a fellow Tar Heel and Obama's former Harvard Law classmate. He has worked there on national security and new-media issues and helped inform the administration's Muslim outreach efforts. Ben Rhodes, Obama's chief foreign policy speechwriter, sought Hussain's counsel last year as he drafted the president's Cairo address. Hussain said his advice concerned the contributions Muslims have made to American society and the context behind some of the religious passages. Hussain has memorized the Koran. He prays daily, often in a room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building reserved for all faiths. Hussain traveled in the Middle East after Obama announced his appointment during a Feb. 13 videoconference at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, Qatar. His approach, Hussain said, will be to emphasize to Muslim countries what "America stands for," including through the partnerships. "It's clear that we're not going to agree on every single issue," Hussain said. "Our job will be to try to maximize our areas of agreement and work through our areas of disagreement and come to the best policy."

In his new position, Hussain, who is both a Koran scholar and an ardent North Carolina Tar Heels basketball fan, will be responsible for helping to bridge another cultural divide -- the one in U.S. relations with Muslims inside and outside the nation's borders. Since taking office, Obama has adopted an approach to broaden the ways in which the United States engages the Islamic world, moving from a policy focused mostly on counterterrorism to one that includes partnerships with Muslim countries and communities in education, health, science and commerce. Hussain, 31, will be the face of that policy in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, where the Islamic Conference has it headquarters, and in the other capitals of its 56 member countries. His is an appropriately young face for an American representative to the world's 1.6 billion Muslims, the majority of whom are younger than he is. At a time when the United States is fighting two wars in Muslim nations and defending itself against an enduring terrorist threat, changing perceptions will take time. "The challenge is to continue to communicate that this is a long-term process," Hussain said. "Sometimes the challenge becomes that people want to focus exclusively on the political issues, issues that this administration is working very diligently to solve." Hussain's father, a mining engineer, moved from Bihar, India, to Wyoming in the late 1960s. A few years later, during a visit to India, he married Hussain's mother, now an obstetrician in Plano.

At about the time he began middle school, the Persian Gulf War began and, as he recalled, "it was not the easiest time to be named Hussain." But he said he encountered very little religious persecution during a childhood that featured study, prayer and basketball -- a passion he shares with the president. Hussain said it is his "dream" to play in one of Obama's pickup games. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then enrolled at Harvard University to pursue a master's degree in Arabic and Islamic studies. An internship after his first year of graduate school with Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) cemented his interest in government, and he returned after completing his degree to work on the House Judiciary Committee and was there on the morning of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "I experienced firsthand being evacuated from the building, not knowing what was going on, seeing the twin towers burning on TV as soon as I got into work, not knowing . . . whether there was a plane heading for the Capitol," he said. "I very much experienced the terror on that day myself." In the following days, he said, he experienced a "whole set of feelings," from the initial fear of attack to worry about discrimination against American Muslims. He said he found that compassion, broader than the pockets of persecution, is often overlooked by Muslims here and abroad. "A lot is made about American misperceptions about Muslim communities, but there's a lot of misperceptions that Muslim communities have about the United States," he said. To counter such misunderstandings of Muslim culture, Hussain cited his wife, whom he said "breaks down a lot of the misperceptions of women in Islam." Isra Bhatty, a Yale Law School student currently on a Rhodes scholarship, wears the hijab and is an epic Chicago Bears fan. Hussain left Capitol Hill to attend Yale Law School. While there, he criticized the trial of Sami al-Arian, a University of South Florida professor, as "politically motivated persecution." Arian was accused of aiding the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. Hussain, who did not criticize the charges against Arian, was on a civil liberties panel with Arian's daughter when he made the comment. A jury acquitted Arian on some charges and deadlocked on others; he eventually pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy. "My extensive writings on this topic make it clear that I condemn terrorism unequivocally in all its forms," Hussain said. "I'd be happy to put that against one sentence from 2004 that I believe was taken out of context." After the 2008 election, Hussain was recruited to the White House counsel's office by Cassandra Butts, a fellow Tar Heel and Obama's former Harvard Law classmate. He has worked there on national security and new-media issues and helped inform the administration's Muslim outreach efforts. Ben Rhodes, Obama's chief foreign policy speechwriter, sought Hussain's counsel last year as he drafted the president's Cairo address. Hussain said his advice concerned the contributions Muslims have made to American society and the context behind some of the religious passages. Hussain has memorized the Koran. He prays daily, often in a room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building reserved for all faiths. Hussain traveled in the Middle East after Obama announced his appointment during a Feb. 13 videoconference at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, Qatar. His approach, Hussain said, will be to emphasize to Muslim countries what "America stands for," including through the partnerships. "It's clear that we're not going to agree on every single issue," Hussain said. "Our job will be to try to maximize our areas of agreement and work through our areas of disagreement and come to the best policy."

Following up on the Secretary's request, when would you like to regroup about communications support in Pakistan? As food for thought, I've been talking with She's a great source of insight and information on the ground, with a valuable independent perspective. She is very tuned into the government's cornmunications challenges and opportunities. In her view, while the need is more urgent than ever, the government does have positive programs and policies that would generate good will if people knew about them. Communications seems to suffer both from a lack of perspective politicians are obsessed with politics in the capital, rather than the needs of people at the grassroots - and a lack of both practical expertise and proactive strategy. They need a plan for publicizing initiatives that benefit people, as well as hands-on training and support to execute effectively. This sounds very similar to the situation my team dealt with in Lebanon, where we worked with the government, political parties and NG0s. We learned not to let a state of crisis be an obstacle to moving forward with a communications program - they're always in crisis and, as you know, effective communications is part of the long-term solution. I know there may be concern about working with US consultants. One approach would be to work through NDI, which has great contacts and credibility on the ground. That's how we did it in Lebanon. I hope some of this is useful food for thought. You may recall that, when we met before the holidays, I showed you the program we did in Lebanon.

However, as the former head of humanitarian operations at USAID under Pres.

The deployment of Coast Guard and SouthComm resources, the immediate organization of an interdepartmental group to coordinate USG efforts, the deployment of multiple USAID urban search and rescue units as well as a DART, and the ability to make these decisions without delay is impressive. Managing information flow with early statements by the Pres. and Sec. followed by your press conference on relief plans effectively focused attention on the US leadership role. Please pass on my "good job" to whomever has been leading this effort. It's as good as I have seen from the USG. Let me know if there is anyway I can be of help.

Benjamin Netanyahu was referring to the Jordan River Valley along the eastern border of the West Bank. Palestinians claim all of the West Bank as part of their future state. Netanyahu's pronouncement comes as the U.S. is pushing hard to restart peace talks. Palestinians hesitate to negotiate because of Netanyahu's hardline attitudes and Israeli settlement construction. Netanyahu told a parliamentary committee Tuesday that the Jordan Valley's strategic importance makes it impossible for Israel to withdraw, according to a meeting participant who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed.

Bachelet's team initially underestimated the devastation in the affected area, but have moved quickly in the past 24 hours to restore public order which remains a major challenge. While Santiago looks superficially normal, there is still a huge cleanup effort ahead in the city and emotions are running high. Restoring services to Concepcion, Maule and the other affected areas will take weeks if not months. Without electricity there is no water or telecommunications. Chileans are proud and reluctant to accept much external support for the recovery effort. While they have grudgingly opened up to international offers of assistance, their wish list is short, and limited to very specific items. I believe they need to be much more expansive in their outreach to the international community. But this is a hard sell. With Bachelet, you should express condolences, review current and pending U.S. support, and seek out her views on how we can be most helpful moving forward.

UN assistance to the victims has been complicated by the fact that a significant number of UN personnel, including UNDP colleagues, serving in the country are unaccounted for. The headquarters of the UN Mission and peacekeeping operations, MINUSTAH, collapsed in the tremors and many people are still trapped inside. UNDP Administrator Helen Clark is meeting with the Secretary-General and other senior personnel continually today and the whole UN system is mobilized to bring the UN team in Haiti all necessary assistance as soon as possible to assess the damage, loss of life and injuries, and to support the national and international response efforts. The building which housed UNDP and a large number of sister agencies - UNFPA, WFP, UNEP and UNIFEM - was partially damaged, and rescue workers are continuing to search through the rubble. Senior UNDP officials are in close touch with the Resident Co-ordinator, Kim Bolduc, who is operating out of a MlNUSTAH logistics base near the airport. She reports that the situation is critical for staff with limited access to food, water, sanitation and medical attention. In the coming hours UNDP will be dispatching additional staff, including stress counselors and medical doctors, as well communications equipment, to Port-au-Prince. Arrangements are also being made to evacuate injured and non-essential staff out from the country and to care for and assist its many local staff members. Due to the limited logistics capacity in Haiti, most of the staff and equipment needed will be transiting through the Dominican Republic. Plans for strengthening the UNDP office in that country are already underway. Administrator Clark says UNDP will do whatever it can to support its staff in Haiti and to equip them with the necessary tools to help the Haitian people on what will be a long road to recovery. As a first step she expects a UN emergency response team lead by UN Office of the Coordinator for Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) to be on the ground shortly to help co-ordinate humanitarian relief efforts.

Commercial sections, restaurants, and art galleries will be built, turning it into a bustling tourist zone. For the first time, the local residents will have the legitimate right to live in this neighborhood. The Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, has introduced his new development plan for the King's Garden area, located south of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The proposal — soon to be brought before the local and regional planning committees for discussion — aims to create a mixed use of the area, making it attractive to both tourists and the local residents. The project will comprise several interlaced elements: I. Restoration of the garden: The western part of the Gan Hamelech area will be restored to its historical condition as a site of international as well as national prominence. The Gihon Spring will once again flow along the Kidron Valley, the orchards will be replanted, and a blooming garden will be grown, which would be open to both visitors and the neighborhood residents. 2. Development of commerce, restaurants and tourism: In the eastern part of the neighborhood, about 3000 sq.m of land will be approved for the construction of commercial areas, restaurants, artists' workshops, souvenir and local art shops, all on the ground level. 3. Housing units for the welfare of the district residents: On the eastern side, above the commercial level, housing units will be built to satisfy the needs of the local residents. 4. Infrastructure: The area, having been designated in the past to be an open recreational space, has not been planned or developed. The Jerusalem Municipality intends to design urban infrastructure, including the upgrade of the road and sewage infrastructure and other local facilities. 5. A public facility building: According to the plan, large building for the welfare of the neighborhood residents will be constructed on a 2000 sq.m site designated to include public areas, schoolrooms, day care centers, kindergartens, workout gyms, infant welfare centers, etc. The center, in addition to other establishments promoted by the municipality for the welfare of the residents of the eastern part of the city, will provide suitable solutions for the neighborhood residents. Underground a parking lot will be built for about 140 vehicles. This plan constitutes a precedent inasmuch as apart from enforcing the law upon illegally built houses, it also enables and helps residents to build new homes in accordance with the law. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767858 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767858 Date: 08/31/2015 This plan is considered a bold move due to the following reasons: According to the national law, the King's Garden is at present classified as an open recreational space. Some of the neighborhood houses are under continuous legal proceedings, including fines, demolition orders, etc. Throughout the years and especially after regulating the sewage infrastructure in 1992, extensive parts of the park have been destroyed, and dozens of structures have been erected without permits. Thus, within a short time another greenbelt has ceased to exist in the city. The area, which for centuries has been preserved as an open space, and until 1967 had included no more than four buildings, has turned into a slum, lacking infrastructure, public institutions, and devoid of any planning. The municipal plan for the King's Garden neighborhood intends to restore the area to its natural state, the way it used to be as an open space for the benefit of residents and tourists, while providing an appropriate solution to the needs of the inhabitants of the area and creating tourist and business opportunities for the entire district. The proposal considers the long lasting present situation whereby about 120 families inhabit the neighborhood under difficult housing conditions. The realization of this program is a particularly difficult process, in view of the fact that the land in this area is not regulated. The process requires shifting some buildings from the western side of the Kidron Valley to its eastern side, which involves special legal procedures. The process requires designing and judiciary creativity as well as the cooperation of numerous factors. The Jerusalem Municipality acts vis-à-vis all these factors, among which are the municipal legal department and the State Attorney, for the purpose of finding a legitimate solution suitable for the recent design and enforcement of the Jerusalem municipality. The process requires determination on the part of government factors and cooperation on the part of the local residents and their representatives. Whenever the residents cooperate, the municipality will be flexible, but when they attempt to undermine the plan, the municipality will remain firm in its implementation. In the course of last year, dozens of meetings and debates were held with the neighborhood residents and their representatives, with the intent of formulating a fair program which would consider their needs as well as the extensive public interest, and with the objective of establishing a fundamental trust in the intentions and the program of the municipality.

He says there were court documents unsealed this evening regarding Blackwater and Nissour Square. In the documents, David Farrington, DS agent, claims there was a cover-up by other RSOs who handled evidence in such a way that they hoped the case would go away. He is writing for tomorrow. We have an immediate challenge of how to respond this evening for tomorrow's paper and then how to respond tonight or tomorrow when there is pick-up of the story. This will reverberate in Iraq as well. I assume that we are generally familiar with what Mr. Farrington said in court. So what is our view of his allegations? Did we investigate what he claimed? What were our conclusions? I would recommend a one-line response to Risen tonight but we will need more detailed guidance for tomorrow. Let me know how to proceed and what the facts are.

Not lost on the GPNG is the fact that the entire trip was postponed, not the PNG portion. As you can imagine that is politically very significant.

Ford Jr. had a telephone conversation with his friend Doug Band, the powerful counselor to former President Bill Clinton. Mr. Ford, the former Tennessee congressman who now works on Wall Street, wanted to discuss a potential challenge to Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand in New York's Democratic primary, a possibility he had flirted with for weeks. But Mr. Band was not encouraging. He told Mr. Ford that with Democrats reeling from political setbacks across the country, it would be bad for the party and his career if he entered the race. "It's not the right thing to do," he said, according to a person with direct knowledge of the conversation. A Ford spokesman confirmed the call but denied that Mr. Ford had been discouraged from running or that he had been told that doing so would hurt the party. The spokesman said Mr. Band told him the White House had pressured Mr. Clinton into supporting Ms. Gillibrand. Mr. Ford's decision not to run for the Senate, which he disclosed on Tuesday, came after he reached out to dozens of donors, advocates and political leaders. In private conversations, the same worries emerged: that a race against Ms. Gillibrand would be a brutal fight, dominated by endless debates about when he began paying taxes as a New York resident and the sincerity of his support for gay marriage and abortion rights. A campaign that he had hoped would focus on tax cuts and job growth would instead, he feared, become mired in discussions of "who got there first, and who meant it the most," on social issues, he told an associate. That might allow a Republican opponent to swoop in and take the seat from the bloodied Democratic nominee. What seemed to weigh on him, interviews with dozens of people who have met and spoken to his advisers revealed, was not his status as a carpetbagger who had moved to New York from Tennessee, but rather the reality that there were few easy constituencies for him to grab on to, outside of Wall Street, where he has worked since moving here in 2006. Many spoke on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to be seen as disclosing private conversations. As he hopscotched from city to city, charming crowds with bits of his Southern biography, signs of trouble for Mr. Ford emerged. His voting record in Congress put him on the right fringes of state Democrats, and his $2 million-a-year job at Merrill Lynch made it hard to run as a Scott Brown-style populist. What seemed like an improbable, even impossible campaign had its roots in conversations, many dating back a year, among Mr. Ford, 39, and a coterie of powerful friends from New York City, Washington and Los Angeles. Over dinner last July at the Post House, a clubby steakhouse on the Upper East Side, Richard Plepler, a co-president of HBO, urged Mr. Ford to restart his political career in New York. "I think you should give this serious thought," he said, of the Senate race. Mr. Ford replied that he would. After the dinner, Mr. Plepler sent an e-mail message to Douglas E. Schoen, a top Democratic pollster, to bounce the idea off him. Mr. Schoen was intrigued, and as he studied public polls, became convinced that Mr. Ford's best shot at reaching the Senate was to wage a campaign against Ms. Gillibrand. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767893 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767893 Date: 08/31/2015 Over the next few months, Mr. Ford sounded out many of New York's wealthiest and most politically connected executives, frequently over breakfast at the Regency Hotel on Park Avenue: Robert Wolf, the head of the United States investment banking division at UBS; Ronald Perelman, the billionaire chairman of Revlon; and Steven Rattner, the founder of Quadrangle, the private equity firm, all of whom are big Democratic donors. Mr. Rattner told Mr. Ford, who is also a political analyst on NBC, that money would not be a problem. "You can raise the money," he told him in December. Yet several big-name donors warned him that Ms. Gillibrand, a relentless campaigner, had beaten him to the punch. "She has already locked a lot of Wall Street up" was the message that Marc Lasry, a billionaire hedge fund manager, conveyed to Mr. Ford in a telephone conversation. As Mr. Ford traveled outside New York City, especially upstate, he found political support for Ms. Gillibrand to be shallow, and the hunger for change palpable. The mayor of Syracuse, Stephanie Miner, told him that residents there were "scared and desperate" about the economy, and she told Mr. Ford that Ms. Gillibrand was a rare presence in her city. But Ms. Gillibrand's strategy of portraying Mr. Ford as a showboating out-of-towner was starting to stick. In late January, the head of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, Assemblyman Vito J. Lopez, held a luncheon for Mr. Ford, and invited local lawmakers. During a two-hour question-and-answer session, Marty Markowitz, the borough president, pointed to several up-and-coming state senators around the room and observed that all of them had greater experience in New York politics than Mr. Ford. "With all due respect," he asked Mr. Ford, "why do you think you have what it takes to be New York's senator?" Even lawmakers who seemed open to a Ford candidacy warned him that peeling away support from Ms. Gillibrand would be harder than it seemed. Ruben Diaz Jr., the Bronx borough president, told Mr. Ford between bites of an omelet at a diner near his office, "It's difficult to make a strong case against her here." Ms. Gillibrand, he explained, had just secured $4 million worth of federal stimulus money to train his constituents for green jobs. Mr. Ford knew that some liberals would attack his relatively conservative voting record but, those he spoke with said, he was taken aback by the depth of the anger he encountered from advocates for abortion rights and gay marriage. After reporters found examples of Mr. Ford calling himself pro-life during his time in Congress, Mr. Ford vehemently pushed back, saying he had always supported a woman's right to choose. He assumed that would put the matter to rest. It did not. "He was dumbfounded that it kept tripping him up," a friend said. One of Mr. Ford's top advisers, Bradley Tusk, the campaign manager for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's 2009 re-election, arranged a meeting for Mr. Ford with a close Bloomberg ally, Kelli Conlin, the head of Naral-Pro Choice of New York. Mr. Ford expected a polite conversation that would help neutralize a foe. Ms. Conlin, however, started the meeting by quizzing Mr. Ford on his voting record and public statements. Did he realize, she asked, that he had backed legislation that would outlaw late-term abortions even when a woman's health is in danger? Far from conciliatory, Mr. Ford wanted to know why Naral allowed Ms. Gillibrand to vote for a health care bill that cut off financing for abortions. "You gave her a pass," he said. Before leaving, Mr. Ford told Ms. Conlin that if he chose to run he hoped to return to ask for the group's support. Ms. Conlin responded: "We can never support you if you take these positions." Mr. Ford "looked shocked," a person in the room said. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767893 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767893 Date: 08/31/2015 His meeting with gay rights advocates on Feb. 24 was rockier still. When he walked into the headquarters of the Stonewall Democrats in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, he was greeted by signs that read "Liar!" and "Go home snake oil Harry," a reference to his recent support for gay marriage after having twice voted to outlaw it in Congress. A few days later, the results of a poll that Mr. Ford had paid for out of his own pocket began to trickle in, giving his advisers pause. His negative ratings had increased slightly. A liberal primary electorate seemed wary about portions of his record. Ms. Gillibrand remained vulnerable, the data showed, but Mr. Ford's chance seemed to be 50-50. "It was not a slam dunk, at all," said a person who spoke with him and was briefed on the data. Mr. Tusk had told associates that to win, Mr. Ford needed 80 percent of the state's black vote, a tall order, but not inconceivable for an African-American in a Democratic primary. But by the end of the week, Gov. David A. Paterson and Representative Charles B. Rangel had become embroiled in ethics scandals. New York's black political elite was in seeming disarray, just when he needed them to be organized and unified. By Sunday, he had made up his mind not to run. He told his wife, Emily, and his father, former Representative Harold Ford Sr. He began to call friends the next evening, leaving many of them brief messages. "I'm not going to run this time," he said in one message. "Thank you for your support."

She was 46. "It is with profound sadness and shock that I announce the passing of Paula Nowakowski, my longtime chief of staff, trusted aide and friend, who died suddenly last night," Boehner said in a statement early Sunday afternoon. "Words cannot adequately express the sorrow and disbelief I and every member of our team are grappling with today in the wake of this stunning news." A Boehner aide said the cause was an apparent heart attack. President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) were among those who called Boehner Sunday to offer their condolences on Nowakoski's death. "The entire Capitol Hill community is shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Paula Nowakowski," Pelosi said in a statement. "As Chief of Staff to Republican Leader John Boehner, Paula earned the respect not only of her Leadership and Conference, but all House Members on both sides of the aisle. She served Leader Boehner both in his current position as well as previously at the Committee on Education and the Workforce with great distinction. "Paula was a thorough professional who loved the House and worked in a constructive and bipartisan fashion to implement policies to help the Congress function efficiently. On behalf of the entire House, I express our deep sadness to Paula's family, friends and our colleague, Leader John Boehner." "Paula had some of the finest qualities a public servant can have: she was committed to advancing the cause of freedom, she cared deeply about the people she served, and she was a patriot," said Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY.). "On behalf of her senate colleagues, I pass on my condolences to her family, Leader Boehner and his staff, and the whole House family for this tragic loss of our friend." It would be hard to overstate Nowakowski's role in Boehner's tight-knit office. She has worked for the Ohio Republican almost continuously since 1995, when she joined his staff as communications director for the Republican Conference. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767932 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767932 Date: 08/31/2015 In the years since, she has worked as staff director for the Education and Labor Committee and served as his chief of staff since he returned to the leadership in early 2006. She briefly left Boehner's side in 1998 after he lost the conference post following a tough election for Republicans but rejoined him in 2001 when he assumed the chairmanship of the Education and Labor Committee. Along the way, she counseled Boehner on just about every decision he made and often served as an enforcer of sorts for the collegial Republican leader. It would be hard to find any chief of staff on Capitol Hill who maintained a closer relationship with her boss than the one she shared with Boehner. Aides said Sunday that Boehner's office and extended network of former colleagues, known to many as "Boehner-land," were collectively shocked by the news. "We will remember Paula as she would want to be remembered — as a tireless worker, faithful friend, rabid Detroit sports fan, whip-smart strategist, warrior for freedom and devoted Catholic who counted President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II among her greatest heroes. She will never be replaced or forgotten," Boehner said. "I ask for your prayers for Paula's family." ©2009 Capitol News Company, LLC FD HIDDEN DIV Tmt Washington ost NEWS! POLITICS I OPINIONS!

Boehner's chief of staff, dies at 46 By Martin Weil Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, January 11, 2010; B04 Paula Nowakowski, 46, chief of staff for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, was found dead Jan. 10 at her home in Alexandria. No official cause of death was available. Antonia Ferrier, a spokeswoman for Boehner (R-Ohio), said it appeared that Ms. Nowakowski died of a heart attack. A longtime Hill aide, and Boehner's staff chief since 2006, Ms. Nowakowski was named by the Capitol Hill publication Roll Call to its 2009 list of the "Fabulous Fifty" staff members. The accolade recognized her savvy, her clout and her access to the top people in Congress. Ms. Nowakowski, an avowed conservative, was highly regarded by leaders of both parties. She was praised by Boehner and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). "It is with profound sadness and shock that I announce the passing of Paula Nowakowski, my longtime chief of staff, trusted aide, and friend, who died suddenly," Boehner said in a statement. "Words cannot adequately express the sorrow and disbelief I and every member of our team are grappling with today in the wake of this stunning news," Boehner said.

According to WhoRunsGov. corn, a Washington Post Co. Web site, Ms. Nowakowski grew up in St. Clair Shores, Mich., and studied English at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. She told Politico of being made more conservative by the campus "rise of the loony left," citing "wacky, wacky stuff," which shaped her politics. According to a reference book on congressional aides, she worked for the Republican National Committee in the late 1980s and early 1990s, then joined the staff of the House Republican Conference. After two years as a public affairs vice president of the American Insurance Association, she worked from 2001 to 2006 as staff director of the House Committee on Education & the Workforce. A Boehner aide said she worked for him at both the Republican Conference and the Education Committee. Pelosi's staff chief, John Lawrence, who was Ms. Nowakowski's Democratic counterpart on the education committee, said they transcended political differences to "work in a very collegial way to strengthen the House itself." He called her "a great professional." After the GOP lost its House majority in 2006 , Ms. Nowakowski said she experienced "the seven stages of grief," according to the Almanac of the Unelected 2008, a reference on Hill staffers. "You don't want to be a compliant minority," she said of the party's new status, "but you have to adjust your expectations." In his statement, Boehner called Ms. Nowakowski "a tireless worker, faithful friend and rabid Detroit sports fan. Survivors include her longtime companion, Michael Smith, her mother, a brother and a sister.

I expressed my sincerest condolences on behalf of the men and women of the State Department and the American people. This is one tragedy among so many. The United Nations has suffered grevious losses. And the Hatian people have endured unimaginable heartbreak. For the State Department, we have lost one of our own. Victoria was a veteran Foreign Service Officer who worked tirelessly to build bridges of understanding and respect between the people of the United State and the people of Haiti. She served her country with distinction and honor, and she will be sorely missed. Victoria's friends and colleagues at the Embassy are working day and night to support vital relief and recovery efforts, and our thoughts, our prayers, and our deepest thanks are with them as well. Along with the military personnel, the search and rescue teams, and all the aid and relief workers now deploying, they represent the unwavering commitment of the United States to stand with Haiti in its hour of need and in the hard days and years to come. My heart is with the DeLong family today, and with all those in Haiti and around the world who have lost loved ones and friends in this disaster. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767935 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767936 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Sullivan, Jacobi Thursday, March 4, 2010 6:37 PM Fw: Insulza speech Fyi Original Message --From: Kelly, Craig A To: Sullivan, Jacob J Sent: Thu Mar 04 18:34:05 2010 Subject: Fw: Insulza speech USOAS summary of Insulza remarks.

He reviewed his own performance applying the Inter-American Democratic Charter (IADC) over the past five years and concluded that the record was good. He conceded that he had intervened too late in the Honduras case but said that was because Zelaya waited until too late to extend the invitation, asserting that he cannot intervene without an invitation from the executive branch. "The truth is that we did everything possible to restore democracy in Honduras," he said. Insulza said the Honduras experience showed the OAS needs to develop "swifter and more flexible procedures" to allow it to respond more preemptively. This would include mechanisms for the OAS to "make itself present in countries where there are possible signs of instability." Insulza committed to "unreserved support" for the OAS human rights mechanisms, while respecting their autonomy. "Democracy is more than elections and includes such essential components as respect for human rights, freedom of expression, separation and independence of the branches of government, respect for the rule of law and the democratic institutional system, and transparency and honesty in government. It also establishes a link between democracy, development, and equity," he said. He talked about "modern multilateralism," modeled on the EU, as his vision for the OAS. "Modern multilateralism," he said, eschews Cold War divisions and "we all work together to build on our common principles." On the management side, Insulza claimed he had inherited a bad financial situation at the OAS and improved it. Nonetheless, he said, "we need more resources." He committed to seek them from non-traditional sources such as OAS observers, NG0s, the private sector and academia. He claimed his efforts to improve transparency and accountability had been commended by external auditors.

The massive magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit the island of Hispaniola has left thousands of children without parents. Before the quake even hit UNICEF statistics from 2007 show there were 380,000 orphans already in Haiti. "There are so many children that are in desperate need of help that's what we are here to do to keep them alive and get them the nutrients they need and clean water. It becomes the one place of stability for the kids where they have people UNICEF workers they can relate to they have educational material so they can start back with school," said Alissa Silverman, deputy director for UNICEF in the southeast region. "UNICEF is tracing family members and caring for children orphaned by the disaster to protect them from harm or exploitation." The number of children on the island is staggering. Forty-six percent of Haiti's population (nearly 10 million) is under the age of 18, more than half of the population is under 21. Prior to the earthquake, four of every 10 children lived in homes with mud floors or severely overcrowded conditions. "My first concern is who is with the kids how many of our nannies our ok and who is watching the kids and then all the kids on the streets," said Chareyl Moyes, the program manager for Wasatch International Adoption. Moyes works with a number of different agencies and orphanages in Haiti. She said early reports about how much damage they suffered are good. "But, there is going to be a concern about child trafficking so both Haitian and the United States governments are going to be careful about forging ahead with new adoptions. The need is going to be great," Moyes said. A lot of families in the U.S. according to a number of international adoption agencies across the country said some people were at the very end of the process to adopt a child from Haiti. "Now, it will set everyone back," Moyes said. Even though child trafficking is a major concern for Moyes she worries about the immediate help children need trapped in the rubble from a country in ruins. "How long will that child survive without somebody rescuing them," Moyes said. httpliwww.westportnow.comAndex.php?/v2/26294/ UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767942 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767942 Date: 08/31/2015 Save the Children Emergency Team Reaches Haiti An emergency response team from Westport's Save the Children successfully reached Haiti today and worked quickly with staff already on the ground to organize the distribution of tents, medicine, and toiletries to children and families in desperate need, the charity said. "Save the Children is extremely concerned about the well-being of children in Haiti at this critical moment and we are doing everything we can to quickly get relief supplies to those who need it most," said Charles MacCormack, president and CEO of Save the Children, in a news release. "Our staff on the ground is pulling out all the stops to overcome hurdles like blocked roads and unreliable access to the airport." "This is just the beginning of what will be a comprehensive five-year effort to build back better in Haiti. We are dedicated to not only addressing the immediate needs of children and families, but to making sure they have a brighter future ahead." http://childrenforeignpolicvblogs.com/2010/01/13/haitis-disastrous-earthquake-hits-children-hardest/ As someone in the anti-trafficking news of the disaster in Haiti has my mind rushing to worrying thoughts on how the disaster will increase human trafficking in the country. Such a large scale disaster will undoubtedly leave thousands and thousands of children, and their families, at an increased to be victimized by modern slavery. Haiti's Restavek system still has a tight grip on the community, leaving some 300,000 children in the country enslaved as domestic workers according to the UN. It is these children who will continue to anguish and suffer the most in the shadows of the earthquake.

State Department Investigating LGBT Treatment In Uganda and Throughout Africa Posted: 03 Mar 2010 11:01 PM PST Last January, we reported that Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and US Trade Representative Ron Kirk, asking them to "communicate immediately to the Ugandan government, and President Yoweri Museveni directly, that Uganda's beneficiary status under AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act) will be revoked should the proposed legislation be enacted." The legislation he's referring to, of course, is the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Bill that is, as far as we are able to determine, awaiting its second reading before Parliament. The State Department has now responded to Sen. Wyden's request. In a letter dated Feb 22, 2010 and released by Sen. Wyden's office, Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs Richard Verma responded that the department is not only "identified this issue as a priority in our bilateral relationship" with Uganda (PDF: 112KB/2 pages): We have reached out at the highest levels; Secretary Clinton and Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Johnnie Carson have discussed our concerns directly with President Museveni. In addition, our embassy in Kampala has been in close and regular contact with key political, media and civil society actors on the ground in Uganda, registering strong opposition to the bill and warning the Ugandans of potential consequences if it passes. The ambassador reiterated our concerns with President Museveni as recently as January 25, and Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero just visited Uganda on January 29. She met and offered support and encouragement to civil society groups opposed to the legislation and underscored our views to senior Ugandan officials. We are following this bill very closely. In Museveni's remarks urging Parliament to 'go slow" on considering the draconian legislation, ne cited a long conversation with Secretary Clinton in declaring that the bill was not just a domestic issue but also had foreign policy considerations. Assistant Secretary Verma characterized Uganda's proposed bill "a serious affront to internationally accepted human rights standards." And interestingly, the State Department's concerns aren't limited to Uganda: The State Department is also evaluating attitudes and laws that marginalize and criminalize and penalize the LGBT community in Africa more broadly. We have asked all of our embassies in Africa to report on host country laws and pending legislation that criminalizes homosexuality. In addition, our Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor has established a task force on LGBT issues to strategize a United States Government response to LBGT issues worldwide.

Many outlets warn a military campaign would turn Muslims against the United States and prefer a nonmilitary strategy promoting development. European commentators paid scant attention to Yemen prior to the Christmas Day bombing attempt. Some did mention the return of Guantanamo detainees and the potential for Yemen to serve as a haven for terrorists. But only a few outlets in Turkey and Britain reported on U.S. air strikes in early December. At the time, the Daily Telegraph stood out for boldly labeling Yemen "bin Laden's new base." Military approach could backfire Since the Christmas Day attempt, the floodgates of editorial opinion have opened. A broad spectrum now believe a U.S. intervention in Yemen is possible and just what al Qaeda wants. A Lithuanian commentator for centrist Lietuvos Zinios writes sardonically, "one does not need to be a genius" to understand how the Muslim world would react to opening a new front line against Yemen. "The U.S. view—that Iraq was a war of yesterday, Afghanistan is a war of today and Yemen will be a war of tomorrow unless pre-emptive action is taken— underlines the significance of this new front in the struggle against terrorism." Finland's right-of-center Aamulehtl December 29, 2009 A number of outlets say airstrikes will drive more people into the arms of radical Islamists and "make the local population more sympathetic with al Qaeda," as Russia's centrist Nezavisimaya Gazeta puts it. Some believe an attack on Yemen could lead to a conflict spreading throughout the region. Referring to President Obama's inaugural address, a Turkish commentator for the Islamic reformist daily Yeni Safak writes "a possible U.S. intervention in Yemen would make the Muslim world 'clench its fist' again." Several papers speculate a major U.S. military intervention in a country as unstable as Yemen will lead the United States into a quagmire. France's left-of-center Le Monde says this outcome is "precisely what al Qaeda is seeking to achieve." Commentators believe it will be difficult to drive al Qaeda out of Yemen, which a Belgian writer calls "an al Qaeda Trap." A columnist for France's rightof-center Le Figaro wants the international community to consider the tactics used against the Jihadists until now "before we dive headlong into battle," a view shared by others. Nation-building may be required Numerous observers say the United States should employ a broad strategy in Yemen, not just a military one. Several German papers argue, as left-of-center Sueddeutsche Zeitung does, that the country needs "development and better government" rather than air strikes against al Qaeda camps. Similarly, a pundit for Britain's left-of-center Independent wants the international community to provide "sustained and intensive attention, capacity building, and support" to the Yemeni people. Italy's centrist Corriere della Sera hopes the United States will opt for "all out but a with Yemen, collaboration" commentator for Britain's left-of-center Guardian, expressing a view shared by others on the left and right, says the United States should not be seen as propping up the unpopular president of Yemen.

He needs to support NI peace, not another problem. Sid March 5, 2010 New blow for Tories as lead slips in marginals By Nigel Morris and Michael Savage Poll shows crumbling support in target seats as David Cameron is drawn into Ashcroft non-dom row The Conservative lead is crumbling in the crucial marginal seats that David Cameron is relying on to deliver general election victory for the party, a poll last night disclosed. The result was a fresh setback for the Tory leader after a torrid day in which he was drawn deeper into the row over the billionaire peer Lord Ashcroft, when it emerged that he had known for less than a month that Lord Ashcroft had maintained his non-dom tax status for 10 years. The chances of the party drawing a line under the controversy were also wrecked by the announcement that Lord Ashcroft will be summoned to the Commons to explain why he negotiated a secret deal to enter the House of Lords without paying tax in this country on his overseas fortune. With Gordon Brown expected to announce the election date this month, senior Tories have put a brave face on their sliding support in national opinion polls since the turn of the year. They insisted they were performing much more strongly in marginal constituencies where the drive for votes has been masterminded and substantially funded by Lord Ashcroft. The YouGov poll for Channel 4 News found the Tory lead in 60 Labour-held marginals had shrunk from seven to just two points over the past year. The slide in Conservative support is further evidence Britain could be heading for a hung parliament after the election expected on 6 May. The survey put the Tories on 39 per cent (down four points since last year) and Labour on 37 per cent (up one). YouGov calculated that the results would leave the Tories the largest party after the election, but 11 seats short of an overall Commons majority. An investigation by The Independent last week found the Tories spent £6m over two years in the marginal battlegrounds, in most cases far outspending Labour and the Liberal Democrats. The party faces the daunting challenge of capturing 117 seats to achieve a majority of just one - a task described by a shadow cabinet member as a "mountain to climb". The Conservatives received some good news yesterday when an 18-month inquiry by the Electoral Commission concluded that the £5.1m they received in donations from Bearwood Corporate Services, controlled by Lord Ashcroft, were legal. The party would have faced having to pay the money back had the electoral watchdog reached the opposite conclusion. However, the commission added its regret that the Tories refused to agree to interviews and that Lord Ashcroft had destroyed documents relating to the ownership of the company.

What America must do now—and why. By Barack Obama I NEWSWEEK Published Jan 15, 2010 From the magazine issue dated Jan 25, 2010 In the last week, we have been deeply moved by the heartbreaking images of the devastation in Haiti: parents searching through rubble for sons and daughters; children, frightened and alone, looking for their mothers and fathers. At this moment, entire parts of Port-au-Prince are in ruins, as families seek shelter in makeshift camps. It is a horrific scene of shattered lives in a poor nation that has already suffered so much. In response, I have ordered a swift, coordinated, and aggressive effort to save lives in Haiti. We have launched one of the largest relief efforts in recent history. I have instructed the leaders of all agencies to make our response a top priority across the federal government. We are mobilizing every element of our national capacity: the resources of development agencies, the strength of our armed forces, and most important, the compassion of the American people. And we are working closely with the Haitian government, the United Nations, and the many international partners who are also aiding in this extraordinary effort. We act for the sake of the thousands of American citizens who are in Haiti, and for their families back home; for the sake of the Haitian people who have been stricken with a tragic history, even as they have shown great resilience; and we act because of the close ties that we have with a neighbor that is only a few hundred miles to the south. But above all, we act for a very simple reason: in times of tragedy, the United States of America steps forward and helps. That is who we are. That is what we do. For decades, America's leadership has been founded in part on the fact that we do not use our power to subjugate others, we use it to lift them up—whether it was rebuilding our former adversaries after World War II, dropping food and water to the people of Berlin, or helping the people of Bosnia and Kosovo rebuild their lives and their nations. At no time is that more true than in moments of great peril and human suffering. It is why we have acted to help people combat the scourge of HIV/AIDS in Africa, or to recover from a catastrophic tsunami in Asia. When we show not just our power, but also our compassion, the world looks to us with a mixture of awe and admiration. That advances our leadership. That shows the character of our country. And it is why every American can look at this relief effort with the pride of knowing that America is acting on behalf of our common humanity. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767971 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767971 Date: 08/31/2015 Right now, our search-and-rescue teams are on the ground, pulling people from the rubble. Americans from Virginia and California and Florida have worked round the clock to save people whom they've never met. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen quickly deployed to the scene. Hand in hand with our civilians, they're laboring day and night to facilitate a massive logistical enterprise; to deliver and distribute food, water, and medicine to save lives; and to prevent an even larger humanitarian catastrophe. Greater help is on the way. This will be a complex and difficult rescue and recovery operation, and it takes time to move all of the resources necessary into such a devastated environment. But more American rescue teams, doctors, nurses, and paramedics will arrive to care for the injured. More water, food, and supplies will be delivered. An aircraft carrier has arrived. A naval hospital ship has been deployed. And additional aircraft and heavy equipment will restore communications and clear roads and ports to speed relief and hasten recovery. In addition, in this new century no great challenge will be one we can solve alone. In this humanitarian effort, we'll work closely with other nations, so that our work on the ground is efficient and effective even under what are very difficult conditions. We'll also join with the United Nations, which has done so much to bring security and stability to Haiti over the years, and which has suffered terrible losses in this tragedy. And we'll partner with the constellation of nongovernmental organizations that have a long and established record of working to improve the lives of the Haitian people. It is also important to note that all of these efforts will be bolstered by the continuing good will and generosity of ordinary citizens. Governments alone are not enough. Already, a record number of donations have come in through text messaging. Money has poured into the Red Cross and other relief organizations. I want to thank the many Americans who have already contributed to this effort. And I want to encourage all Americans who want to help to go to whitehouse.gov to learn more. And, lastly, in the days, months, and years ahead, we'll need to work closely with the government and people of Haiti to reclaim the momentum that they achieved before the earthquake. It is particularly devastating that this crisis has come at a time when—at long last, after decades of conflict and instability—Haiti was showing hopeful signs of political and economic progress. In the months and years to come, as the tremors fade and Haiti no longer tops the headlines or leads the evening news, our mission will be to help the people of Haiti to continue on their path to a brighter future. The United States will be there with the Haitian government and the United Nations every step of the way. In the aftermath of disaster, we are reminded that life can be unimaginably cruel. That pain and loss is so often meted out without any justice or mercy. That "time and chance" happen to us all. But it is also in these moments, when we are brought face to face with our own fragility, that we rediscover our common humanity. We look into the eyes of another and see ourselves. And so the United States of America will lead the world in this humanitarian endeavor. That has been our history, and that is how we will answer the challenge before us. Michael H.

We arrived at the general hospital last night with 1500 people sick or dying with 40 percent needing surgery. It has no water electricity or food and very limited surgical suites or supplies It the largest and most well known public hospital in the city and according to PIH and paul farmer needs to be supported and it's infrastucture needs to be rebuilt. Right now we have surgeons but not enough operating rooms set up. We desperately need to get a generator and fuel and surgical lights and surgery supplies not just first aid. There are hundreds including children with festering wounds needing amputation and emergency surgical care. The doctors nurses and patients have no food or water. Can you help get the infrastructure of electricity water and a medical hospital tent for post op patients. We are operating with headlamps and hacksaws rinsed with alcohol. If we have the electricity and water we can open 11 operating rooms tomorrow if we get what we need. Can the military help ASAP and for security of equipment and medication. Until this morning when none at the General. did the first amuptation there was almost no surgery happening at all here in the city and Five days after the quake with no acute surgical care wounds are festering patients are getting septic and dying. If we had a little help with basic servcices we could stop this. I don't have cell or email at the hospital. Please coordinate with Claire Pierre or Nancy from PIH. Thank you thank you thank you.

First Minister and Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Peter Robinson has said that Empey's support is an essential component of "community confidence" in the deal, and that a "no" vote by the UUP on March 9 would prompt him to resign as First Minister, forcing Assembly elections to seek a unionist mandate for devolution of policing and justice. Such an outcome would effectively scuttle the Hillsborough Agreement and severely harm both local and international confidence in Northern Ireland's political institutions. There is also a strong possibility that Sinn Fein could become the largest party in the Assembly, which could cause a stalemate in establishing a new Executive after elections. (Under the St. Andrew's Agreement, the largest party holds the position of First Minister.) While electoral considerations factor significantly in UTJF' and DUP behavior at present, Empey's position is based on: 1) his anger at a lack of consultation by DUP and Sinn Fein during devolution negotiations; and 2) frustration with the dysfunctional workings of the Executive and the UUP's exclusion from decision-making. Empey is also looking to leverage the spoiler role, tacitly granted him by Robinson's position, to force the Executive to address the ongoing impasse on educational reform as a precondition of his support; an outcome that could benefit him electorally. Since Hillsborough, Reg has received repeated calls from PMs Brown and Cowen, and Cameron and other senior Conservative Party officials. Empey has rebuffed them all and it appears their influence is limited. The Tories feel that Empey, who is increasingly isolated within the UUP, must be able to show his constituency that he has "gotten something" from the Hillsborough process, even if it is only a promise from the Executive to establish a framework to resolve the impasse on education. The Tories acknowledge that a commitment to future talks on education may not be enough for Empey, given his electoral concerns. Empey's focus on getting a concession on education puts disproportionate pressure on education ministerial portfolio-holder Sinn Fein. As a result, should the March 9 vote fail, unionists will undoubtedly seek to shift blame to Sinn Fein for their inability to compromise on education. Sinn Fein and the DUP have met with Empey numerous times in recent days to discuss ways forward, although no agreement has yet been reached. A senior DUP official has indicated that Empey's requests so far are not feasible.

Sid March 15, 2010 Op-Ed Columnist Taking On China By PAUL KRUGMAN Tensions are rising over Chinese economic policy, and rightly so: China's policy of keeping its currency, the renminbi, undervalued has become a significant drag on global economic recovery. Something must be done. To give you a sense of the problem: Widespread complaints that China was manipulating its currency — selling renminbi and buying foreign currencies, so as to keep the renminbi weak and China's exports artificially competitive — began around 2003. At that point China was adding about $10 billion a month to its reserves, and in 2003 it ran an overall surplus on its current account — a broad measure of the trade balance — of $46 billion. Today, China is adding more than $30 billion a month to its $2.4 trillion hoard of reserves. The International Monetary Fund expects China to have a 2010 current surplus of more than $450 billion — 10 times the 2003 figure. This is the most distortionary exchange rate policy any major nation has ever followed. And it's a policy that seriously damages the rest of the world. Most of the world's large economies are stuck in a liquidity trap — deeply depressed, but unable to generate a recovery by cutting interest rates because the relevant rates are already near zero. China, by engineering an unwarranted trade surplus, is in effect imposing an anti-stimulus on these economies, which they can't offset. So how should we respond? First of all, the U.S. Treasury Department must stop fudging and obfuscating. Twice a year, by law, Treasury must issue a report identifying nations that "manipulate the rate of exchange between their currency and the United States dollar for purposes of preventing effective balance of payments adjustments or gaining unfair competitive advantage in international trade." The law's intent is clear: the report should be a factual determination, not a policy statement. In practice, however, Treasury has been both unwilling to take action on the renminbi and unwilling to do what the law requires, namely explain to Congress why it isn't taking action. Instead, it has spent the past six or seven years pretending not to see the obvious. Will the next report, due April 15, continue this tradition? Stay tuned. If Treasury does find Chinese currency manipulation, then what? Here, we have to get past a common misunderstanding: the view that the Chinese have us over a barrel, because we don't dare provoke China into dumping its dollar assets. What you have to ask is, What would happen if China tried to sell a large share of its U.S. assets? Would interest rates soar? Short-term U.S. interest rates wouldn't change: they're being kept near zero by the Fed, which won't raise rates until the unemployment rate comes down. Long-term rates might rise slightly, but they're mainly determined by market expectations of future short-term rates. Also, the Fed could offset any interest-rate impact of a Chinese pullback by expanding its own purchases of long-term bonds. It's true that if China dumped its U.S. assets the value of the dollar would fall against other major currencies, such as the euro. But that would be a good thing for the United States, since it would make our goods more competitive and reduce our trade deficit. On the other hand, it would be a bad thing for China, which would suffer large losses on its dollar holdings. In short, right now America has China over a barrel, not the other way around. So we have no reason to fear China. But what should we do? Some still argue that we must reason gently with China, not confront it. But we've been reasoning with China for years, as its surplus ballooned, and gotten nowhere: on Sunday Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister, declared — absurdly — that his nation's currency is not undervalued. (The Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates that the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767994 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767994 Date: 08/31/2015 renminbi is undervalued by between 20 and 40 percent.) And Mr. Wen accused other nations of doing what China actually does, seeking to weaken their currencies "just for the purposes of increasing their own exports." But if sweet reason won't work, what's the alternative? In 1971 the United States dealt with a similar but much less severe problem of foreign undervaluation by imposing a temporary 10 percent surcharge on imports, which was removed a few months later after Germany, Japan and other nations raised the dollar value of their currencies. At this point, it's hard to see China changing its policies unless faced with the threat of similar action — except that this time the surcharge would have to be much larger, say 25 percent. I don't propose this turn to policy hardball lightly. But Chinese currency policy is adding materially to the world's economic problems at a time when those problems are already very severe. It's time to take a stand.

The Embassy human rights officer sent the Department a first draft of this report late last year. It normally would have gone through two or three more versions with input from DRL and ultimately clearance by the Embassy Front Office. Because our Human Rights officer (Kathey-Lee Galvin) was seriously injured in the quake, DRL took it upon themselves to finish the report. The final draft was never sent to us for clearance/comments and I don't know who all in the Department cleared off on it.

Here's one small but frank thing: Axelrod should not be a foreign policy spokesman on any issue or area. He has badly exacerbated this one. Many people in the press feel he's out of his lane and resent being lectured by him on foreq..3n policy. Foreign Policy magazine website has run a piece on this, reflecting widespread sentiment.

Yossi Klein Halevi March 16, 2010 17:13 pm JERUSALEM—Suddenly, my city feels again like a war zone..Since the suicide bombings ended in 2005, life in Jerusalem has been for the most part relatively calm. The worst disruptions have been the traffic jams resulting from construction of a light rail. jUst like in a normal city. But navy, again, there are clusters of helmeted border nOtiCe near the gates of the Old City. black smoke from burning tires in the Arab village across from my porch, young men marching with green Islamist flags toward my neighborhood, ambulances parked at strategic places ready for this city's ultimate nightmare. The return of menace to Jerusalem is not because a mid-level bureaucrat announced stage four of a seven-stage process in the eventual construction oft,600 apartments in Ramat Shiomo. a Jewish neighborhood in northeast Jerusalem. Such announcements and building projects have become so routine over the years that Paestinians have scarcely responded, let alone violently. In negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis, the permanence of Ramat Shiomo, and other Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, has been a given. Ramat Shlomo, located between the Jewish neighborhoods of French Hill and Rarrot, will remain within the boundaries of Israeli Jerusalem accord ng to every peace plan. Unlike the buliding in the established Snail Jewish enclaves inserted into Arab neighbochoocis, on which Israelis are strongly Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem defines the national consensus. Why, then, the outbreak of violence now? Why Harness "day of rage" over Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority's call to gather on the Temple Mount to "save" the Dome of the Rock from non-existent plans to build the Third Temple? Why UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768020 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768020 Date: 08/31/2015 the sudden outrage over rebuilding a synagogue, destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948, in the Old City's Jewish Quarter, when dozens of synagogues and yeshivas have been built in the quarter without incident? The answer lies not in Jerusalem but in Washington. By placing the issue of building in Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem at the center of the peace process, President Obama has inadvertently challenged the Palestinians to do no less. Astonishingly. Obama is repeating the key tactical mistake of his failed efforts to restart Middle East peace talks over the last year. Though Oben-la's insistence on a settlement freeze to help restart negotiations was legitimate, he went a step too far by including building in East Jerusalem. Every Israeli government over the last four decades has built in the Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem; no government, let alone one headed by the Likud, could possibly agree to a freeze there. Obama made resumption of negotiations hostage to a demand that could not be met. The result was that Palestinian leaders were forced to adjust their demands accordingly. Obama is directly responsible for one of the most absurd turns in the history of Middle East negotiations. Though Palestinian leaders negotiated with Israeli governments that built extensively in the West Bank, they now refused to sit down with the first Israeli government to actually agree to a suspension of building. Obama's demand for a building freeze in Jerusalem led to a freeze in negotiations. Finally, after intensive efforts, the administration produced the pathetic achievement of "proximity talks"—setting Palestinian-Israeli negotiations back a generation, to the time when Palestinian leaders refused to sit at the same table with Israelis. That Obama could be guilty of such amateurishness was perhaps forgivable because he was, after ail, an amateur. But he has now taken his failed policy and intensified it. By demanding that Israel stop building in Ramat Shlomo and elsewhere in East Jerusalem—and placing that demand at the center of American-Israeli relations—he's ensured that the Palestinians won't show up even to proximity talks. This is no longer amateurishness; it is pique disguised as policy. Initially, when the announcement about building in Ramat Shlomo was made, Israelis shared Vice President Biden's humiliation and were outraged at their government's incompetence. The widespread sense here was that Netanyahu deserved the administration's condemnation, not because of what he did but because of what he didn't do: He failed to convey to all parts of his government the need for caution during Biden's visit, symptomatic of his chaotic style of governing generally. But not even the opposition accused Netanyahu of a deliberate provocation. These are not the days of Yitzhak Shamir, the former Israeli prime minister who used to greet a visit from Secretary of State James Baker with an announcement of the creation of another West Bank settlement. Netanyahu has placed the need for strategic cooperation with the U.S. on the Iranian threat ahead of the right-wing political agenda. That's why he included the Labor Party into his coalition, and why he accepted a two-state solution—an historic achievement that set the Likud, however reluctantly, within the mainstream consensus supporting Palestinian statehood. The last thing Netanyahu wanted was to embarrass Biden during his goodwill visit and trigger a clash with Obama over an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood. Nor is it likely that there was a deliberate provocation from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, which runs the interior ministry that oversees building procedures. Shas, which supports peace talks and territorial compromise, is not a nationalist party. Its interest is providing housing for its constituents, like the future residents of Ramat Shlomo; provoking international incidents is not its style. Finally, the very ordinariness of the building procedure—the fact that construction in Jewish East Jerusalem is considered by Israelis routine—is perhaps the best proof that there was no intentional ambush of Biden. Apparently no one in the interior ministry could imagine that a long-term plan over Ramat Shiomo would sabotage a state visit. In turning an incident into a crisis, Obama has convinced many Israelis that he was merely seeking, a pretext to pick a fight with Israel. Netanyahu was inadvertently shabby; Obama, deliberately so. Ac.t,cording to a banner headline in the newspaper Ma'ariv, senior Likud officials believe that Obama's goal is to topple the Netanyahu government, by encouraging those in the Labor Party who want to quit the coalition. The popular assumption is that Obama is seeking to prove his resolve as a leader by getting tough with Israel. Given his ineffectiveness against Iran and his tendency to violate his own self-imposed deadlines for sanctions, the Israeli public is not likely to be impressed. Indeed, Israelis' initial anger at Netanyahu has turned to anger against Obama. According to an Israel Radio poll on March 16, 62 percent of Israelis blame the Obama administration for the crisis, while 20 percent blame Netanyahu. (Another 17 percent blame Shas leader Eli Yishai.) • In the last year, the administration has not once publicly condemned the Palestinians for lack of good faith—even though the Palestinian Authority media has, for example, been waging a months-long campaign denying the Jews' historic roots in Jerusalem. Just after Biden left Ramailah, Palestinian officials held a ceremony naming a square in the city after a terrorist responsible for the massacre of 38 Israeli civilians. That too didn't merit an administration rebuke. Obama's one-sided public pressure against Israel could intensify the atmosphere of "open season" against Israel internationally. Indeed, the European Union has reaffirmed it is linking improved economic relations with Israel to the resumption of the peace process—as if it's Israel rather than the Palestinians that has refused to come to the table. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768020 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768020 Date: 08/31/2015 If the administration's main tactical error in Middle East negotiating was emphasizing building in Jerusalem, its main strategic error was assuming that a two-state solution was within easy reach. Shortly after Obama took office, Rehm Emanuel vvas quoted in the Israeli press insisting that a Palestinian state would be created within Obama's first tent. instead, a year later, we are in the era of suspended proximity talks. Now the administration is demanding that Israel negotiate over final status issues in proximity talks as a way of convincing the Palestinians to agree to those talks--as if Israelis would agree to discuss the future of Jerusalem when Palestinian leaders refuse to even sit with them. To insist on the imminent possibility of a two-state solution requires amnesia. Biden's plea to Israelis to consider a withdrawal to an approximation of the 1967 borders in exchange for peace ignored the fact that Israel made that offer twice in the last decade: first, when Prime Minister Ehud Barak accepted the Clinton Proposals of December 2000, and then more recently when Prime Minister Ehud Olmert renewed the offer to Mahrnoud Abbas. Abbas, says Olmert, never replied. The reason for Palestinian rejection of a two-state solution is because a deal would require Palestinians to confine the return of the descendants of the 1948 refugees to Palestine rather than to Israel. That would prevent a two-state solution from devolving into a bi-national, one-state solution. Israel's insistence on survival remains the obstacle to peace. To achieve eventual peace, the international community needs to pressure Palestinian leaders to forgo their claim to Haifa and Jaffa and confine their people's right of return to a future Palestinian state--just as the Jews will need to forgo their claim to Hebron and Bethlehem and confine their people's right of return to the state of Israel. That is the only possible deal: conceding my right of return to Greater Israel in exchange for your right of return to Greater Palestine. A majority of Israelis—along with the political system—has accepted that principle. On the Palestinian side, the political system has rejected it. In the absence of Palestinian willingness to compromise on the right of return, negotiations should not focus on a twostate solution but on more limited goals. There have been positive signs of change on the Palestinian side in the last few years. The rise of Hamas has created panic within Fatah, and the result is, for the first time, genuine security cooperation with Israel. Also, the emergence of Salem Fayyad as Palestinian prime minister marks a shift from ideological to pragmatic leadership (though Fayyad still lacks a power base). Finally, the West Bank economy is growing, thanks in part to Israel's removal of dozens of roadblocks. The goal of negotiations at this point in the conflict should be to encourage those trends. But by focusing on building in Jerusalem, Obama has undermined that possibility too. To the fictitious notion of a peace process, Obama has now added the fiction of an intransigent Israel blocking the peace process. The administration, according to a report in the Israeli ne\Aispaper Yedito Aharonot, is making an even more insidious accusation against Israel. During his visit, wrote Yediot Aharanot, Bicien told Israeli leaders that their policies are endangering American lives in Afghanistan and Iraq. The report has been denied in the White House. Whether or not the remark was made, what is clear today in Jerusalem is that Obama's recklessness is endangering Israeli--and Palestinian-lives. As I listen to police sirens outside my window, Obama's political Intifada against Netanyahu seems to be turning into a third intifada over Jerusalem.

And to thank you for accommodating so quickly my inchoate and sleep-deprived requests yesterday morning for the changes to the format of what was projected.

You have massively raised the bar for future donors' conference on how pledge data should be tracked and shared. Here are some of the "firsts" that you should be proud of (based at least on my experience in 8 major donors' conferences so far): First to gather written pledges from all donors - First to project individual pledges in real time at the conference - First to release individual pledges to the world public and media on the same day as the conference In addition to these, the work that you put into scrubbing the pledges — with the rigor and integrity of development professionals — ensured that the pledge figures were more meaningful and accurate than for most other pledging conferences (another possible first).

Not bad. http: I /www.economist.com/world/international/displavstorv.cfm?story id=15833005 Religion and human rights The limits of freedom and faith Mar 31st 2010 From The Economist print edition Opponents of a bid by Muslim states to "protect religion" claim a small success How dare you call us blasphemers? IT DOES not happen often: Christian lobbyists, the sort who favour prayer in American classrooms and crucifixes in Italian ones, lining up on the same side as secularists who battle to curb religion's role in the public square. But in both those camps there has been some quiet satisfaction after a recent vote at the United Nations. Not over the outcome, but over the slim margin of defeat. On March 25th the Human Rights Council (HRC), a Geneva-based UN agency which often exasperates its Western members, voted by 20 votes to 17, with eight abstentions, for a text that lists the "defamation of religion" as an infringement of liberty. Nothing amazing there: the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which groups 56 mainly Muslim states (plus Palestine), has been working to push resolutions of that kind through the General Assembly and other UN bodies since 2005. But the margin was the smallest ever, and opponents think there could be a good chance of defeating a "defamation" motion next time one comes around. The OIC's idea is to establish the principle that faiths need protection, just as individuals do. It denies any sinister intention (see article). And to some ears, the OIC's effort sounds like harmless UN-speak, but nothing more. (The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, a congressionally mandated body, has noted a logical flaw: defamation means harming the reputation of a living person or entity: that implies that one can't defame an idea or a religious founder who is no longer, at least physically, alive on earth.) But critics of the OIC campaign, who include atheists, Christians and indeed some Muslims, say the "defamation" idea is worse than hot air: far from protecting human rights, it emboldens countries that use blasphemy laws to criminalise dissent. What encourages these critics is that more countries seem to be coming around to their view. Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, Zambia and South Korea voted against the latest resolution. Brazil criticised the text but abstained. Deeper still inside the UN's bureaucracy, another battle over religion rages—and the stakes could be even higher. An "ad hoc committee" is mulling ways to amend or extend the UN convention on racial discrimination. Certain states want language that would fuse the categories of race and faith; some want a new convention, or a protocol to the existing one. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768055 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768055 Date: 08/31/2015 For secularists (in the broad sense of people, including believers, who oppose the idea of faith having privileged access to power), all this is alarming. Non-binding resolutions against defamation are bad enough; a UN treaty on race-plus-religion would have legal force, at least for its signatories, and give heart to theocrats. At the HRC's latest discussion of this effort in March, the Algerian who oversees the project was keen to plough ahead. But countries like Switzerland, Japan, Mexico, Argentina and France retorted that it would be better to enforce the existing UN norms than dream up new ones. Efforts to widen the racism accord will resume, with a new chairman, late this year—but critics are relieved to have stalled it. Still, would-be theocrats may now focus harder on adding to the racism charter, because they face a real risk of being defeated over defamation, in the view of Roy Brown, Geneva spokesman for the International Humanist and Ethical Union. Meanwhile a Christian-inspired NGO, the European Centre for Law and Justice, has been denouncing the abuse of blasphemy laws in many OIC member states. How fair is their point? It is an easy case to make, for example, over Pakistan. Some 41 complaints of blasphemy were registered by police in Pakistan last year, says that country's independent Human Rights Commission. In theory, blasphemy is punishable by death—a penalty that has been handed down but never carried out. Worst-hit by the law are minorities like Christians and Ahmadis, a group whose claim to be Muslim is rejected by the Pakistani state. Although abuse of the law is less rife now than in the 1980s, when an Islamist general tightened up the rules, the law is still invoked in disputes (over property, say) that have nothing to do with faith. "The most vulnerable people, that is religious minorities, continue to be charged with blasphemy," said Ali Dayan Hasan, a researcher at Human Rights Watch, a campaign group. "But are people convicted? No. Rarely. It is used as an instrument of political and social coercion." When convictions occur, they lead to long jail terms; and pre-trial detention can last for years. Pakistan's parliament is revising the constitution but it has left intact the religious bits, despite a vow by the ruling party to review the blasphemy laws. (Indonesia too has stepped back from a move to liberalise its blasphemy regime.) On Pakistani streets, the law has dire effects. In January 2009, in a village in Punjab province, five Ahmadis, a labourer and four children, were charged with blasphemy. They had supposedly written "Prophet Muhammad" on the wall of a mosque toilet. The children were behind bars for nearly six months till the charge was quashed. And last September a young Pakistani Christian was accused of throwing part of the Koran down a drain. It seems that his real crime, however, was affection for a Muslim woman. A mob torched a church, and many Christians had to flee. He was taken to jail, where he died a few days later. His family alleged torture; the authorities claimed suicide. There was mayhem at the funeral and the country's Christians (see picture) were appalled. In some places, it is not the "defamation" of faith that threatens rights but measures that supposedly defend it.

UUP leader Sir Reg Empey continues to withhold his support for the Hillsborough Agreement, citing complaints about the functioning of the Executive and demanding movement on educational reform; an outcome that would benefit him electorally. Even though a UUP "yes" is not required for the vote to pass, Robinson has said that Empey's support is an essential component of "community confidence" in the deal, and that a "no" vote by the UUP on March 9 would prompt him to resign as First Minister, force new elections to seek a unionist mandate for devolution. Such an outcome would effectively scuttle the Hillsborough Agreement and severely harm both local and international confidence in Northern Ireland's political institutions. Robinson feels strongly that the DUP would "hammer" the UUP in an Assembly election, while we understand that the UUP has done polling which would indicate significant gains for them against a scandal-ridden and weakened DUP. Sinn Fein feels both parties are miscalculating. Empey's focus on getting some concession on education to "save" the Hillsborough Agreement focuses pressure on education ministerial portfolio-holder Sinn Fein; Robinson and the DUP have refused to discuss the impasse on education. However, should Robinson resign forcing early Assembly elections, both the DUP and UUP will undoubtedly seek to shift blame to Sinn Fein for their inability to compromise on this issue. Sinn Fein and the DUP have met with Empey numerous times in recent days to discuss ways forward, although no agreement has yet been reached. Regardless of Empey's behavior, Robinson, who is still exhibiting signs of weak leadership within his party, still holds the key to the March 9 outcome.

Also, I've included an article by Max Blumenthal, who spends his time on this issue and plans to move to Israel for about 6-8 months to write a book.

Michael Mullen on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The team had been dispatched by CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus to underline his growing worries at the lack of progress in resolving the issue. The 33slide, 45-minute PowerPoint briefing stunned Mullen. The briefers reported that there was a growing perception among Arab leaders that the U.S. was incapable of standing up to Israel, that CENTCOM's mostly Arab constituency was losing UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768064 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768064 Date: 08/31/2015 faith in American promises, that Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardizing U.S. standing in the region, and that Mitchell himself was (as a senior Pentagon officer later bluntly described it) "too old, too slow ... and too late." The January Mullen briefing was unprecedented. No previous CENTCOM commander had ever expressed himself on what is essentially a political issue; which is why the briefers were careful to tell Mullen that their conclusions followed from a December 2009 tour of the region where, on Petraeus's instructions, they spoke to senior Arab leaders. "Everywhere they went, the message was pretty humbling,' a Pentagon officer familiar with the briefing says. "America was not only viewed as weak, but its military posture in the region was eroding." But Petraeus wasn't finished: two days after the Mullen briefing, Petraeus sent a paper to the White House requesting that the West Bank and Gaza (which, with Israel, is a part of the European Command -- or EUCOM), be made a part of his area of operations. Petraeus's reason was straightforward: with U.S. troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. military had to be perceived by Arab leaders as engaged in the region's most troublesome conflict. [UPDATE: A senior military officer denied Sunday that Petraeus sent a paper to the White House. "CENTCOM did have a team brief the CJCS on concerns revolving around the Palestinian issue, and CENTCOM did propose a UCP change, but to CJCS, not to the WH," the officer said via email. "GEN Petraeus was not certain what might have been conveyed to the WH (if anything) from that brief to CJCS." (UCP means "unified combatant command," like CENTCOM; CJCS refers to Mullen; and WH is the White House.)] The Mullen briefing and Petraeus's request hit the White House like a bombshell. While Petraeus's request that CENTCOM be expanded to include the Palestinians was denied ("it was dead on arrival," a Pentagon officer confirms), the Obama administration decided it would redouble its efforts pressing Israel once again on the settlements issue, sending Mitchell on a visit to a number of Arab capitals and dispatching Mullen for a carefully arranged meeting with the chief of the Israeli General Staff, Lt. General Gabi Ashkenazi. While the American press speculated that Mullen's trip focused on Iran, the JCS Chairman actually carried a blunt, and tough; message on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: that Israel had to see its conflict with the Palestinians "in a larger, regional, context" -- as having a direct impact on America's status in the region. Certainly, it was thought, Israel would get the message. Israel didn't. When Vice President Joe Biden was embarrassed by an Israeli announcement that the Netanyahu government was building 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem, the administration reacted. But no one was more outraged than Biden who, according to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, engaged in a private, and angry, exchange with the Israeli Prime Minister Not surprisingly, what Biden told Netanyahu reflected the importance the administration attached to Petraeus's Mullen briefing: "This is starting to get dangerous for us," Biden reportedly told Netanyahu. "What you're doing here undermines the security of our troops who are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. That endangers us and it endangers regional peace." Yedioth Ahronoth went on to report: "The vice president told his Israeli hosts that since many people in the Muslim world perceived a connection between Israel's actions and US policy, any decision about construction that undermines Palestinian rights in East Jerusalem could have an impact on the personal safety of American troops fighting against Islamic terrorism." The message couldn't be plainer: Israel's intransigence could cost American lives. There are important and powerful lobbies in America: the NRA, the American Medical Association, the lawyers -- and the Israeli lobby. But no lobby is as important, or as powerful, as the U.S. military. While commentators and pundits might reflect that Joe Biden's trip to Israel has forever shifted America's relationship with its erstwhile ally in the region, the real break came in January, when David Petraeus sent a briefing team to the Pentagon with a stark warning: America's relationship with Israel is important, but not as important as the lives of America's soldiers. Maybe Israel gets the message now. Mark Perry's newest book is Talking To Terrorists http://warincontext.org/2010/03/14/israel-is-putting-american-lives-at-risk/ My piece on the briefing of Admiral Mullen by CENTCOM senior officers has occasioned a great deal of comment, as well as some skepticism: how accurate is the account? Was it told to me by direct participants in the briefing? Is there any basis for imagining that Petraeus has any kind of hidden agenda, whether that is a desire to expand CENTCOM — or even hostility towards Israel. I won't name my sources, even though it's clear to people in the Pentagon — and certainly to General Petraeus — who they are. Was I told of the briefing by the briefers themselves? I will only say that there were four people in the briefing UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768064 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768064 Date: 08/31/2015 —the two briefers, Admiral Mullen, and Admiral Mullen's primary adviser on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I know two of the people involved in the briefing. Whether or not they are my sources is something for the reader to determine. The account is not only accurate, it's a precis of what actually happened. There is a lot more to it. The White House, State Department and Pentagon have not denied the account, and for good reason: it's true. Is there any basis for imagining that Petraeus has any kind of hidden agenda in ordering the briefing? I have been reporting on the American military for thirty years. My work on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Four Stars , is the authoritative account on the subject. I have deeply rooted contacts in the military that go back thirty years. I have never met a senior military officer whom I do not admire. There is no greater insult than to believe that General Petraeus or any other senior American military officer would use the lives of American soldiers as a lever to enhance their own political future. My sense is that General Petraeus neither likes nor dislikes Israel: but he loves his country and he wants to protect our soldiers. The current crisis in American relations with Israel is not a litmus test of General Petraeus's loyalty to Israel, but of his, and our, concern for those Americans in uniform in the Middle East. It is, perhaps, a sign of the depth of "the Biden crisis" that every controversy of this type seems to get translated into whether or not America and its leaders are committed to Israel's security. This isn't about Israel's security, it's about our security. http://maxblumenthal.com/2010/03/pastor-hagee-and-netanyahus-lovefest-on-eve-of-bidens-arrival-in-israel/ Netanyahu and Pastor Hagee's Lovefest on Eve of Biden's Arrival in Israel On 03.09.10, By Max (Videos recorded by Rachel Tabachnick ; more videos coming shortly.) Vice President Joe Biden was greeted in Jerusalem with the announcement that the Israeli Interior Ministry approved the construction of 1600 new homes in Occupied East Jerusalem contrary to U.S. wishes and complicating Biden's mission to help jump start the peace process. But Biden should have known that Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu intended to upset his plans by Netanyahu's appearance with John Hagee. The day after a series of talks between US Special Envoy for the Middle East George Mitchell and Netanyahu, and a day before Biden's arrival, Netanyahu appeared onstage with Pastor John Hagee in Jerusalem. The occasion was Hagee's Night To Honor Israel, an event the far-right Texas-based preacher arranged to tout his ministry's millions in donations to Israeli organizations and to level bellicose rhetoric against Israel's perceived enemies. At the gathering, Hagee called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "the Hitler of the Middle East" and denounced the Goldstone Report as "character assassination by an unbiased and uninformed committee." Netanyahu welcomed the crowd of 1000 American evangelicals to Jerusalem, a city he described as "the undivided, eternal capitol of the Jewish people. Then, he told them, "I salute you! The Jewish people salute you!" He used the rest of his speech to call for "tough, biting sanctions" against Iran that "bite deep into its energy sector." Hagee and Netanyahu appear together on stage: In the audience were top-level members of the Israeli government, from Ambassador Michael Oren to Jerusalem Mayor 'Mr Barkat to Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon. Also present was Rabbi Shlorno Riskin, the chief rabbi of the illegal West Bank settlement of Efrat who gained notoriety for lobbying President Bill Clinton to pardon his friend, fugitive billionaire Marc Rich. Ayalon had stirred controversy days before when he refused to meet with a US congressional delegation brought to Israel by the progressive Jewish group J Street.

The recipients included Jewish settlements from the West Bank like Gush Etzion and Shomron, which was involved in promoting an "Obama Hilltop project" that promoted more settlement building and compared Obama to Pharoah. Hagee also announced funding for a pressure group run by the settlers evacuated from Gush Katif in Gaza in 2005. During Israel's assault on Gaza in 2009, a group of Gush Katif residents lobbied the Israel government to allow them to resettle the Palestinian coastal region. Who is Hagee funding in Israel? Who Is Hagee Funding In Israel? from Max Blumenthal on Vimeo . The most notable of Hagee's funding recipients was an organization called Im Tirtzu. A student representative of this group appeared in the film to thank Hagee for "help[ing] us to ensure that students in Israel are on the right path, the path of Zionism, the love of Israel, the path of solidarity." Another student called for "the second revolution in Israel." In February, Im Tirtzu funding a smear campaign against former Knesset member and New Israel Fund Director Naomi Chazan that included posters caricaturing her with a horn on her head. The group misleadingly accused the New Israel Fund of bankrolling 16 human rights organizations that contributed documentation to the Goldstone Report. The smear campaign led to unsuccessful legislation in the Knesset designed to further cripple already marginalized Israeli human rights groups. Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post fired Chazan as a columnist without explanation. Gideon Levy, a columnist for Ha'aretz, called Irn Tirtzu "a McCarthyite movement" for its attacks on Chazan. Although CUR attempted to distance itself from Im Tirtzu's campaign, the organization's appearance during CUR's Jerusalem ceremony suggested that Hagee would continue to provide it with funding well into the future. Republican Senator John McCain repudiated the endorsement of Hagee during his 2008 presidential campaign after Hagee's statements describing the Holocaust as a fulfillment of divine prophecy came to light. Hagee has also said that he believed the anti-Christ was "partially Jewish, as was Adolph Hitler." However, none of Hagee's comments have deterred Israeli government officials from embracing him or accepting his millions in annual charity. During Hagee's speech, he made no secret of his support for the illegal settlement enterprise that has been the source of difficulties between the US and Israel. "The settlements are not the problem," he boomed from the podium. "The problem is the refusal of Arab leaders to respect the right of Jewish people to live anywhere in the Middle East." Hagee received a rousing ovation from the crowd and the Israeli government officials seated beside the podium when he proclaimed, "World leaders do not have the authority to tell Israel and the Jewish people what they can and cannot do in the city of Jerusalem. They don't have the authority to tell them what they can and cannot build, who can and and cannot live there." The following day, on March 9, Vice President Joseph Biden arrived in Israel to meet with Netanyahu and officials from the Palestinian Authority. He told reporters after touching down that he saw "a moment of real opportunity."

All major English and Urdu language networks carried live the Secretary and Foreign Minister Qureshi's remarks at the opening session. On Thursday morning, nearly all television networks led with coverage of the joint press availability. All major English and Urdu language dailies featured the talks on their front pages, highlighting the Secretary's announcement of $125 million in aid to Pakistan's energy sector. Reporting was straight-forward with favorable headlines: Dawn—"U.S, Pakistan pledge to boost and broaden ties" and "U.S. to provide $125m for energy, power plants"; The News—"US vows to boost energy, defence, trade ties"; Nawa-i-Waqt—"U.S. will neither abandon nor dictate to Pakistan"; The Nation—"New day' for US, Pakistan: Hillary." Media highlighted the positive shift in U.S.-Pakistan relations, echoing Secretary Clinton's statement that the talks are the beginning of a new chapter. Reports also focused on the question of nuclear cooperation and U.S. engagement in the Kashmir dispute; however the U.S. position on these issues had been widely reported by the media prior to the Dialogue. The Nation published an editorial, entitled "Negative starting note," UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768065 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768065 Date: 08/31/2015 criticizing the talks before they began.

UUP leader Sir Reg Empey is threatening to withhold his support for the Hillsborough Agreement vote in the assembly on March 9, citing complaints about the functioning of the Executive and demanding movement on educational reform. Sinn Fein and the DUP are currently mulling his demands, and Sinn Fein might be willing to offer talks on the post-primary education sector (as it did two years ago, according to McGuinness) as a face-saving measure for Empey. This may be too little for Empey. Even though a UUP "yes" is not required for the crosscommunity vote to pass, First Minister Peter Robinson has said that Empey's support is an essential component of "community confidence" in the deal, and that a "no" vote by the UUP on March 9 would prompt him to resign as First Minister, force new elections to seek a unionist mandate for devolution. Such an outcome would effectively scuttle the Hillsborough Agreement and severely harm both local and international confidence in Northern Ireland's political institutions. Robinson feels strongly that the DUP would "hammer" the UUP in an Assembly election, while we understand that the UUP has done polling which would indicate significant gains for them against a scandal-ridden and weakened DUP. McGuinness feels both parties are badly miscalculating. Sinn Fein and the DUP have met with Empey repeatedly in recent days to discuss ways forward, although no agreement has yet been reached. McGuinness has told us that regardless of Empey's behavior, Robinson still holds the key to the March 9 outcome and should come under the most pressure to allow the vote to go to the floor, with or without UUP concurrence. Having all patties except the UUP vote in favor of devolution will leave Empey and the UUP isolated, and Sinn Fein is trying to convince its DUP partner in government of such.

All major English and Urdu language networks carried live the Secretary and Foreign Minister Qureshi's remarks at the opening session. On Thursday morning, nearly all television networks led with coverage of the joint press availability. All major English and Urdu language dailies featured the talks on their front pages, highlighting the Secretary's announcement of $125 million in aid to Pakistan's energy sector. Reporting was straight-forward with favorable headlines: Dawn—"U.S, Pakistan pledge to boost and broaden ties" and "U.S. to provide $125m for energy, power plants"; The News—"US vows to boost energy, defence, trade ties"; Nawa-i-Waqt—"U.S. will neither abandon nor dictate to Pakistan"; The Nation—"New day' for US, Pakistan: Hillary." Media highlighted the positive shift in U.S.-Pakistan relations, echoing Secretary Clinton's statement that the talks are the beginning of a new chapter. Reports also focused on the question of nuclear cooperation and U.S. engagement in the Kashmir dispute; however the U.S. position on these issues had been widely reported by the media prior to the Dialogue. The Nation published an editorial, entitled "Negative starting note," criticizing the talks before they began. The daily stated that "promises will be made on some issues, including on nuclear cooperation, which will not see fruition." Other editorials stressed the need for a sustained commitment on both sides, beyond March 24, to produce results: Dawn – "Prospects for Pak-US ties," and Daily Times—"Pak-US Strategic Dialogue."

Sid Gordon is going to call the election tomorrow for May 6. I'm going to go over for that week. Sid Labour c.uIi win most seats at eneral election, poll shows Guardian/ICM poll reveals gap between two main parties at four points — the closest in an ICM poll for almost two years • • • Julian Glover aardian.co.uk, Monday 5 April 2010 19.02 BST Article history Lbr still has a fighting chance of winning the most seats in the general election, according to a Guardian/1CM poll published today. The findings suggest Tory hopes of a defining breakthrough have been overplayed, with the gap between the two main parties now at just four points — the closest in an 1CM poll for almost two years. Labour support has climbed four points to 33% since an ICM poll carried out for the Guardian last week. Conservative backing has dropped one since then to 37% — Labour's best ICM rating since December 2008 and the Tories' worst since February. On a uniform national swing, these figures could leave Labour 30 seats short of an overall majority. Even if the Tories perform better than average in marginal seats — as most people expect — David Cameron would struggle to establish a secure parliamentary basis for power. Either party could be left dependent on the fiber:a) Democrats, who are on 21% in the poll — down two from last week. Despite that decline, the Lib Dems will be pleased by the strength of their position going into the election. The party has been at or above 20% in seven of this year's 11 ICM polls. Meanwhile support for other parties, which peaked last spring in the European elections, has fallen again to just 9%. At the start of an election campaign likely to see more polling than ever before in British politics, today's figures will be treated with caution unless confirmed by other surveys. Some polls late last week suggested the Conservative lead had grown rather than shrunk, and research may have been affected by the Easter holidays, when some voters would have been away from home. Yet the results suggest that Labour's chances should not be written off, and events such as the leaders' debates could prove decisive in the coming weeks. Today's poll suggests 60% of people are planning to watch at least one debate, with 29% saying they plan to watch all three. Only 39% of voters said they would not watch any of them. The ICM survey also asked voters whether they might switch away from their first choice party and, if so; who they might back instead. Labour and Tory support is now equally solid. Overall, 71% of Labour supporters say they will definitely back Labour while 71% of Tories also say they will stick with their first choice party. Lib Dems, however, are less loyal — only 52% are sure they will end up giving Nick Clegg their vote. That leaves just over a quarter of each main party's supporters considering backing another party.

The ICM figures suggest the maximum potential vote for Labour and the Conservatives — all their definite supporters, plus all potential switchers — is running neck and neck at 42%. The Lib Dem maximum is 28%. Realistically, Labour is unlikely to beat its 2005 share of 36% and even today's poll suggesting it has shed only three points since then will surprise many. Nonetheless, there is all to play for as the contest begins now. • ICM Research interviewed a random sample of 1,001 adults aged 18 and over by telephone on 1-3 April 2010.

I know this is a very difficult time for everyone at the Mission and our thoughts are with all of you. I had a good conversation with Jim Williams about the strategic communications initiative and I wanted to bring you up to speed on our thinking and where things stand with Keith. Based on our discussions and the excellent paper that Jim prepared I think there are several critical areas that we need to address: • • • • • • Work with our counterparts in the Mexican government to help them develop their capacity to handle the communications aspects of the drug initiative more effectively Develop a process for ensuring the GOM and USG have clear, coordinated and consistent messaging on all aspects of the initiative Increase public awareness in Mexico about "Merida" ; based on a report I got from INR last week there is very little awareness or understanding of the program in Mexico and the contributions of USG Work with GOM to develop an on-going and effective communications strategy at all levels to provide people across the country with information that is directly relevant to them and which they need to navigate their way through this crisis. For example, what is going on in their community; what are local authorities doing; what programs are available in their schools; what can they do, etc. I have increasingly come to believe that the lack of this sort of "personally relevant" information at a time of crisis increases public anxiety and contributes to the overall sense of things being out of control. We have begun to focus on this issue and have worked both in Haiti and last year in Pakistan to provide people with a steady stream of information they can use. We are using a wide array of communications tools to deliver these messages that allows the information to be delivered in a very granular ,local, personal way. The other benefit of this approach is that it helps balance the steady stream of gruesome news being put out by traditional media. Work with private sector in both Mexico and US to develop broad based PSA campaign to increase awareness of the initiative and maintain public support for the effort Increase awareness in Mexico of USG efforts to combat drug use in US Keith has reached out to a number of his associates at BDA and unfortunately he has met with some resistance to BDA taking this project on. The personal safety issue seems to be the biggest concern. I do believe we will be able to overcome this to some degree and I have some ideas which we can discuss when we next speak. In the meantime I have reached out to Pat Mitchell of the Paley Center and she believes she will be able to help engage the US private sector once we have a plan of action in place. Finally, with regard to next week's trip by S, Jim feels it might be better for me to come to Mexico sometime in late April rather than have it as part of next week's agenda. I am happy to do whatever works best for you. Keith is also prepared to come next week or in April. Just let us know.

LONDON (AP) - President Barack Obama's planned nuclear summit in Washington next week will go on without Britain's leader. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told Obama he'll be staying in London to concentrate on a hotly contested May election. Brown told Obama in a phone call that he will send Foreign Secretary David Miliband to represent Britain at the April 12-13 meeting. Obama is hosting dozens of world leaders to discuss the spread of atomic weapons and the threat of nuclear terrorism. Brown's Labour Party is seeking a fourth term in office but the opposition Conservatives are ahead in the polls and favored to take power for the first time since 1997.

Opposition activist Shamil Murat told The Associated Press that he saw the dead body of Minister Moldomusa Kongatiyev in a government building in the western town of Talas. Murat said the protesters in Talas who seized a police headquarters on the second day of anti-government rallies beat up Kongatiyev and forced him to order his subordinates in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek to stop a crackdown on an opposition rally there. Police in Bishkek opened fire earlier April 7 on the protesters and an opposition leader said at least 17 were killed. Protesters in Bishkek also stormed the building of the state-owned television company.

He worked on volumes on South Asia, Eastern Europe, and national security policy. He regularly lectured in the Foreign Service Institute's A100 orientation course for Foreign Service Officers. In November 2009, he made a video appearance on the Department's DipNote blog, where he spoke about the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. In January 2009, he participated in an on-the-ground lessons learned project in Iraq, conducting oral history interviews on the nature of civil-military cooperation. In addition to his work at the Office of the Historian, Dr. Kraemer was a Professorial Lecturer in History at The George Washington University, where he taught a course on the political, social, and cultural techniques that create historical narratives. In years past, he taught History and American Studies at Indiana University and Indiana University-Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin; served as an editorial assistant at the Journal of American History; and worked as an oral historian at Indiana University's Oral History Research Center and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. He was an active member of a number of professional organizations, including the American Historian Association, the Organization of American Historians, the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, and the Society for History in the Federal Government. Dr. Kraemer completed his Ph.D. in History and American Studies at Indiana University in 2004, where he wrote a dissertation entitled, "Germany is Whose Problem?: American Philanthropy and the German Question, 1944-1964." He took his M.A. in History from Indiana University and his B.A. in History and German at Dickinson College.

She was instrumental in bringing FINCA to Kyrgyzstan and when you made your trip there you saw what a difference it was making to lift up women and their families. She also was her country's head of delegation to Beijing. She was foreign minister at the time and made a strong statement about gender equality and the transformative power of microcredit.

Feinstein of Embassy Warsaw. In short, the crash took the lives of many of Poland's senior civilian and military leadership; succession/transition will be the first major test of Poland's constitution. The speaker of the lower house of parliament, Bronislaw Komorowski, will temporarily assume the presidency. The constitution requires he call for presidential elections within 14 days and that elections take place within 60 days. An unofficial manifest is included. Rgds, H.

The main point is that the crash killed not only the President and his wife but a broad swath of Poland's top national security leadership. In this sense it is an unprecedented governmental tragedy, and a test of Poland's constitution. The sitrep follows. Shortly before 1000 Warsaw time, a Polish government Tu-154 plane carrying a delegation headed by Polish President Lech Kaczynski crashed in heavy fog at the airport in Smolensk, Russia. Russian officials have told the press that there were no survivors; the foreign ministry spokesman said there were 88 passengers on board. The delegation was en route to ceremonies hosted by the Russian government to commemorate the 70t1, anniversary of the Katyn massacres. There is as yet not government confirmation of the deaths, but there is no expectation of survivors. Speaker of the Polish Sejm (the lower house of parliament) Bronislaw Komorowski is en route to Warsaw to take over the powers of the presidency and those of the Commander in Chief, according to press reports. According to the Polish constitution, if the president dies in office, the Speaker temporarily assumes the presidency, and has 14 days to announce the date of special presidential elections. The elections must be held within 60 days of his announcement. This is the first major test of the Polish constitution, and the government is itself sorting out the details of the procedure in this unprecedented circumstance. Prime Minister Tusk is returning from Gdansk to Warsaw, and will chair a meeting of the Council of Ministers at 1P local time. Tusk has received condolence telephone calls from Russian Prime Minister Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and other world leaders.

She characterized it as a good call. Otunbayeva was pleased to talk, said she wants to restore democracy to Kyrgystan and have a government that is responsible to the people. She said she personally wants to have a "high reputation" as a result of her democracy efforts. MKA offered NDI's full assistance in organizing the elections Otunbayeva has pledged to hold in six months. Otunbayeva expressed her appreciation, but did not make any specific requests. Interestingly, Otunbayeva volunteered that Kyrgystan would keep Manas open. That is more forward leaning than what she told our Charge yesterday; she told him that they would need to review the Manas agreement but would keep it open pending that review. I thanked MKA for the readout and promised to pass it on to you. A memo and call sheet will be on its way shortly to the Secretary for her to call Otunbayeva tomorrow.

The United States maintains a decades-old trade embargo on the Americas' only one-party Communist regime, but President Barack Obama took office last year offering to improve ties if President Raul Castro improved human rights. Clinton however blamed Castro and his brother Fidel -- Cuba's leader from 1959 to 2008 -- for undermining Washington's bid to improve relations. Despite US efforts to "enhance cooperation," Clinton said that the Castro brothers "do not want to see an end to the embargo and do not want to see normalization with the United States because they would then lose all their excuses for what hasn't happened in Cuba in the last 50 years," Clinton said. "I find that very sad, because there should be an opportunity for a transition" to democracy in Cuba," said Clinton, who was answering a student's question during a visit to the University of Louisville in the state of Kentucky. "The people of Cuba should have democratically elected leaders and a chance to chart their own future. But unfortunately, I don't see that happening while the Castros are still in charge," the top US diplomat said. Raul Castro officially became president in 2008 after his older brother was sidelined with serious health problems. However Fidel, now 83, remains enormously influential in Cuban affairs.

"For the first time, a lot of countries that had done nothing but berate the United States for our failure to be more open to Cuba have now started criticizing Cuba because they let people die," she said. "Many in the world are now seeing what we have seen for a long time, which is a very intransigent, entrenched regime that has stifled the opportunity for the Cuban people." A leading political prisoner, Orlando Zapata, died in hospital February 23 after 85 days into a hunger strike protesting Cuban prison conditions. Two other Cuban dissidents -- cyber journalist Guillermo Farinas and doctor Darsi Ferrer -- are currently engaged in hunger strikes demanding improved conditions. According to the Cuban Commission on Human Rights (CCDHRN), an illegal but tolerated group on the island, there are some 200 political prisoners in Cuba. Raul Castro on April 4 vowed never to give in to the dissidents' demands, calling it "blackmail" organized by the United States and Europe. The Cuban president charged the United States and Europe with waging "an unprecedented publicity war" against Havana allegedly supported by "major Western media."

On 9 April, I had lunch in Kabul with expert on Afghanistan now based at was on his way back to Washington via a meeting in Paris with the French Political Director. He had just spend three weeks in Kandahar and Gardez, his first visit since August last year. He came across as patriotic, but deeply worried, speaking in a monologue, mostly in French. OVERALL SITUATION said that his assessment was that the overall situation had deteriorated sharply since his 2. last visit. The Taliban were stronger, and more confident, than ever. ISAF was inflicting heavy losses on them, but the scale was as nothing compared with what the mujahideen had endured at the hands of the Russians. Moreover, the change in rules of engagement — to prevent civilian casualties, and fewer night raids — had been interpreted by the Taliban as signalling weakness on NATO's part. In view, most of the East, and Kunduz, was effectively lost to the Taliban and their fellow travellers. US forces in the East controlled the ground they occupied or passed over, but little more: they were in a similar position to the Soviet Army. Moreover, the population did not want to back them, and was resisting US attempts to set up tribal militias or implant US Special Forces in the did, however, acknowledge that he had heard that the US Marines in Helmand were villages, behaving much more sensitively towards the population than had been expected. But the situation in Marjah was not good. Of course, the Marines held the ground, but violence would continue for months or years. This did not offer the positive signal of momentum for which the Coalition had been hoping. KANDAHAR UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768229 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768229 Date: 08/31/2015 3. aid repeatedly that he did not understand the strategy in Kandahar. The Taliban had effectively penetrated, and largely controlled, a city of one million people. The ANP there were largely Barakzai, and working for either or both of the Taliban or Ahmed Wali Karzai's network. AWK was at the centre of a vast criminal enterprise: his brother-in-law was one of the largest drug traffickers in the south. When I said that surely ISAF could gradually occupy the city, squeezing the Taliban back and out, said he was not certain of that: he thought that there might well be quite violent resistance from the Taliban. He was also dismissive of the ISAF strategy of "managing" AWK: if the latter really did abandon his criminal ways, he would be dead. He would lose the protection of his militias. In such situations, one could only move forward, or go into prison or exile: there was no going back. AWK had just too many enemies to survive in Kandahar without the protection of his own criminal networks, guess was that AWK would promise to be good, but in reality stick to his was old habits, and hope to profit from the action taken by ISAF against the Taliban. dismissive of efforts to empower Governor Weesa, who would not survive five minutes in Kandahar without Western support and protection. Although Weesa came from the area, he had no power base, and, with his Canadian nationality, was regarded by the Kandaharis as a foreigner. was also sceptical as to whether ISAF could "shura" its way to success in Kandahar. On the 4. military side, he thought ISAF just couldn't generate the force densities necessary to control the city: for example, he thought the Argandab would require getting on for 15,000 troops to control it properly. The city of Kandahar would require some 10,000 fresh police, who were just not available. NEXT STEPS said he was worried about where the coalition was heading. The best that could be 5. expected was a messy stalemate in Kandahar, but the probability was, by the early autumn, an outcome that would not look at all like success, wondered whether ISAF really did need to go ahead with its plan to take Kandahar: in view, he was riding for a fall. I said that I did not see how we could pull back now. The planners were well aware of the risks, but wanted to generate positive momentum to enable a political process to take hold. MAKING PEACE said that, in his view, the only way out now was a negotiated peace with the Taliban and all 6. the other parties to the conflict. He thought that Pakistan would need to help Karzai and the Americans open such a dialogue with the Taliban, but, sooner or later, both Pakistan and Karzai would need to be moved to one side, and there would need to be direct talks between the Americans and the Taliban. The Taliban would not make a final peace with Karzai, who had little credibility left. Similarly, the senior Taliban leaders would need to be brought across the border into Afghanistan, to get them out from under the control of the ISI. All this would need deception and trickery: for the first time in his career, could see that diplomats were needed, in this case to finesse a delicate process, involving multiple negotiations. Karzai would have to eased out, but gently and with plenty of public respect. said that there would need to be a cease-fire, and wondered why ISAF couldn't occupy the 7. high ground by being the first to offer such a move. There would also have to be frank discussions about the withdrawal of foreign forces. said that his main worry was that the Obama Administration would waste another year 8. ploughing on with a military campaign which could deliver stalemate at best, and a serious reverse at worst. Then, with the 2011-12 Presidential election campaign getting going, the White House would panic, handing the problem to Pakistan, and pull US troops out more quickly than the situation UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768229 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768229 Date: 08/31/2015 merited. It was vital to get ahead of the curve, and start making preparations now for a messy political process that could last months or years. said that he had known from 2001 that the Western intervention in Afghanistan had been 9. fraught with danger. He had suspected then, and knew even more strongly now, that the Taliban could not be defeated or even properly contained by military means. Once again, he was sick with worry at the way things were going. He had thought that the Obama Administration had understood that the solutions in Afghanistan were political, not military. He was trying to think how he and other concerned experts could shock the Administration in getting a political grip on the situation: he was considering a joint op-ed by a group of experts. The seriousness of the situation meant that such an article would have to concentrate on essentials: much of the talk about counter-insurgency (in what was an Afghan civil war) and development and governance was no more than "poetry". the political difficulties for the US and other Western governments in 10. I pointed out to negotiating direct with the Taliban. Although the principle of a negotiated peace was accepted, more or less, in Washington and London, there was a long way to go before politicians fully addressed what that might involve. Hence the argument that we needed first to get on the front foot militarily. It would help if the Taliban could be pinned down on politically neuralgic issues, such as women's rights said that, in a serious negotiation, he thought such undertakings could and social restrictions, be extracted from the Taliban: again, however, the sooner work started on that, the more chance of a satisfactory result. that much of this thinking coincided with the views expressed by the Foreign 11. I told had missed the MIT Secretary in his article in The New York Review of Books of 29 April 2010 speech, as he had been in Kandahar). The UK election campaign meant that there was little that could be done over the next few weeks, apart from making sure that incoming or returning Ministers had the best possible advice. After the election, there was clearly a case for a good strategic discussion between the British Prime Minister and the American President: we all needed to raise our eyes from the urgent tactical preoccupations in the south to the really important strategic issues, of harvesting political success from military progress.

Otunbayeva and others had earlier offered ousted President Bakiyev a safe passage out of the country if he resigned voluntarily.

David Ford received support in the Northern Ireland Assembly from both the Protestants of the Democratic Unionists and the Catholics of Sinn Fein, who jointly lead the province's three-year-old administration. The Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein spent years negotiating terms for receiving control of Northern Ireland's justice system from Britain. Their compromise candidate, Ford, leads a small party called Alliance that seeks votes equally from both sides of the community.

Cheryl, Jake, I received a call from Masood Ahmed, Director of the Middle East Department at the IMF. Apparently at the Haiti meeting in NYC, the Secretary had a conversation with IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn in which she expressed an interest in meeting with him to discuss the IMF's work in Haiti and other places. A few weeks earlier, apparently she talked briefly with Mr. Ahmed at a meeting about Pakistan, and also expressed an interest in meeting with the IMF to discuss their work. The Managing Director would be very happy to meet with her. But I think they wanted to know whether she was really interested in meeting, or whether she was being diplomatic and polite. For what it's worth, I think a meeting could be very useful. Someone from Treasury would want to sit in. How should I respond to them? Thanks.

One consequence: Petraeus cannot run as a Republican. At least Putin didn't bring his big dogs in with him like he did with Merkel. Cheers, Sid Uri Avnery 20.3.10 The Doomsday Weapon IT IS already a commonplace to say that people who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Some 1942 years ago, the Jews in the province called Palaestina launched a revolt against the Roman Empire. In retrospect, this looks like an act of madness. Palestine was a small and insignificant part of the world-wide empire which had just won a crushing victory against the rival power — the Parthian Empire (Persia) — and put down a major rebellion in Britain. What chances could the Jewish revolt have? God knows what was going on in the mind of the "Zealots". They eliminated the moderate leaders, who warned against provoking the empire, and gained sway over the Jewish population of the country. They relied on God. Perhaps they also relied on the Jews in Rome and believed that their influence over the Senate would restrain the Emperor, Nero. Perhaps they had heard that Nero was weak and about to fall. We know how it ended: after three years, the rebels were crushed, Jerusalem fell and the temple was burned down. The last of the Zealots committed suicide in Masada. The Zionists did indeed try to learn from history. They acted in a rational way, did not provoke the great powers, endeavored in every situation to attain what was possible. They accepted compromises, and every compromise served them as a basis for the next surge forward. They cleverly utilized the radical stance of their adversaries and gained the sympathy of the whole world. But since the beginning of the occupation, their mind has become clouded. The cult of Masada has become dominant. Divine promises once again start to play a role in public discourse. Large parts of the public are following the new zealots. The next phase is also repeating itself: the leaders of Israel are starting a rebellion against the new Rome. WHAT BEGAN as an insult to the Vice President of the United States is developing into something far bigger. The mouse has given birth to an elephant.

The fears that arose in Jerusalem at the beginning of his term have dissipated. Obama looks to them like a paper black panther. He gave up his demand for a real settlement freeze. Every time he was spat on, he remarked that it was raining. Yet now, ostensibly quite suddenly, the measure is full. Obama, his Vice President and his senior assistants condemn the Netanyahu government with growing severity. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has submitted an ultimatum: Netanyahu must stop all settlement activity, East Jerusalem included; he must agree to negotiate about all core problems of the conflict, including East Jerusalem, and more. The surprise was complete. Obama, it seems, has crossed the Rubicon, much as the Egyptian army had crossed the Suez Canal in 1973. Netanyahu gave the order to mobilize all the reserves in America and to move forward all the diplomatic tanks. All Jewish organizations in the US were commanded to join the campaign. AIPAC blew the shofar and ordered its soldiers, the Senators and Congressmen, to storm the White House. It seems that the decisive battle has been joined. The Israeli leaders were certain that Obama would be defeated. And then an unusual noise was heard: the sound of the doomsday weapon. THE MAN who decided to activate it was a foe of a new kind. David Petraeus is the most popular officer of the United States army. The four-star general, son of a Dutch sea captain who went to America when his country was overrun by the Nazis, stood out from early childhood. In West Point he was a "distinguished cadet", in Army Command and General Staff College he was No. 1. As a combat commander, he reaped plaudits. He wrote his doctoral thesis (on the lessons of Vietnam) at Princeton and served as an assistant professor for international relations in the US Military Academy. He made his mark in Iraq, when he commanded the forces in Mosul, the most problematical city in the country. He concluded that in order to vanquish the enemies of the US he must win over the hearts of the civilian population, acquire local allies and spend more money than ammunition. The locals called him King David. His success was considered so outstanding that his methods were adopted as the official doctrine of the American army. His star rose rapidly. He was appointed commander of the coalition forces in Iraq and soon became the chief of the Central Command of the US army, which covers the whole Middle East , except Israel and Palestine (which "belong" to the American command in Europe). When such a person raises his voice, the American people listen. As a respected military thinker, he has no rivals. THIS WEEK, Petraeus conveyed an unequivocal message: after reviewing the problems in his AOR (Area Of Responsibility) — which includes, among others, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Yemen — he turned to what he called the "root causes of instability" in the region. The list was topped by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768302 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768302 Date: 08/31/2015 In his report to the Armed Services Committee he stated: "The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests in the AOR...The conflict foments anti-American sentiment, due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support. The conflict also gives Iran influence in the Arab world through its clients, Lebanese Hizballah and Hamas." Not content with that, Petraeus sent his officers to present his conclusions to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, In other words: Israeli-Palestinian peace is not a private matter between the two parties, but a supreme national interest of the USA. That means that the US must give up its one-sided support for the Israeli government and impose the two-state solution. The argument as such is not new. Several experts have said more or less the same in the past. (Immediately after the 9/11 attacks, I wrote in a similar vein and prophesied that the US would change its policy. It did not happen then.) But now this is being stated in an official document written by the responsible American commander. The Netanyahu government immediately went into damage-limitation mode. Its spokespersons declared that Petraeus represents a narrow military approach, that he doesn't understand political matters, that his reasoning is faulty. But it is not this that made people in Jerusalem break out into cold sweat. AS IS well known, the pro-Israel lobby dominates the American political system without limits — almost. Every American politician and senior official is mortally afraid of it. The slightest deviation from the strict AIPAC line is tantamount to political suicide. But in the armor of this political Goliath there is a chink. Like Achilles' heel, the immense might of the pro-Israel lobby has a vulnerable point that, when touched, can neutralize its power. It was illustrated by the Jonathan Pollard affair. This American-Jewish employee of a sensitive intelligence agency spied for Israel. Israelis consider him a national hero, a Jew who did his duty to his people. But for the US intelligence community, he is a traitor who endangered the lives of many American agents. Not satisfied with a routine penalty, it induced the court to impose a life sentence. Since then, all American presidents have refused the requests of successive Israeli governments to commute the sentence. No president dared to confront his intelligence chiefs in this matter. But the most significant side of this affair is reminiscent of the famous words of Sherlock Holmes about the dogs that did not bark. AIPAC did not bark. The entire American Jewish community fell silent. Almost nobody raised their voice for poor Pollard. Why? Because most American Jews are ready to do anything — just anything — for the government of Israel. With one exception: they will not do anything that appears to hurt the security of the United States. When the flag of security is hoisted, the Jews, like all Americans, snap to attention and salute. The Damocles sword of suspicion of disloyalty hangs above their heads. For them, this is the ultimate nightmare: to be accused of putting the security of Israel UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768302 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768302 Date: 08/31/2015 ahead of the security of the US. Therefore it is important for them to repeat endlessly the mantra that the interests of Israel and the US are identical. And now comes the most important general of the US Army and says that this is not so. The policy of the present Israeli government is endangering the lives of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. FOR NOW, this is being said only as a side remark, in a military document that has not been widely aired. But the sword has been drawn from its scabbard - and American Jews have started to tremble at the distant rumble of an approaching earthquake. This week, Netanyahu's brother-in-law has used our own doomsday weapon. He declared that Obama is an "anti-Semite". The official newspaper of the Shas party has asserted that Obama is really a Muslim. They represent the radical right and its allies, who argue in speech and in writing that "Hussein" Obama is a Jew-hating black who must be beaten in the coming congressional elections and in the next presidential ones. (Yet an important poll in Israel published yesterday shows that the Israeli public is far from convinced by these insinuations: the vast majority believes that Obama's treatment of Israel is fair. Indeed, Obama got higher marks than Netanyahu.) If Obama decides to fight back and activate his doomsday weapon - the accusation that Israel puts the lives of American servicemen at risk - this would have catastrophic consequences for Israel. For the time being, this is only a shot across the bow - a warning shot fired by a warship in order to induce another vessel to follow its instructions. The warning is clear. Even if the •present crisis is somehow damped down, it will inevitably flare up again and again as long as the present coalition in Israel stays in power. When the movie "Hurt Locker" won its awards, the entire American public was united in its concern about the lives of its soldiers in the Middle East. If this public becomes convinced that Israel is sticking a knife in their back, it will be a disaster for Netanyahu. And not just for him.

Sid Print this page From Times Online April 14, 2010 Tory lead narrows amid huge voter disenchantment, Times poll finds olmage :1 of 20, Peter Riddell The general election race is tightening, according to a Populus poll for The Times that reveals deep public disenchantment with the campaign so far. The poll, undertaken yesterday and this morning, says that more voters are now hoping for a hung parliament than either a Tory or a Labour outright victory. Conservative support has slipped by three points over the past week to 36 per cent, while Labour is a point up at 33 per cent. The Liberal Democrats are unchanged on 21 per cent. The polls tend to fluctuate by a couple of points either way. and these shifts are within the margin of error of the average. With other new polls pointing to a firming in Labour support, the party may have enjoyed a small boost from its manifesto launch. Tory strategists will hope to have achieved a boost from its manifesto launch today. If the Populus figures were repeated in the general election in three weeks' time, and there is a uniform switch in votes, Labour would be the largest single party, with about 300 MPs, ahead of the Tories on 264 and the Lib Dems on 54. This would point to a Lab/Lib Dem coalition. But many analysts do not expect a uniform national swing. The latest poll shows that 32 per cent of the public now hope for a hung parliament (as opposed to expecting one), against 28 per cent wanting a Tory majority and 22 per cent a Labour one. Lib Dem voters prefer a deal with Labour than the Tories in a hung parliament, by 44 to 31 per cent. The public is evenly split 40 to 42 per cent about whether they want Labour or the Tories in either a majority or a minority government. The poll shows that the number expecting a Tory overall majority has risen by three points to 34 per cent over the past week. This only just exceeds the number expecting a hung parliament, at 33 per cent, down six points compared with a week ago. Overall, 57 per cent expect the Tories to be the largest party, against 29 per cent expecting Labour to be. The public is deeply sceptical about the honesty of the parties. Only 4 per cent think that they are being completely honest about their tax plans, 61 per cent partly honest. Only 6 per cent say they are being completely honest about cutting the deficit and 61 per cent partly honest. Some 7 per cent say that they are being completely honest about the extent to which they can fund their policies by cutting waste and 58 per cent partly honest. Voters were asked to say which party had proposed eight key manifesto pledges. They wrongly identified four: reducing the increase in national insurance contributions (naming Labour not the Tories); allowing unsuccessful schools, hospitals and the police (the Tories, not Labour); tightening up takeover rules (the Tories not Labour); and requiring foreign workers employed in public services to speak fluent English (the Tories not Labour). In only one case, the £150-a-year tax break, did more than half of voters (60 per cent) correctly identify the party making the proposal.

This compares with 25 per cent naming the Tories and 18 per cent Labour. Just over half the public (54 per cent) plan to watch the first televised leaders' debate on Thursday evening. Men and middle class professionals are more likely to say that they will view. More than two fifths (42 per cent) expect David Cameron to win the debate, against 22 per cent for Gordon Brown. More Tories (70 per cent) than Labour voters ( 57 per cent) expect their leader to win. Two fifths of the public (42 per cent, up one point on a week ago) say it seems like a change from Labour, but are not sure that it is time for a change to the Conservatives. Some 33 per cent, down one point, think it is time for a change to the Tories. Populus interviewed a random sample of 1,525 adult voters on April 12 to 13.

INR is working with the interagency to create six initial country pages (Indonesia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Yemen) on this website. In addition to background information about each country and its relationship with the United States, each page will focus on providing up to date information on how local audiences view the United States and an analysis of the mediums through which local audiences get their news. Pages will also include a list effective messaging themes that would resonate with target audiences in each country. In the coming weeks, INR will be receiving interagency feedback on these initial draft web pages, and will be seeking guidance as to which additional countries should be covered. The hope is that each page will evolve over time based on user feedback. Please let me know if you would like any further information. Thanks, Mike Michael H.

There is no better rebuke to the violent extremists who seek to derail Iraq's progress. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost friends and loved ones, and we salute the determination of the Iraqi people to reaffirm their commitment to democracy and to charting their own future free of fear and intimidation. Thanks to the efforts of the Iraq High Electoral Commission and the Iraqi Security Forces, which organized the voting and ensured security at thousands of polling sites throughout the country, Iraqi men and women from all parts of the country were able to go to the polls and choose their leaders freely. I also would like to commend Ambassador Hill, General Odierno and all the U.S. civilian and military personnel who supported this historic effort. Iraqis have chosen a new government to lead their country at a critical time. In the coming months, we will work together with Iraqi leaders as our partnership continues its transition to a primarily civilian focus, with the goal of building a long-term, multidimensional relationship between our two nations - a relationship that will contribute to stability in the Middle East and growing peace and prosperity in Iraq. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768332 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768344 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Sunday, March 7, 2010 3:23 PM Fw: Pakistan Fyi Original Message From: Kennedy, Patrick F To: Mills, Cheryl D Sent: Sun Mar 07 15:14:27 2010 Subject: Pakistan Cheryl They departed last nite (before M was notified) Am in the office Regards Pat UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768344 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768345 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Sunday, March 7, 2010 9:31 PM H touching base I am likely going to go to bed early and be up early.

As troops packed their duffels and began to fly home this weekend, Haitians and some aid workers wondered whether U.N. peacekeepers and local police are up to the task of maintaining order. More than a half-million people still live in vast encampments that have grown more unpleasant in recent days with the early onset of rainy season. Some also fear the departure of the American troops is a sign of dwindling international interest in the plight of the Haitian people following the catastrophic Jan. 12 earthquake. "I would like for them to stay in Haiti until they rebuild the country and everybody can go back to their house," said Marjorie Louis, a 27-year-old mother of two, as she warmed a bowl of beans for her family over a charcoal fire on the fake grass of the national stadium. U.S. officials say the long-anticipated draw down of troops is not a sign of waning commitment to Haiti, only a change in the nature of the operation. Security will now be the responsibility of the 10,000-strong U.N. peacekeeping force and the Haitian police. A smaller number of U.S. forces 11 the exact number has not yet been determined 11 will be needed as the U.N. and Haitian government reassert control, said Gen. Douglas Fraser, head of U.S. Southern Command, which runs the Haiti operation. "Our mission is largely accomplished," Fraser said. American forces arrived in the immediate aftermath of the quake to treat the wounded, provide emergency water and rations and help prevent a feared outbreak of violence among desperate survivors. They also helped reopen the airport and seaport. There has been no widespread violence but security is a real issue. A U.N. food convoy traveling from Gonaives to Dessalines on Friday was stopped and overrun by people, who looted two trucks before peacekeepers regained control, U.N. officials said. They managed to escort the other two back to Gonaives. There were no reports of injuries.

But ordinary Haitians largely welcomed the troops, many out of disenchantment with their own government. "They should stay because they have been doing a good job," 35-year-old Lesly Pierre said as his family prepared dinner under a tarp at an encampment in Petionville. "If it was up to our government, we wouldn't have gotten any help at all." U.S. soldiers said they had nothing but warm encounters with the Haitian people. "They're real good people. They just want help," Army Private First Class Troy Sims, a 19-year-old from Fresno, California, said as he prepared to board a flight back to the U.S. "I feel that us being here helped a lot. If we weren't here, things probably would have gotten out of control." There are now about 11,000 troops, more than half of them on ships just off the coast, down from a peak of around 20,000 on Feb. 1. The total is expected to drop to about 8,000 in coming days as the withdrawal gathers steam. The military said more than 700 paratroopers left this weekend. Soldiers are now gone from the General Hospital, where they once directed traffic and kept order amid the chaos of mass casualties. There are no more Haitian patients on board the USNS Comfort, which treated 8,600 people after the quake. At a country club in Petionville, where some 100,000 Haitians are living in rough shelters in a muddy ravine, only a few soldiers remain of the several hundred there after the disaster. Alison Thompson said she was nervous about the smaller U.S. troop contingent. "Soon we are not going to have any security," said Thompson, medical coordinator of the Jenkins/Penn Relief Organization, which runs a field hospital at the edge of the ravine. "Everybody is just so worried that they are pulling out because it's going to get dangerous." It was the same concern for Louis at the national stadium. "If the troublemakers see that there is some kind of force here, they will think twice before they do anything," she said. "They are already getting ready to stir up trouble." But Ted Constan, chief program officer for Partners in Health, said that the way to address security is to get adequate shelter and other aid to the hundreds of thousands of people who are now stranded in squalid encampments. "The real solution is to deliver services ... rather than turn Haiti into a military state," he said.

Cheers, Sid Uri Avnery 20.3.10 The Doomsday Weapon IT IS already a commonplace to say that people who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Some 1942 years ago, the Jews in the province called Palaestina launched a revolt against the Roman Empire. In retrospect, this looks like an act of madness. Palestine was a small and insignificant part of the world-wide empire which had just won a crushing victory against the rival power — the Parthian Empire (Persia) — and put down a major rebellion in Britain. What chances could the Jewish revolt have? God knows what was going on in the mind of the "Zealots". They eliminated the moderate leaders, who warned against provoking the empire, and gained sway over the Jewish population of the country. They relied on God. Perhaps they also relied on the Jews in Rome and believed that their influence over the Senate would restrain the Emperor, Nero. Perhaps they had heard that Nero was weak and about to fall. We know how it ended: after three years, the rebels were crushed, Jerusalem fell and the temple was burned down. The last of the Zealots committed suicide in Masada. The Zionists did indeed try to learn from history. They acted in a rational way, did not provoke the great powers, endeavored in every situation to attain what was possible. They accepted compromises, and every compromise served UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768358 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768358 Date: 08/31/2015 them as a basis for the next surge forward. They cleverly utilized the radical stance of their adversaries and gained the sympathy of the whole world. But since the beginning of the occupation, their mind has become clouded. The cult of Masada has become dominant. Divine promises once again start to play a role in public discourse. Large parts of the public are following the new zealots. The next phase is also repeating itself: the leaders of Israel are starting a rebellion against the new Rome. WHAT BEGAN as an insult to the Vice President of the United States is developing into something far bigger. The mouse has given birth to an elephant. Lately, the ultra-right government in Jerusalem has started to treat President Barack Obama with thinly veiled contempt. The fears that arose in Jerusalem at the beginning of his term have dissipated. Obama looks to them like a paper black panther. He gave up his demand for a real settlement freeze. Every time he was spat on, he remarked that it was raining. Yet now, ostensibly quite suddenly, the measure is full. Obama, his Vice President and his senior assistants condemn the Netanyahu government with growing severity. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has submitted an ultimatum: Netanyahu must stop all settlement activity, East Jerusalem included; he must agree to negotiate about all core problems of the conflict, including East Jerusalem, and more. The surprise was complete. Obama, it seems, has crossed the Rubicon, much as the Egyptian army had crossed the Suez Canal in 1973. Netanyahu gave the order to mobilize all the reserves in America and to move forward all the diplomatic tanks. All Jewish organizations in the US were commanded to join the campaign. A1PAC blew the shofar and ordered its soldiers, the Senators and Congressmen, to storm the White House. It seems that the decisive battle has been joined. The Israeli leaders were certain that Obama would be defeated. And then an unusual noise was heard: the sound of the doomsday weapon. THE MAN who decided to activate it was a foe of a new kind. David Petraeus is the most popular officer of the United States army. The four-star general, son of a Dutch sea captain who went to America when his country was overrun by the Nazis, stood out from early childhood. In West Point he was a "distinguished cadet", in Army Command and General Staff College he was No. 1. As a combat commander, he reaped plaudits. He wrote his doctoral thesis (on the lessons of Vietnam) at Princeton and served as an assistant professor for international relations in the US Military Academy. He made his mark in Iraq, when he commanded the forces in Mosul, the most problematical city in the country. He concluded that in order to vanquish the enemies of the US he must win over the hearts of the civilian population, acquire local allies and spend more money than ammunition. The locals called him King David. His success was considered so outstanding that his methods were adopted as the official doctrine of the American army. His star rose rapidly. He was appointed commander of the coalition forces in Iraq and soon became the chief of the Central Command of the US army, which covers the whole Middle East, except Israel and Palestine (which "belong" to the American command in Europe). When such a person raises his voice, the American people listen. As a respected military thinker, he has no rivals. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768358 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768358 Date: 08/31/2015 THIS WEEK, Petraeus conveyed an unequivocal message: after reviewing the problems in his AOR (Area Of Responsibility) — which includes, among others, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Yemen — he turned to what he called the "root causes of instability" in the region. The list was topped by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In his report to the Armed Services Committee he stated: "The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests in the AOR...The conflict foments antiAmerican sentiment, due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support. The conflict also gives Iran influence in the Arab world through its clients, Lebanese Hizballah and Hamas." Not content with that, Petraeus sent his officers to present his conclusions to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, In other words: Israeli-Palestinian peace is not a private matter between the two parties, but a supreme national interest of the USA. That means that the US must give up its one-sided support for the Israeli government and impose the two-state solution. The argument as such is not new. Several experts have said more or less the same in the past. (Immediately after the 9/11 attacks, I wrote in a similar vein and prophesied that the US would change its policy. It did not happen then.) But now this is being stated in an official document written by the responsible American commander. The Netanyahu government immediately went into damage-limitation mode. Its spokespersons declared that Petraeus represents a narrow military approach, that he doesn't understand political matters, that his reasoning is faulty. But it is not this that made people in Jerusalem break out into cold sweat. AS IS well known, the pro-Israel lobby dominates the American political system without limits — almost. Every American politician and senior official is mortally afraid of it. The slightest deviation from the strict AIPAC line is tantamount to political suicide. But in the armor of this political Goliath there is a chink. Like Achilles' heel, the immense might of the pro-Israel lobby has a vulnerable point that, when touched, can neutralize its power. It was illustrated by the Jonathan Pollard affair. This American-Jewish employee of a sensitive intelligence agency spied for Israel. Israelis consider him a national hero, a Jew who did his duty to his people. But for the US intelligence community, he is a traitor who endangered the lives of many American agents. Not satisfied with a routine penalty, it induced the court to impose a life sentence. Since then, all American presidents have refused the requests of successive Israeli governments to commute the sentence. No president dared to confront his intelligence chiefs in this matter. But the most significant side of this affair is reminiscent of the famous words of Sherlock Holmes about the dogs that did not bark. A1PAC did not bark. The entire American Jewish community fell silent. Almost nobody raised their voice for poor Pollard. Why? Because most American Jews are ready to do anything —just anything —for the government of Israel. With one exception: they will not do anything that appears to hurt the security of the United States. When the flag of security is hoisted, the Jews, like all Americans, snap to attention and salute. The Damocles sword of suspicion of disloyalty hangs above their heads. For them, this is the ultimate nightmare: to be accused of putting the security of Israel ahead of the security of the US. Therefore it is important for them to repeat endlessly the mantra that the interests of Israel and the US are identical. And now comes the most important general of the US Army and says that this is not so. The policy of the present Israeli government is endangering the lives of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768358 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768358 Date: 08/31/2015 FOR NOW, this is being said only as a side remark, in a military document that has not been widely aired. But the sword has been drawn from its scabbard — and American Jews have started to tremble at the distant rumble of an approaching earthquake. This week, Netanyahu's brother-in-law has used our own doomsday weapon. He declared that Obama is an "antiSemite". The official newspaper of the Shas party has asserted that Obama is really a Muslim. They represent the radical right and its allies, who argue in speech and in writing that "Hussein" Obama is a Jew-hating black who must be beaten in the coming congressional elections and in the next presidential ones. (Yet an important poll in Israel published yesterday shows that the Israeli public is far from convinced by these insinuations: the vast majority believes that Obama's treatment of Israel is fair. Indeed, Obama got higher marks than Netanyahu.) If Obama decides to fight back and activate his doomsday weapon — the accusation that Israel puts the lives of American servicemen at risk — this would have catastrophic consequences for Israel. For the time being, this is only a shot across the bow — a warning shot fired by a warship in order to induce another vessel to follow its instructions. The warning is clear. Even if the present crisis is somehow damped down, it will inevitably flare up again and again as long as the present coalition in Israel stays in power. When the movie "Hurt Locker" won its awards, the entire American public was united in its concern about the lives of its soldiers in the Middle East. If this public becomes convinced that Israel is sticking a knife in their back, it will be a disaster for Netanyahu. And not just for him.

"I would like to offer my strong support for the Energy and Climate Ministerial of the Americas being held today at the Inter-American Development Bank and at the Organization for American States on April 16. I attended the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago in April 2009 when President Obama announced the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) to address the energy and climate change challenges facing the region. The challenges are many as seen in frequent blackouts in major cities in the region and the lack of access to electricity in the rural countryside. Energy poverty, energy inefficiency and poor infrastructure have a direct impact on economic growth and development in many countries. "The Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas is an effort to address these issues head on. But it's not an initiative that places the United States in a role in which it provides all the assistance or direction. It's innovative since it sets up a voluntary and flexible framework that is open to governments, private industry, and civil society to lead or participate in initiatives that reflect their priorities. Many countries in the Western Hemisphere such as Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Canada plan on leading initiatives under ECPA. El Salvador, Chile, Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago will set up Clean Energy Technology Centers to serve as sources of expertise on renewable energy technologies. "I applaud the efforts of the representatives of the 32 countries and over 200 businesses and civil society organizations attending the Energy and Climate Ministerial of the Americas. Many initiatives will be announced during the Ministerial. It's impressive to see the fast progress on ECPA since President Obama announced it last year. This is clearly a sign of the new relationship that the Obama Administration would like with the countries of the Western Hemisphere - an inclusive one based on partnership and focused on pragmatic problem solving and not political posturing. I plan on working with President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton, and Energy Secretary Steven Chu to make sure the goals and priorities of the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas are met."

It's not frugality; he's trying to avoid being poisoned. You can't be too careful: before leaving the house, he also straps a Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun into a holster secreted in the depths of his robes. Seized with occasional fits of passion, Jabar has been known to whip out the gun during meetings. He may be jumpy, but tactics like this are not entirely out of place in his line of work: as district governor, the 65-year-old has an unenviable task — of wresting the Arghandab River Valley, one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan, from the Taliban. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768432 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768432 Date: 08/31/2015 Viewed from the roof of Jabar's district headquarters, the sweep of the valley is at once beautiful - bleakly majestic - and charged with menace. A distant range of low, dun-coloured hills defines the valley's opposite flank. Orchards of pomegranate trees, their branches stripped bare by the cold, line the banks of a river meandering across the valley floor, dividing the east side of Arghandab from the west. The east is where Jabar's office is perched, and where US troops feel safer it's the west side they call "bad juju land". Insurgents use a strip of desert there to infiltrate Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban in the mid-1990s, and the pivot on which previous Afghan wars have turned. Roadside bombs hidden in the lush vineyards last year turned Arghandab into a killing field. A battalion of the 82nd Airborne Division deployed here in mid-December is hoping for better The district governor's office luck, but a new showdown is coming. Stanley McChrystal, the Nato commander in Afghanistan, has vowed to secure Kandahar. The Taliban want It back. One night, one of the insurgents called the governor's mobile. "He said, 'I'm going to kill you, you're working for the Americans,- says Jabar, sitting on the carpet in his office. "I said, 'Do whatever you can do.' Then I abused him and hung up." Jabar normally cuts a rather solemn figure. At this recollection, he laughed. Jabar is not alone in his mission. Aside from the 2-508 battalion of the 82nd Airborne two Americans have arrived in Arghandab to help out: 27-year-old Kevin Melton and 35-year-old Christopher Harich. They're part of the Obama administration's "civilian surge", announced alongside a fresh build-up of US troops. Working out of the whitewashed, two-storey district office, this unlikely trio aims to turn the tide of opinion in the district. They must do it before spring, when the valley will come into leaf and the Taliban fighters return from Pakistan in time for the fighting season. "Arghandab is the gate to Kandahar city," Jabar says. "If Arghandab is lost, Kandahar is also lost. It's the most important valley in Afghanistan." Haji Abdul Jabar and Kevin Melton of US Aid above the Arghandab Valley Jabar, Harich and Melton have little in common but their beards. Melton, who grew up in the suburbs of Washington, is working for USAid, the US governments development agency. Hard-driving and anxious to get results, Melton juggles a raft of plans for projects from solar-powered lamps for villages, to schemes for hydroelectricity and renovating a shrine clinging to a nearby mountainside. His past experience includes work in Sudan, but the challenge in Arghandab trumps anything he has previously attempted. "It feels like there's no end to the day," he said. "It's physically, mentally, emotionally and intellectually exhausting." Harich is a lawyer and a former marine from Louisiana who until recently worked as a policy adviser to the governor of West Virginia. He now represents the US State Department in Arghandab. "I've no doubt in my mind that we're going to have a fight this summer," he says. "When the Taliban come back in May, are they welcomed with open arms?" Strapping on their khaki-coloured helmets and flak jackets and donning wraparound protective sunglasses whenever they leave the base, Melton and Harich bear a distinct resemblance to the US soldiers who protect them. Jabar, meanwhile, sports neck and wrist pouches containing Koranic charms to ward off the health risks caused by his high blood pressure. (He takes advantage of the medic in the US military base adjacent to his office for regular check-ups.) Both the Americans were lured by the challenge of participating in the US adventure in Afghanistan for a year. Sleeping in vacant rooms in the district office and equipped with a V-Sat internet link to keep in touch with superiors in Kandahar city - but no shower they must figure out how to work with Jabar to build local government more or less from scratch. Harich aims to act as a "mentor", helping Jabar as he works with the provincial government in Kandahar to assemble an administrative team to govern the district of more than 55,000 people, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768432 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768434 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Sunday, March 21, 2010 12:35 PM H Fw: NYTimes The Soft Steps of Diplomacy" Fyi Original Message ---From: stockann Mills, Cheryl D; Abedin, Huma To: Cheryl Mills Cc: Pally, Maura M Sent: Sun Mar 21 11:47:42 2010 Subject: NYTimes "The Soft Steps of Diplomacy" Check out the NYT Arts Section front page cover story today on ECA.

He said that the Arab and Palestinian position on this issue is clear; there needs to be a clear TOR for negotiations and total cessation of settlement activities. He said that the PA position in principle is not against negotiations. On the contrary its for negotiations that do not waste time since the Palestinian national interest requires a solution as soon as possible to create the independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as capital. NAR went on to say that before talking about resumption of direct negotiations, there is a need to clarify the basis of these negotiations and to know the fate of settlements and to what extent will Israeli abide by freezing settlement activities. With respect to Israeli provocations which seriously tamper with security and stability, NAR said that Israel does not want a return to negotiations but wants to blame the Palestinians by saying they don't want to enter negotiations.

Empey Dumpty... Sid UUP policing meeting with McGuinness breaks down after three minutes Latest row comes on eve of critical vote in Stormont assembly on transfer of justice powers from London to Belfast • • • Henry McDonald, Ireland correspondent quardian.co.uk, Monday 8 March 2010 17.36 GMT Article history A meeting between the Ulster Unionists and Northern Ireland's deputy first minister aimed at securing the party's support for the devolution of policing and justice broke down in acrimony this evening. The encounter between Martin McGuinness and a UUP delegation lasted all of three minutes at Stormont. The latest row comes on the eve of a critical vote in the Stormont assembly on transferring justice and policing powers from London to Belfast. The UUP has indicated it will not support the last act of devolution because they believe the entire power-sharing executive is dysfunctional. Sir Reg Empey, the UUP leader, told the Guardian last month his party would not support the transfer of these powers unless it obtained concessions on education — specifically the retention of academic selection to grammar schools at 11. Following the aborted meeting today, the UUP released a statement condemning both McGuinness and Peter Robinson, the first minister, who is leader of the rival Democratic Unionist party. The UUP claimed it had been ejected from the deputy first minister's office. A UUP spokesman said: "An ill-tempered deputy first minister attempted to aggressively lecture the Ulster Unionist party on policing and justice. He ridiculously accused us of being an anti-agreement party. Our delegation robustly reminded the deputy first minister that we were the party which brought power-sharing government to Stormont. "Quite clearly dissent and disagreement are unacceptable to Sinn Fein — unfortunately for Mr McGuinness, a party voting against a motion with which it disagrees is basic, normal democratic politics." The spokesman added that McGuinness's "angry and aggressive attempt to lecture" the UUP was "wholly unacceptable". "When challenged on his tone, the meeting broke down. The UUP will not take lectures on our commitment to devolution from Martin McGuinness. "If this is how Sinn Fein understands power-sharing, then it is small wonder that the [Northern Ireland] executive is dysfunctional." If the DUP and Sinn Fein press ahead with the vote it is highly likely that the leader of the centrist, non-sectarian Alliance party, David Ford, will become the first justice minister for Northern Ireland. The SDLP will back the transfer of policing and justice powers in the Assembly tomorrow. However the nationalist party is angry that it is not being offered the justice ministry. Under the rules governing the hand-out of ministries in the powersharing government the SDLP are officially entitled to choose the next ministry. The party opposes the appointment of Ford as justice minister but will still support the transfer of these powers as they want to be seen to continue to back the power-sharing arrangement.

Photograph: Karim Jaafar/AFP/Getty Images David Cameron has been given a stark warning from Washington that dissident terrorists will be "emboldened" to intensify their attacks in Northern Ireland and millions of dollars of US investment will be threatened if he fails to persuade the Tories' Ulster Unionist partners to endorse the final stage of the peace process. In a sign of deep unease in Washington at the Tories' electoral pact with the UUP, a bipartisan group of US Congress members have demanded Cameron must "aggressively" encourage his partners to endorse the deal in a vote in the Northern Ireland assembly on Tuesday. "At this defining moment in the peace process, it is crucial that all the political parties speak with one voice about their shared future," the members of Congress wrote in a private letter to Cameron. Without a unanimous vote, they said, the province's elected officials would be sending the wrong message to the people they represent, and to the world. "Dissidents are trying to destabilise the political institutions and turn the clock back ... These dissidents will continue to be emboldened if they sense there is no political unanimity on the way forward ... The challenge of bringing good jobs to Northern Ireland will be made more difficult if potential investors do not believe there is political stability." The letter by congressional leaders of the 41 million-strong Irish-American community has been passed to the Guardian before the crucial vote on last month's Hillsborough agreement between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionists. A yes vote would see policing and criminal justice powers devolved to Belfast next month in what the British government has dubbed the final piece in the jigsaw of the 1998 Good Friday agreement. The congressmen and women, whose views reflect the private misgivings of the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, wrote to Cameron after learning that his electoral partners in Northern Ireland were voicing doubts about endorsing the deal. Clinton is said to be alarmed that Cameron has either failed, or not bothered, to warn the UUP of the dangers of obstructing the deal. A Tory source said: "David Cameron has consistently made clear that we support the devolution of policing and criminal justice powers ... We welcomed the agreement between the DUP and Sinn Fein. The final details are for the parties in the executive, working as a four-party coalition, to decide. We hope that between now and Tuesday any outstanding issues can be solved." The Hillsborough agreement was brokered last month under a system endorsed by the UUP when it was the largest party in Northern Ireland. This says that any change must have the consent of 50% of both the nationalist and Unionist communities and 50% of the assembly. Sir Reg Empey, the UUP leader who was one of the architects of the Good Friday agreement, will meet his party's executive tomorrow night to decide how to vote. The deal could still be passed tomorrow without the support of the UUP because the DUP's 36 assembly members account for more than 50% of the unionist bloc. But there are fears in Washington that a no vote from the UUP, seen as a moribund force until Cameron breathed new life into it, would destabilise many members of the DUP and undermine support for the devolution of policing and criminal justice powers. US eyes on Northern Ireland in countdown to crucial peace vote Hillary Clinton, the White House and Congressional leaders look for a yes vote in Belfast By Nick Watt Guardian For a few hours tomorrow, the United States will turn its attention to Northern Ireland. Democratic and Republican leaders will both be watching to see whether all mainstream political parties endorse the final stage in the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: the devolution of policing and criminal justice powers. Sir Reg Empey, the leader of the Ulster Unionist party, is meeting his executive tonight to decide whether to vote yes. Empey has severe doubts about the deal between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist party. This would see policing UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768439 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768439 Date: 08/31/2015 and criminal justice powers devolved to Belfast next month — a key nationalist demand — in return for the long-standing unionist demand for a review of the way in which contentious parades are run. Intense pressure is being placed on Empey to fall into line. Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state who has taken a keen interest in Northern Ireland since the peace process was launched in the early days of her husband's presidency, spent 15 minutes talking to Empey by phone, according to BBC Northern Ireland. But transatlantic pressure has also been brought to bear on the other side of the Irish Sea. I reported this morning that a group of bipartisan US Congressmen have written to David Cameron asking him to use his influence with the UUP, which recently formed an electoral pact with the Tories, to vote yes. The unease among the US Congress members is shared by Hillary Clinton. She is said to believe that Cameron would be well advised to follow the example of John Major, who was respected as an impartial referee. The concerns in the US will raise questions about claims made in private recently by William Hague. The shadow foreign secretary is saying that, despite their political differences, he is forging a strong bond with Clinton. But all sides need to be careful. The Tories, who support the deal between Sinn Fein and the DUP, believe that ministers need to be careful about frightening the UUP with too much political pressure. The government was this morning trumpeting a poll, commissioned by them, which showed overwhelming support among UUP voters for a yes vote. But, as Slugger O'Toole notes, there is some debate about the methodology. "It almost feels like the government want the UUP to vote no so they can draw one of Gordon Brown's beloved dividing lines and say we are to blame for it all going wrong," one Tory tells me.

The assembly is to vote on whether the powers should be devolved on Tuesday. Earlier on Monday, the UUP accused Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward of political and emotional blackmail ahead of Tuesday's vote. Danny Kennedy said he had linked the vote to the anniversary of the murder of Constable Stephen Carroll. The vote takes place exactly a year after the police officer was murdered by the Continuity IRA in Craigavon. Mr Woodward said transferring justice powers on Tuesday would send an important message to those responsible for his death and dissident republicans in general. Bur Mr Kennedy, the UUP's deputy leader, said the secretary of state was guilty of "political and emotional blackmail" and called on him to consider his position. The UUP has been refusing to endorse the Hillsborough Agreement, insisting that matters such as education, parading and "the dysfunctional nature of the current executive" must be addressed. On Monday night, former DUP leader Ian Paisley said the UUP would be making a "colossal mistake" by not backing the deal. Mr Paisley was speaking to DUP members in Ballymena as he announced his retirement as MP for north Antrim. The DUP selected his son, Ian Jnr, as its candidate in the forthcoming Westminster election at the same meeting. Meanwhile, It also suggested that 70% of unionists favour Northern Ireland politicians being in charge of policing issues, compared to 83% of nationalists.

Sid George Bush to David Cameron: don't derail Northern Ireland peace process Exclusive: Former president urges Cameron to rein in Unionist partners • • • Nicholas Watt quardian.co.uk, Monday 8 March 2010 21.20 GMT Article history Former US president George Bush has called David Cameron over his concerns for the Northern Ireland peace process. Photograph: Andrew Parsons/PA The former US president George Bush has made a direct plea to David Cameron to support the Northern Ireland peace process, amid widespread concern in the US about the Tories' new electoral pact with the Ulster Unionists. In his most active intervention since leaving the White House, Bush took the rare step of calling the Conservative leader to ask him to use his influence to press his unionist partners to endorse the final stages of the 15-year search for a settlement. Bush, who took a close interest in the peace process during his years in the White House, telephoned Cameron last Friday to ask him to plead with the UUP leader, Sir Reg Empey, to endorse the deal in a vote tomorrow in the Northern Ireland assembly. Democrats and Republicans fear that the peace process could be undermined if the Ulster Unionist party, formerly Northern Ireland's largest party, which governed the province until direct rule was imposed in 1972, votes against the devolution of policing and criminal justice powers to Belfast. While the UUP does not have enough votes to scupper the deal, the White House fears a no vote from the UUP could undermine support for the settlement within the Democratic Unionist party and among the wider unionist community. Cameron has faced intense pressure in recent months over his decision to form an electoral pact with the UUP, which could provide him with crucial support if the general election leads to a hung parliament. The pact has prompted fears in Washington that Cameron may abandon the even-handed approach to Northern Ireland adopted by John Major in the early years of the peace process. The Guardian understands that the White House is so concerned that the US economic envoy to Northern Ireland, Declan Kelly, persuaded Bush to intervene. The former president telephoned Cameron to ask him to use his influence to persuade Empey to vote for the deal. "There was a feeling that a conservative to conservative conversation was the right way to go about this," said one source familiar with the transatlantic negotiations. "This conversation was borne out of the concern that Empey is holding out." Another source familiar with the contact said: "This is the most active thing George W Bush has done in his postpresidency period. He has been incredibly restrained and diplomatic since leaving the White House. He has maintained radio silence." One source familiar with thinking on Northern Ireland on both sides of the Atlantic added: "The fact that George W Bush has decided to intervene is really significant. He was interested in the peace process as president and appointed an envoy. It is a general sign of how concerned people are in the US about what David Cameron is up to." A Tory source said: "George Bush did have a conversation with David Cameron. It was a positive conversation. David underlined his commitment to the agreement and said we are doing all we can to support it. But he said that we cannot force Sir Reg to vote for it. George Bush thanked David and said, 'I can see you are engaged." The disclosure of Bush's intervention came as Empey met the executive of his party tonight to decide whether to endorse the deal brokered last month at Hillsborough Castle between Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionists that would see policing and criminal justice powers devolved to Belfast next month.

In a sign of Empey's unease about endorsing the deal, a meeting between the UUP and the Sinn Fein deputy first minster, Martin McGuinness, broke up after just three minutes tonight. The White House and political leaders across the spectrum in the US have been watching developments with care. Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, today pleaded with Empey in a 15-minute telephone call to support the deal. A group of US Congress members wrote to Cameron last month to issue a stark warning that dissident terrorists will be "emboldened" to intensify their attacks if he fails to persuade the Tories' partners to endorse the final stage of the peace process.

Sharef began by stating how much Libya valued the bilateral relationship with the US, how we had all worked for years to improve things between our countries, "only to have it all ruined in one minute by your spokesman." Sharef said she had sat in on meetings today with Qadhafi, PM Baghdadi, and Qadhafi chief of staff Bashir Saleh. She said all were "angry and upset" that there had still been no apology from the USG for the "insult to the Leader." I reviewed with her Crowley's March 5 comments, noting that he had clarified his remarks were off-hand (I translated that in Arabic as "non-official.") I also briefed her on your and A/S Crowley's meeting with Aujali, which she had clearly not yet heard about (which means Q most likely had also not been briefed on it). Sharef said such a meeting was appreciated, but did not meet the Libyan demand for an apology. She said, repeatedly throughout the conversation, "The Brother Leader is upset that no one from the USG has explained that this spokesman was not speaking for them, and made clear that his comments were wrong, and apologized for them. He expected behavior and words like this from Switzerland, not from the US." She noted that Q had remarked that he had said nice things about President Obama during his meetings with people from the US Embassy ("You reported that back to Washington, right"; I assured her we had), and was thus surprised that the USG responded with "the words of gangsters!" Sharef repeatedly referenced NOC Chair Ghanem's meeting last Thursday with the GM's from US oil companies: "We don't want to have to take measures against them, but such insults to the Leader cannot stand. Why has the US not publicly distanced itself from Crowley and his comments?!" She UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768469 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768469 Date: 08/31/2015 treated me to a lengthy detailing of Swiss criminality and violations of international agreements, and then said, "But even the Swiss haven't said what your spokesman did!" I reviewed again with her Crowley's March 5 comments, and noted that, as he is the spokesman for the State Department, he is the correct person, in our view, to remark on the situation; it wouldn't be in keeping with USG practice for someone other than the Department spokesman to comment (i.e. no distancing of the USG from Crowley). I emphasized that the US was not involved, and did not want to be involved, in the Swiss-Libya dispute, we just hope it is resolved soon. I stressed that the US values its relationship with Libya, and wants to continue improving the relationship, and get past this unfortunate bad spot we currently are in. I asked if it would be helpful if a senior USG official called Q to discuss issues of bilateral interest, and reinforce the importance of the relationship. At first, she brushed off such an idea - "that won't be a public apology" - but at the end of our conversation, returned to the idea, noting that it was interesting, and inquiring as to which USG official might call. I said I didn't want to make any promises I couldn't keep; that I'd check with Washington and get back to her with further details tomorrow. She reiterated that she liked the idea, and said we should discuss it further over coffee tomorrow or Wednesday. Sharef closed by mentioning that she "and most Libyans" are "hand in hand with the US ... we want a good relationship with you, as we like you, you're not like the Europeans." Appreciate your guidance as to whether I can discuss further details of possible call with Sharef tomorrow.

Some 1942 years ago, the Jews In the province called Palaestina launched a revolt against the Roman Empire. In retrospect, this looks like an act of madness. Palestine was a small and insignificant part of the world-wide empire which had just won a crushing victory against the rival power - the Parthian Empire (Persia) - and put down a major rebellion in Britain. What chances could the Jewish revolt have? God knows what was going on in the mind of the "Zealots". They eliminated the Moderate leaders, who warned against provoking the empire, and gained sway over the Jewish population of the country. They relied on God. Perhaps they also relied on the Jews in Rome and believed that their influence over the Senate would restrain the Emperor, Nero. Perhaps they had heard that Nero was weak and about to fall.

The last of the Zealots committed suicide in Masada. The Zionists did indeed try to learn from history. They acted in a rational way, did not provoke the great powers, endeavored in every situation to attain what was possible. They accepted compromises, and every compromise served them as a basis for the next surge forward. They cleverly utilized the radical stance of their adversaries and gained the sympathy of the whole world. But since the beginning of the occupation, their mind has become clouded. The cult of Masada has become dominant. Divine promises once again start to play a role in public discourse. Large parts of the public are following the new zealots. The next phase is also repeating itself: the leaders of Israel are starting a rebellion against the new Rome.

The surprise was complete. Obama, it seems, has crossed the Rubicon, much as the Egyptian army had crossed the Suez Canal in 1973. Netanyahu gave the order to mobilize all the reserves in America and to move forward all the diplomatic tanks. All Jewish organizations in the US were commanded to join the campaign. AIPAC blew the shofar and ordered its soldiers, the Senators and Congressmen, to storm the White House. It seems that the decisive battle has been joined. The Israeli leaders were certain that Obama would be defeated. And then an unusual noise was heard: the sound of the doomsday weapon. THE MAN who decided to activate it was a foe of a new kind. David Petraeus is the most popular officer of the United States army. The four-star general, son of a Dutch sea captain who went to America when his country was overrun by the Nazis, stood out from early childhood. In West Point he was a "distinguished cadet", in Army Command and General Staff College he was No. 1. As a combat commander, he reaped plaudits. He wrote his doctoral thesis (on the lessons of Vietnam) at Princeton and served as an assistant professor for international relations in the US Military Academy. He made his mark in Iraq, when he commanded the forces in Mosul, the most problematical city in the country. He concluded that in order to vanquish the enemies of the US he Must win over the hearts of the civilian population, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768486 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768486 Date: 08/31/2015 acquire local allies and spend more money than ammunition. The locals called him King David. His success was considered so outstanding that his methods were adopted as the official doctrine of the American army. His star rose rapidly. He was appointed commander of the coalition forces in Iraq and soon became the chief of the Central Command of the US army, which covers the whole Middle East , except Israel and Palestine (which "belong" to the American command in Europe). When such a person raises his voice, the American people listen. As a respected military thinker, he has no rivals. THIS WEEK, Petraeus conveyed an unequivocal message: after reviewing the problems in his AOR (Area Of Responsibility) - which includes, among others, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Yemen - he turned to what he called the "root causes of instability" in the region. The list was topped by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In his report to the Armed Services Committee he stated: "The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests in the AOR_The conflict foments anti-American sentiment, due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian Question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and, other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support. The conflict also gives Iran influence in the Arab world through its clients, Lebanese Hizballah and Hamas." Not content with that, Petraeus sent his officers to present his conclusions to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768486 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768486 Date: 08/31/2015 In other words: Israeli-Palestinian peace is not a private matter between the two parties, but a supreme national interest of the USA. That means that the US must give up its one-sided support for the Israeli government and impose the two-state solution. The argument as such is not new. Several experts have said more or less the same in the past. (Immediately after the 9/11 attacks, I wrote in a similar vein and prophesied that the US would change its policy. It did not happen then.) But now this is being stated in an official document written by the responsible American commander. The Netanyahu government immediately went into damage-limitation mode. Its spokespersons declared that Petraeus represents a narrow military approach, that he doesn't understand political matters, that his reasoning is faulty. But it is not this that made people in Jerusalem break out into cold sweat. AS IS well known, the pro-Israel lobby dominates the American political system without limits - almost. Every American politician and senior official is mortally afraid of it. The slightest deviation from the strict AIPAC line is tantamount to political suicide. But in the armor of this political Goliath there is a chink. Like Achilles' heel, the immense might of the pro-Israel lobby has a vulnerable point that, when touched, can neutralize its power. It was illustrated by the Jonathan Pollard affair. This American-Jewish employee of a sensitive intelligence agency spied. for Israel. Israelis consider him a national hero, a Jew who did his duty to his people. But for the US intelligence community, he is a traitor who endangered the lives of many American agents.

Since then, all American presidents have refused the requests of successive Israeli governments to commute the sentence. No president dared to confront his intelligence chiefs in this matter. But the most significant side of this affair is reminiscent of the famous words of Sherlock Holmes about the dogs that did not bark. AIPAC did not bark. The entire American Jewish community fell silent. Almost nobody raised their voice for poor Pollard. Why? Because most American Jews are ready to do anything - just anything - for the government of Israel. With one exteption: they will not do anything that appears to hurt the security of the United States. When the flag of security is hoisted, the Jews, like all Americans, snap to attention and salute. The Damocles sword of suspicion of disloyalty hangs above their heads. For them, this is the ultimate nightmare: to be accused of putting the security of Israel ahead of the security of the US. Therefore it is important for them to repeat endlessly the mantra that the interests of Israel and the US are identical. And now comes the most important general of the US Army and says that this is not so. The policy of the present Israeli government is endangering the lives of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. FOR NOW, this is being said only as a side remark, in a military document that has not been widely aired. But the sword has been drawn from its scabbard - and ,American Jews have started to tremble at the distant rumble of an approaching earthquake. This week, Netanyahu's brother-in-law has used our own doomsday weapon. He declared that Obama is an "anti-Semite". The official newspaper of the Shas UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768486 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768486 Date: 08/31/2015 party has asserted that Obama is really a Muslim. They represent the radical right and its allies, who argue in speech and in writing that "Hussein" Obama is a.Jew-hating black who must be beaten in the coming congressional elections and in the next presidential ones. (Yet an important poll in Israel published yesterday shows that the Israeli public is far from convinced by these insinuations: the vast majority believes that Obama's treatment of Israel is fair. Indeed, Obama got higher marks than Netanyahu.) If Obama decides to fight back and activate his doomsday weapon - the accusation that Israel puts the lives of American servicemen at risk - this would have catastrophic consequences for Israel. For the time being, this is only a shot across the bow - a warning shot fired by a warship in order to induce another vessel to follow its instructions. The warning is clear. Even if the present crisis is somehow damped down, it will inevitably flare up again and again as long as the present coalition in Israel stays in power. When the movie "Hurt Locker" won its awards, the entire American public was united in its concern about the lives of its soldiers in the Middle East. If this public becomes convinced that Israel is sticking a knife in their back, it will be a disaster for Netanyahu. And not just for him.

What I've written are options. Use what you like, or none at all. Here are some ideas: 1. Hold Bibi's feet to the fire, remind everyone he was at Wye, his key participant event in the peace process, and that it was successful. 2. Reassure all players of our commitment to the process and the solution (whatever the language is). 3. Perhaps most controversial, I would argue something you should do is that, while praising AIPAC, remind it in as subtle but also direct a way as you can that it does not have a monopoly over American Jewish opinion. Bibi is stage managing US Jewish organizations (and neocons, and the religious right, and whomever else he can muster) against the administration. AIPAC itself has become an organ of the Israeli right, specifically Likud. By acknowledging J Street you give them legitimacy, credibility and create room within the American Jewish community for debate supportive of the administration's pursuit of the peace process. Just by mentioning J Street in passing, AIPAC becomes a point on the spectrum, not the controller of the spectrum. I suggest a way how to do this below. Some language: 1. On US national security interest, Israel's security and the peace process: The reason the US has always supported Israel since the moment President Harry S. Truman decided to recognize the State of Israel is that it is in the US national security interest and consistent with our values.

It allows them to fuzz up the hard parts of a negotiation -- the "final status" issues, as they're often called -- and save them for later, when the parties are more amenable to pressure. This devotion to "constructive ambiguity" has been a hallmark of U.S. peacemaking on the Palestinian-Israeli issue for 40 years. Rather than state the unpalatable concessions that most analysts recognize will be required for any viable settlement -- that Israelis must share sovereignty in Jerusalem and that Palestinians must give up the "right of return" to Israel -- successive U.S. administrations have tried to defer these unmentionables until later. But the fog machine blew apart this month, when the isr3e1Interipr i‘,1!inista_rndLinced du..ripq. visit ily__Vde President ,lerusal.erp. The Obama administration was upset, to put it Biden that Israel would build 1,600 more housipg priits in mildly: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the housing announcement a "deeply negative signal" about U.S.-Israeli relations and "an insult." In the ensuing hubbub over the "crisis" in U.S.-Israeli relations, there have been frantic attempts to pretend it was all a misunderstanding and pull the cloak of ambiguity back over the peace process. But that's a mistake. The East Jerusalem move wasn't an accident but an emphatic public statement of the Israeli right's rejection of concessions on Jerusalem. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had been trying to play along with U.S. requests to fuzz the issue by avoiding provocative actions on Jerusalem. But the right-wing Shas party, which controls the Interior Ministry, basically called his bluff. "Freezing building in East Jerusalem is one of those things we cannot do," said Dore Gold, a right-wing former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations. And Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli foreign minister and a settler himself, responded: "Can you imagine if they told Jews in New York they could not build or buy in Queens?" So what should the administration do, now that the Israeli right has put Jerusalem squarely on the table despite the best efforts of the ambiguity-addicted diplomats? The administration's best strategy is to do what it considered a year ago, which is to state clearly the basic principles that must frame these negotiations. Those guidelines have been articulated well by Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former national security adviser: real sharing of Jerusalem; no right of return for the Palestinians; a return to the 1967 borders, with mutual adjustments to allow for big Israeli settlement blocks; and a demilitarized Palestinian state. Every negotiation for the past four decades has converged toward those parameters. The Obama administration debated whether to issue such a statement of principles a year ago, when it began its peacemaking effort. Launching negotiations with this "big bang" made sense to some officials, including Gen. Jim Jones, the national security adviser, But George Mitchell, the Middle East envoy, argued that based on his experience in the Northern Ireland peace talks, it was better to let the parties haggle before the United States stepped in with bridging proposals. Rather than stating U.S. negotiating principles at the outset, the Obama team decided instead to push Netanyahu on settlements. The administration picked this fight in the flush of President Obama's first months in office, confident that he UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768492 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768492 Date: 08/31/2015 was so strong and Netanyahu so weak that if it came to a showdown, Netanyahu would cave. The Israeli leader coolly bided his time, dickering about procedural issues while Obama got weaker politically by the month. Netanyahu finally agreed in November to a temporary moratorium on new settlements -- but it excluded Jerusalem. The administration should have seen what was coming. In retrospect, it seems clear that the step-by-step approach was a mistake: Constructive ambiguity, in this case, proved destructive. It allowed the Israeli right wing to perpetuate the idea that it could have it all -- obtain a peace deal without making concessions on Jerusalem. And it allowed Netanyahu to continue his straddle. Jerusalem is the hardest issue of all in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiation, and for that reason, would-be peacemakers have wanted to save it for last. But this month's crisis makes that strategic waffling impossible. Thanks to the Israeli right, the Jerusalem issue is joined. What's needed now is for Obama to announce that when negotiations begin, the United States will state its views about Jerusalem and other key issues -- sketching the outlines of the deal that most Israelis and Palestinians want. If Netanyahu refuses to play, then we have a real crisis in U.S.-Israeli relations. davidignatius_@washpost.corn Post a Comment View all comments that have been posted about this article.

Photograph: Peter Muhly/AFP/Getty Images The final part of the Northern Ireland devolution deal was put in place today, giving the province its first justice minister since the Troubles erupted four decades ago. Nationalists and unionists in the Stormont parliament voted together to create the new justice ministry, completing the last act of the Good Friday agreement. But there was discord inside the Stormont parliament after the Conservatives' allies in Northern Ireland, the Ulster Unionists, and their 18-strong assembly team, voted against the move. Despite an 11th hour intervention by David Cameron imploring the UUP to vote yes, the party refused to back the historic measure. The party's stance puts Cameron in a difficult position: he is in favour of the devolution of justice to Belfast, but his electoral pact with the UUP risks exposing him to criticism that a Conservative government could not claim to be an "honest broker" when there are disagreements between the parties at Stormont. Today's vote came just before 5pm, when 88 assembly members from Sinn Fein and the DUP joined the SDLP and smaller parties to back the transfer of policing and judicial powers to Belfast. But the UUP resisted pressure — from, among others, former US president George Bush — to support the measure. Speaking on the assembly floor, Sir Reg Empey, the UUP leader, said his party had voted no "as a democratic political UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768500 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768500 Date: 08/31/2015 party pledged to making power-sharing work in an inclusive manner for all the people of Northern Ireland, and we exercise our rights refusing to bow to the blackmail and bullying to which we have been subjected in recent weeks." The deputy first minister, Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, earlier denounced the UUP stance, claiming it was intended to embarrass the DUP. "The UUP declared last night that they will not support this resolution," McGuinness told the assembly. "That saddens and disappoints me. They are opposed in my view to the transfer for cynical party political reasons." In a statement after the vote, Gordon Brown praised the parties which backed the deal. "Today the politics of progress have finally replaced the politics of division in Northern Ireland," the prime minister said. "The completion of devolution, supported by all sections of the community in Northern Ireland, is the final end to decades of strife. It sends the most powerful message to those who would return to violence: that democracy and tolerance will prevail. "The courage and leadership of the parties who voted to complete devolution at Stormont will be noted around the world." The Conservatives welcomed the vote, without mentioning the UUP's rejection of the move. A Tory spokesman said: "We welcome the fact that devolution of policing and justice is going to happen. We wanted all four parties to be involved and for it to be decided by local politicians." But the Liberal Democrats called on Cameron to "clarify the position of his Tory-UUP alliance on the devolution of policing and justice powers". Alistair Carmichael, their spokesman on Northern Ireland, said: "With the UUP saying one thing, and the Tories saying the complete opposite, voters will struggle to understand what exactly joint Tory-UUP candidates stand for. What we're seeing is the Tories in complete disarray. When it takes George Bush to step in as the voice of reason, it's clear that David Cameron has dug himself a very big hole." Carmichael added: "This raises serious questions about David Cameron's judgment. If he can't manage to steer a straight course in opposition, how on earth would he cope as prime minister?" Earlier there was acrimony in the Great Hall at Stormont when a victims' campaigner attempted to serve a civil writ against McGuinness. Willie Frazer of the group Families Acting for Innocent Relatives threw the legal document in McGuinness's direction after the deputy first minister refused to take it off him. Frazer is taking a civil action in Belfast high court against the Sinn Fein MP because he alleges McGuinness directed the IRA's campaign during the Troubles. The south Armagh unionist's father was shot dead by the IRA. The FAIR spokesman said he had chosen yesterday because the DUP "had betrayed me and other victims" by agreeing to devolve policing and justice powers. Frazer predicted that Sinn Fein would exercise a major influence over the police and judiciary even though the centrist, non-sectarian Alliance party leader, David Ford, will be the first justice minister. Frazer said: "I am very disappointed in the DUP because for years they said the things victims wanted to hear and now they have done a complete somersault. All along they told me that Sinn Fein would never get their hands on policing and justice but they have a say. Mr Ford is answerable to the executive and that means the deputy first minister, Martin McGuinness. That is why the only action left to me is a civil action. I feel very let down by a number of DUP people." The DUP will suffer at the polls for this U-turn, Frazer predicted. rintable version end to a friend IL hare i ontact us r• er I smaller Email Close Recipient's email address Your first name Your surname Add a note (optional) [Send] Your IP address will be logged Share Close • • Digq reddit UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768500 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768500 Date: 08/31/2015 • • • • • • • • Google Bookmarks Twitter delicious StumbleUpon Newsvine livejournal Facebook Mixx it!

I look forward to discussing. Gates Says U.S. Lacks Strategy to Curb Iran's Nuclear Drive By DAVID E. SANGER and THOM SHANKER Published: April 18, 2010 WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has warned in a secret three-page memorandum to top White House officials that the United States does not have an effective long-range policy for dealing with Iran's steady progress toward nuclear capability, according to government officials familiar with the document. Several officials said the highly classified analysis, written in January to President Obama's national security adviser, Gen. James L. Jones, touched off an intense effort inside the Pentagon, the White House and the intelligence agencies to develop new options for Mr. Obama. They include a revised set of military alternatives, still under development, to be considered should diplomacy and sanctions fail to force Iran to change course. Officials familiar with the memo's contents would describe only portions dealing with strategy and policy, and not sections that apparently dealt with secret operations against Iran, or how to deal with Persian Gulf allies. One senior official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the memo, described the document as "a wake-up call." But White House officials dispute that view, insisting that for 15 months they had been conducting detailed planning for many possible outcomes regarding Iran's nuclear program. In an interview on Friday, General Jones declined to speak about the memorandum. But he said: "On Iran, we are doing what we said we were going to do. The fact that we don't announce publicly our entire strategy for the world to see doesn't mean we don't have a strategy that anticipates the full range of contingencies - we do." But in his memo, Mr. Gates wrote of a variety of concerns, including the absence of an effective strategy should Iran choose the course that many government and outside analysts consider likely: Iran could assemble all the major parts it needs for a nuclear weapon - fuel, designs and detonators - but stop just short of assembling a fully operational weapon. In that case, Iran could remain a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty while becoming what strategists call a "virtual" nuclear weapons state. According to several officials, the memorandum also calls for new thinking about how the United States might contain Iran's power if it decided to produce a weapon, and how to deal with the possibility that fuel or weapons could be obtained by one of the terrorist groups Iran has supported, which officials said they considered to be a less-likely possibility. Mr. Gates has never mentioned the memo in public. His spokesman, Geoff Morrell, declined comment on specifics in the document, but issued a statement on Saturday saying, "The secretary believes the president and his national security team have spent an extraordinary amount of time and effort considering and preparing for the full range of contingencies with respect to Iran." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768505 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768505 Date: 08/31/2015 Pressed on the administration's ambiguous phrases until now about how close the United States was willing to allow. Iran's program to proceed, a senior administration official described last week in somewhat clearer terms that there was a line Iran would not be permitted to cross. The official said that the United States would ensure that Iran would not "acquire a nuclear capability," a step Tehran could get to well before it developed a sophisticated weapon. "That includes the ability to have a breakout," he said, using the term nuclear specialists apply to a country that suddenly renounces the nonproliferation treaty and uses its technology to build a small arsenal. Nearly two weeks ago, Mr. Obama, in an interview with The New York Times, was asked about whether he saw a difference between a nuclear-capable Iran and one that had a fully developed weapon. "I'm not going to parse that right now," he said. But he noted that North Korea was considered a nuclear-capable state until it threw out inspectors and, as he said, "became a self-professed nuclear state." Mr. Gates has alluded to his concern that intelligence agencies might miss signals that Iran was taking the final steps toward producing a weapon. Last Sunday on the NBC News program "Meet the Press," he said: "If their policy is to go to the threshold but not assemble a nuclear weapon, how do you tell that they have not assembled? I don't actually know how you would verify that." But he cautioned that Iran had run into production difficulties, and he said, "It's going slow slower than they anticipated, but they are moving in that direction." Mr. Gates has taken a crucial role in formulating the administration's strategy, and he has been known over his career to issue stark warnings against the possibility of strategic surprise. Some officials said his memo should be viewed in that light: as a warning to a relatively new president that the United States was not adequately prepared. He wrote the memo after Iran had let pass a 2009 deadline set by Mr. Obama to respond to his offers of diplomatic engagement. Both that process and efforts to bring new sanctions against Iran have struggled. Administration officials had hoped that the revelation by Mr. Obama in September that Iran was building a new uranium enrichment plant inside a mountain near Qum would galvanize other nations against Iran, but the reaction was muted. The next three months were spent in what proved to be fruitless diplomatic talks with Iran over a plan to swap much of its low-enriched uranium for fuel for a medical reactor in Tehran. By the time Mr. Gates wrote his memo, those negotiations had collapsed. Mr. Gates's memo appears to reflect concerns in the upper echelons of the Pentagon and the military that the White House did not have a well-prepared series of alternatives in place in case all the diplomatic steps finally failed. In fact, just before Mr. Gates issued his warning, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, wrote an official "chairman's guidance" to his staff saying that while any military option would have "limited results" against Iran's nuclear facilities, preparations needed to be stepped up. "Should the president call for military options, we must have them ready," the admiral wrote. Administration officials testifying before a Senate committee last week made it clear that those preparations were under way. So did General Jones. "The president has made it clear from the beginning of this administration that we need to be prepared for every possible contingency," he said in the interview. "That is what we have done from day one, while successfully building a coalition of nations to isolate Iran and pressure it to live up to its obligations." At the same hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Burgess Jr., director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Gen. James E. Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and one of the military's most experienced officers on nuclear matters, said that Iran could produce bomb-grade fuel for at least one nuclear weapon within a year, but that it would probably need two to five years to manufacture a workable atomic bomb.

First of all, their friendship with the US and respect for you was much in evidence on all levels. Most of the cabinet turned out for the reception that the amb hosted for me. The FM went out his way to tell me what it meant to get a call from you when he assumed his position (he's hoping to have a few mins with you in Tallin). As far as Lith has to go, it has achieved some remarkable achievements for Eastern Eur. They have a female president, Speaker, Finance minister and def. minister. I had a good meeting with the President and thanked her for Lith commitment to our collective efforts in afghanistan. They run the smallest PRT and, despite a tough economy, have done everything we've asked in terms of additional support since the surge. The meeting with the Speaker and top women members of the parl'nt was yet another reminder of your inspiration over many years. One of the women was at the Vienna W conf and said she's in politics today because of you. Another read about safe birthing kits in your book and was inspired to send several thousand to Afghanistan. They are eager for more opportunities to work together. I came primarily to launch the new working group on gender that we and Lith are co-chairing. There was much gratitude for our leadership with them in the Community of Democracies. The meaning of democracy is so strong for people who had to stuggle for it more recently. They really feel this is an important time to renew the understanding of democ, particularly after the bruising it underwent over the last several years. We had terrific turnout from other countries, many comments about you and references to Beijing and Iceland W conf. (So many people told me the impact Vienna and Iceland had on them). We left our meeting with many commitments for future concrete projects that will be undertaken. There is great hope that you will be in Krakow in July for the CD ministerial. The Lith CD coordinator headed to Belgium the next day for an EU meeting. He told me he got a very positive response for our gender initiative and that Ashton was particularly excited about it. The EU is locating their new gender institute in Lithuania and they are ager for our help. The Dutch minister who came said the outcome of their election in June will say much about the nature of their ongoing commitment in Afg. Lastly, I arrived shortly after the Polish tragedy. There is a very close relationship between the 2 countries and their grief was palpable. Jolenta Kwasniewska and several other Poles came to the CD meeting. She told me that they lost so many of their top leaders across all sectors of society, incl several top women leaders. Jolenta' foundation has been very active in advancing women's progress in Poland as well as working in other countries.

Sid http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joe-wilson/emcourage-and-consequence_b_492602.html?view=print March 9, 2010 Joseph C. Wilson Courage and Consequence: Less Memoir Than Hoax Karl Rove's book Courage and Consequence is less memoir than hoax. The chapters that relate to the CIA leak scandal are yet another attempt to deflect attention from his central role in the betrayal of Valerie Plame Wilson's identity as a covert CIA officer. His distortions and fabrications are consistent with his approach throughout this sordid and criminal affair. Wasting his opportunity to tell the truth, he offers absolutely nothing new, and his selective use of facts and quotes are a transparent effort to continue his long campaign to confuse people, unfortunately consistent with his past behavior. His book is a pathetically weak defense of the disastrous policies pursued by the Bush administration, involving our country in a war of choice based on false intelligence and badly tarnishing the good name of the United States of America. Nothing in Karl Rove's book refutes those facts. His book, however, is illuminating in further exposing his political methods, especially his reliance on personal insults, not simply towards Valerie and myself, but also towards all those who opposed his unprincipled behavior. If any additional proof to the irrefutable historical record were needed, Rove's book demonstrates once again the actions of a vindictive, angry and petty man. Karl Rove betrayed his nation; now he has betrayed history.

Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionist party (DUP), who were barely on speaking terms a few years ago, joined forces with the nationalist SDLP in the Northern Ireland assembly to endorse a deal on policing, hammered out last month. The justice minister will be appointed on 12 April and is likely to be David Ford, the leader of the centrist Alliance party. The breakthrough was marred by a row when the Ulster Unionist party (UUP), which governed Northern Ireland for five decades until the imposition of direct rule in 1972, voted against the deal. Sir Reg Empey, the UUP leader, who recently formed an electoral pact with the Conservatives, said he had voted no because his party did not believe that the four-party power-sharing executive was functioning properly. Empey, the minister for employment and learning, said: "We exercise our rights, refusing to bow to the blackmail and bullying to which we have been subjected in recent weeks." The UUP hit out after facing intense pressure from London and the US to fall in behind David Cameron, who has backed devolution of the criminal justice system. Gordon Brown phoned Empey shortly before today's vote, while former US president George Bush pleaded with Cameron last week to persuade the UUP to support the deal. Empey's unionist rivals, the DUP, who have overtaken the UUP in recent years, focused on what could happen after the vote. The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, who managed to persuade all but one of his 36 assembly members to back the devolution deal, said: "The move is about completing and maintaining devolution, it is about whether we move forward together as a society." The vote secures an extra £800m for policing and justice that Brown promised the assembly if they backed the transfer. It also adds an extra 1,200 police officers. The prime minister praised the main parties for reaching the deal on an issue that almost broke the power-sharing government. He said: "Today the politics of progress have finally replaced the politics of division in Northern Ireland. The completion of devolution, supported by all sections of the community in Northern Ireland, is the final end to decades of strife. It sends the most powerful message to those who would return to violence: that democracy and tolerance will prevail. The courage and leadership of the parties who voted to complete devolution at Stormont will be noted around the world."

She said: "I commend the Northern Ireland Assembly for its affirmation of the Hillsborough Agreement and its endorsement of the devolution of policing and justice, an important step in ensuring a peaceful and prosperous future for all of the people of Northern Ireland for generations to come." Irish president Mary McAleese also hailed the move. "Today's vote in the Northern Ireland assembly represents an eloquent statement of confidence in the political institutions established under the Good Friday Agreement," she said. Matt Baggott, chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, welcomed the vote as a step forward. "Devolution will strengthen our service. It will help to ensure communities receive the policing service that not only they deserve, but that we are committed to delivering. "The financial package is also welcomed ... it will help us deal with those who are living in the darkness of the past and who have tried to disrupt this process and the lives of our community." But there was discord inside Stormont after the UUP and their 17-strong assembly team voted against the move. Martin McGuinness, Sinn Fein's deputy first minister, denounced the UUP stance, claiming they were doing it to embarrass the DUP. "The UUP declared last night [Monday] that they will not support this resolution," McGuinness told the assembly. "That saddens and disappoints me. They are opposed in my view to the transfer for cynical party political reasons." He stressed that no single party could control the justice department. The UUP no-vote will put pressure on the Tories, who will campaign with their allies in the general election, having taken opposing sides on the biggest vote since the DUP and Sinn Fein started sharing power in 2007. Cameron insisted that the Tories had played a constructive role, saying he would maintain his alliance with the UUP. "We want to move Northern Ireland politics forward — to focus on the issues that affect people in their everyday lives — rather than remaining stuck in the past. That is why we remain totally committed to bringing national, mainstream UK politics to Northern Ireland and to ending its semi-detached political status." Cameron's remarks were designed, in part, to reassure the White House, which fears a UUP no-vote could harden unionist opinion against power-sharing. Hardline Unionists turned on the DUP tonight. Jim Allister, the former DUP MEP, who now leads the breakaway Traditional Unionist Voice, claimed his former party had "rolled over in triple somersaults for Sinn Fein". He also suggested the new justice minister would be a "pointless puppet keeping the seat warm for Sinn Fein". Prior to the vote the widow of the first Police Service of Northern Ireland officer to be murdered by dissident republicans urged all parties to back the devolution of policing and justice powers. Kate Carroll, whose husband, Stephen, was killed by a Continuity IRA sniper, said in an appeal to the UUP: "It is heartbreaking that I have to get on this morning to please ask the politicians to get on with their job."

Study Says By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN and NEIL MacFARQUHAR As much as half the food aid sent to Somalia is diverted from needy people to a web of corrupt contractors, radical Islamist militants and local United Nations staff members, according to a new Security Council report. The report, which has not yet been made public but was shown to The New York Times by diplomats, outlines a host of problems so grave that it recommends that Secretary General Ban Ki-moon open an independent investigation into the World Food Program's Somalia operations. It suggests that the program rebuild the food distribution system — which serves at least 2.5 million people and whose aid was worth about $485 million in 21309 — from scratch to break what it describes as a corrupt cartel of Somali distributors. In addition to the diversion of food aid, regional Somali authorities are collaborating with pirates who hijack ships along the lawless coast, the report says, and Somali government ministers have auctioned off diplomatic visas for trips to Europe to the highest bidders, some of whom may have been pirates or insurgents. Somali officials denied that the visa problem was widespread, and officials for the World Food Program said they had not yet seen the report but would investigate its conclusions once it was presented to the Security Council next Tuesday. The report comes as Somalia's transitional government is preparing for a major military offensive to retake the capital, Mogadishu, and combat an Islamist insurgency with connections to Al Claeda. The United States is providing military aid, as the United Nations tries to roll back two decades of anarchy in the country. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768514 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768514 Date: 08/31/2015 But it may be an uphill battle. According to the report, Somalia's security forces "remain ineffective, disorganized and corrupt — a composite of independent militias loyal to senior government officials and military officers who profit from the business of war." One American official recently conceded that Somalia's "best hope" was the government's new military chief, a 60-year-old former artillery officer who, until a few months ago, was assistant manager at a McDonald's in Germany. The report's investigators, part of the Monitoring Group on Somalia, were originally asked to track violations of the United Nations arms embargo on Somalia, but the mandate was expanded. Several of the report's authors have received death threats, and the United Nations recently relocated them from Kenya to New York for safety reasons. Possible aid obstructions have been a nettlesome topic for Somalia over the past year and have contributed to delays in aid shipments by the American government and recent suspensions of food programs in some areas by United Nations officials. The report singles out the World Food Program, the largest aid agency in the crisis-racked country, as particularly flawed. "Some humanitarian resources, notably food aid, have been diverted to military uses," the report said. "A handful of Somali contractors for aid agencies have formed a cartel and become important power brokers — some of whom channel their profits, or the aid itself, directly to armed opposition groups." These allegations of food aid diversions first surfaced last year. The World Food Program has consistently denied finding any proof of malfeasance and said that its own recent internal audit found no widespread abuse. "We have not yet seen the U.N. Somalia Monitoring Group report," the World Food Program's deputy executive director, Amir Abdulla, said Tuesday. "But we will investigate all of the allegations, as we have always done in the past if questions have been raised about our operations." The current report's investigators question how independent that past audit was, and called for a new outside investigation of the United Nations agency. "We have to tell these folks that you cannot go on like this — we know what you are doing, you can't fool us anymore, so you better stop," said President Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, who was at the United Nations, where his country holds the presidency of the Security Council this month. The report also charges that Somali officials are selling spots on trips to Europe and that many of the people who are presented as part of an official government entourage are actually pirates or members of militant groups. The report says that Somali officials use their connections to foreign governments to get visas and travel documents for people who would not otherwise be able to travel abroad and that many of these people then disappear into Europe and do not come back. "Somali ministers, members of Parliament, diplomats and 'freelance brokers' have transformed access to foreign visas into a growth industry, matched possibly only by piracy," selling visas for $10,000 to $1.5,000 each, the report said. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768514 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768514 Date: 08/31/2015 The report's authors estimate that dozens, if not hundreds of Somalis have gained access to Europe or beyond through this under-thetable visa business. Mohamed Osman Aden, a Somali diplomat in Kenya, said: "Maybe there's been one or two cases that have happened over the years. But these are just rumors. These allegations have been going around for years." The report also takes aim at some of Somalia's richest, most influential businessmen, Somalia's so-called money lords. One, Abdulkadir M. Nur, known as Eno, is married to a woman who plays a prominent role in a local aid agency that is supposed to verify whether food aid is actually delivered. That "potential loophole" could "offer considerable potential of large-scale diversion," the report said. The report accuses Mr. Nur of staging the hijacking of his own trucks and later selling the food. In an e-mail message, Mr. Nur said he had sent the investigators many documents that "showed very clearly that the gossip and rumors they are investigating are untrue," including the alleged hijacking or any link to insurgents. He said that his wife merely sat on the board of the local aid agency and that only "a tiny fraction" of the food he transported was designated for that aid agency. In September, Somalia's president, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, wrote a letter to Secretary General Ban, defending Mr. Nur as a "very conscientious, diligent and hard-working person" and saying that if it were not for the contractors, "many Somalis would have perished." The report questions why the World Food Program would steer 80 percent of its transportation contracts for Somalia, worth about $200 million, to three Somali businessmen, especially when they are suspected of connections to Islamist insurgents. The report says that fraud is pervasive, with about 30 percent of aid skimmed by local partners and local World Food Program personnel, io percent by the ground transporters and 5 to io percent by the armed group in control of the area. That means as much as half of the food never makes it to the people who desperately need it. In January, the United States halted tens of millions of dollars of aid shipments to southern Somalia because of fears of such diversions, and American officials believe that some American aid may have fallen into the hands of Al Shabab, the most militant of Somalia's insurgent groups. The report also said that the president of Puntland, a semiautonomous region in northern Somalia, had extensive ties to pirates in the area, who then funneled some of the money they made from hijacking ships to authorities. Puntland authorities could not be reached on Tuesday, but Mr. Aden, the Somali diplomat, dismissed the allegations, saying that the Puntland government had jailed more than io pirates and that it had not "received a penny from them." "It's unfortunate that this monitoring group thinks they can stick everything on the Somalis," he said. Jeffrey Gettleman reported from Gisenyi, Rwanda, and Neil MaeFarquhar from New York.

They took exactly the line that we hoped they would — seeing her message not as the U.S. intervening in politics, but, rather, as a very personal message from someone who cares deeply about Thailand. The writer even referred to the Secretary's autobiography. Thai Rath (leading Thai language daily), a commentary on Thai politics, April 16, referenced Secretary Clinton's video statement calling for a peaceful solution to Thailand's political crisis: "I would like to thank U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for making a request herself and on behalf of President Obama for the two opposing parties to return to the negotiating table so as to end their conflict. The short video message in which she mentioned Thailand was full of sincerity. She started by saying that she was making this request as "a long-standing friend of the Thai people" She referred to the Songkran festival which is the Thai New Year and said the opposing parties should consider this an opportunity for a new round of talks. She emphasized that violence cannot bring happiness and peace and that the opposing parties should talk in order to solve the problem. I believe Mrs. Clinton said this with sincerity. I have read a book in which she wrote about her brief visit to Thailand as First Lady several years ago and showed her goodwill toward the Thai people and Thailand in the book. During her most recent visit to Thailand last year, Mrs. Clinton gave an interview and expressed her opinion about Thai politics in the most amicable way. Normally, I do not quite approve of the U.S. because I think it often meddles with other countries' affairs. But I wholeheartedly agree with Secretary Clinton's request and would like to sincerely thank her for it." (To see the video, click here. To read the original article in Thai, click here.)

Bill Gates: "I believe GHI is an important next step — indeed a natural progression — in U.S. efforts to address health challenges around the world." "I am pleased that the GNI will include an increased emphasis on family health and the myriad of interventions that, when taken together and integrated in both approach and execution, make families healthier and societies more productive." "...the GHI aims for greater resources and a fresh approach to deploying resources in order to maximize health outcomes in as short a time as possible. It seeks to concentrate resources in order to better achieve scale in selected countries. And it utilizes targeted funding increases on diseases and conditions that have a devastating health and economic impact on countries yet are entirely preventable or treatable. These are laudable goals." "I'm pleased that the Global Health Initiative aims to build off of and improve successful American platforms such as PEPFAR and PMI, and that it will enable a more integrated approach to health both here in Washington, D.C., and on the ground — where we lose patients if we can't address their needs comprehensively." "Yet 9 million children dying unnecessarily each year is still 9 million too many.

As the only woman among the "Big Six" civil rights leaders, Dr. Height helped galvanize a movement that changed our country forever. She organized the "Wednesdays in Mississippi" meetings that brought black and white women together to find common ground and break down barriers. She never stopped fighting for what she knew was right. And through it all, she was always the best dressed woman in the room. We were blessed to know Dr. Height, to benefit from her grace, passion and wisdom, and to call her our friend. For decades, starting with the early days at the Children's Defense Fund, we worked with her, learned from her, and drew inspiration from her example. From the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to the Congressional Gold Medal, to the unveiling of a long-sought-after bust of Sojourner Truth in the United States Capitol, we had the privilege of helping honor Dr. Height and her accomplishments. Born before women had the right to vote, denied access to the college of her choice because of the color of her skin, and witness to nation divided, Dr. Height dedicated her life to the proposition that all Americans should have the opportunity to live up to their full God-given potential. Our nation is poorer for her loss but infinitely richer for the life she led, the progress she achieved, and the people she touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Height's family today, and with her many loving friends and colleagues.

Earlier in the day, former President Bill Clinton also told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that this should be a priority. "As the Administration prepares to present its supplemental appropriations request for Haiti; a top priority for recovery and long term reconstruction efforts in Haiti should include significant assistance to get Haitian children quickly back into the classroom," Lugar said.

Churkin took the floor in closed consultations to "begin an interactive dialogue" highlighting the drug problem caused by Afghanistan's unabated poppy cultivation, noting it fuels domestic corruption and finances the Taliban. Churkin's "dialogue" was triggered by a front-page Sunday New York Times article titled, "U.S. Turns a Blind Eye to Opium in Afghan Town." Following the adoption of the UMAMA mandate, the Russian Perm Rep took the floor in the chamber and noted Russian support for the new UNAMA mandate which has "satisfactory language in all regards.' Churkin emphasized that the Afghan-led policy of national reconciliation can not contradict past Council resolutions, including the sanctions regime, and reminded that all who join the reconciliation program must lay down arms, pledge to uphold the Afghan constitution and break ties with terrorist organizations. Churkin reminded Members that drugs represent a "direct threat to international peace and security" and noted that "recent media reports" state that ISM has "given up" on eradication. He called for ISAF to be "active and robust" in combating drugs.

Clegg is pushing off both Brown (still suffering from Obama's dismissive slights, unpopularity of Afghanistan, and, deepest factor, Bush poisoning of the well) and Cameron (making him an old Thatcherite, pro-US, anti-EU).

The Liberal Democrat leader said Barack Obama's administration "understood the world had changed" and the UK's leaders needed to end their "slavish" devotion to Washington. Mr Clegg also warned against "sabre-rattling" over Iran's nuclear ambitions and repeated his pledge to offer a referendum on the UK's continued membership of the European Union when the issue next arose. The Lib Dems have ruled out replacing Trident with a like-for-like system and Mr Clegg said the UK should consider "not having a continuous at sea deterrent". In a speech to the Foreign Press Association in London, Mr Clegg said it was time to challenge the "conventional wisdom" that had lasted since the Suez crisis about the UK's relationship with the US. He said: "I think it's sometimes rather embarrassing the way Conservative and Labour politicians talk in this kind of slavish way about the special relationship. If you speak to hard-nosed folk in Washington they think 'it's a good relationship but it's not the special relationship'."

President Barack Obama The White House Janet Napolitano Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Hillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State Department of State Dear President Obama and Secretaries Napolitano and Clinton: I write to express my recognition, appreciation and concern for the difficult task you have to identify and ensure that states that sponsor and harbor terrorist networks and organizations are unable to do grave harm to our nation and people. The urgency of this matter, as demonstrated by the attempt on Christmas Day to destroy a U.S. passenger airliner, requires you to take quick decisions in the immediate term to protect U.S. citizens. Over the coming days and weeks, however, I encourage a more detailed and robust review of information and intelligence so that individuals, organizations and nations that have been placed on "watch" lists for political or reasons unrelated to terrorism — or whose circumstances have changed over time — are removed from such lists. This cleansing and updating of information is critical so that U.S. attention, resources and energy are focused on where threats genuinely reside, rather than squandered where there is no documented threat. One such State, for example, that should be removed from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list and other similar "watch" lists is Cuba. The Pentagon, U.S. intelligence agencies or the State Department's Office on Counter-Terrorism have not identified Cuba as a threat to U.S. security. It is not engaged in nuclear proliferation or the production of biological or chemical weapons. Shopworn arguments regarding relationships with terrorist groups, such as the ETA, FARC or ELN, run contrary to fact. The individual ETA members who reside in Cuba are there as a result of a 1984 agreement between Spain and Cuba to keep them on the island. As Spain now assumes the presidency of the European Union, it is actively encouraging EU members to ease restrictions and open up expanded relations with Cuba — hardly the action of a country concerned about a terrorist attack being launched from Cuba. The Cuban government engaged the Colombian guerrilla group, the ELN, in negotiations at the request of and with the full and active engagement of Colombian President Uribe and his government. Cuba also made the same offer to the FARC, at the request of the Uribe Administration, even though the FARC M11 SiATIOWAY !■141NTEE113N Finec.6)FiEitrig, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768601 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768601 Date: 08/31/2015 and Cuba are long-time ideological antagonists. In 2009, President Uribe re-established full relations with Cuba, opening an embassy and sending an ambassador to serve on the island. Further, there has never been any accusation, not even by U.S. authorities, that Colombian guerrilla organizations have ever used Cuba as a site for terrorist or insurgent activities. There are several individuals living in Cuba who are wanted for crimes, including murder, in the United States. However, these are criminal activities, unrelated to terrorism. Due to more than five decades of diplomatic isolation, the U.S. has no extradition treaty or any other law enforcement or judicial mechanism set up with Cuba that would allow for their transfer back to the United States to face trial. As you are aware, many of our closest friends and allies in Latin America and elsewhere will not extradite or return individuals indicted for crimes in the United States, in general because of objections to the U.S. death penalty, so this is not a justification for a nation to appear on the terrorism list. The United States has many long-standing political and diplomatic problems with Cuba, but none of them relate to terrorism. In fact, engaging, collaborating and enlisting Cuba in the fight against international terrorism would be to the advantage of U.S. national security. As noted, this is but one example of a country that should be removed from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism; no doubt, there are other individuals and organizations that appear on other lists that also merit serious review and possible removal. I encourage you to carry out a thorough and judicious review of such lists, purge from them nations and organizations that appear due to political and. policy reasons unrelated to the threat of terrorism, and restore integrity to these watch lists so that our own precautionary measures and our coordination with international intelligence and law enforcement agencies may be used to maximum 'effect and the enhanced protection of our nation and citizens. Thank you for your serious attention to these recommendations. Please know that I would welcome any opportunity to discuss these matters in more detail with you. 44,. incerely 1110. James P.

April 22, 2010 Op-Ed Columnist Obama Backs Down on Sudan By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF JUBA, Sudan Until he reached the White House, Barack Obama repeatedly insisted that the United States apply more pressure on Sudan so as to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe in Darfur and elsewhere. Yet, as president, Mr. Obama and his aides have caved, leaving Sudan gloating at American weakness. Western monitors, Sudanese journalists and local civil society groups have all found this month's Sudanese elections to be deeply flawed - yet Mr. Obama's special envoy for Sudan, Maj. Gen. Scott Gration, pre-emptively defended the elections, saying they would be "as free and as fair as possible." The White House showed only a hint more backbone with a hurried reference this week to "an essential step" with "serious irregularities." President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan - the man wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity in Darfur - has been celebrating. His regime calls itself the National Congress Party, or N.C.P., and he was quoted in Sudan as telling a rally in the Blue Nile region: "Even America is becoming an N.C.P. member. No one is against our will." Memo to Mr. Obama: When a man who has been charged with crimes against humanity tells the world that America is in his pocket, it's time to review your policy. Perhaps the Obama administration caved because it considers a flawed election better than no election. That's a reasonable view, one I share. It's conceivable that Mr. Bashir could have won a quasi-fair election - oil revenues have manifestly raised the standard of living in parts of Sudan - and the campaigning did create space for sharp criticism of the government. It's also true that Sudan has been behaving better in some respects. The death toll in Darfur is hugely reduced, and the government is negotiating with rebel groups there. The Sudanese government gave me a visa and travel permits to Darfur, allowing me to travel legally and freely. The real game isn't, in fact, Darfur or the elections but the maneuvering for a possible new civil war. The last north-south civil war in Sudan ended with a fragile peace in 2005, after some two million deaths. The peace agreement provided for a referendum, scheduled to take place in January, in which southern Sudanese will decide whether to secede. They are expected to vote overwhelmingly to form a separate country. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768619 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768619 Date: 08/31/2015 Then the question becomes: will the north allow South Sudan to separate? The south holds the great majority of the country's oil, and it's difficult to see President Bashir allowing oil fields to walk away. "If the result of the referendum is independence, there is going to be war - complete war," predicts Mudawi Ibrahim Adam, one of Sudan's most outspoken human rights advocates. He cautions that America's willingness to turn a blind eye to election-rigging here increases the risk that Mr. Bashir will feel that he can get away with war. "They're very naïve in Washington," Mr. Mudawi said. "They don't understand what is going on." On the other hand, a senior Sudanese government official, Ghazi Salahuddin, told me unequivocally in Khartoum, the nation's capital, that Sudan will honor the referendum results. And it's certainly plausible that north and south will muddle through and avoid war, for both sides are exhausted by years of fighting. Here in Juba, the South Sudan capital, I met Winnie Wol, 26, who fled the civil war in 1994 after a militia from the north attacked her village to kill, loot, rape and burn. Her father and many relatives were killed, but she escaped and made her way to Kenya - and eventually resettled as a refugee in California. She now lives in Olathe, Kan., and she had returned for the first time to Sudan to visit a mother and sisters she had last seen when she was a little girl. Ms. Wol, every bit the well-dressed American, let me tag along for her journey back to her village of Nyamlell, 400 miles northwest of Juba. The trip ended by a thatch-roof hut that belonged to her mother, who didn't know she was coming - so no one was home. Ms. Wol was crushed. Then there was a scream and a woman came running. It was Ms. Wol's mother, somehow recognizing her, and they flew into each other's arms. To me, it felt like a peace dividend. Yet that peace is fragile, and Ms. Wol knows that the northern forces may come back to pillage again. "I don't want war," she said, "but I don't think they will allow us to separate." My own hunch is that the north hasn't entirely decided what to do, and that strong international pressure can reduce the risk of another savage war. If President Obama is ever going to find his voice on Sudan, it had better be soon.

Faced with government incompetence and corruption, people are rebelling. By Max Blumenthal Dec 4, 2002 I The body of another murdered woman was found late last month in the Mexican industrial hub of Ciudad Juarez, dumped behind some shrubs in the squalor of the Anapra neighborhood, a ramshackle hodgepodge of corrugated tin and cardboard shacks on the sludge-washed banks of the Rio Grande. Her hands had been tied, and the evidence suggested she had been raped. The body was so badly decomposed that investigators calculated that she'd been dead for seven months. However horrific the details, they were numbing in their familiarity. The body of a woman who had died in similar circumstances was found in the same dusty lot a couple of months earlier. The bodies of eight women were found in a lot not far away a little more than a year ago. So many women have been murdered here in the past 10 years that there is no reliable count. Most experts place it close to 325, an average of 32 a year, nearly three every month. At least 90 of the deaths are believed to be the work of one or more serial killers. Hundreds more women have simply vanished. Like so many of the others, the woman whose body was found in late October had probably come to Juarez from the poverty of southern Mexico to work for about $10 a day in one of the many foreign-owned assembly plants known as maquiladoras that sprouted up in Juarez after the North American Free Trade Agreement was signed in 1994. And like them, too, her body was unclaimed in death and buried alone and anonymous. Such death has become a way of life here. So, too, with the fear and paranoia that rise in such a climate. Nobody knows who is doing the killings, and the mystery only seems to deepen. Arrests made by local authorities have produced allegations of torture, witness tampering and frame-ups -- but no convictions. Most here believe that the killer or killers must have enormous clout. Perhaps, some say, the killers are narcotrafficantes disposing of witnesses. Perhaps they are the sons of the wealthy and powerful indulging in sick sex. Perhaps they are cultists whose members come from the highest levels of government and finance. The theories differ, but a common assumption is that arrests made thus far are only a smokescreen for an historically opaque and corrupt government that will protect its dark secrets at any cost. One thing seems clear: The murders arise from a social landscape that has been transformed by global economic forces. Where Ciudad Juarez was once a small, sleepy desert outpost just across the border from El Paso, Texas, the population in the past decade has exploded to 1.2 million people, many of them drawn by the lure of the maquiladoras. The tides of people have overwhelmed the ability of the city to absorb them, overwhelmed health services, social services and law enforcement. Free-trade advocates once promised that NAFTA would transform Juarez into the City of the Future -- and UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 they have been proven right in a way they never could have imagined. Today, Juarez still has the feel of the lawless Old West, but with a grim 21st century edge. Despite promises of swift justice from Mexican President Vicente Fox and Chihuahua Gov. Patricio Martinez, they have yet to take up offers of assistance from the FBI; bureau agents in Texas have suggested that official corruption is hindering efforts to stop the murders. Chihuahua state investigators have seemingly adopted a "don't ask, don't tell" policy towards Juarez's homicides, fostering an atmosphere of impunity and pervasive fear. Foreign corporations operating in Juarez that have employed many of the murdered women largely deny that such an atmosphere exists. But in this postmodern urban culture, where the very concept of community has broken down, many bereaved family members and local activists have begun to take matters into their own hands, investigating the murders and speaking out even if it means threats and other reprisals. Evangeline Arce's daughter, Silvia, a street vendor, disappeared on Nov. 3, 1998. Since that day, she said, the authorities have done little to investigate. "Two days after my daughter disappeared, I went to the police and filed a report," the mother says in Spanish, her face flaring with anger. "They promised me prompt action but when I checked back a week later, the Missing persons report was never filed and the investigation had not even begun. When they finally got witnesses together, none of them would talk because they were too afraid." Even as Mexico continues to make strides toward becoming an open and democratic society, the epidemic of rape and murder here has exposed the heavy residue of its corrupt and authoritarian political legacy as well as the contradictions of its efforts at economic expansion. To understand the magnitude of the breakdown, think of the sniper rampage in the Washington area this fall that left 10 people dead and three wounded. Imagine that Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose held a press conference and asked local citizens to catch the sniper themselves because local police were not up to the task and the federal government was not being helpful; imagine that the federal government charged that local officials in Montgomery County were complicit in the killings and impeding the investigation. Chaos would ensue, certainly. But then, multiply. the number of victims by 30, by 40, by 50, or more. That's Juarez today. The jumbled, exhaust-choked commercial core of this city has grown wildly in the wake of NAFTA, adding modern shopping malls, condominiums and expansive boulevards. The population is growing at twice the rate of the national average; it is expected to nearly double by 2010, to 2 million people. Many of them directly or indirectly rely on the 300 or so maquiladoras for their livelihoods. To accommodate the new army of workers, the city has given birth to entirely new sectors. The Campestre Juarez is a luxurious conglomerate of gated communities, with a main gate that's a life-size replica of Paris' Arc de Triomphe. Nearby, many of the maquiladoras are situated along the Avenida de la Industria. Though the assembly-line workers sometimes can be glimpsed behind a plate glass window in aqua-blue uniforms, there usually is little sign of any activity behind the maquiladoras' featureless walls. Most of the new residents are poor, or on the brink of poverty, and they live in Anapra or another of the grim, violent colonias populares on the outskirts of town. In those colonies, residents usually live without sanitation, running water, electricity or paved roads. Avenida Manuel Gomez Morin is the pothole-riddled six-lane avenue that ties these varied worlds together. Sitio Colosio Valle, a medium-sized strip mall, stands on a corner of the avenue at the gateway to the industrial sector. It is fronted by a vast parking lot and inside are various clothing outlets and boutiques. By day, the lot bustles as customers scurry back and forth, hauling their purchases to their cars -- a sight similar to any mall in the suburban United States. By night, however, traffic tapers off, stores lock up and the mall's lot becomes dark and desolate. Sitio Colosio Valle was where many of the slain and missing women were last seen. In the mall's parking lot, Braulio Rosas, a 40-year-old security guard, leans against the door of a giant Nike outlet. Inside the store, under bright fluorescent lights, employees frantically check inventory and scramble to close up. "A lot of girls were picked up here," Roses says in a voice of calm resignation. "But really, it's the girls' fault. It's because even though they weren't putas, [prostitutes] you know, they were more like fad/es [easy women]. They didn't have to get into those cars if they didn't want to." Rosas sounds cynical, but blaming the victims is by no means an aberration in Juarez. Similar notions have been offered by officials like Suly Ponce, the former Chihuahua special prosecutor in charge of the murdered women's cases. "Sometimes there are cases that a girl meets some person, he strikes up a relationship with her, they drink ... and it ends violently," she told the Washington Post in 2000, before she was promoted to a job in the governor's office. "It's difficult to know." A handful of the women found murdered since 1993 were indeed confirmed as prostitutes. But the truth is that a large majority of the missing or murdered women were hardworking, young, poor and for the most part socially conservative. Most had migrated to Juarez from Mexico's depressed south to work in the maquiladoras, sometimes arriving alone and with little means of contacting their families back home. The maquiladoras, run by companies like Delphi and RCA Thomson, prefer to hire young women for assembly-line jobs. An entry-level assembly-line worker makes minimum wage, about $2 an hour. With experience, pay can rise to as much as $2,50 an hour -- and compared to wages in Guerrero or Chiapas, that's good money. But in Juarez, the women are caught in an economic trap: Since the cost of living here is only slighter lower than in El Paso, the wages that seem so UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 high to new maquiladora workers actually ensure poverty. The workers can be hired and fired on the spot, with little pretext and no legal protection. And union activities are prohibited. Even for those who accept the conditions, security is elusive. More often now, the global companies that own maquiladoras are closing up shop and transferring operations to China to take advantage of lower taxes, investment subsidies and outrageously cheap labor. On June 29, Royal Philips Electronics announced it was moving its P.C. monitor manufacturing operations, at a cost of 900 jobs. On July 1, Scientific Atlanta fired 1,300 workers after shutting its plant down. According to the Nov. 5 New York Times, this trend has cost Juarez 287,000 jobs in the maquiladoras since their peak in October 2000. Not only does this slash and burn the economic base. There are brutal social reverberations, too. The city's health system, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, has reported 200,000 people falling from its list of insured after losing their company policies, according to a July article in La Prensa. Esther Chavez Cano, director of Juarez's only batteredwomen's shelter, Casa Amiga, said in a speech this summer that domestic violence cases had risen by 50 percent in July alone. The combination of poverty and a lack of social connections renders women on the assembly line powerless and virtually invisible. And that has made them easy prey. According to the El Paso Times, about a third of the approximately 325 slain women were employed by maquiladoras at the time of their murder. Given that few of the maquiladoras provide shuttle service to and from the colonies, the female workers often are preyed upon while walking through perilous places like Sitio Colosio Valle in the darkness of the early morning. At such an hour, the only nearby activity is that of bars and nightclubs closing up as male patrons filter into the street after a long night of drinking. Besides China's attractive economic climate, an intangible cause of maquiladora flight is Juarez's chronic violence. The effect is difficult to measure. Two companies in the city's industrial sector -- including TDK, the audio tape maker -- have posted banners on their factories reading: "STOP THE VIOLENCE. To Better Our City, Let's Unite." But most foreign companies are purely economic organisms governed entirely, it seems, by the dictates of efficiency. They have maintained a stunning silence even as their female workers are slaughtered. Consider the case of 17-year-old Claudia !vette Gonzalez. Her body was found in November 2001 along with seven others in an overgrown cotton field on Avenida Technologico, just blocks from Sitio Colosio Valle mall and across the street from the offices of the Association of Maquiladoras. She had worked on the assembly line for the Lear Corp., a Detroit-based auto-interior supplier. Lear has declined to publicly address Gonzalez's murder. Greg Bloom, editor of the Frontera Norte Sur -- an Internet news service that focuses on the U.S.-Mexico border -recalled a conversation with Gonzalez's mother, Josefina, in which she recounted her daughter's last day. In the darkness of the early morning, Gonzalez told him, Claudia set out for her job at Lear. When she arrived at work a few minutes late after missing her bus, Claudia lvette was promptly sent away under a policy barring tardy assembly-line workers from their shifts. A half-hour past when she usually would have returned home, her mother knew something was gravely wrong. Her worst fear -- the same nagging fear shared by so many Juarez mothers -- would soon be realized. Andrea Puchalsky, Lear's director of communications, acknowledged that the company has not made any public statements regarding Gonzalez's murder, nor has it enacted any proactive measures to protect employees from another wave of violence. "Adding security is not a question that relates to Lear," she said. "[Gonzalez's murder] did not happen on Lear property." When questioned about the murder and Lear policies, Puchalsky mentioned that a company memo was prepared for her with responses to possible questions. As to Lear's worker-lockout policy, which apparently put Gonzalez in a precarious situation the day of her abduction, Puchalsky declined to comment on whether Gonzalez was locked out or sent home from Lear's plant on her last day. "We have a policy for tardiness and she was tardy many times," Puchalsky said. "When she had arrived late to work her shift, she was not there in time to work her shift." When asked whether Lear's offices in the U.S. have a similar policy in which late employees are barred from working their shifts, Puchalsky reversed her earlier statement, vehemently denying that such a policy existed anywhere within Lear's operations. "There is not a policy to send a worker home after X number of tardy arrivals," she said. "Typically what we do is if there is someone arriving late on kind of a warning system, there might be a notification that 'the next time you arrive late, you have to take a day off ...' It's not a policy, though. There is no written policy like that throughout Lear Corp." The body of 17-year-old Lilia Alejandra Garcia was found mutilated just 300 feet from her maquiladora in February 2001, and since then her case has come to embody the incompetence and corruption of police and prosecutors from Ciudad Juarez to the state capital in Chihuahua City and south all the way to Mexico City. Garcia, the mother of a 5-month-old baby and a 2-year-old child, apparently was kidnapped just after she left work. She was held in captivity for a week, repeatedly beaten and raped, and then strangled. Then-prosecutor Suly Ponce told the Juarez newspaper El Diario that Garcia was the first woman of the year to be murdered and raped in this area of the city - even though two days before, the body of an unidentified woman was found naked just blocks away. When an FBI leak revealed witness testimony linking Lilia Garcia's killers to drug dealers, Suly Ponce dismissed it, calling it erroneous. She instead blamed workers in a circus across the street from the strip mall where Garcia was last seen. When circus managers claimed that Ponce offered them money to blame co-workers, she dropped the investigation. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 According to a July article in the El Paso Times, former Chihuahua state forensic chief Oscar Maynez Grijalva said Garcia was killed in a similar manner as three of the eight women found in the cotton field with Claudia 'vette Gonzalez in November 2001. Curiously, local authorities behaved just as evasively in that investigation as in Garcia's. When Gonzalez and the seven other women's bodies were found in November 2001, ex-Chihuahua Attorney General Arturo Gonzalez Rascon immediately fingered two local bus drivers as the culprits. Yet doubts about their guilt arose, especially after Grijalva -- who was Rascon's evidence expert at the time -- resigned from his post, citing pressure to fabricate evidence against them. And the head of a local prison was forced from office when he documented signs of torture on the accused men after they had returned from Rascon's office. Four months later, in February 2002, a search-and-rescue team combing the cotton field found Claudia lvette Gonzalez's overalls in a plastic bag, along with strands of hair and other crucial pieces of evidence that Rascon's investigators had failed to discover. In response, Rascon offered his opinion to the El Paso Times: "The state police have done a thoroughly professional job. I have no doubt about that." But on Oct. 28, DNA results revealed that Rascon's investigators had properly identified only one of the eight dead women -- Gonzalez. Stuck with a far more dubious task than catching one madman or replacing one feeble leader, Juarez's fractured civil society has been paralyzed. A cynical mood is palpable just by speaking to citizens on the street, who unanimously express fear and distrust of law-enforcement and government officials. Some local cops are just as cynical. "We can't just sit around in deserted places waiting for someone to drive up and dump bodies off," said one municipal police officer seated in an idling paddy wagon who refused to give his name for security reasons. "There are too few of us and the city's too big ... We don't get much support from the federal government. Judicially, we are not protected like cops in the U.S. Plus, the arms they give us are weak and the bulletproof vests don't really stop bullets. It's not just that, though. I have a young woman in my home so I can put myself in the place of the parents who have lost their daughters. But it's a question of society. We need their support and they need them to be more conscious if it is going to get any better here." The scope of the crime is so enormous, and there has been so little success in stopping it, that suspicion breeds on itself. The litany of theories as to who the killers are and what their motive might be suggests that Juarez has become a breeding ground for every imaginable predator. And yet, nobody knows. Nothing is certain. And that feeds the climate of paranoia. Garcia and Gonzalez's murders are rumored to be the work of a serial killer with possible ties to drug dealers. Yet Garcia was found with marks on her wrists that, according to local forensics experts, were identical to those made by police handcuffs. And upon the discovery of her daughter's overalls, Josefina Gonzalez told the El Paso Times that someone powerful was undoubtedly responsible for the murder. Many in Mexico's law enforcement community agree that a ring of rich men are behind some of the killings, but they have no evidence to support the theory. Some suggest that some young men from the local aristocracy are responsible, but are being protected by their parents. A persistent theory holds that the murders -- or a significant subset of them -- are linked to powerful narcotraficantes who have co-opted segments of the local ruling class. And the cynicism has been exacerbated by the fact that of the 17 men and one woman accused as serial killer masterminds of the murders, only one has been convicted, Abdel Latif Sharif Sharif, an Egyptian chemist and resident of Texas at the time of his extradition to Mexico in 1995. Currently, Sharif is awaiting sentencing for allegedly paying a drug trafficker named Victor Manuel Rivera Moreno to carry out about a dozen murders. However, evidence against Sharif is suspect and charges against him have been changed repeatedly. Once he was even charged with killing a woman, Elizabeth Ontiveros, who showed up later at police offices to prove she was alive. In 1996, Sharif was accused of paying the gang Los Rebeldes to kill 17 women. Then, in 1999, he was charged with hiring five bus drivers and an El Paso man from his jail cell to kill seven women. Officials claimed Sharif hired the killers to deflect blame from himself. By 1999, judges had cleared him of all charges, citing an absence of concrete evidence and the possibility of witness intimidation by prosecutors. Suly Ponce, who supervised the case, has yet to make a compelling case against him. In a 1999 radio interview, rather than presenting hard evidence, she claimed Sharif was aggressively hostile toward women because of his Egyptian background. Now she says that the case against Sharif hinges on Moreno's declaration that Sharif paid him to carry out the killings with money he earned from 13 patents he developed for Benchmark Research and Technology. But according to an article in the El Paso Times, Benchmark has never paid employees for patent development. In a telephone interview last week with Salon, Ponce said she hadn't known this. Angela Paiaveras, the current special prosecutor, declined to discuss Sharif's case or any aspect of the investigations. Many local residents scoff at the notion that the killers have been caught. "We don't believe that the guys they have arrested are the killers," says Miguel Angel Jaramillo, a mid-level manager for the Lear Corp. "It's obvious that they're just scapegoats." Yet Ponce remains ardent in her belief that Sharif is at the center of the murders. "Today the killings continue because there are many imitators," she told Salon last week. "But after Sharif was caught, there were almost no homicides for a year." But according to the Juarez daily El Diario, the year immediately after Sharif was jailed -- a period spanning from October 1995 to October 1996 -- 28 young women were found murdered. Meanwhile, the theories flourish and become more and more paranoid, reflecting a breakdown in public trust. By one popular theory, the women are being murdered at blood rituals for a cabal of wealthy, powerful men. Another theory posits a financial motive for murder. "We're finding a lot of girls that are mutilated in the same way," says a young municipal UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 police officer who declined to give his name. "Someone's probably killing them to take their organs to sell them for a lot of money in the U.S." When asked if there was any evidence to support the theory, the officer replied that it was only a hunch. Such a climate sends a message to the killers every day: You can get away with anything, even a crime on this scale. But where such a climate breeds cynicism and hopelessness among people who live and work here, it has also provoked an incipient revolt. On her radio show "Grueso Calibre" ("Large Caliber"), popular host Samira lzaguirre frequently aired the views of guests who were critical of how authorities handled the murders. When Attorney General Rascon accused the two bus drivers of the cotton field murders in November 2001, lzaguirre hosted the drivers' wives on her show. After that interview, advertisements began appearing in local newspapers smearing lzaguirre with claims that she frequented strip clubs and was romantically involved with one of the bus drivers. News media on both sides of the border have reported that the receipt for the ad was signed by government officials who paid for it. Then, in February, when lzaguirre started organizing a vigil and announced a hunger strike on her show on Radio Canon, she was fired. Fearing for her safety, she moved across the border to El Paso. Others, too, have discovered that pressing the complaint too forcefully brings reprisal. Marisela Ortiz, co-director of Nuestras Hijas Regreso a Casa (Our Daughters Back Home), a legal support group for victims' parents, was a frequent guest on "Grueso Calibre." Like Izaguirre, Ortiz has focused her resources on drawing attention to government and police incompetence in the slain women's cases. And she says that, like lzaguirre, she has faced ever-increasing danger. In Nuestras Hijas' office in central Juarez, located inside a small one-story row house with a "For Rent" sign out front, Ortiz described the shadow of terror that has stalked her since she began pressuring the authorities. She claims she was threatened by ex-Chihuahua District Attorney Arturo Gonzalez Rascon. "Rascon came all the way to Juarez [from Chihuahua City] to tell me not to involve myself in all the cases," she tells Salon. "Then I got a message on my phone saying: 'You have daughters that are alive. Take care of them." Rascon, in an earlier story by the Associated Press, denied the allegation. Last May, Ortiz says, she was pursued by men in a black pickup truck who tried to kidnap her. She believes the attempt was orchestrated by Rascon's office since it occurred only a day before she had planned to travel to El Paso for a meeting with the FBI and Texas state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, who is calling for a bi-national investigation into the murders. Victims' parents who came to Nuestras Hijas for help in finding their missing daughters also say they have been threatened. Mario Lee Lopez and his wife, Soledad Aguilar, lost their daughter, Cecilia Covarrubias. She was kidnapped in 1995 along with their granddaughter, who was two months old. By now their granddaughter would be 7, and Lopez and Aguilar's own investigation has led them to believe that she is alive and living in the custody of a well-connected local family. To an outsider it is a desperate story, all but impossible to prove. Lopez accuses Ponce of coordinating the coverup of the kidnappings and murder: again, Ponce denies the charge. And she was adamant that government officials have harassed no one. "I didn't have any knowledge of threats against anybody," she said. "On the contrary, we support the families and they are encouraged to be intimately involved in the investigations." Lopez recalls an incident in which he had gone to Juarez's judicial building to press his granddaughter's case and did not exactly find the kind of support Ponce mentioned. While leaving the court, Lopez says, he was confronted by a highranking minister who warned that if he didn't drop the investigation, he would be tortured with electric shock devices. "But it's too late to stop now," Lopez adds with a wistful smile. Despite the campaign against lzaguirre, or perhaps because of it, the vigil took place as scheduled in March. It was an unprecedented show of solidarity, with thousands of people gathered in the cotton field where Gonzalez and the seven others were found in an irrigation ditch. There are still tatters of yellow police tape there, and candleholders left from the vigil are strewn over the site. Eight red crosses mark the spot where the bodies were found. However, city officials have no plans to memorialize the site as Juarez's residents have. In fact, according to a Sept. 4 article in El Diario, the site is now being used as a dumping ground for Juarez's Department of Parks and Gardens. Near downtown Juarez there is a monument to Abraham Lincoln, honoring him for "establishing North American industries, today the most important in the world." Not far away is a simple gallery where the Collective Antigone [Antigone Collective], a group of local artists, has organized a series of public performances, installations and conferences focused on Juarez's crisis of violence. Each week, the artists gather to collaborate and discuss strategy. At a table with 12 other artists and writers, in an expansive room filled with cubist-inspired paintings, Antonio Munoz Ortega, a 51-year-old writer, describes the Collective's goals and the problems confronting the group. "Our government is authoritarian, and authoritarian governments are principally concerned with the manipulation of life," he says. "The victims' families feel manipulated by the authorities' insensitivity and this has manifested a greater and greater cynicism here that's really dangerous. The struggle, then, is for reparation and simply regaining our daily lives." Ortega says he was moved to action by Samira Izaguirre's candlelight vigil in March. He describes the building of an impromptu church in front of the Association of Maquiladoras office as an effort to "communicate through a different language, one that's symbolic." This decision, he says, helped lead to the formation of the Collective. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768643 Date: 08/31/2015 The rallying cry for Collectiva Antigona, as evidenced by the name, has been Sophocles Greek tragedy, "Antigone," which tells the tale of a girl's persecution at the hands of a cruel dictator for burying her brother. The Collectiva has organized readings of the play around the state of Chihuahua and plans a public performance in the future. The Collectiva also has begun to establish a visual presence around central Juarez, most noticeably by painting a wall spanning an entire block with poetry written by participants in a recent writer's conference on violence against women. On Nov. 1 and 2, the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, the collective filled a room with traditional altars honoring the victims along with a giant cross in the center of the room covered with masks, intended to symbolize the anonymity of the victims. An estimated 1,500 people viewed the exhibit. A week later, working with Nuestras Hijas, the collective placed a coffin and flowers and had a bonfire in the cotton field ditch where Claudia Ivette Gonzalez and seven others were found. "It is absolutely necessary to affect civil society with the intention of shaking the indolence and to provoke some sort of reaction from the people," says Mariela Paniagua, a 41-year-old painter. "People are no longer affected by what is happening in this city. They have lost the capacity for outrage in the face of these acts." While Collectiva Antigona meets, another group gathers a few miles away to combat Juarez's violence by drastically different means. Past the seemingly endless rows of cardboard hovels in the desperately poor CoIonia Morelos, beyond the municipal dump, on a rocky desert mesa in the shadow of Mount Indio, members of a search-and-rescue group called Banda Civil spread out through the hills to search for more murder victims. Luz Elena Guerrero Guerra, a strong-looking woman in her late 50s with an intense gaze, serves as president of one of Banda Civil's six divisions. Guerra tells of how it began as a search-and-rescue group in 1985 to assist during a massive earthquake in Mexico City and evolved to respond to Juarez's crisis. She herself found the first slain women's bodies in 1989, before investigators had even identified the deadly trend. Today, Banda Civil's members still lend their help during natural disasters but the bulk of their work comes in the search for bodies, monitoring of schools and a citywide crimeawareness campaign. Ever-present terror, coupled with the impotence of Juarez's authorities, forced Banda Civil's transformation, Guerra says. "I've narrowly escaped violence many times," she explains. "Sometimes it is just pure luck that a bus or a taxi happens to come by in time when someone is chasing me ... All of us, we're uncertain of what the authorities are telling us. That's our indignation. If they [the authorities] aren't interested in helping, we'll pressure them." Because the group is required by law to cooperate with police, some view it with suspicion. Yet they have had success where most other activist groups have failed. It was Banda Civil members who made the crucial discovery of Claudia lvette Gonzalez's overalls in February, humiliating Attorney General Rascon and breathing new life into the investigation. And Banda Civil has continued to find more evidence during their weekly searches of Juarez's human dumping grounds. Besides its role as a search-and-rescue/quasi-vigilante group, Banda Civil has the feel of a support group, providing members with an outlet from the daily fear that comes with life in Juarez. According to Guerra, over 300 people have accompanied the group on searches and many of them are family members of missing women. And indeed, the searches are a family activity. On one recent Saturday, the search was joined by about 60 participants of all ages and from all sectors of Juarez society, including a middle manager from the Lear Corp. There were no terrible discoveries that day, and yet afterward, as people stood around talked and listened to norteno music blaring from a car stereo, it was evident just how deeply the murders are ingrained into life here -- and how some people are fighting back with whatever tools they have at hand. Perhaps the quiet optimism is derived from the age-old Mexican axiom that death brings about rebirth. "Instead of spending our time criticizing the authorities, we're trying to find some solutions," says Santos. "We all have sisters and daughters here and we all feel the same. My daughter is in danger. I can't let her live like this." -- By Max Blumenthal [3( Copyright © 2010 Salon Media Group, Inc.

Op-Ed Contributor Germany in Need of a Dream By JOHN KORNBLUM Has Germany abandoned Europe? Do Angela Merkel's tough conditions for aid to Greece mean that Germany is no longer the motor of European integration? Has Frau Merkel in fact morphed from the Miss Europa of 2007 to the Fraulein Germania of 2010, as Germany's own former foreign minister Joschka Fischer has suggested? As a former American ambassador who has lived arid worked the better part of four decades around Germany, my Blackberry often glows red hot with messages from persons asking these questions. My response is always the same: Germany has changed very little, but Europe and the world have changed a lot. Therein lies the dilemma. Germany has worked hard to dig its way out of the disaster of 1945, but trauma remains a defining issue for German society. Sixty five years later, Germany is still focused on the three essentials of its recovery: stability, respectability and peace. Keep this triangle in mind and lots of things quickly come into focus. From the first days of the Federal Republic. Germany's leaders emphasized the importance of defining interests solely within a common European and Atlantic vocation. But they also understood that renouncing national ambitions did not remove the responsibility to pursue specific German goals through the common institutions. Many important postwar accomplishments were conceived and pushed by Germany, sometimes over the opposition of others — including the United States. Ostpolitik was controversial for years, as was NATO enlargement. Germany pushed them with determination. Helmut Kohl did not consult before promulgating his 10 points on reunification. He agreed to French desires for a common currency, but only if it could be a mirror of the Deutsche mark, for decades the European monetary standard. The euro stability pact, now the object of so much controversy with Greece, was the result. After 1990, the E.U.'s eastward expansion was Germany's way of firming up its Eastern flank. Slowly and without fanfare, Germany has been remaking the European Union in its image. At each step of the way, Germany made its wishes more palatable by paying more than its share. Part of today's misunderstanding is caused by Germany's success in using its contributions to build an image of selflessness. Germany has been as single-minded in pursuit of its goals as Charles de Gaulle ever was for his, but it almost always left leadership to others. A new consciousness grew after the costs of reunification began to mount. "Europe" in the institutional sense has become increasingly unpopular. German courts have begun to define German European issues in the context of the German Constitution rather than on the basis of E.U. law. At least some of Ms. Merkel's refusal to allow immediate assistance to Greece was based on her fears that it would fan anti-E.U. sentiment at home. Are these the first signs of a German Tea Party? Here we find the source of most of the hand wringing about Germany's role as the "motor of Europe." Ms. Merkel's unwillingness to sweeten the financial pot echoed throughout Brussels. To many, it signified the decline of German willingness to "salute the French flag three times before raising the German flag," as Konrad Adenauer used to put it. Germans are not alone in objecting to throwing more money into the E.U. pot, but they happen to be the only ones who can do something about it. Many fear that without German complaisance, the E.U. will stutter to a stop. But such selfUNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768658 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768658 Date: 08/31/2015 denial could never offer a viable foundation for a new Europe. Neither could the inefficiency and even corruption that characterizes many E.U. programs. Most maddening for most thinking Europeans is the knowledge that the Germans are right. But to them, the question is whether Germany is remaking the E.U. in a fashion palatable to the majority of other member states. They are not so sure that its focus on stability and accountability is the right way to help such a diverse collection of peoples adjust to a globalized world. And so when Angela Merkel raps Greek knuckles, she is sending a message most Europeans don't want to hear. Not that Germany is dangerous; even worse, that it is unrelenting. The Neue aricher Zeitung probably spoke for many others when it once accused Germany of wanting Europe to become a large Switzerland. The growing gap between Germany's aspirations and the perceived needs of other members of the E.U. is beginning to burden both sides. Most Europeans are simply not ready to live up to German standards. Without a more flexible sense of common purpose, the project to build a democratic Europe could stop dead in the water. But as Germans will themselves often tell you: They have forgotten how to dream. Younger Germans feel this lack of inspiration as well. Dreams were what 200,000 of them were waiting to hear when they rallied to hear Barack Obama in Berlin two summers ago. They wanted more than to "Dare to Hope," which is the characteristically timid German translation of the title of the president's best seller. And they are still waiting. America seems busy elsewhere. The main conclusion I draw from the debate about Germany is that it is not about Germany at all. The task of building a democratic Europe is far from complete. Most of the foundations have been laid and now the residents are starting to haggle over the design. Weaving today's 27 states into a true trans-Atlantic partnership is a task that is too big for Germany or even Europe to accomplish alone. They desperately need some skilled architectural assistance. Uniting Europe and North America is the most audacious project ever conceived. If it works, the United States will be joined by nearly 500 million Europeans to form a democratic space, within which modern democratic values will harness more energy than in any single nation on earth. Democracy's future as the operating system for a globalized world will be assured. European fecklessness seems to worry Washington officials these days. But if Germany has forgotten how to dream and the United States is too busy to try, we will both be guilty of perpetuating the aimlessness we so criticize. To hold up its side of the bargain, Europe needs exactly what Barack Obama originally promised — the audacity of hope.

There have been a few exceptions, most famously former ambassador to Israel Sam Lewis, who was in Tel Aviv for eight years until 1985. But the rule generally applies. This summer, however, Ambassador to Kenya Michael E. Ranneberger, a veteran Africa hand, apparently will begin his fifth year on the job in Nairobi, and there's no nominee in sight to replace him. That sparked speculation that the administration might want to extend Ranneberger in order to hold the job open for Sudan special envoy J. Scott Gration, should Gration work out the Sudan mess. Gration, Loop Fans recall, grew up in Africa and became tight with President Obama when he escorted the then-senator as he toured his ancestral homeland -- or birthplace, as some folks say. Gration, a retired Air Force general, early on had been looked at for a top administration job and perhaps as a replacement for Ranneberger. But we're told that's not happening anytime soon because the White House is not about to pull him off the full-time Sudan portfolio, despite some criticism that he's too soft on the war criminals. "The ball's not even rolling in that direction," one source said.

Schumer, along with a majority of members of the House and Senate, signed on to letters politely suggesting the U.S. keep its disagreements with Israel private, a tacit objection to the administration's very public rebuke of the Jewish State over construction in Jerusalem last month. But Schumer dramatically sharpened his tone on the politically conservative Jewish Nachum Segal Show today, calling the White House stance to date "counter-productive" and describing his own threat to "blast" the Administration had the State Department not backed down from its "terrible" tough talk toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Schumer, a hawkish ally of Israel since his days as a Brooklyn Congressman, described "a battle going on inside the administration" over Middle East policy. "This has to stop," he said of the administration's policy of publicly pressuring Israel to end construction in Jerusalem. "I told the President, I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive, because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them, they are not going to sit down and talk," Schumer told Segal. "Palestinians don't really believe in a state of Israel. They, unlike a majority of Israelis, who have come to the conclusion that they can live with a two-state solution to be determined by the parties, the majority of Palestinians are still very reluctant, and they need to be pushed to get there. "If the U.S. says certain things and takes certain stands the Palestinians say, 'Why should we negotiate?" Schumer said. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 Schumer described the recent confrontation over construction in Jerusalem as a "kerfuffle." "Israel apologized and when Biden left, and Biden is the best friend of Israel in the administration [and] everything was fine," Schumer said. "But then what happened is the next day Hillary Clinton called up Netanyahu and talked very tough to him, and worse they made it public through this spokesperson, a guy named Crowley. And Crowley said something I have never heard before, which is, the relationship of Israel and the United States depends on the pace of the negotiations." Schumer was referring to State Department spokesman PJ Crowley's description of Clinton's conversation with Netanyahu, in which he said that Clinton "made clear that the Israeli government needed to demonstrate not just through words but through specific actions that they are committed to this relationship and to the peace process." "That is terrible," Schumer said today. "That is the dagger because the relationship is much deeper than the disagreements on negotiations, and most Americans—Democrat, Republican, Jew, non-Jew—would feel that. So I called up Rahm Emanuel and I called up the White House and I said, 'If you don't retract that statement you are going to hear me publicly blast you on this," Schumer said. Schumer said the White House had backed off that statement, but that now "many of us are pushing back, some of the Jewish members will be meeting with the President next week or the week after, and we are saying that this has to stop." "You have to show Israel that it's not going to be forced to do things it doesn't want to do and can't do. At the same time you have to show the Palestinians that they are not going to get their way by just sitting back and not giving in, and not recognizing that there is a state of Israel," Schumer said. "And right now there is a battle going on inside the administration, one side agrees with us, one side doesn't, and we're pushing hard to make sure the right side wins and if not we'll have to take it to the next step." The full transcript of Segal's interview with Schumer is after the jump. Chuck Schumer Interview with Nachum Segal 4/22/10 Nachum Segal: Straight to what has become one of the most concerning issues in the Jewish Community certainly, and for anybody in the United States, and anywhere in the world who cares somewhat, or more, about Israel. There is a perception that the White House and Jerusalem are not enjoying the same type of relationship that the White House and Jerusalem have enjoyed in the past. Need we be concerned? SCHUMER: Well of course we should be concerned, and the thing we should most be concerned about, of course, the threat to Israel...I mean it always changes but it's always there it seems to be the fate if Israel and it seems to be the fate of the Jewish people. Right now what are the threats? I would rank them in this order: Greatest threat- Nuclear Iran, obviously as Netanyahu has said that's an existential threat. Second greatest threat- SCUDs in Syria these are rockets that can go four or five hundred miles and carry a bigger payload and could be launched by Hezbollah and hit any part of Israel far more damaging and devastating than the katyusha rockets. And third actually is what everyone is focused on, which is the disagreements between the United States and Israel, very real, on how to sit down and negotiate with the Palestinians. The irony is Nachum, on the first two, if you talk to the Prime Minister if you talk to the Israeli military, US-Israeli cooperation continues strong and hand in glove. Both the US and Israel greatly fear a nuclear Iran, and there are very serious discussions going on as to how to deal with it. We in the Congress Senator Lieberman and myself, Senator Bayh, are working up our sanctions bill, which even if the UN sanctions are weak we could have unilateral sanctions by the United States, for instance, if you cut of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 gasoline. Iranians do not produce their own gasoline, and by the way the Iranian people are ready to rebel and overthrow this regime, and if we would squeeze them economically that could happen. SEGAL: If in fact all this is true, and let's assume there is no reason not to believe that it's true, that in fact Israel and the United States continue the same cooperation level they have had in the past, and we know that when it comes to serious matters, especially military matters, it's been great cooperation, Why wouldn't the President of the U.S. want that perception to be out there? Why would he want to alienate so many who care about Israel. SCHUMER: Nachum this is the question I talked to Rahm Emanuel about, and the President about this week. I told the President, I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive, because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them, they are not going to sit down and talk. Palestinians don't really believe in a state of Israel, they, unlike a majority of Israelis, who have come to the conclusion that they can live with a 2-state solution to be determined by the parties, the majority of Palestinians are still very reluctant, and they need to be pushed to get there. If the U.S. says certain things and takes certain stands the Palestinians say, "Why should we negotiate?" So that's bad and that should change and we are working on changing it. But the other two are very good, according to both the Israeli government and the Israeli military and the U.S. government. But we should make that known, why don't they? I asked them to do just that, I said we should make it public because it will, at least, give people, who are supportive of Israel, Jew and non-Jew alike, a little bit of solace. SEGAL: That I agree with. But then you see the Gates memo which has become its own sort of entity out there, and you wonder about what type of support the United States could give Israel if, god-forbid, they were attacked by Iran. SCHUMER: I do think that this administration, like previous ones, realizes a nuclear Iran is devastating and is a very bad thing. By the way, not just for Israel but for the whole Middle-East and for world peace and I think they're working strenuously to avoid it. They are having more success in this area than the previous administration, they are trying to get some of the Europeans, and even the Russians and Chinese to impose sanctions, but we are moving in the Senate and the house to achieve any unilateral action that the U.S. can take. If we tell any major oil company that if they sell gasoline to Iran, directly or indirectly, they can't sell any oil product in the U.S., then they will stop selling gasoline to Iran and the Iranian economy will have real problems. This will, at the very minimum, divert the leadership from their nuclear strategy and could bring down the regime. This is important and good. Let's talk about the bad. Let's talk about, what I'm sure your listeners are most aggravated about, is what's happened in the last while in Israel. Let me say this: things were going pretty well, until a couple of months ago, for this reason—the Netanyahu administration, with money from the U.S., had gotten the PA on the west bank to have their own police force and have them come down on the terrorists , for their own self interest not to protect the Jewish people. It has worked, not only are there fewer killings of Jews on the Israeli side of the fence, but there are many fewer in the other side because there is a Palestinian police force and they have put those terrorists in line. As a result Israel has been able to take down 27 of the checkpoints and as a result of that there is some economic growth in the west bank. Its growing at 7-8%, Netanyahu brags that -- when he came here I spent a lot of time with him – That there are multiplex theatres in places like Ramallah and Janeen. At the same time that is happening, there is prosperity with the more moderate Palestinian Authority in the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 west bank, and Hamas in Gaza is being squeezed and people there are doing very badly. Not only because Israel has blocked off the border and not let anything into Gaza, and I support Israel in doing that, and it may be tough on the Palestinian people, but when they vote for Hamas they are going to have to suffer the consequences. But also because Egypt is preventing all the tunnels from going under the Gaza-Egyptian border, not so much because they want to help Israel but they don't want the terrorists infiltrating from Gaza into Egypt. So the Palestinians were beginning to see those who talked about living in coexistence with Israel, and not terrorism, and not wiping it out, such as the PA on the west bank would do better, and those who talked about destroying Israel, and shooting rockets into it were doing horrible. SEGAL. I don't think the checkpoint and open highway point is one we are going to agree on Senator. But I want to move to another hot point which is Syria, it seems, and I'm not sure how many people would consider these confirmed reports or not and I'm sure you know more about this than I do, but Syria is making sure that Hezbollah, north of Israel is being armed with SCUD missiles at this point. And you know that Washington is making efforts to try and strengthen the diplomatic relationship with Syria. Do you think that's outrageous? SCHUMER: I do, and think that's stopped. They are working very hard to put pressure on the Syrians both diplomatic and then maybe economic, to stop this and it's intolerable and that has to change. Let me just finish this dialogue about Israel for a minute. All we have to do is leave things alone, and you might get the Palestinians more willing to sit down and actually discuss peace because they would see the contrast. When Biden was in Israel and there was this kerfuffle over settlements which is in Israeli Jerusalem 5 minutes from downtown and should never have been an issue to begin with, but they probably shouldn't have made the announcement when Biden was there. But Israel apologized and when Biden left, and Biden is the best friend of Israel in the administration everything was fine. But then what happened is the next day Hillary Clinton called up Netanyahu and talked very tough to him, and worse they made it pubic through this spokesperson, a guy named Crowley. And Crowley said something I have never heard before, which is, the relationship of Israel and the United States depends on the pace of the negotiations. That is terrible. That is the dagger because the relationship is much deeper than the disagreements on negotiations, and most Americans—Democrat, Republican, Jew, non-Jew--would feel that. So I called up Rahm Emanuel and I called up the White House and I said, "If you don't retract that statement you are going to hear me publicly blast you on this." Of course they did retract it. Now what's happened, and many of us are pushing back, some of the Jewish members will be meeting with the President next week or the week after, and we are saying that this has to stop. You have to have, in terms of the negotiations, you have to show Israel that it's not going to be forced to do things it doesn't want to do and can't do. At the same time you have to show the Palestinians that they are not going to get their way by just sitting back and not giving in, and not recognizing that there is a state of Israel. And right now there is a battle going on inside the administration, one side agrees with us, one side doesn't, and we're pushing hard to make sure the right side wins and if not we'll have to take it to the next step. SEGAL: You know Senator Schumer, the perception among New York state residents, and I'm one of them as you know, is there likely is no one closer in the Senate to the President than you. SCHUMER: That's not quite true, but I have an ear and frankly I spent time on the phone just yesterday talking to him about this, and telling him that I didn't quite understand the United States policy, because even if the goal is to bring about talks of peace, it was counter-productive because it's encouraging the Palestinians not to sit down. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768665 Date: 08/31/2015 SEGAL: More than % of the Senate, including a lot of democrats, signed the letter to Sec. of State Clinton rebuking the administration for these confrontational stances toward Israel. Were you surprised that names like Kerry, Dodd, Durbin, Leahy and Reid were not included in that letter? SCHUMER: well I think Senator Reid signed the letter, some didn't sign but the majority of both parties signed. And we'll have other letters and other meetings to keep pushing that. I think you can say there are a handful of people who are not sympathetic to Israel in the Senate of each party, but 90% of the Senate is overwhelmingly in support of Israel. And one of my jobs, as you know is to rally those forces to do strong poll work for this year (couldn't hear this part perfectly). Believe me I think the policy has to change, and I'm working hard to make it change and I think it will. Every administration at the beginning has this view even Ronald Reagan, the best friend Israel ever had, do you remember his first 2 years? When George Schultz wanted to sell AWACs to Saudi Arabia? Every administration has this idea to talk tough to Israel and make nice to the Arabs and the Palestinians and that's the way to bring about peace. It's counterproductive, it's actually the opposite. The only way the Palestinians will sit down and talk is if they know Israel and the United States are as close as could be. And each administration learns it. Schultz had to learn it and Reagan had to learn it. Clinton did it in the early years and later became a very good friend of Israel. George Bush the first did it and never got over it, (SEGAL laughing muffles SCHUMER). We are at a crucial moment here and I am hopeful that administration will see the right way to go. I am working on it. I don't believe that have made any definitive decision, and as I have said on both Iran on Syria there is close cooperation, you can check with your Israeli contacts Nachum and they will confirm that. So we just have to get this third part right and I'm working hard to do it and I'm optimistic that that can happen. SEGAL: Good to hear that. Finally Senator, just for our own curiosity, just like the most recent justice appointed to the Supreme Court, will the next one also be a New Yorker? SCHUMER: I don't know. I would like it to be, I recommended the first one. I have 3 criteria for Supreme Court Justices: they should be legally excellent, they should be moderate as is typical of my politics I don't want too far right or far left, and diversity, which means different ethnic groups and everything else. Luckily in terms of Jewish people we have good representation in terns of the Supreme Court. That will continue. One thing I want to assure your listeners Nachum, my name as you know comes from a Hebrew word. It comes from the word shomer, which mean guardian. My ancestors were guardians of the ghetto wall in Chortkov and I believe Hashem, actually, gave me name as one of my roles that is very important in the United States Senate to be a shomer to be A. a shomer for Israel and I will continue to be that with every bone in my body for of the other is against me. SEGAL: can I ask you one other favor Senator? To be a shomer against the value-add tax? SCHUMER: I am against it. I'm not sure it's needed but I will be a shomer against it. SEGAL: always a pleasure Senator, thanks so much for joining us. SCHUMER: Nachum, nice to see you and I hope you readership continues to go in peace and prosperity.

Conference By JONATHAN WEISMAN, JAY SOLOMON and JOE LAURIA The U.S. is negotiating with Egypt a proposal to make the Middle East a region free of nuclear weapons, as the U.S. seeks to prevent Iran from derailing a monthlong U.N. conference on nuclear nonproliferation that begins Monday. U.S. officials familiar with the move call it an important step in assuring countries that Washington—criticized by some for its silence about Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal—will equitably address weapons proliferation across the region, as Iran seeks to shift focus away from its own nuclear program. Washington also reassured Israel it won't foist a nuclear-free zone on the region until all parties agree to it and significant progress has been made on Mideast peace. The U.N. conference on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which is held every five years, is expected to begin with a bang Monday with an address by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has condemned the West for its refusal to disarm and for tacitly accepting Israel's nuclear capability. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will follow the Iranian leader in the afternoon. The U.N. talks come at a time when Iran is believed to be heading toward a nuclear capability and the U.S. and allies have been pressing for new, tough Security Council sanctions to curb Tehran's program. "The Iranians are clearly intending to spoil the party," said a senior U.S. official involved in the nuclear diplomacy. The official highlighted the importance of raising Mideast nuclear-free zone issues. The designation of the region as a zone free of weapons of mass destruction was a nonbinding agreement that emerged from a 1995 U.N. review of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, a 1970 pact to limit the spread of nuclear weapons. That 1995 agreement was pivotal because it won the indefinite extension of the treaty, but no action on the zone has been taken since. Senior Obama administration officials said Friday the White House is willing to significantly advance a Mideast nuclear weapons-free zone, and would support a conference on the subject at a future date. U.S. officials said talks with Egypt would resume in New York in the coming month. Such a zone is envisaged to include Israel, the Arab states, Iran and Turkey. "We've made a proposal to them [Egypt] that goes beyond what the U.S. has been willing to do before," said the senior U.S. official involved in the nuclear diplomacy. U.S. officials stressed, however, that they didn't believe that would happen without first achieving major advances in Arab-Israeli peace talks. "We are concerned that the conditions are not right unless all members of the region participate, which would be unlikely unless there is a comprehensive peace plan which is accepted," said Ellen Tauscher, undersecretary of state for arms UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768675 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768675 Date: 08/31/2015 control and international security. She said the U.S. has also discussed the zone with the Arab League and other members of the Nonaligned Movement. The diplomacy could raise new tensions between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if Washington is seen backing away from its commitment to Israel. Israel has voiced concerns that the U.N. conference could turn into an international forum to corner Israel. Mr. Netanyahu backed out of a nuclear-security conference in Washington in March due to such concerns. An Israeli official said Friday that his government supports a Middle East freeze of WMD and nuclear weapons, but that "it should be the culmination of a process that begins with bilateral and individual peace agreements between all the countries in the region." The U.S. and Israel have been locked in a monthslong spat over Mr. Obama's calls for a complete freeze in building new Jewish housing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. U.S. officials have grown increasingly confident in recent days that ties between the U.S. and Israel have stabilized. Mrs. Clinton said Friday that the Mideast peace process will get on track next week, though not the U.S.-brokered direct talks involving Israeli and Palestinians that the Obama administration wants to see. Egypt's latest proposal calls for Israel's disarmament "as soon as possible." It also called for Israel's nuclear program to be placed under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.'s atomic watchdog. That proposal won't be accepted, U.S. officials said. The Egyptian working paper demands NPT signatory states release "all information available to them on the nature and scope of Israeli nuclear facilities and activities, including information pertaining to previous nuclear transfers to Israel." U.S. officials indicated no such demands could be made on Israel. Arms-control analysts familiar with the talks say the U.S. is likely to propose creating a U.N. envoy given the task of calling a conference of Middle East nations to press forward on the nuclear weapon-free zone. "They are desperate to buy off Egyptian objections," said Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Non-Proliferation Education Center and a critic of the Obama administration's arms-control approach. Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, an advocacy group, said the U.S. acceptance of a special envoy is a significant shift. A U.S. official refused to say whether the envoy proposal, first floated by Russia, was part of the U.S. offer. The last NPT conference in 2005 ended in collapse. But U.S. officials said they have been laying the groundwork for this conference for nearly a year. The White House wants rules to ensure that a country that withdraws from the treaty doesn't escape inspections and sanctions. They also want more power for U.N. inspectors and more backing for multinational facilities that could help nations develop peaceful nuclear power.

Do Angela Merkel's tough conditions for aid to Greece mean that Germany is no longer the motor of European integration? Has Frau Merkel in fact morphed from the Miss Europa of 2007 to the Fraulein Germania of 2010, as Germany's own former foreign minister Joschka Fischer has suggested? As a former American ambassador who has lived and worked the better part of four decades around Germany, my Blackberry often glows red hot with messages from persons asking these questions. My response is always the same: Germany has changed very little, but Europe and the world have changed a lot. Therein lies the dilemma. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768699 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768699 Date: 08/31/2015 Germany has worked hard to dig its way out of the disaster of 1945, but trauma remains a defining issue for German society. Sixty five years later, Germany is still focused on the three essentials of its recovery: stability, respectability and peace. Keep this triangle in mind and lots of things quickly come into focus. From the first days of the Federal Republic, Germany's leaders emphasized the importance of defining interests solely within a common European and Atlantic vocation. But they also understood that renouncing national ambitions did not remove the responsibility to pursue specific German goals through the common institutions. Many important postwar accomplishments were conceived and pushed by Germany, sometimes over the opposition of others — including the United States. Ostpolitik was controversial for years, as was NATO enlargement. Germany pushed them with determination. Helmut Kohl did not consult before promulgating his 10 points on reunification. He agreed to French desires for a common currency, but only if it could be a mirror of the Deutsche mark, for decades the European monetary standard. The euro stability pact, now the object of so much controversy with Greece, was the result. After 1990, the E.U.'s eastward expansion was Germany's way of firming up its Eastern flank. Slowly and without fanfare, Germany has been remaking the European Union in its image. At each step of the way, Germany made its wishes more palatable by paying more than its share. Part of today's misunderstanding is caused by Germany's success in using its contributions to build an image of selflessness. Germany has been as single-minded in pursuit of its goals as Charles de Gaulle ever was for his, but it almost always left leadership to others. A new consciousness grew after the costs of reunification began to mount. "Europe" in the institutional sense has become increasingly unpopular. German courts have begun to define German European issues in the context of the German Constitution rather than on the basis of E.U. law. At least some of Ms. Merkel's refusal to allow immediate assistance to Greece was based on her fears that it would fan anti-E.U. sentiment at home. Are these the first signs of a German Tea Party? Here we find the source of most of the hand wringing about Germany's role as the "motor of Europe." Ms. Merkel's unwillingness to sweeten the financial pot echoed throughout Brussels. To many, it signified the decline of German willingness to "salute the French flag three times before raising the German flag," as Konrad Adenauer used to put it. Germans are not alone in objecting to throwing more money into the E.U. pot, but they happen to be the only ones who can do something about it. Many fear that without German complaisance, the E.U. will stutter to a stop. But such selfdenial could never offer a viable foundation for a new Europe. Neither could the inefficiency and even corruption that characterizes many E.U. programs. Most maddening for most thinking Europeans is the knowledge that the Germans are right. But to them, the question is whether Germany is remaking the E.U. in a fashion palatable to the majority of other member states. They are not so sure that its focus on stability and accountability is the right way to help such a diverse collection of peoples adjust to a globalized world. And so when Angela Merkel raps Greek knuckles, she is sending a message most Europeans don't want to hear. Not that Germany is dangerous; even worse, that it is unrelenting. The Neue Ziiricher Zeitung probably spoke for many others when it once accused Germany of wanting Europe to become a large Switzerland. The growing gap between Germany's aspirations and the perceived needs of other members of the E.U. is beginning to burden both sides. Most Europeans are simply not ready to live up to German standards. Without a more flexible sense of common purpose, the project to build a democratic Europe could stop dead in the water. But as Germans will themselves often tell you: They have forgotten how to dream. Younger Germans feel this lack of inspiration as well. Dreams were what 200,000 of them were waiting to hear when they rallied to hear Barack Obama in Berlin two summers ago. They wanted more than to "Dare to Hope," which is the characteristically timid German translation of the title of the president's best seller. And they are still waiting. America seems busy elsewhere. The main conclusion I draw from the debate about Germany is that it is not about Germany at all. The task of building a democratic Europe is far from complete. Most of the foundations have been laid and now the residents are starting to haggle over the design. Weaving today's 27 states into a true trans-Atlantic partnership is a task that is too big for Germany or even Europe to accomplish alone. They desperately need some skilled architectural assistance. Uniting Europe and North America is the most audacious project ever conceived. If it works, the United States will be joined by nearly 500 million Europeans to form a democratic space, within which modern democratic values will harness more energy than in any single nation on earth. Democracy's future as the operating system for a globalized world will be assured.

Staff retreat -- I don't believe we could use Blair House on the 14th but Huma will remember better than me. The 28th is the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, not sure if people have plans that would interfere? I will follow up on Vietnam symposium and I did call Reyes' office but never heard back so will try again tomorrow.

The. climate conf in Mexico will be held Nov 29-Dec 10. There is also a Dec 10 conf on trafficking in Luxor sponsored by Mrs. Mubarak that Melanne hopes I could attend. Add to list of meetings the following-Ron Kirk Hilda Solis Walter Isaacson—high priority Sandy Levin Loretta Sanchez Max Baucus Eliot Engel Ben Cardin wants me to come give a speech about the 35th anniversary of the Helsinki Accords on the Hill so I thought If I'm going back to Helsinki for a speech about the Helinski Accords in July maybe I should do the Hill speech around that time. Also, Cheryl wants a staff retreat/meeting so what about May 14 or 28? Did you get info about the Vietnam symposium the State historian, Carland, invited me to open on 9/29?

The word from Ramallah is quite positive. IF there are no announcements this week, we anticipate that the Arab League Follow-up Committee will give its blessing on May 1 and Sen Mitchell can return to the region to start talking substance. Given the Israelis' warning, this is a real If. Karl/Frank will go in today to walk Karzai through the particulars of the visit - the only thorny part is that it has dropped from 4 to 3 days. But it has all the same elements, plus a dinner with Biden. Did you see reports that Iran has dropped out of the running for the UNSC? Trying to confirm. Andrew S. will be sending you a long memo that responds to DOD's pooling proposals - it conveys a desire to work together with DOD on this and offers some alternative ideas. He also canvassed the building on other topics and will send a list up for your book tonight. He and I agreed that the list should just be for reference and that your approach of having informal conversation on the big topics is the right one. You saw CDM's email about the Sudan ad.

This creates a unique opportunity for the Obama administration to press these organizations to implement long-awaited reforms, according to the Senate's top Republican on foreign relations, who has a big say in whether and how the Congress doles out the funds. "As the world struggles to emerge from the worst economic crisis since World War II, it is an appropriate time to ask whether the [International Financial Institutions] are performing optimally and doing the jobs they should be doing," reads a newly released report by the staff of Sen. Richard Lugar, R-IN, "The crisis should not be used as an excuse to win increases that could not otherwise be justified. As the requests for capital are negotiated with the international donor community, there is a window of opportunity for significant reform." The report, which is the culmination of six years of research, including half a dozen hearings when Lugar was committee chairman, outlines several dozen recommendations for what the Obama administration, Congress, and the banks can do to update their relevance. "Does the world really need the IMF, World Bank, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and Inter-American Development Bank today? Can they be changed to better address our needs? How should we re-design them?" the report asks. "Such questions are particularly timely because nearly all the IFIs have sought, or will soon seek, major new infusions of money from their donors, including the taxpayers of the United States." The Asian Development Bank has already asked the Obama administration for new funds, and the administration has requested in its new budget $533 million in direct money and $12.8 billion in borrowing authority for the ADB. A committee staffer told The Cable that Lugar wants to see progress on reform before he would support authorizing the money. "We want to make sure that before the American taxpayer puts more money in there that things are fixed," the staffer said. "It's not possible for them to do everything, but they could certainly make progress." The reforms the administration could press for in the short term include pressing the banks to focus more on development goals rather than the structure and size of loans and "work with the other donor countries to step back and slow down the process," the staffer said.

Negotiations between several banks and the Treasury Department are ongoing. The U.S. side is led by Scott Morris, deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury's Office of International Development Finance and Debt. The issue will next surface at the end of March when the Inter-American Development Bank convenes its annual meeting in Cancun. Michael H.

It was not immediately clear how many of the candidates barred for alleged ties to Saddam Hussein's banned Baath party had won seats in the March 7 ballot. If the result changed, the decision could spark anger among Sunnis just as the sectarian violence unleashed after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion recedes. The panel's ruling was confirmed by Ali al-Lami, a senior member of a commission that sought to bar candidates with Baath party links, Tariq Harp, a lawyer for Prime Minister Nuni al-Maliki's State of Law coalition, and Mustafa al-Hiti, a senior member of the winning lraqiya alliance that was heavily backed by Sunnis.

Traveling with you will be Kitty DiMartino, Joe Mellott, Mark Davidson, and GSEC's LTC Eric Schoennauer. Dana Smith will fly in from the Media Hub in Dubai to meet you in Doha. KEY EVENTS: Dinner with Al Jazeera (AJ) staff: AJ Director General Wadah Khanfar will host a dinner on May 1 with senior AJ staff, including AJ English Managing Director Tony Burman. We expect 7 people on the AJ side and 6 on ours. (The dinner is schedule for 8pm in a private room in the Four Seasons; post is making reservations for the party to stay in the same hotel.) Meeting with AJ Board Members at AJ Headquarters: This will give you an opportunity to engage the Qatari leadership of the network. Discussions topics should include the mid-May Washington visit by some AJ Board representatives. We expect Wadah Khanfar to also participate in this meeting. (TBC) Meeting with Prime Minister Hamad bin Jasim bin Jabir al-Thani (HBJ): As PM, HBJ is the ultimate Qatari authority on AJ. The meeting will also allow you to raise bi-lateral engagement issues as necessary. We expect to know in a few days if HBJ will be available. Meetings with CENTCOM: You will meet with CENTCOM staff at Al Udeid airbase just outside of within their AOR, but with particular B1 Doha. They will brief you on their 1.4(D) focus on activities ir MEDIA: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768773 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768773 Date: 08/31/2015 Feature on AJ Arabic: 15 minute "feature" piece filmed at AJ Studios on the Administration's commitment to engagement with Muslim communities worldwide. This will be a good opportunity to highlight the Entrepreneurship Summit. We can expect you to also get questions on PD programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. You will be interviewed by one of AJ's "top" journalists; exactly who is still to be determined. The interview will be in English with simultaneous interpretation into Arabic. It will likely air a number of times on AJ. Feature on AJ English: This would be a second 15 minute "feature" piece similar to the one for AJ Arabic. If we are pressed for time we can consider just doing the AJ Arabic feature. Roundtable with local Qatari media: This will include journalists from a number of local Qatari media outlets. This is another opportunity to talk about the Administration's commitment to engagement, but with a more targeted focus on bilateral engagement and exchange programs. Note — Wadah Khanfar has been closely engaged on, if not driving, the portions of your program that deal with AJ. Post reports that he is very pleased to have this opportunity for you to engage with AJ leadership in Doha.

Greek eco crisis; transatlantic consequences. Sid hrc memo greek crisis.europe 042710.docx CONFIDENTIAL April 27, 2010 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Greek economic crisis; transatlantic consequences CC: Cheryl A potential second major phase of the economic crisis, at least in Europe, likely with repercussions in the US, is being triggered with the designation of Greece to junk band status, on the edge of default, with Portugal, Spain, and perhaps even Ireland at tipping points. This is more than a further unfolding of the economic crisis, threatening recovery; fissures within the transatlantic relationship will now be under intensifying strain. More than statements from Treasury should be forthcoming in the days ahead. This is about the future of the transatlantic relationship. Reassuring words about our enduring commitment will matter. I've been having conversations with John Kornblum and those discussions prompted this email from him a couple of days ago, before the latest Greek event: -- the economic crisis is starting to have a negative effect on dynamics among EU members. Tensions over deficits, Greece etc are uncovering major gaps among the major players. -- Germany has emerged stronger than others. German voters believe (correctly) that they have sacrificed to maintain stability and are increasingly angry over signs of obvious mismanagement by Greece and others. The strains of Afghanistan are being felt by everyone and while the President is very popular in Europe, EU leaders miss the regular stroking by the US which for decades has been an essential aspect of their self-confidence. - Germany's harsh reaction to Greece has shaken everyone, perhaps the French most of all. They now see that Germany has been remaking the EU behind the scenes without their noticing it. Commonality on major issues is declining. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768806 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768806 Date: 08/31/2015 -- Continuation of this trend would be very damaging to US interests. Global markets could be weakened significantly if the budgetary crises continue. Cooperation on issues such as Afghanistan and Iran could be undermined. In the worst case, the President could be confronted with a major crisis of confidence among members of the EU. He would be blamed for inattention to the negative trends. -- Things are not in crisis, but the trends are worrying enough to warrant a senior effort to focus the dialogue, especially with the Germans and the French. Assuming the Conservatives win in the UK, there will be a need to guide them successfully into office. Others such as the Poles and the Turks cannot be ignored. -- In other words, we cannot treat our partnership with Europe as just another point on a multipolar map. Maintaining consensus within Europe and between the US and Europe is essential to maintaining a foundation for our global efforts.

This is more than a further unfolding of the economic crisis, threatening recovery; fissures within the transatlantic relationship will now be under intensifying strain. More than statements from Treasury should be forthcoming in the days ahead. This is about the future of the transatlantic relationship. Reassuring words about our enduring commitment will matter. I've been having conversations with John Komblum and those discussions prompted this email from him a couple of days ago, before the latest Greek event: -- the economic crisis is starting to have a negative effect on dynamics among EU members. Tensions over deficits, Greece etc are uncovering major gaps among the major players. -- Germany has emerged stronger than others. German voters believe (correctly) that they have sacrificed to maintain stability and are increasingly angry over signs of obvious mismanagement by Greece and others. The strains of Afghanistan are being felt by everyone and while the President is very popular in Europe, EU leaders miss the regular stroking by the US which for decades has been an essential aspect of their selfconfidence. - Germany's harsh reaction to Greece has shaken everyone, perhaps the French most of all. They now see that Germany has been remaking the EU behind the scenes without their noticing it. Commonality on major issues is declining. -- Continuation of this trend would be very damaging to US interests. Global markets could be weakened significantly if the budgetary crises continue. Cooperation on issues UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768823 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768823 Date: 08/31/2015 such as Afghanistan and Iran could be undermined. In the worst case, the President could be confronted with a major crisis of confidence among members of the EU. He would be blamed for inattention to the negative trends. —Things are not in crisis, but the trends are worrying enough to warrant a senior effort to focus the dialogue, especially with the Germans and the French. Assuming the Conservatives win in the UK, there will be a need to guide them successfully into office. Others such as the Poles and the Turks cannot be ignored. -- In other words, we cannot treat our partnership with Europe as just another point on a multipolar map. Maintaining consensus within Europe and between the US and Europe is essential to maintaining a foundation for our global efforts.

(AP Photo/RIA Novosti, pool) (AP) Updated at 1:29 p.m. ET Prime Minister Vladimir Putin played the eco-warrior in Russia's Arctic on Thursday, helping scientists track endangered polar bears and calling for a cleanup of the region. Putin traveled to Franz Josef Land, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean off the northwest coast of Russia's mainland in his latest display of adventuring prowess to highlight the country's guardianship of the resource-rich region. Wearing a bright red coat and cap, the 57-year-old premier kneeled at the head of a tranquilized polar bear to attach a satellite-tracking collar, then helped elevate the beast for weighing. The images were broadcast nationally. Putin helped measure the bear and roll it onto its side.

"The paw is heavy. This is the master of the Arctic, you can feel that straight away," Putin said. Of a total 25,000 polar bears remaining in the wild, about 6,000 are in Russia's Arctic territory, Russian news agencies quoted officials as saying. Putin also called for "a general cleanup of the Arctic," ordering the removal of thousands of barrels of fuel buried in the snow that had been left unused by a Soviet-era military base. He has been spearheading Russia's re-emergence as a regional power, including the country's claims over the Arctic's formidable natural resources. Some 90 billion barrels of oil and one-third of the world's undiscovered natural gas lie hidden in the Arctic region, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates. "Geopolitically, Russia's deepest interests are linked to the Arctic," Putin said. "Here Russia's security and defense capabilities is provided for. Here there are vitally important transport communications." Canada, the U.S., Russia and Denmark have competing claims before a United Nations commission regarding extend their undersea boundaries into areas previously blocked by Arctic ice. Moscow dramatically staked its claim to the region by dropping a flag on the ocean floor at the North Pole in 2007. Since then, all four countries have agreed to cool their rhetoric and allow scientists to finish their surveys. Putin adores the media spotlight when it accentuates his macho side. He has been photographed fishing bare-chested in Russia's Altai region, and was shown on television diving into an icy river and swimming the butterfly stroke. He has also tackled predators in the wild before, shooting a tiger with a tranquilizer gun and releasing leopards.

Issues having to do with the status of children world-wide, health liaison to US AID and a variety of issues within the realm of disaster response and preparedness. - I just today participated in and spoke at a major conference in DC on nuclear terrorism. Most of the speakers and participants were federal officials, including WH staff. One of the key points I made was the extraordinary disconnect between administration concerns with respect to the possibility of IND/nuclear terrorism and the degree to which this is essentially ignored in state and local disaster planning, including in the principal target cities. My discussions with officials in Great Britain and a couple of other countries reveal a similar inability to deal with nuclear preparedness. For many of these folks, here and abroad, images of apocalyptic destruction - as was the actual threat during the nuclear arms race with the Soviets - are just paralyzing. However, a terrorist IND, is not an all-out nuclear war. Current, scientific modeling suggests that minimal planning for an IND could save hundreds of thousands of lives and create a much high level of resiliency than we currently have I believe that an international consortium of disaster response and recovery planning officials should be considered as a means of increasing attention and resources focused on nuclear - and CBRNE in general - terrorism readiness. We have much that could be learned from one another in terms of advancing this work. My center at Columbia recently held a very successful and productive conference called "Day 3" , focused on the regional conditions and projections 72 hours post IND detonation. - Natural disasters also remain a major challenge and potentially increasingly so over the years to come. I feel that there is much to be gained by upgrading the level and quality of our international collaboration around disaster response planning - and particularly major disaster recovery, still one of the great unsolved challenges world-wide.

Some were American nationals, others not. But the reports from people involved in the process were overwhelmingly concerned about lack of coordination, dangerously inadequate information accompanying many of the kids who came over and lots of less than positive feedback about operations within Haiti. I believe that I could help in the organization of emergency response, overseeing some of the key functions in managing international disasters which end up involving the U.S. - I had a chance and very interesting meeting with Ban Ki-Moon 2 weeks ago. I mentioned an idea I have been thinking about having to do with another world children's summit. The last one was in 1990, held at the U.N. and involving about 150 countries, including heads of state from about 45 - 50 nations. Conditions for children were outlined and goals set for future improvements - many of which were met, many not.. We are overdue for another world gathering focused on children. This would obviously by in Tony Lake's purview, and I was going to visit with him, bringing Jeff Sachs with me. - We did discuss this a bit last year, but I am hoping that the U.S. could continue to expand its involvement in global health diplomacy strategies as a part of U.S. smart power agenda. The global health program at Columbia - and a number of other academic centers - could provide resources, ideas, programs, expertise and relevant research to bolster such efforts. If you think it would be worthwhile, I would look forward to continuing our conversations.

One of the key points I made was the extraordinary disconnect between administration concerns with respect to the possibility of IND/nuclear terrorism and the degree to which this is essentially ignored in state and local disaster planning, including in the principal target cities. My discussions with officials in Great Britain and a couple of other countries reveal a similar inability to deal with nuclear preparedness. For many of these folks, here and abroad, images of apocalyptic destruction - as was the actual threat during the nuclear arms race with the Soviets - are just paralyzing. However, a terrorist IND, is not an all-out nuclear war. Current, scientific modeling suggests that minimal planning for an IND could save hundreds of thousands of lives and create a much high level of resiliency than we currently have I believe that an international consortium of disaster response and recovery planning officials should be considered as a means of increasing attention and resources focused on nuclear - and CBRNE in general - terrorism readiness.

My center at Columbia recently held a very successful and productive conference called "Day 3" , focused on the regional conditions and projections 72 hours post IND detonation. - Natural disasters also remain a major challenge and potentially increasingly so over the years to come. I feel that there is much to be gained by upgrading the level and quality of our international collaboration around disaster response planning - and particularly major disaster recovery, still one of the great unsolved challenges world-wide. - As a member of the federally appointed National Commission on Children and Disasters, we just completed a field hearing of state and federal officials on the management of children brought from Haiti to Florida for medical care and humanitarian rescue. Some were American nationals, others not. But the reports from people involved in the process were overwhelmingly concerned about lack of coordination, dangerously inadequate information accompanying many of the kids who came over and lots of less than positive feedback about operations within Haiti. I believe that I could help in the organization of emergency response, overseeing some of the key functions in managing international disasters which end up involving the U.S. - I had a chance and very interesting meeting with Ban Ki-Moon 2 weeks ago. I mentioned an idea I have been thinking about having to do with another world children's summit. The last one was in 1990, held at the U.N. and involving about 150 countries, including heads of state from about 45 - 50 nations. Conditions for children were outlined and goals set for future improvements - many of which were met, many not.. We are overdue for another world gathering focused on children. This would obviously by in Tony Lake's purview, and I was going to visit with him, bringing Jeff Sachs with me. - We did discuss this a bit last year, but I am hoping that the U.S. could continue to expand its involvement in global health diplomacy strategies as a part of U.S. smart power agenda. The global health program at Columbia - and a number of other academic centers - could provide resources, ideas, programs, expertise and relevant research to bolster such efforts. • If you think it would be worthwhile, I would look forward to continuing our conversations.

Sid From Gary Sick Mojtaba Samareh Hashemi is a senior adviser to President Ahmadinejad and a devoted proponent of the Divine Right of Kings doctrine of ultra-conservative ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi. Many regard him as an eminence grise of the Iranian regime and an important bridge between the Revolutionary Guards, the fanatic-fringe ayatollahs, and the presidency. So his words are worth listening to as clues to what is happening inside the closed circles of the Iranian leadership. Today he was quoted by the Fars news agency (in Persian) on the troublesome issue of U.S.-Iran relations. Although the statement was translated into English, it needs more than a word-for-word translation in order to be understood. So I have added my own interpretation of what Mojtaba really meant to say. "Obama not only did not manage to realize his slogan [of change], but has pursued the dark policies of Bush all over the world ever more energetically..." [real meaning: Oh, how we miss George Bush! He was such an easy target. With him we were winning everywhere and America's credibility was falling to the point of disappearance even among its friends.] "The Bush presidency is one of the darkest eras of the United States and the greatest hatred emerged internationally towards the United States..." [Why can't Obama be more like Bush? In the good old days we didn't have to keep answering questions about why we would not accept an outstretched hand of friendship. It was all so much easier then.] "Today we see that the United States rather than moving its military forces out of Iraq and Afghanistan has increased their number which has led to mass murder of the people and increased impoverishment in these countries. Obama had said that he wanted to oppose violation of human rights and wanted to close Guantanamo and secret prisons in Europe. Did this happen? Of course not..." [The United States has announced its withdrawal from Iraq and actually seems to be on schedule; in the meantime, our favorite parties and politicians in Iraq have not done all that well in the Iraqi elections despite our support. The Shi'i religious leaders in Najaf openly dismiss the idea of an Islamic Republic and are increasingly competing with us, instead of following our lead. In Afghanistan, the Americans seem to be serious about announcing a date certain for withdrawal, and they even seem to be edging up to a Karzai reconciliation strategy with the Taliban. How can we attack them with a straight face when they behave this way!] "There has also not been any correction of the dark policy of Bush towards Iran's nuclear program or [the United State's] opposition towards the Iranian nation..." [Their willingness to meet with us and that dastardly offer of a uranium swap were hugely embarrassing. Now every time we sit down with a foreign leader we have to listen to tiresome suggestions that we should reconsider our position on the uranium swap — even from the Russians and Chinese. You can't trust anyone these days!] "We do not want anything from the United States. The Iranian nation demands its rights to be recognized and respected..." [All we want from the Americans is the return of George Bush! Even John McCain would be an improvement. I wonder if Sarah Palin has any chance? We'll keep our fingers crossed.] "The Islamic Republic has not become isolated, rather, it is expanding [its foreign relations] ever more and is finding new UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768859 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768859 Date: 08/31/2015 friends... if they have claims, they must show it in their actions so the Iranian nation gradually trusts them..." [We have never been so alone since the earliest years of the revolution. Even dictators and police states are privately expressing sympathy to us for the way our crackdown on the Green Movement attracted sympathetic attention all over the world. And it's all the fault of that *&!*Obama and the %$#! internet. The shah never had all these problems.

President Obama was courageous, persevering and skilled in his leadership and efforts. Having said that, in my humble opinion, he would not have been successful had it not been for President Clinton's, Hillary's and our efforts in 1994. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, and I believe it's true. I know this has been a particularly demanding week in the life of the Secretary and in your life as well. Having Netanyahu, AIPAC and a major trip to Mexico to fight the narco-traffickers is a formidable task even for Hillary Clinton. Cheryl, I would like to respectfully request a brief meeting or phone call with Secretary Clinton following up on the conversation she initiated with me at the Vital Voices event regarding the IDB. It's my sense and belief that this matter needs to be carefully handled for a number of reasons including the longstanding friendship that both the Secretary and President Clinton have with Luis Alberto Moreno. I also have another important and timely matter (personal not business) that I would like to discuss with Hillary in our time together. As I think you know, I try to be very judicious about these types of requests. I think 15 minutes either in person or by phone will be adequate to cover both of these subjects. As always, I appreciate your consideration relating to my request. Thank you and I'll await your guidance and direction.

Sid htto://www. haaretz.com/hasers/spagesil 158992. html Aluf Benn / Netanyahu leaves U.S. disgraced, isolated and weaker By Ake Berm Details emerging from Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington remain incomplete, but the conclusion may nonetheless be drawn that the prime minister erred in choosing to fly to the United States this week. The visit - touted as a fencemending effort, a bid to strengthen the tenuous ties between Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama - only highlighted the deep rift between the American and Israeli administrations. The prime minister leaves America disgraced, isolated, and altogether weaker than when he came. Instead of setting the diplomatic agenda, Netanyahu surrendered control over it. Instead of leaving the Palestinian issue aside and focusing on Iran, as he would like, Netanyahu now finds himself fighting for the legitimacy of Israeli control over East Jerusalem. Advertisement The most sensitive and insoluble core issues - those which when raised a decade ago led to the dissolution of the peace process and explosion of the second intifada - are now being served as a mere appetizer. At the start of his visit, Netanyahu was tempted to bask in the warm welcome he received at the AIPAC conference, at which he gave his emotional address on Jerusalem. Taking a page from Menachem Begin, he spoke not on behalf of the State of Israel, but in the name of the Jewish people itself and its millennia of history. His speech was not radical rightist rhetoric. Reading between the lines, one could spot a certain willingness to relinquish West Bank settlements as long as Israel maintains a security buffer in the Jordan Valley. But at the White House, the prime minister's speech to thousands of pro-Israel activists and hundreds of cheering congressmen looked like an obvious attempt to raise political capital against the American president. Knowing Netanyahu would be reenergized by his speech at the lobby, Obama and his staff set him a honey trap. Over the weekend they sought to quell the row that flared up during U.S. Vice President Joe Biden's trip here two weeks ago, and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described Netanyahu's response to the ultimatums Washington presented to him as "useful." Special envoy George Mitchell made a televised visit to the prime minister's bureau Sunday to invite Netanyahu to the White House. Washington, it seemed, was trying to make nice. Far from it. Just when Netanyahu thought he had resolved the crisis by apologizing to Biden, Clinton called him up for a dressing down. This time as well, Netanyahu almost believed the crisis had passed, that he had survived by offering partial. noncommittal answers to the Americans' questions. Shortly before meeting with Obama, Netanyahu even warned the Palestinians that UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768882 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768882 Date: 08/31/2015 should they continue to demand a freeze on construction, he would postpone peace talks by a year. His arrogant tone underscored the fact that Netanyahu believed that on the strength of his AIPAC speech, he could call the next few steps of the diplomatic dance. But then calamity struck. At their White House meeting, Obama made clear to his guest that the letter Netanyahu had sent was insufficient and returned it for further corrections. Instead of a reception as a guest of honor, Netanyahu was treated as a problem child, an army private ordered to do laps around the base for slipping up at roll call. The revolution in the Americans' behavior is clear to all. On Sunday morning Obama was still anxiously looking ahead to the House of Representatives vote on health care - the last thing he wanted was a last-minute disagreement with congressmen over ties with Israel. The moment the bill was passed, however, a victorious Obama was free to deal with his unruly guest. The Americans made every effort to downplay the visit. As during his last visit in November, Netanyahu was invited to the White House at a late hour, without media coverage or a press conference. If that were not enough, the White House spokesman challenged Netanyahu's observation at AIPAC that "Jerusalem is not a settlement." The Americans didn't even wait for him to leave Washington to make their disagreement known. It was not the behavior Washington shows an ally, but the kind it shows an annoyance. The approval of construction at the Shepherd Hotel in Sheikh Jarrah, announced before his meeting with Obama, again caught Netanyahu unawares. Apparently the special panel appointed after the Ramat Shlomo debacle to prevent such surprises failed its first test. Netanyahu is having his most difficult week since returning to office, beginning with the unfortunate decision to relocate the planned emergency room at Ashkelon's Barzilai Medical Center and lasting through his humiliating jaunt through Washington. Returning to Israel today, Netanyahu will need to work hard to rehabilitate his image, knowing full well that Obama will not relent, but instead demand that he stop zigzagging and decide, once and for all, whether he stands with America or with the settlers.

He indicated he might be speaking with the Secretary very soon on this. He was very pleased with the Secretary's leadership of such a high level delegation, the support for President Calderon's efforts, and the attention Mexico and the border is now getting, and had spoken yesterday with Secretary Napolitano. He stressed that he thinks we should be doing more for Mexico (he mentioned only wanting to get funding for Mexican improvements to ports of entry). I ran intc going in as I was leaving, expressed some frustration at Mexican positions during yesterday's meeting, but was extremely grateful for the US participation and the Secretary's leadership. We agreed to get together very soon to review "action items" coming out of the meeting. Many thanks, Roberta Roberta S.

That's the amount each donor nation will have to ante up for a say in Haiti's early recovery under a plan Haitian President Rene Preval plans to present at an international donors conference in New York at month's end. While Haitian and foreign disaster experts were tallying the cost to rebuild after the Jan. 12, 7.0-magnitude earthquake -- $11.5 billion -- Preval and his advisors have been quietly negotiating the blueprint of the development plan that will shape Haiti's reconstruction over the next decade. "It moves it in the right direction," Mark Schneider, senior vice president of the Washington D.C.-based International Crisis Group, said of the plan, which he has seen. "I've said, the first phase of reconstruction is a decade. The real test is a generation and hopefully with partnerships both inside and outside of Haiti, it will continue for that time period." The plan includes creation of an Interim Haitian Recovery Commission that will -- for the first time -- seek to guide how and where aid is spent by giving both Haitians and foreigners a vote in reconstruction priorities and projects over the next 18 months. Haiti's president will retain veto power and there's a starring role for former U.S. President Bill Clinton if he wants it. The blueprint is certain to come under plenty of scrutiny in Haiti, a country plagued and in-fighting among donors. Over the years, billions of dollars in aid -- often delivered after hurricanes or political coups -- has failed to produce any signs of lasting progress in a country that remains the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768926 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768926 Date: 08/31/2015 Clinton, who is to visit Haiti Monday along with former President George W. Bush, will be asked to help lead Haiti's reconstruction planning over the short-term as co-chair -- along with the Haitian prime minister - of the commission, several sources confirmed to The Miami Herald. Clinton, who is already in charge of the international relief effort for the United Nations, has not said whether he'll accept the job as Haiti's reconstruction czar but he has championed the strategy, saying the goal is to provide to Haitians the success that has long eluded them.He and Bush are visiting Haiti, where more than 200,000 people were killed in the quake, in their roles as co-chairs of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. The private U.S. fundraising effort, initiated by President Obama, has raised more than $36 million. The commission's goal will be to plan and coordinate reconstruction priorities and projects over the next 18 months with recommendations from a 20-member board made up of Haitians and foreign donors. Eventually, the commission would morph into the Haiti Development Authority (HDA), a central planning agency tasked with approving all reconstruction projects in Haiti regardless of which country or aid agency is funding it. The authority's executive director, like that of the commission, likely would be a well-respected Haitian. "Haitians must have the chance to lead the rebuilding of Haiti," said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's chief of staff Cheryl Mills, a key person in talks. "Development authorities have helped other countries that have large donor communities to accomplish their visions -- we want no less for Haiti and its citizens." The original plan, first reported by The Herald last month, was modeled on the successful reconstruction authority created in Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami and presented by Mills to Preval and top Haitian officials last month. Other countries and multilateral institutions also presented plans to the Haitian government. The U.S. plan has since undergone several revisions at Preyal's urging. Among them: offering a voting seat on the commission's board to each donor pledging $100 million or more over the next two years and donors who provide $200 million in debt cancellation. As a result, Venezuela is among the likely donors to help review and approve projects. Initially 16 members, the board was expanded to give a say-so to Haiti's private sector and labor unions and the 15-nation sub-regional Caribbean Community (CARCIOM). The plan also establishes a Multi-donor Trust Fund, administered by the World Bank, to possibly pool donors' dollars for reconstruction projects. For decades, Haiti has been plagued by a lack of planning and coordination among donor nations and aid groups as they battled among each other in the poverty-stricken country. Using the Indonesian model employed in Indonesia after the Asian tsunami, plan supporters say the reconstruction commission offers Haiti the best chance to lead its own redevelopment and to change the way donors do business, ending an era where aid groups spend budgets larger than Haitian ministries without any accountability to the Haitian people. But that can only be achieved in Haiti, say supporters, if donors and their projects are coordinated, and in line with Haiti's vision and post-disaster reconstruction needs, which will be presented at the March 31 New York conference and remains a work in progress while the government seeks input from various Haitian groups, including the Diaspora. Also Haiti's parliament must vote on the creation of the Interim Haitian Recovery Commission. Still, the idea of putting Haiti's reconstruction into the hands of one central authority -- or having some donors channel their money into a trust fund -- is not without detractors. Some argue that the authority could render government ministries obsolete because projects would now bypass them, while others point out that UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768926 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05768926 Date: 08/31/2015 a similar World Bank fund in the Sudan has been troubled by rules leaving schools and healthcare facilities undone as hundreds of millions of dollars remain unspent. Meanwhile, Haitian government officials worry that donors may not want to change the way they do business with Haiti, rendering the reconstruction a failure before it gets started. "The creation of the [trust fund] or the [Haiti Development Authority] are improvements to changing the paradigm if and only if everybody plays the game -- putting most of their money in the fund -- and access to the funds is more flexible than the usual process of disbursing from the international donors," Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told The Herald. In the past, donors have pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to assist Haiti but have fallen short in disbursing those dollars -- or at times spent the money on projects without consulting the Haitian government about whether the projects were needed. Last week, as representatives of the Haitian government and others met to prepare for the New York conference, Bellerive warned that "New York could be a failure if we don't reach an agreement on the structure for the coordination and the organization of the trust fund. ..(and) don't manage to establish together the priorities for immediate investments," to begin reconstructing the country. © 2010 Miami Herald Media Company.

President Obama was courageous, persevering and skilled in his leadership and efforts. Having said that, in my humble opinion, he would not have been successful had it not been for President Clinton's, Hillary's and our efforts in 1994. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, and I believe it's true. I know this has been a particularly demanding week in the life of the Secretary and in your life as well. Having Netanyahu, AIPAC and a major trip to Mexico to fight the narco-traffickers is a formidable task even for Hillary Clinton. Cheryl, I would like to respectfully request a brief meeting or phone call with Secretary Clinton following up on the conversation she initiated with me at the Vital Voices event regarding the IDB. It's my sense and belief that this matter needs to be carefully handled for a number of reasons including the longstanding friendship that both the Secretary and President Clinton have with Luis Alberto Moreno. I also have another important and timely matter (personal not business) that I would like to discuss with Hillary in our time together. As I think you know, I try to be very judicious about these types of requests. I think 15 minutes either in person or by phone will be adequate to cover both of these subjects.

He also worked for Clinton Admn and helped with disaster relief (including earthquakes) around the world. He called me today with some suggestions (some of which may be moot), so I asked him to put them into a memo. Here it is, for what it's worth: B6 I think the fundamental issue is that no one seems to be in charge and no one person has been tasked with trying to pull all of the pieces together into a short term and long term plan. Obviously in the short term, search and rescue and food and water are the main priorities. There seems to be little communication between the various areas where people have congregated and a central command post where agencies can call or radio for additional supplies including food, water and medical. I don't recommend DoD be put in charge of this. They rarely have the kind of touch that brings together all the necessary agencies under one roof. I would set up a central command that has representatives from all federal agencies in one place. There is no reason things should be this disorganized. I would break the island into grids and assign one person to be the coordinator for each of the grids. That person will be responsible for all activities within their grid and will report activities to the island on-scene coordinator. We should get a radio company like Motorola to set up temporary towers and give the State Department several hundred radios so everyone involved in the response is able to communicate with the command post and with each other. I think one of the most important roles for DoD is to provide security for the rescue teams and medical teams. They also should be responsible for the operation of the airport, for off loading planes and for scheduling all incoming flights so there is no lost time waiting for planes to land. I also think DoD should be responsible for airlifting supplies that are requested by each one of the grid coordinators. Additionally, the helicopters should be used to move critical patients to the hospital ship on the way and to the aircraft carrier currently on station. At least once a day, the coordinator assigned by the President and the Secretary of State should be responsible for getting situation reports from all agencies on site, particularly regarding food and water, security, medical and search and rescue. The lack of command and control is allowing the situation to become more chaotic rather than more coordinated. I believe that if the Secretary were to talk to the other nations involved through the UN, they would be supportive of better coordination. Bottom line is that there is no order to the operation and you need strong people in there who can speak on behalf of the President and the Secretary and get things under control quickly. I hope this is helpful. If you or the Secretary have any questions please We leave for Tokyo at 7:15 am feel free to call me on my cell tomorrow and transfer to a United flight due back in DC at 2:30 pm tomorrow. Please give the Secretary my best regards. I hope to see you soon.

In a hardening of positions on both sides, the Chinese government also on Friday threw down a direct public challenge to the US search company, with a warning that it was not prepared to compromise on intemet censorship to stop Google leaving. The signs that Google was on the brink of closing Google.cn, its local search service in China, came two months after it promised to stop bowing to censorship there. But while a decision could be made very soon, the company is likely to take some time to follow through with the plan as it seeks an orderly closure and takes steps to protect local employees from retaliation by the authorities, the person familiar with its position said. Google is also seeking ways to keep its other operations in China going, although some executives fear that a backlash from the Chinese authorities could make it almost impossible to keep a presence in the country. When the search giant first promised to end censorship in response to what it claimed were a series of cyberattacks mounted from inside China, many China-watchers warned that its public defiance of Beijing would provoke a stern response. On Friday, Li Yizhong, minister for industry and information technology, said: "If [Google] takes steps that violate Chinese laws, that would be unfriendly, that would be irresponsible, and they would have to bear the consequences."

The company has also ruled out keeping the search service going by handing majority control, or even the entire business, to a local player, this person said. Google's executives have made it clear that they still hope to stay in the country, whatever the fate of Google.cn. "It's very important to know we are not pulling out of China," Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive, told the Financial Times at the time. "We have a good business in China. This is about the censorship rules, not anything else." The company's other operations, which pre-date the launch of Google.cn four years ago, include its research centre in Beijing and a sales force that sells advertising on the Chinese-language Google.com search service, based outside China, to advertisers inside the country. Mr Li encouraged Google to continue its operations in the country. "[Google] has taken 30 per cent of the Chinese search market. "If you don't leave, China will welcome that, if you don't leave, it will be beneficial for the development of the internet in China." ******************************************** ******** **** Evan S.

We just held a town hall meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss the anticipated Mexican travel warning/authorized departure/compensation issues. We also briefed the staff on a Wardens Message we were making yesterday about trouble anticipated this weekend at what is believed to be a cartel-owned or —associated nightclub located very close to the Consulate General. There is concern within the Consulate community that the attacks today were a cartel response to the Wardens Message. At this time we have no indication that this linkage with the Wardens Message exists, and there is information that in the case of Ms. Enriquez and her husband the attack was a case of mistaken identity on the part of the cartel hit squad. Our information on the Salcido/Antillon incident is still largely incomplete. Although the fact that both families had attended the same social event earlier in the afternoon suggests some kind of linkage between the two attacks, so far we have not been able to make a determination one way or the other as to whether such a linkage exists.

Earlier on March 13, drug cartel hit teams fired upon two separate privately owned vehicles at two separate locations. The incidents happened between 1400 and 1700 local. In one vehicle, the husband of a LES was killed. In the second, the LES and her husband were killed. Both LES were at the same social event before the hit. The PO is working to find out if anyone else is at risk. PO McGrath said colleagues in El Paso state there are some indications that the attack was a case of mistaken identity. A vehicle of similar make & model is being targeted by the cartels. RSO Greg Houston is currently in Monterrey, but is working with his A/RSO to send a spot report. RSO Houston's is reachable in Monterrey at Both LES were State FSNs. Ops is attempting to obtain their names.

Not bad overall at this point. Pakistan Media: Coverage of the final round of the U.S.-Pak Strategic Dialogue dominated the front pages of all newspapers and hourly bulletins of TV networks on Friday morning. Media highlighted reports that the U.S. and Pakistan sought "wide-ranging, long term and substantive partnership," and "established a policy steering group for further talks on strategic issues." The signing of a letter of intent between the U.S. and Pakistan to help reconstruction of priority roads in Malakand division also received prominent display. Secretary of Defense Gates' meeting with his Pakistani counterpart, and his comments that the "U.S. wants to increase the military funding of Pakistan" received coverage. Pak Army Chief General Kayani's remarks that the "military is willing to forgo its requests for hardware to ensure that Pakistan's energy and economic needs are met" were also reported. Reports that GOP and the opposition are not on same page regarding talks with the U.S. received front-page display. The civilian nuclear deal issue made news as "The News," reported that the "FO seeks to hide unease over nuclear snub" and "The Nation," reported on front-page that "U.S. affirms durable partnership but no civilian N-deal." However Foreign Office spokesman's remarks, that the "government is optimistic about a positive outcome" was also reported. Terming the U.S. commitment of $125 million for the power sector, as "crucial," "The News," noted in its editorial that "it needs to be translated into action urgently." Its sister masscirculated Urdu daily, "Jang," however noted with a word of caution, that "we think that the present U.S. overtures to woo Pakistan are not completely altruistic. It remains to be seen what Washington wants from Islamabad." A prominent columnist, Ayesha Siddiqa noted in "Dawn," that "the U.S. might have realized that it will have to listen to Pakistan and feel concerned about its inherent insecurity vis-a-vis India's role in Afghanistan."

Statement by the Secretary Murders in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico Today the men and women of the Department of State are mourning the murder of three people connected to the United States Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. One American consulate employee was killed along with her husband, and the husband of a Mexican employee was also killed. I offer my deepest sympathies to the family, loved ones and colleagues of these victims. The safety and security of our personnel and their families in Mexico and at posts around the world is always our highest priority. I have spoken with our Ambassador in Mexico and we are working with the Government of Mexico to do everything necessary to protect our people and to ensure that the perpetrators of these horrendous acts are brought to justice. These appalling assaults on members of our own State Department family are, sadly, part of a growing tragedy besetting many communities in Mexico. They underscore the imperative of our continued commitment to work closely with the Government of President Calderon to cripple the influence of trafficking organizations at work in Mexico. This is a responsibility we must shoulder together, particularly in border communities where strong bonds of history, culture, and common interest bind the Mexican and the American people closely together.

Also, I've included an article by Max Blumenthal, who spends his time on this issue and plans to move to Israel for about 6-8 months to write a book. He tracks a lot of things that do not appear in the mainstream press. Sid http://mideast.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2010/03/14/the_petraeus_briefing_biden_s_embarrassment_is_not_the_whole_sto ry The Petraeus briefing: Biden's embarrassment is not the whole story Posted By Mark Perry 4Saturday, March 13, 2010 On Jan. 16, two days after a killer earthquake hit Haiti, a team of senior military officers from the U.S. Central Command (responsible for overseeing American security interests in the Middle East), arrived at the Pentagon to brief Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The team had been dispatched by CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus to underline his growing worries at the lack of progress in resolving the issue. The 33slide, 45-minute PowerPoint briefing stunned Mullen. The briefers reported that there was a growing perception among Arab leaders that the U.S. was incapable of standing up to Israel, that CENTCOM's mostly Arab constituency was losing faith in American promises, that Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardizing U.S. standing in the region, and that Mitchell himself was (as a senior Pentagon officer later bluntly described it) "too old, too slow ... and too late." The January Mullen briefing was unprecedented. No previous CENTCOM commander had ever expressed himself on what is essentially a political issue; which is why the briefers were careful to tell Mullen that their conclusions followed from a December 2009 tour of the region where, on Petraeus's instructions, they spoke to senior Arab leaders. "Everywhere they went, the message was pretty humbling," a Pentagon officer familiar with the briefing says. "America was not only viewed as weak, but its military posture in the region was eroding." But Petraeus wasn't finished: two days after the Mullen briefing, Petraeus sent a paper to the White House requesting that the West Bank and Gaza (which, with Israel, is a part of the European Command -- or EUCOM), be made a part of his area of operations. Petraeus's reason was straightforward: with U.S. troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. military had to be perceived by Arab leaders as engaged in the region's most troublesome conflict. [UPDATE: A senior military officer denied Sunday that Petraeus sent a paper to the White House. "CENTCOM did have a team brief the CJCS on concerns revolving around the Palestinian issue, and CENTCOM did propose a UCP change, but to CJCS, not to the WH," the officer said via email. "GEN Petraeus was not certain what might have been conveyed to the WH (if anything) from that brief to CJCS." (UCP means "unified combatant command," like CENTCOM; CJCS refers to Mullen; and WH is the White House.)] The Mullen briefing and Petraeus's request hit the White House like a bombshell. While Petraeus's request that CENTCOM be expanded to include the Palestinians was denied ("it was dead on arrival," a Pentagon officer confirms), the Obama administration decided it would redouble its efforts -- pressing Israel once again on the settlements issue, sending Mitchell on a visit to a number of Arab capitals and dispatching Mullen for a carefully arranged meeting with the chief of the Israeli General Staff, Lt. General Gabi Ashkenazi. While the American press speculated that Mullen's trip focused on Iran, the JCS Chairman actually carried a blunt, and tough, message on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: that Israel had to see its conflict with the Palestinians "in a larger, regional, context" -- as having a direct impact on America's status in the region. Certainly, it was thought, Israel would get the message.

When Vice President Joe Biden was embarrassed by an Israeli announcement that the Netanyahu government was building 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem, the administration reacted. But no one was more outraged than Biden who, according to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, engaged in a private, and angry, exchange with the Israeli Prime Minister. Not surprisingly, what Biden told Netanyahu reflected the importance the administration attached to Petraeus's Mullen briefing: "This is starting to get dangerous for us," Biden reportedly told Netanyahu. "What you're doing here undermines the security of our troops who are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. That endangers us and it endangers regional peace." Yedioth Ahronoth went on to report: "The vice president told his Israeli hosts that since many people in the Muslim world perceived a connection between Israel's actions and US policy, any decision about construction that undermines Palestinian rights in East Jerusalem could have an impact on the personal safety of American troops fighting against Islamic terrorism." The message couldn't be plainer: Israel's intransigence could cost American lives. There are important and powerful lobbies in America: the NRA, the American Medical Association, the lawyers -- and the Israeli lobby. But no lobby is as important, or as powerful, as the U.S. military. While commentators and pundits might reflect that Joe Biden's trip to Israel has forever shifted America's relationship with its erstwhile ally in the region, the real break came in January, when David Petraeus sent a briefing team to the Pentagon with a stark warning: America's relationship with Israel is important, but not as important as the lives of America's soldiers. Maybe Israel gets the message now. Mark Perry's newest book is Talking To Terrorists http://warincontext.org/2olo/o3/14/israel-is-putting-american-liyes-at-risk/ My piece on the briefing of Admiral Mullen by CENTCOM senior officers has occasioned a great deal of comment, as well as some skepticism: how accurate is the account? Was it told to me by direct participants in the briefing? Is there any basis for imagining that Petraeus has any kind of hidden agenda, whether that is a desire to expand CENTCOM — or even hostility towards Israel. I won't name my sources, even though it's clear to people in the Pentagon — and certainly to General Petraeus — who they are. Was I told of the briefing by the briefers themselves? I will only say that there were four people in the briefing — the two briefers, Admiral Mullen, and Admiral Mullen's primary adviser on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I know two of the people involved in the briefing. Whether or not they are my sources is something for the reader to determine. The account is not only accurate, it's a precis of what actually happened. There is a lot more to it. The White House, State Department and Pentagon have not denied the account, and for good reason: it's true. Is there any basis for imagining that Petraeus has any kind of hidden agenda in ordering the briefing? I have been reporting on the American military for thirty years. My work on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Four Stars, is the authoritative account on the subject. I have deeply rooted contacts in the military that go back thirty years. I have never met a senior military officer whom I do not admire. There is no greater insult than to believe that General Petraeus or any other senior American military officer would use the lives of American soldiers as a lever to enhance their own political future. My sense is that General Petraeus neither likes nor dislikes Israel: but he loves his country and he wants to protect our soldiers. The current crisis in American relations with Israel is not a litmus test of General Petraeus's loyalty to Israel, but of his, and our, concern for those Americans in uniform in the Middle East. It is, perhaps, a sign of the depth of "the Biden crisis" that every controversy of this type seems to get translated into whether or not America and its leaders are committed to Israel's security. This isn't about Israel's security, it's about our security.

Vice President Joe Biden was greeted in Jerusalem with the announcement that the Israeli Interior Ministry approved the construction of 1600 new homes in Occupied East Jerusalem contrary to U.S. wishes and complicating Biden's mission to help jump start the peace process. But Biden should have known that Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu intended to upset his plans by Netanyahu's appearance with John Hagee. The day after a series of talks between US Special Envoy for the Middle East George Mitchell and Netanyahu, and a day before Biden's arrival, Netanyahu appeared onstage with Pastor John Hagee in Jerusalem. The occasion was Hagee's Night To Honor Israel, an event the far-right Texas-based preacher arranged to tout his ministry's millions in donations to Israeli organizations and to level bellicose rhetoric against Israel's perceived enemies. At the gathering, Hagee called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "the Hitler of the Middle East" and denounced the Goldstone Report as "character assassination by an unbiased and uninformed committee." Netanyahu welcomed the crowd of 1000 American evangelicals to Jerusalem, a city he described as "the undivided, eternal capitol of the Jewish people. Then, he told them, "I salute you! The Jewish people salute you!" He used the rest of his speech to call for "tough, biting sanctions" against Iran that "bite deep into its energy sector." Hagee and Netanyahu appear together on stage: r-X In the audience were top-level members of the Israeli government, from Ambassador Michael Oren to Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat to Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon. Also present was Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, the chief rabbi of the illegal West Bank settlement of Efrat who gained notoriety for lobbying President Bill Clinton to pardon his friend, fugitive billionaire Marc Rich. Ayalon had stirred controversy days before when he refused to meet with a US congressional delegation brought to Israel by the progressive Jewish group J Street. Part One of Hagee's speech: X Part Two. X Pastor Hagee in Jerusalem 3/8/10 (Part II) from Max J Blumenthal on Vimeo. Hagee's ceremony featured a 15-minute film highlighting the recipients of donations from John Hagee Ministries that totaled $58 million since 2001. The recipients included Jewish settlements from the West Bank like Gush Etzion and Shomron, which was involved in promoting an "Obama Hilltop project" that promoted more settlement building and compared Obama to Pharoah. Hagee also announced funding for a pressure group run by the settlers evacuated from Gush Katif in Gaza in 2005. During Israel's assault on Gaza in 2009, a group of Gush Katif residents lobbied the Israel government to allow them to resettle the Palestinian coastal region. Who is Hagee funding in Israel? X Who Is Haoee Funding In Israel? from Max Blumenthal on Vimeo. The most notable of Hagee's funding recipients was an organization called Im Tirtzu. A student representative of this group appeared in the film to thank Hagee for "help[ing] us to ensure that students in Israel are on the right path, the path of Zionism, the love of Israel, the path of solidarity." Another student called for "the second revolution in Israel." In February, Im Tirtzu funding a smear campaign against former Knesset member and New Israel Fund Director Naomi Chazan that included posters caricaturing her with a horn on her head. The group misleadingly accused the New Israel Fund of bankrolling 16 human rights organizations that contributed documentation to the Goldstone Report. The smear campaign led to unsuccessful legislation in the Knesset designed to further cripple already marginalized Israeli human rights groups. Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post fired Chazan as a columnist without explanation. Gideon Levy, a columnist for Ha'aretz, called Im Tirtzu "a McCarthyite movement" for its attacks on Chazan. Although CUFI attempted to distance itself from Im Tirtzu's campaign, the organization's appearance during CUFI's Jerusalem ceremony suggested that Hagee would continue to provide it with funding well into the future. Republican Senator John McCain repudiated the endorsement of Hagee during his 2008 presidential campaign after Hagee's statements describing the Holocaust as a fulfillment of divine prophecy came to light. Hagee has also said that UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769013 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769013 Date: 08/31/2015 he believed the anti-Christ was "partially Jewish, as was Adolph Hitler." However, none of Hagee's comments have deterred Israeli government officials from embracing him or accepting his millions in annual charity. During Hagee's speech, he made no secret of his support for the illegal settlement enterprise that has been the source of difficulties between the US and Israel. "The settlements are not the problem," he boomed from the podium. "The problem is the refusal of Arab leaders to respect the right of Jewish people to live anywhere in the Middle East." Hagee received a rousing ovation from the crowd and the Israeli government officials seated beside the podium when he proclaimed, "World leaders do not have the authority to tell Israel and the Jewish people what they can and cannot do in the city of Jerusalem. They don't have the authority to tell them what they can and cannot build, who can and and cannot live there." The following day, on March 9, Vice President Joseph Biden arrived in Israel to meet with Netanyahu and officials from the Palestinian Authority. He told reporters after touching down that he saw "a moment of real opportunity."

Instead, America's relationship with Britain is no more special than with its other main allies, according to a report by the Commons foreign affairs committee published today. The report also warns that the perception of the UK after the Iraq war as America's "subservient poodle" has been highly damaging to Britain's reputation and interests around the world. The MPs conclude that British prime ministers have to learn to be less deferential to US presidents and be "willing to say no" to America. The report, entitled Global Security: UK-US Relations, says Britain's relationship with America is "extremely close and valuable" in a number of areas, particularly intelligence co-operation. However, it adds that the use of the phrase special relationship, in its historical sense, "is potentially misleading and we recommend that its use should be avoided". It does not reflect the "ever-evolving" relationship between the two countries and raises unrealistic expectations, the MPs say. "Over the longer term, the UK is unlikely to be able to influence the US to the extent it has in the past," the committee adds. In an apparent rebuke to Tony Blair and his relationship with President George W Bush, the report says there are "many lessons" to be learnt from Britain's political approach towards the US over Iraq. "The perception that the British government was a subservient poodle to the US administration is widespread both among the British public and overseas," the MPs say. "This perception, whatever its relation to reality, is deeply damaging to the reputation and interests of the UK." While the relationship between the American president and the British prime minister was an important part of dealings between the two countries, the cabinet and parliament also had a role to play. "The UK needs to be less deferential and more willing to say no to the US on those issues where the two countries' interests and values diverge," the MPs say. They are also critical of the US use of extraordinary rendition and torture. The report calls for a comprehensive review of the use by the CIA of British bases, such as that on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, to carry out extraordinary rendition.

They express regret at "considerable restraints" on the ability of both the government and parliament to scrutinise US activities carried out on British territory. "We recommend that the government should establish a comprehensive review of the current arrangements governing US military use of facilities within the UK and in British overseas territories." The review should "identify shortcomings in the current system of scrutiny and oversight ... and report to parliament on proposals to remedy these". The report also demands a statement from the government on the implications of the Court of Appeal judgment regarding the alleged collusion of MI5 in the torture of Binyam Mohamed, a British resident. Last month the court ordered the government to release evidence from American intelligence reports which showed that MI5 was aware of the torture. Senior US officials subsequently suggested that releasing such evidence might prevent the US from sharing some intelligence with Britain.

Zuckerman Posted June 18, 2010 President Obama came into office as the heir to a great foreign policy legacy enjoyed by every recent U.S. president. Why? Because the United States stands on top of the power ladder, not necessarily as the dominant power, but certainly as the leading one. As such we are the sole nation capable of exercising global leadership on a whole range of international issues from security, trade, and climate to counterterrorism. We also benefit from the fact that most countries distrust the United States far less than they distrust one another, so we uniquely have the power to build coalitions. As a result, most of the world still looks to Washington for help in their region and protection against potential regional threats. Yet, the Iraq war lingers; Afghanistan continues to be immersed in an endless cycle of tribalism, corruption, and Islamist resurgence; Guantanamo remains open; Iran sees how North Korea toys with Obama and continues its programs to develop nuclear weapons and missiles; Cuba spurns America's offers of a greater opening; and the Palestinians and Israelis find that it is U.S. policy positions that defer serious negotiations, the direct opposite of what the Obama administration hoped for. The reviews of Obama's performance have been disappointing. He has seemed uncomfortable in the role of leading other nations, and often seems to suggest there is nothing special about America's role in the world. The global community was puzzled over the pictures of Obama bowing to some of the world's leaders and surprised by his gratuitous criticisms of and apologies for America's foreign policy under the previous administration of George W. Bush. One Middle East authority, Fouad Ajami, pointed out that Obama seems unaware that it is bad form and even a great moral lapse to speak ill of one's own tribe while in the lands of others. Even in Britain, for decades our closest ally, the talk in the press—supported by polls—is about the end of the "special relationship" with America. French President Nicolas Sarkozy openly criticized Obama for months, including a direct attack on his policies at the United Nations. Sarkozy cited the need to recognize the real world, not the virtual world, a clear reference to Obama's speech on nuclear weapons. When the French president is seen as tougher than the American president, you have to know that something is awry. Vladimir Putin of Russia has publicly scorned a number of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769103 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769103 Date: 08/31/2015 Oba ma's visions. Relations with the Chinese leadership got off to a bad start with the president's poorly-organized visit to China, where his hosts treated him disdainfully and prevented him from speaking to a national television audience of the Chinese people. The Chinese behavior was unprecedented when compared to visits by other U.S. presidents. Obama's policy on Afghanistan—supporting a surge in troops, but setting a date next year when they will begin to withdraw—not only gave a mixed signal, but provided an incentive for the Taliban just to wait us out. The withdrawal part of the policy was meant to satisfy a domestic constituency, but succeeded in upsetting all of our allies in the region. Further anxiety was provoked by Obama's severe public criticism of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his coterie of family and friends for their lackluster leadership, followed by a reversal of sorts regarding the same leaders. Obama clearly wishes to do good and means well. But he is one of those people who believe that the world was born with the word and exists by means of persuasion, such that there is no person or country that you cannot, by means of logical and moral argument, bring around to your side. He speaks as a teacher, as someone imparting values and generalities appropriate for a Sunday morning sermon, not as a tough-minded leader. He urges that things "must be done" and "should be done" and that "it is time" to do them. As the former president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Les Gelb, put it, there is "the impression that Obama might confuse speeches with policy." Another journalist put it differently when he described Obama as an "NPR [National Public Radio] president who gives wonderful speeches." In other words, he talks the talk but doesn't know how to walk the walk. The Obama presidency has so far been characterized by a well-intentioned but excessive belief in the power of rhetoric with too little appreciation of reality and loyalty. In his Cairo speech about America and the Muslim world, Obama managed to sway Arab public opinion but was unable to budge any Arab leader. Even the king of Saudi Arabia, a country that depends on America for its survival, reacted with disappointment and dismay. Obama's meeting with the king was widely described as a disaster. This is but one example of an absence of the personal chemistry that characterized the relationships that Presidents Clinton and Bush had with world leaders. This is a serious matter because foreign policy entails an understanding of the personal and political circumstances of the leaders as well as the cultural and historical factors of the countries we deal with. Les Gelb wrote of Obama, "He is so self-confident that he believes he can make decisions on the most complicated of issues after only hours of discussion." Strategic decisions go well beyond being smart, which Obama certainly is. They must be based on experience that discerns what works, what doesn't—and why. This requires experienced staffing, which Obama and his top appointees simply do not seem to have. Or as one Middle East commentator put it, "There are always two chess games going on. One is on the top of the table, the other is below the table. The latter is the one that counts, but the Americans don't know how to play that game." Recent U.S. attempts to introduce more meaningful sanctions against Iran produced a U.N. resolution that is way less than the "crippling" sanctions the administration promised. The United States even failed to achieve the political benefit of a unanimous Security Council vote. Turkey, the Muslim anchor of NATO for almost 60 years, and Brazil, our largest ally in Latin America, voted against our resolution. Could it be that these long-standing U.S. allies, who gave cover to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran's nuclear ambitions, have decided that there is no cost in lining up with America's most serious enemies and no gain in lining up with this administration? The end result is that a critical mass of influential people in world affairs who once held high hopes for the president have begun to wonder whether they misjudged the man. They are no longer dazzled by his rock star personality and there is a sense that there is something amateurish and even incompetent about how Obama is managing U.S. power. For example, Obama has asserted that America is not at war with the Muslim world. The problem is that parts of the Muslim world are at war with America and the West. Obama feels, fairly enough, that America must be contrite in its dealings with the Muslim world. But he has failed to address the religious intolerance, failing economies, tribalism, and gender apartheid that together contribute to jihadist extremism. This was startling and clear when he chose not to publicly support the Iranians who went to the streets in opposition to their oppressive government, based on a judgment that our support might be counterproductive. Yet, he reaches out instead to the likes of Bashar Assad of Syria, Iran's agent in the Arab world, sending our ambassador back to Syria even as it continues to rearm Hezbollah in Lebanon and expands its role in the lran-Hezbollah-Hamas alliance.

The Arabs believe you do not deal with Iran with the open hand of a handshake but with the clenched fist of power. Arab leaders fear an Iran proceeding full steam with its nuclear weapons program on top of its programs to develop intermediate-range ballistic missiles. All the while centrifuges keep spinning in Iran, and Arab leaders ask whether Iran will be emboldened by what they interpret as American weakness and faltering willpower. They did not see Obama or his administration as understanding the region, where naiveté is interpreted as a weakness of character, as amateurism, and as proof of the absence of the tough stuff of which leaders are made. (That's why many Arab leaders were appalled at the decision to have a civilian trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York. After 9/11, many of them had engaged in secret counterterrorism activities under the umbrella of an American promise that these activities would never be made public; now they feared that this would be the exact consequence of an open trial.) America right now appears to be unreliable to traditional friends, compliant to rivals, and weak to enemies. One renowned Asian leader stated recently at a private dinner in the United States, "We in Asia are convinced that Obama is not strong enough to confront his opponents, but we fear that he is not strong enough to support his friends." The United States for 60 years has met its responsibilities as the leader and the defender of the democracies of the free world. We have policed the sea lanes, protected the air and space domains, countered terrorism, responded to genocide, and been the bulwark against rogue states engaging in aggression. The world now senses, in the context of the erosion of America's economic power and the pressures of our budget deficits, that we will compress our commitments. But the world needs the vision, idealism, and strong leadership that America brings to international affairs. This can be done and must be done. But we are the only ones who can do it. http://www.usnews.com/articles/opinion/2010/06/18/mort-zuckerman-world-sees-obama-as-incompetent-andamateur.html UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769103 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769105 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 Valmoro, Lona J Sunday, June 20, 2010 3:55 PM From: Sent: To: MS -- As you may recall, Do you think that would work?

The Quartet reiterates its call for a solution that addresses Israel's legitimate security concerns, including an end to weapons smuggling into Gaza; promotes Palestinian unity based on the Palestine Liberation Organization commitments and the reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under the legitimate Palestinian Authority; and ensures the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid, commercial goods and persons to and from Gaza, consistent with United Nations Security Council resolution 1860 (2009). The Quartet declares its readiness to work closely with Israel, the Palestinian Government and international donors in order to achieve sustainable economic development on the basis of the full implementation of the Agreement on Access and Movement of 2005 and in the broader perspective of the two-state solution. Consistent with these objectives, the Quartet and the Quartet Representative have worked with Israel, as well as consulting the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, and other concerned parties, to effect a fundamental change in policy in Gaza. The new policy towards Gaza just announced by the Government of Israel is a welcome development. The Quartet notes that the elaboration of further details and modalities of implementation will be important in ensuring the effectiveness of the new policy. Full and effective implementation will comprise a significant shift in strategy towards meeting the needs of Gaza's population for humanitarian and commercial goods, civilian reconstruction and infrastructure, and legitimate economic activity as well as the security needs of Israel. The Quartet will continue to work with Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and other concerned parties to ensure these arrangements are implemented as quickly as possible. The Quartet affirms that much work remains to achieve fully the solution stated above, and, in consultation with the concerned parties, it will monitor closely the implementation of the policy in all its aspects. It will actively explore additional ways to improve the situation in Gaza, encourage involvement of the PA at the crossings and promote greater commerce between the West Bank and Gaza. The Quartet stresses the importance of United Nations and other international interventions, as well as the work of local non-governmental organizations, to be expanded in Gaza to meet urgent civilian needs, and calls on all parties to fully enable this work. The Quartet recognizes that Israel has legitimate security concerns that must continue to be safeguarded, and believes efforts to maintain security while enabling movement and access for Palestinian people and goods are critical. The Quartet commits to work with Israel and the international community to prevent the illicit trafficking of arms and ammunition into Gaza. It urges all those wishing to deliver goods to do so through established channels so that their cargo can be inspected and transferred via land crossings into Gaza. The Quartet emphasizes that there is no need for unnecessary confrontations and calls on all parties to act responsibly in meeting the needs of the people of Gaza. The Quartet also calls for an end to the deplorable detention of Gilad Shalit in advance of the fourth anniversary of his capture on June 25; it further condemns the violation of Hamas' international obligation to provide him access by the International Committee of the Red Cross and demands that Hamas immediately remedy the situation. The Quartet also reiterates its support for proximity talks toward the resumption, without pre-conditions, of direct bilateral negotiations that resolve all final status issues as previously agreed by the parties.

The results have been mixed. But now the president's focus is visibly shifting. In the next 18 months, Obama's record abroad will be made or broken by his ability to do business with two nominal U.S. allies: Hamid Karzai and Binyamin Netanyahu. Karzai has become the hardest problem in Obama's Afghanistan surge, one that might be summed up as "can't win with him, can't win without him." Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu holds the key to whether Israel will be prepared to accept a Palestinian state within the two-year time frame Obama has established -- and also, perhaps, whether Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons will lead to war. Both men are prickly and somewhat inscrutable. Both know their countries and their own careers depend on support from the United States, but both are also resistant to key elements of Obama's policies. Handling them well requires skillful and subtle diplomacy by the U.S. president and by those who carry out his policies. And Obama has not done well. In fact, his treatment of the Israeli and Afghan leaders during one week in late March -- immediately after his victory on health care -- marked a low point of his performance as president. First, Obama seized on an errant Israeli announcement about housing construction in East Jerusalem to reopen a pointless battle with Netanyahu. During a disastrous March 23 meeting at the White House, Obama demanded - in vain -- that Israel stop all building in Jerusalem; and at one point he left Netanyahu and his delegation to stew in the Roosevelt room while he retired to the second-floor residence for dinner. Five days later, Obama flew to Kabul for another cold meeting, this time with Karzai. In a briefing for reporters on the plane, national security adviser James Jones made it clear that Obama was displeased with Karzai's lack of progress since beginning a new term as president last fall. In case there was any doubt, Obama spelled out that dissatisfaction in a television interview a day after his return. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769117 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769117 Date: 08/31/2015 Was it hubris from health care that brought on this burst of presidential imperialism? Whatever the cause, the results were disastrous. Netanyahu retreated to Jerusalem, where, after a couple of weeks of sulking, he defiantly announced that settlement construction in Jerusalem would continue. Karzai summoned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Kabul, then delivered a tirade against Western interference that concluded with a threat to join the Taliban. The administration has spent the past month cleaning up this mess. Obama abruptly changed his approach, sending a note to Karzai in early April thanking him for the Kabul visit and confirming his invitation to visit Washington in May -- a trip that, just days earlier, the White House had hinted at canceling. Meanwhile, the president and a good part of his Cabinet have been heaping love on Israel -- if not precisely Netanyahu -- by proclaiming their commitment to the relationship in speech after speech before pro-Israel groups. The result is that the administration now has a detailed plan for working with Karzai over the next several months. Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which have been delayed for two months by the flap over Jerusalem, might finally begin this week. Quiet diplomacy by the administration's special envoys in the Middle East and Afghanistan, George Mitchell and Richard Holbrooke, has achieved what presidential lectures did not. The underlying problems, however, haven't changed. Karzai still has little appetite for attacking the corruption in his government or rallying support for U.S. military campaigns against the Taliban. Netanyahu remains wedded to a right-wing coalition that would not allow him to make significant concessions in peace negotiations, even if he wanted to. Obama has to find a way to coax each of them toward a change of course. Public bullying won't do it. Assurances of U.S. support and stroking by special envoys go only so far. What's missing is personal chemistry and confidence, the construction of a bond between leaders that can persuade a U.S. ally to take a risk; in other words, presidential "engagement." Isn't that what Obama promised?

Ashton and I essentially reinforced each other at every turn and presented a very positive vision of US-EU partnership. She has scored some significant victories lately, most notably that development will be included in the European Action Service (EAS) rather than sitting at a separate desk (the formula we are seeking rather than the DFID formula). EU defense staff will also be included in the EAS. Indeed, Ashton chairs the European Council whenever the 27 foreign ministers, development ministers, or defense ministers meet -- the ultimate integrated frame. She also has control over a number of the smaller development and statebuilding budgets, though I gather the biggest development fund is still in dispute between her and the development commissioner. Apparently, however, the enlargement commissioner took his cues from her on strategy and policy and then presented his implementation plans to the Council, which is the role she wants.

Recruit Afghan women to sell war to Europeans: CIA report WASHINGTON, March 27, 2010 (AFP) - A CIA expert has called for recruiting Afghan women in a public relations bid to persuade skeptical Europeans to support the NATO-led war effort, according to a document leaked Friday. "Afghan women could serve as ideal messengers in humanizing" the mission for European audiences, particularly in France, according to the CIA analysis, posted on WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website. The views of Afghan women would carry special weight as they could express "their aspirations for the future, and their fears of a Taliban victory," it said. The Central Intelligence Agency declined to confirm or deny if the document was genuine. But WikiLeaks has previously posted government and corporate documents that were later verified. The report by a CIA expert on "strategic communications" and State Department analysts of public opinion warned that popular support for the war in Europe was weak and could easily collapse, citing the recent fall of the Dutch government over the issue. "The tone of previous debate suggests that a spike in French or German casualties or in Afghan civilian casualties could become a tipping point in converting passive opposition into active calls for immediate withdrawal," it said. The analysis, dated March 11, suggested public relations strategies to drum up support for the war in Germany and France, which maintain the third and fourth largest troop deployments in Afghanistan. "Outreach initiatives that create media opportunities for Afghan women to share their stories with French, German, and other European women could help to overcome pervasive skepticism among women in Western Europe toward the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) mission," it said. Public relations efforts could "tap into acute French concern for civilians and refugees," the report said, suggesting highlighting polls that show most Afghans support the presence of coalition troops. Such an approach could stress the potential dangers facing Afghan civilians if NATO-led troops were defeated and "leverage French (and other European) guilt for abandoning them." "The prospect of the Taliban rolling back hard-won progress on girls I- education could provoke French indignation, become a rallying point for France's largely secular public, and give voters a reason to support a good and necessary cause despite casualties." For German audiences, marketing efforts should underline how Afghans are reportedly optimistic about the NATO mission and how an international retreat would damage Germany's interests. "For example, messages that illustrate how a defeat in Afghanistan could heighten Germany's exposure to terrorism, opium, and refugees might help to make the war more salient to skeptics," it said. The report also suggested taking advantage of President Barack Obama's popularity in France and Germany, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769127 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769127 Date: 08/31/2015 arguing that appeals from the US president on the importance of the allied role in the war could have a positive effect.

The speech suggested that US nonproliferation efforts are a cynical attempt to divert attention from our aim to keep nuclear weapons for ourselves and that even things like the Nuclear Summit are nothing more than such a veil. The speech made several pointed attacks on the USG, from the USAF's security issue a few years ago to our use of nuclear weapons in WWII (making us "the most hated" in history) to allegations of support for terrorism (including that only states who have and have used nuclear weapons could support nuclear terrorism). The speech offered 11 "proposals", most of which were previewed in Tehran press today. These include legally binding NSAs, suspension of IAEA membership for those who threaten with nuclear weapons, disarming all US nuclear bases, support for a ME w/o nuclear weapons and restructure of the UNSC. The US del walked out -- with many partners -- in response to this speech.

It should have the flexibility to make important decisions in the context of rebuilding the country devastated by a powerful earthquake last January 12. During 18 months, this new entity will manage the funds available to carry out all operations related with the reconstruction of Haiti.

There is strong language on human rights; is that what Miliband was referring to? The language on the nuclear issue reflects where we were last summer -- still on the first track. Iran We are concerned about the aftermath of Iranian Presidential elections. We fully respect the sovereignty of Iran. At the same time, we deplore post-electoral violence, which led to the loss of lives of Iranian civilians. We express our solidarity with those who have suffered repression while peacefully demonstrating and urge Iran to respect fundamental human rights, including freedom of expression, as ensured by the international treaties it has ratified. The crisis should be settled soon through democratic dialogue and peaceful means on the basis of the rule of law. We call on the Iranian government to guarantee that the will of the Iranian people is reflected in the electoral process. We remain committed to finding a diplomatic solution to the issue of Iran's nuclear program and support renewed efforts to that effect, such as the readiness of the U.S. to enter into direct talks and the invitation from China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States to Iran to restart negotiations, as well as the constructive involvement of other G8 partners in the process. We stress the need for unity of action on the basis of agreed policy. We sincerely hope that Iran will seize this opportunity to give diplomacy a chance to find a negotiated solution to the nuclear issue. At the same time we remain deeply concerned over proliferation risks posed by Iran's nuclear programme. We recognise that Iran has the right to a civilian nuclear programme, but that comes with the responsibility to restore confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear activities. We strongly urge Iran to cooperate fully with the IAEA and to comply with the relevant UNSC Resolutions. Our meeting on the margin of the United Nations General Assembly opening week next September, will be an occasion for the G8 to take stock of the situation.

The results have been mixed. But now the president's focus is visibly shifting. In the next 18 months, Obama's record abroad will be made or broken by his ability to do business with two nominal U.S. allies: Hamid Karzai and Binyamin Netanyahu. Karzai has become the hardest problem in Obama's Afghanistan surge, one that might be summed up as "can't win with him, can't win without him." Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu holds the key to whether Israel will be prepared to accept a Palestinian state within the two-year time frame Obama has established -- and also, perhaps, whether Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons will lead to war. Both men are prickly and somewhat inscrutable. Both know their countries and their own careers depend on support from the United States, but both are also resistant to key elements of Obama's policies. Handling them well requires skillful and subtle diplomacy by the U.S. president and by those who carry out his policies. And Obama has not done well. In fact, his treatment of the Israeli and Afghan leaders during one week in late March -- immediately after his victory on health care -- marked a low point of his performance as president. First, Obama seized on an errant Israeli announcement about housing construction in East Jerusalem to reopen a pointless battle with Netanyahu. During a disastrous March 23 meeting at the White House, Obama demanded - in vain -- that Israel stop all building in Jerusalem, and at one point he left Netanyahu and his delegation to stew in the Roosevelt room while he retired to the second-floor residence for dinner. Five days later, Obama flew to Kabul for another cold meeting, this time with Karzai. In a briefing for reporters on the plane, national security adviser James Jones made it clear that Obama was displeased with Karzai's lack of progress since beginning a new term as president last fall. In case there was any doubt, Obama spelled out that dissatisfaction in a television interview a day after his return.

Whatever the cause, the results were disastrous. Netanyahu retreated to Jerusalem, where, after a couple of weeks of sulking, he defiantly announced that settlement construction in Jerusalem would continue. Karzai summoned Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Kabul, then delivered a tirade against Western interference that concluded with a threat to join the Taliban. The administration has spent the past month cleaning up this mess. Obama abruptly changed his approach, sending a note to Karzai in early April thanking him for the Kabul visit and confirming his invitation to visit Washington in May -- a trip that, just days earlier, the White House had hinted at canceling. Meanwhile, the president and a good part of his Cabinet have been heaping love on Israel -- if not precisely Netanyahu -- by proclaiming their commitment to the relationship in speech after speech before pro-Israel groups. The result is that the administration now has a detailed plan for working with Karzai over the next several months. Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which have been delayed for two months by the flap over Jerusalem, might finally begin this week. Quiet diplomacy by the administration's special envoys in the Middle East and Afghanistan, George Mitchell and Richard Holbrooke, has achieved what presidential lectures did not. The underlying problems, however, haven't changed. Karzai still has little appetite for attacking the corruption in his government or rallying support for U.S. military campaigns against the Taliban. Netanyahu remains wedded to a right-wing coalition that would not allow him to make significant concessions in peace negotiations, even if he wanted to. Obama has to find a way to coax each of them toward a change of course. Public bullying won't do it. Assurances of U.S. support and stroking by special envoys go only so far. What's missing is personal chemistry and confidence, the construction of a bond between leaders that can persuade a U.S. ally to take a risk; in other words, presidential "engagement." Isn't that what Obama promised?

O "It is not possible that the U.S. is using a natural disaster to invade and occupy Haiti," said Morales, who qualified as "inhumane, savage, and opportunist" the deployment of troops in the Caribbean island. "We'll ask the UN, via our Foreign Ministry, for an emergency meeting to reject this military occupation of the U.S. in Haiti," announced Morales. O O Morales recalled that President Obama has guaranteed in international fora that he wants partners and respectful diplomatic relations with other countries. "You don't achieve this (partners, diplomatic relations) with military occupation, or troops, or bases," he said and expects "a pronouncement by the peoples of the world and social forces rejecting this intervention and military occupation in Haiti." O Morales also asked "how much money, food and water" will be destined to the 12,000 soldiers the U.S. sent to Haiti and noted that this money "should be spend on the victims." O He trusted that the American people will reject "the abusive use" of their economic resources for what he insisted on qualifying as "military intervention."

Just for comparison, here are figures for other UN humanitarian appeals: DRC is funded at 5%, Sudan at 23%, Afghanistan at 31%, Kenya at 18%, Chad at 4%. Clearly, not all disasters/responses are the same. Perhaps the scenario that most closely approximates the needs generated by the Haiti earthquake is that of the Indian Ocean tsunami (2004/2005). Oddly enough, the UN Flash Appeal for the Indian Ocean Tsunami ran to $1.4 billion (the exact same figure as for the Haiti Flash Appeal). In the end, the UN humanitarian appeal for the Indian Ocean tsunami stood at $1.2 billion (a coverage rate of 85%). In the worst of disasters, the funding for UN humanitarian appeals never reaches 100%. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769175 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769175 Date: 08/31/2015 We should not forget that there is an enormous amount of money being funneled through channels outside the UN appeal system. For example, the Red Cross movement (including IFRC, ICRC and the national societies) has raised between $700 and $800 million for Haiti. The American Red Cross alone raised $400 million (they project that it will take them five years to spend this money on relief and recovery activities in Haiti). InterAction, the consortium of USbased NGOs has announced that its members have raised nearly $700 million for relief and early recovery activities in Haiti. I met with two NGOs today: OXFAM has raised over $100 million. World Vision has raised $250 million specifically for its earthquake response in Haiti (on top of its regular budget of $50 million for Haiti). We haven't been able to get reliable figures on what non-US NGOs have raised, but I would imagine it to be considerable (at least over $500 million as a conservative estimate). Clearly, there is an enormous amount of money raised for Haiti relief and recovery efforts through the UN system and outside the UN system. The challenge is to get an accurate tally of the funding available from UN agencies, lOs and NGOs (perhaps a tasking for the OSE and/or OCHA) and maximize coordination among the various agencies holding this money to improve allocation of resources. There very well may be underfunded sectors and overfunded sectors in terms of the humanitarian response. Information sharing among donors and aid agencies sitting on funding is critical to avoid spending too much money in some sectors/geographic areas and spending too little in others.

While a U.N. summit in New York on Wednesday will aim to raise an initial $3.8 billion for the impoverished Caribbean nation's recovery, an appeal by the world body for $1.4 billion in humanitarian aid is 52 percent short of its goal. The initial appeal by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs for $575 million was met within a month, but when the call for funding was later more than doubled, the donations slowed to a trickle. "Perhaps the extension of the flash appeal has got a little bit crowded by the fact that this conference -- with a big ask for recovery -- is coming, so maybe donors have held back a little," said U.N. Development Program chief Helen Clark. "Obviously this medium/long term reconstruction recovery is incredibly important but ... if we don't get the humanitarian relief side right as well you don't have the foundation for the successful longer term recovery," she told a news conference. Possibly more than 300,000 were killed when a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12 in what some experts are calling the deadliest natural disaster of modern times. Haiti's economy and infrastructure were decimated and more than 1 million survivors left homeless. "We should not think that the humanitarian crisis is over. The rain and the hurricane season will start soon," said Edmond Mulct, acting head of the U.N. mission in Haiti. "This may cause hundreds of thousands of Haitians who now live in tents -- some made of sticks and cardboard -- to once again lose everything," he said. "Lives are at stake; we need to urgently build more durable shelter." He also said protection of the vulnerable, particularly the women and children in camps, needed to be strengthened. "But time and money is running out," Mulet said. Violence is also increasing, he said, with the National Hospital, morgue and aid group Doctors Without Borders reporting an increase in gunshot wounds. Mulct said there had also been a rise in sexual violence. Mulct gained notoriety for wielding an iron fist during a previous stint as head of the U.N. mission when he led mostly Brazilian "blue helmet" troops in a successful crackdown on Haiti's heavily armed gangs.

Sid New blow for Conservative alliance with UUP as assembly member quits party Alan McFarland follows MP Lady Hermon in resigning from Ulster Unionists to sit as independent • • Henry McDonaid, Ireland correspondent gi,;ardian.co.uk, Wednesday 31 March 2010 09.48 BST The ConseNatives' alliance with the Ulster Unionists has sustained a second blow in North Down after last week's resignation of the sitting MP Lady Hermon. Assembly member and former army major Alan McFarland announced today that he was leaving the UUP in protest at its pact with the Tories. It is expected McFarland will now work for Herman's re-election as an independent against the official UUP-Tory candidate. A UUP statement said the timing of McFarland's announcement was "disappointing". He has been a UUP member of the Stormont assembly for 12 years and was once a loyal ally of Lord Trimble, Nprthem Irelard's former first minister. Trimble has been one of the driving forces behind the UUP-Conservative alliance. Last night McFarland resigned his membership of the party and said he would now sit as an independent member of the assembly. "With the recent confirmation of candidates, including the imposition of a Conservative candidate in my own North Down constituency,•it is clear that the party is determined to continue down the Conservative road," he said in a statement. "I do not wish to join them. I am sorry to leave a party that contains many good friends, and greatly regret that events have developed in the way they have." Last week Hermon, the MP for North Down, said she would run in the general election as an independent unionist. In a statement, the Ulster Unionist party thanked McFarland for his service, but said the "electoral pact has the potential to transform politics in Northern Ireland in a manner not previously witnessed" in Ulster.

Okay by you? MEDIA NOTE Joint Statement on the Upcoming Sudan National Elections Following is the text of a joint statement by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Store, and United Kingdom Foreign Secretary David Miliband on the upcoming national elections in Sudan. Begin Text: National elections in Sudan this month will represent a major milestone in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended Sudan's twenty-two year civil war, and are an important opportunity for the people of Sudan to participate in the political process. We urge all parties in Sudan to work urgently to ensure that elections can proceed peacefully and credibly in April. We are deeply concerned by reports of continued administrative and logistical challenges, as well as restrictions on political freedoms. We call on the Government of Sudan, the National Elections Commission, and all political parties to engage in further dialogue to resolve practical obstacles, procedural impediments, and address allegations of intimidation, harassment, and safety concerns, and other legitimate concerns raised by various political parties. We continue to urge the parties to improve conditions on the ground in Darfur and create a secure environment conducive to Darfuri participation. Irrespective of the outcome of elections, it is essential that work continues and is accelerated to meet remaining CPA deadlines. Progress is needed urgently to complete border demarcation, to establish the commissions that will supervise the referenda for the South and Abyei, to conduct popular consultations in Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan, and to negotiate sustainable post-CPA arrangements in areas such as wealth-sharing, citizenship and assets, and liabilities. We reiterate our commitment to ensure that the referenda must happen on schedule and that their outcomes need to be respected. It is time to redouble efforts to achieve these ends. We urge all parties in Sudan and all regional and international partners to work together to achieve the peaceful future that the people of Sudan deserve.

Doctors believe Mrs. Bush, 84, may have had a mild relapse of her Graves disease, a thyroid condition for which she was treated in 1989. As a result, her physicians at Methodist have adjusted her medication. Upon discharge she was alert, talkative and appeared to be getting stronger as she prepared to return home. Mrs. Bush arrived Saturday at the hospital, where she received a number of tests including blood tests and imaging studies. Just over a year ago Mrs. Bush received a replacement aortic valve at Methodist, which doctors said is working very well. Mrs. Bush is expected to make a full recovery and should soon return to her normal activities.

MS INFORMATION MEMO FOR DEPUTY SECRETARY STEINBERG AND DEPUTY SECRETARY LEW FROM: E — Robert Hormats S/SECC — Todd Stern S/CIEA — David Goldwyn AF — Johnnie Carson SUBJECT: Proposed World Bank Loan for South African Coal-fired Power Plant On April 8 the World Bank Board is expected to consider whether to approve a $3.75 billion loan for a 4,800 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in South Africa (the "Medupi project"). The project, by South Africa's state-owned Eskom utility, is intended to address a worsening power shortage. The loan is controversial due to the 26 million tons of CO2 emissions per year that the plant will emit when completed, making it one of the largest single sources of carbon emissions in the world. South Africa has sought U.S. support for the project from senior levels at the Department and our Ambassador in Pretoria.

Unlike his predecessor Richard Nixon, who turned to Henry Kissinger for advice, the US president has no big foreign policy strategist For better or for worse, Washington has grown used to the fact that PgIrack Obama runs the most centralised — or "White House-centric" — administration since Richard Nixon. When Nixon wanted foreign policy advice, everyone knew where he got it from: Henry 'Kissinger, variously his national security adviser and secretary of state. In contrast, Mr Obama has no big foreign policy strategist. Even insiders give different answers when asked to whom he turns for advice on the big international questions. But almost all agree with the following observation. "The truth is that President Obama is his own Henry Kissinger — no one else plays that role," says a senior official. "Every administration reflects the personality of the president. This president wants all the trains routed through the Oval Office." Fifteen months after he took office, the character and structure of Mr Obama's foreign policy machinery is still evolving. But from interviews with dozens of insiders and outsiders, including senior officials both authorised and unauthorised to speak, and three former national security advisers, it is clear the buck not only stops with, but often floats for quite a long time around, Mr Obama himself. Foreigners have complained about the tendency of his domestic agenda to crowd out the international one — the passage last week of healthcare reform was greeted with an audible sigh of relief among US allies. But within foreign policy itself, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769210 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769210 Date: 08/31/2015 his centralised structure can also result in many issues being left on the back burner awaiting presidential attention, say critics. "On the positive side, we have a very conscientious president who takes advice widely," says the official. "On the debit side, for all the president's intelligence, Barack Obama came to office with very little experience. He just doesn't have much depth on some issues.' The core of Mr Obama's foreign policy machinery is in the White House-based National Security Council, which advises the president and co-ordinates activities across an increasingly complex alphabet soup of Washington departments, military commands and intelligence agencies. The most widely questioned link in the chain is Jim Jones, whom, to many people's surprise, Mr Obama brought in as his national security adviser. Only briefly acquainted with Mr Obama beforehand, General Jones, a retired four-star marine corps general, shows little interest in running the "inter-agency" process — a key part of the job. Somewhat unconventionally, Gen Jones travels frequently and is thus often out of town. Unusually, it is Mr Obama himself who usually chairs the weekly National Security Council, known as the "principals meeting", not Gen Jones. Rahm Emanuel, Mr Obama's chief of staff, is also a key part of it. "If you were to ask me who the real national security adviser is, I would say there were three or four, of whom Rehm is one and of which Gen Jones is probably the least important," says another official. Anyone who has dealt with Gen Jones speaks highly of his matter-of-factness, his geniality and the respect many foreign governments have for him — Pakistan and Israel among them. But as he himself admitted rather disarmingly last year, he does not have a taste for bureaucracy. Speaking at the Atlantic Council, a think-tank where he previously worked, Gen Jones provoked laughter when he said: "I fondly remember [the Atlantic Council] as a place where people actually did what you asked them to do. In my new role I'm finding out that an order is a basis for negotiation." The lack of a strong national security adviser has created recurring difficulties. Perhaps the best example is the ArabIsraeli peace process, which Mr Obama launched on his second day in office when he appointed Geproe Mitphspil as his envoy. Three months later, Mr Obama insisted Benjamin Netanyahu freeze all settlements activity in order to boost Arab confidence in the talks. In a heated ;34.16NA(dpyin the ,Clvgli..0f7;ce. last May, in which Mr Netanyahu refused to accede to Mr Obama's demand, the only officials present were Mr Emanuel and David Axelrod, senior adviser to Mr Obama in office and during the campaign. Gen Jones was not there. The fallout put the talks in abeyance and damped high Arab hopes for Mr Obama. "The question is, which bright spark advised the president to demand a settlements freeze without working out what the next step should be when Netanyahu inevitably said 'No'?" says Leslie Gelb, an official in the Carter administration and former head of the Council on Foreign Relations. "Why wasn't George Mitchell in the room? Where was Jones?" Mr Obama's character is also stamped on the inter-agency process, set up and managed by Tom Donilon, deputy national security adviser. The nitty-gritty of foreign policy-making is done at these frequent "deputies' meetings", which can sometimes consume four to six hours a day. Described by one insider as "the most powerful man in the White House whose name isn't widely known", Mr Donilon, who was an official in the Clinton administration, is the man who keeps Mr Obama's trains running on time. And there are a lot of trains. Last year, Mr Donilon held 270 deputies meetings — a workload described as "clinically insane" by a former senior diplomat under Bill Clinton. But as time goes on, it is becoming streamlined — now taking up roughly two to three hours a day, say officials. "People forget that we inherited two wars, terrorism threats, and perhaps the biggest single eight-year decline [George W. Bush's two terms] in America's power and reputation in our history," says a senior official. "It took time to put in place a process that could deal with the very complex decisions we had to take." Also the organiser of Mr Obama's 9.30arn national security briefing, Mr Donilon reinstated the paper trails needed to prevent intra-governmental anarchy, using the model devised by Brent Scowcroft, national security adviser to George Bush senior and Gerald Ford. Vice-president Joe Biden's team was also incorporated to prevent the kind of "parallel process" Dick Cheney used to circumvent the bureaucracy under George W. Bush. "If you look for the 2002 or 2003 meeting where the decision to go to war in iraq was taken, you cannot find it," says the senior official. "By getting the process right, we are improving the quality of decisions." The deputies' ties go back years. For example, the families of Mr Don;Ion and Jim Steinberg, deputy secretary of state, often go on holiday together. Mr Donilon's wife, Cathy Russell, is chief of staff to Jill Biden, the vice-president's wife. Mr Steinberg's wife, Sherburne Abbott, is deputy to John Holdren, Mr Obama's chief scientific adviser. All those who regularly attend, including Michele Flournoy, a senior Pentagon official, and Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the United Nations, have known each other since at least 1993, when they started off in the Clinton administration. This is just as well, since they spend half their lives together: "A lot of work gets done in that group," says Ms Flournoy. "Sometimes it feels like shovelling coal to keep the fires going." The refurbished machinery was perhaps most in evidence during the build-up to Mr Obama's decision in December to send another 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan — a journey that took four months and involved him in 40 hours of Oval Office meetings. But the very diligence of the process crowded out Mr Obama's time to focus on other crises — of which there are many. "Time is the most precious commodity a president has," says a former national security adviser. "On average he is only going to have 45 minutes a day for foreign policy, so you want to make sure it is well spent." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769210 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769210 Date: 08/31/2015 The widely expected departure of Gen Jones before the end of the year has also created rivalries within the engine room. Those who are thought to have ambitions to replace him include Mr Steinberg, Ms Rice, Mr Donilon and Denis McDonough, NSC chief of staff and the foreign policy official who is personally closest to Mr Obama. Although all are widely respected, none is considered a big strategic thinker in the Kissinger or Scowcroft mould. Described by Mr Gelb as Mr Obama's "Lord High Executioner", Mr McDonough "has appended himself to the Chicago crowd", says another official. Mr McDonough's widely feared role highlights some of the contradictions of Mr Obama's foreign policy apparatus. Once an adviser to former Senate majority leader Tom Deschle, Mr McDonough was frequently at Mr Obama's side during the campaign. Insiders describe him as the "enforcer" and as the keeper of "message discipline", a key element of any campaign but something that can drastically slow the wheels of government. "McDonough is the guy from the campaign and the one who plays basketball with the president — they're very close," says an official. "Instead of Jim Jones telling McDonough what the president thinks, it is the other way round." Indeed, if Mr Obama's highly centralised foreign policy machine had a face, it would be Mr McDonough's. "Donilon has been perceived to make the process inclusive and give everyone a seat at the table," says David Rothkopf, a former Clinton official and scholar on the NSC. "Fairly or not, McDonough has been perceived as representing a process that was taking place in another room, among the inner circle, at a table to which most weren't invited." Mr Obama has built a machine in which all roads lead to and from him. On the minus side, that means a lot of lower-level meetings without decisions. It also means neglecting issues that cannot be squeezed into his diary, such as trade policy, which continues to drift; or relations with India, which are unnecessarily tense. And it means that the fingerprints of Mr Obama's political inner circle are detected by the rumour mill even when they are anistan. in July 2011 — a absent, such as on the president's decision to begin the rog,,g: witsirawal from recommendation that came from Robert Gates, secretary of defence. On the plus side. Mr Obama has a sharp learning curve, which means his administration continues to evolve. On the plus side also, if it has to be White House-centric, it is perhaps better with him as the Sun King than, say, Nixon or George W. Bush. "At the end of each meeting, the president summarises what everyone has said and the arguments each has made with a real lawyer's clarity," says a participant to the NSC principals meeting, which includes Mr Gates and Mrs Clinton. "When the president finally makes a decision, it is with the full facts and usually shows a high calibre of judgment." When Mr Obama makes a decision, that is. STATE AND DEFENCE DEPARTMENTS An 'alliance of the unsackables' finds it can confront the inner circle If there is a caveat to the depiction of the Obama administration as White House-centric, it is in the alliance between Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates, the president's secretaries of state and defence. Mrs Clinton has proved one of the surprises of Barack Obama's tenure, forging a strong working relationship with her former rival and establishing herself as his chief foreign policy spokesperson internationally — if not at home, where Mr Obama's inner circle often seems to monopolise the explaining. Mr Gates, who recently decided to stay for at least another year, is seen as unsackable, not least for the credibility he lends on issues ranging from missile defence to Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan. As a holdover from the Bush administration, his national security bona fides are hard to dispute. It is no coincidence that Mrs Clinton is probably the only other unsackable cabinet member. The combination has made itself felt in some of the administration's most significant debates, notably on Afghanistan, where both successfully urged the deployment of more troops. "Gates and Clinton happen to like each other, which no one really predicted," says one official, who notes that while the traditional role of the NSC is to "play referee" between the state and defence departments, it is as often nowadays a combination of the two against the White House. This is very different from how it worked when Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell held those positions. "We work together well," Mr Gates said at an appearance with Mrs Clinton on CNN last year. "I think it starts with, frankly, based on my experience, the secretary of defence being willing to acknowledge that the secretary of state is the principal spokesperson for United States foreign policy." Their outlooks often overlap. From the Pentagon, Mr Gates has long called for more US spending on diplomacy. As chief diplomat, Mrs Clinton has adopted a muscular approach. On Iran, both favour tough sanctions; on Russia, both have sought to reassure Moscow's neighbours even while improving relations with the Kremlin. But for all their workmanlike co-operation, there is no escaping the fact that Mrs Clinton is not part of the Obama inner circle — a traditionally helpful feature in that job. There is also a constant "residue of friction" between Mr Obama's and Mrs Clinton's teams, according to insiders. For example, Cheryl Mills, Mrs Clinton's chief of staff, has had several run-ins with others in the administration. One official describes Mrs Clinton as "totally loyal" to Mr Obama. He adds: "She and the president are not the best of friends — how could they be? But she totally respects the presidency — she was married to a president and she wanted to be one ... She still might be."

KATZ (AP) –2 hours ago PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti's president on Wednesday rejected U.S. Senate recommendations on holding an election for his successor, brushing off criticism that the current process will leave the shattered country without a credible leader. A report issued this month by Sen. Richard Lugar, the ranking Republican on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "strongly encourages" Haiti to let its international partners help restructure the eight-member Provisional Electoral Council, which has been accused of corruption. The report also recommends ensuring the participation of the key opposition party of ousted former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, which was blocked from participating in 2009 legislative contests because of a dispute over rival candidate lists. On Tuesday, President Rene Preval fulfilled one recommendation of the report by issuing a signed decree setting election day for Nov. 28. But speaking at a news conference in an open-air gazebo alongside the broken remains of the national palace a day later, Preval told reporters he had no intention of complying with the rest, including changing the election body, known as the CEP. "I'm not doing the CEP with international partners. I'm doing the CEP with national partners," Preval said. "The senator's proposition is inadmissible." Seeking to show the council was not "hand-picked," as he said in English, Preval handed out copies of nomination letters for the panel's members submitted by various national and religious organizations, including the National Council of Political Parties, Roman Catholic Church and National Confederation of Haitian Vodou. He also defended the prohibition on the exiled Aristide's Fanmi Lava1as party in last year's elections, a ban that came after rival factions of the party submitted competing lists of candidates. "International donors need to look for an accord with the CEP and the political parties and the factions of Fanmi Lava1as," Preval said. "We are giving (the parties) the support that they need, and the factions need to figure it out (for themselves)." Preval did not discuss the forced resignation of an electoral council member accused of stealing a staffer's pay or opponents' allegations that the council gave special privileges to the president's newly formed Unity Party ahead of planned Feb. 28 legislative elections, which were postponed because of the Jan. 12 earthquake that devastated the capital.

Elections have never been easy in Haiti, a country whose founding president crowned himself emperor. It took 186 years to hold what the international community considered a democratic election in 1990, which was then closely followed by a coup d'etat. Preva1, in fact, is the only Haitian ever to be elected president, serve a full term and hand off power to an elected successor. Unable to run for re-election in the November contest, he pledged to relinquish power again as he did in the 1990s — after protesters alleged earlier this year that he was dragging his feet on holding presidential the election. Doing so will require significant help. The electoral council's headquarters were destroyed and its records lost in the quake, while millions of voters were either killed, made homeless or displaced. Its new headquarters is a former Gold's Gym seized by drug agents. The election will also be a cost burden for this grindingly poor Caribbean nation: $29 million according to electoral officials at the news conference with Preval, $38 million according to the U.S. Senate report. The Organization of American States and United Nations have pledged support. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement Wednesday praising the decree setting the election date and pledged the help of U.N. peacekeepers and advisers in preparing and supporting the ballot. Ban urged member states to quickly provide the money needed to run the vote. Copyright © 2010 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Petraeus takes command in Afghanistan, the two top American civilian officials in the war face an uncertain and tricky future, working with a newly empowered military leader, under the gaze of an impatient president who has put them on notice that his fractious war council needs to pull together.Richard C. Holbrooke, the Obama administration's special representative to the region, and Karl W. Eikenberry, the ambassador to Afghanistan, both hung on to their jobs in the uproar that followed Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's career-ending quotes in Rolling Stone magazine.But privately, at least one senior White House official suggested using General McChrystal's exit as an excuse for a housecleaning, according to senior officials. That was rejected as too disruptive during a military campaign that relies heavily on civilian support, these people said.ln recent days, other administration officials have begun floating the idea that Ambassador Eikenberry might be replaced by Ryan C. Crocker, the highly regarded former ambassador in Iraq who forged a close partnership with General Petraeus during the successful Iraq troop increase. Such a prospect is viewed as remote, given Mr. Crocker's prestigious new post at Texas A&M University. But the fact that his name is being invoked underlines the challenges that confront Ambassador Eikenberry, as he adapts to a new partner — one who has strong ideas about how soldiers and diplomats should work together in war. It also illustrates the remarkably powerful role that General Petraeus will assume in the nine-year-old war, setting him up as almost a viceroy in Afghanistan and a key broker in negotiations between President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan over an eventual political settlement.Before General Petraeus's arrival, some critics said the White House had created a problem by recruiting several forceful, ambitious personalities and giving them jobs with overlapping responsibilities. Administration officials acknowledge that, as one said, "there are obviously a number of substantial personalities on the team." But the White House believes that the current lineup can mesh, and that a difficult war demands this much talent. Still, the McChrystal blow-up has reverberated through the State Department. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton instructed Ambassador Eikenberry and Mr. Holbrooke to take a hard look at the civilian team, two officials said. She is not wedded to the current lineup if it continues to bog down in internecine battles, they said."You can't have a major shift in a civ-mil structure without having the civilian side take a step back and look at everything," said a senior State Department official, using the jargon for a civilian-military campaign.General Petraeus, whose appointment was approved 99-0 by the Senate on Wednesday, took pains at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday to back a unified civilian and military effort. He noted then that he had telephoned Mr. Holbrooke and would rendezvous with Ambassador Eikenberry in Brussels, so the two could land in Kabul together."Holbrooke has been my wingman, to a great degree," General Petraeus said in an interview. "We have had, and do have, a very good relationship." That role, he said, will now fall to Ambassador Eikenberry.Ambassador Eikenberry was highly critical of the Pentagon's proposal last year to send 60,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, which led to a difficult relationship with General McChrystal. But in fact General Petraeus was the true architect of the plan.The ambassador, a retired lieutenant general and former commander in Afghanistan, graduated from West Point in 1973, a year ahead of General Petraeus, but they did not know each other at the academy. The two share a scholarly bent: General Petraeus holds a Ph.D. from Princeton, while Ambassador Eikenberry has master's degrees from Harvard and Stanford.While they were never assigned together, their careers intersected twice. In Iraq, General Eikenberry led an assessment of Iraqi security forces while General Petraeus was commanding the 101st Airborne Division in Mosul. When General Eikenberry was commander in Afghanistan, General Petraeus led an assessment of Afghan National Security Forces.General Petraeus declined to discuss personnel issues, while Ambassador Eikenberry and Mr. Holbrooke turned down requests for an interview. Mr. Crocker, now the dean of the George Bush School of Government at Texas A&M, did not return a call for comment. For Mr. Holbrooke, the new landscape is challenging in other ways. Officials said his job security was less in doubt than it was six months ago, when his ouster was the subject of Washington chatter. Yet he has arguably become a less central player: Jacob J. Lew, a deputy secretary of state, manages much of the civilian influx in Afghanistan that Mr. Holbrooke helped shape, while the embassy in Kabul is carrying it out. Mr. Holbrooke's current portfolio has played to his weaknesses, his own allies admit. He is best as a high-level negotiator, and not as comfortable with the nitty-gritty work of helping Afghanistan build an UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769239 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769239 Date: 08/31/2015 economy.These days, Mr. Holbrooke has become a globe-trotting diplomat, trying to retain flagging European allies while seeking to draw influential Muslim countries like Egypt into helping Afghanistan. At a recent conference of 35 countries in Madrid, Mr. Holbrooke drummed up more support from allies for the Afghan government's campaign to reintegrate Taliban fighters into mainstream society.Mr. Karzai's longer-term effort to reconcile with Taliban leaders, and his negotiations with Pakistan, could propel Mr. Holbrooke back into a central role. Were these talks to become more serious, several officials said, Mr. Holbrooke's negotiating skills could be put to use, as a broker and guardian of American interests. For now, though, as evidence of General Petraeus's influence, he will do most of the shuttling between Kabul and Islamabad, the Pakistani capital.On his last visit to the region, Mr. Holbrooke met with Mr. Karzai and with senior Pakistani officials, including the army chief of staff, Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. Mr. Holbrooke's past run-ins with Mr. Karzai, several officials said, have not hindered his ability to deal with the Afghan leader, and Pakistani officials said they trusted him. Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's ambassador to Washington, said that Mr. Holbrooke took time to understand Pakistan's concerns. "Ambassador Holbrooke is liked by some, admired by others and seen as effective, even by those who may not like him," Mr. Haqqani said.Still, General Petraeus is indisputably the key player, and he has wasted no time asserting his control. On a secure videoconference call last Saturday, a person familiar with the call said, General Petraeus threw his support behind a costly, and controversial, plan to install temporary generators to supply more electricity to Kandahar, the Taliban stronghold that is the next major American military target.Mr. Holbrooke and Ambassador Eikenberry swiftly assented.

Netanyahu to meet Obama, but not Clinton Eli Bardenstein, Maariv, July 1 2010 [page 7; Hebrew original here and at bottom of post] Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is to leave next week for Washington, where he will meet with US President Barack Obama. Rather curiously, he is not scheduled to meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the course of his visit to Washington. Contrary to his previous visit in March, this time the US administration intends to create the impression, outwardly at least, that the severe crisis in the relationship has passed and that the relations between the two countries are as strong as ever. In order to bolster that impression, the two leaders will meet the media together and will be photographed. As opposed to the previous time, Netanyahu will also be put up at Blair House, the official White House guesthouse, and not at a hotel. That said, officials in Washington are waiting apprehensively for the answers that Netanyahu will provide in the course of the meeting, which is expected to address the transition from the proximity talks that are at an impasse to direct negotiations. Obama, apparently, will demand that Netanyahu agree to extend the construction freeze in Judea and Samaria beyond the September 26 expiration date in hope of securing PA Chairman Abu Mazen's consent to begin direct talks with Israel. For the time being, the forum of seven is divided over this issue.

"We have picked up a few family members" related to Faisal Shahzad, the chief suspect in the attempted attack, a security official in Karachi said. A friend of Shahzad was also arrested. Shahzad, a 30-year-old Pakistani-American, was arrested late on May 3 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York after being removed from a plane as it was about take off for Dubai, American officials said. Another intelligence official in Pakistan said Shahzad received militant training in northwest Pakistan near the garrison town of Kohat. The area around Kohat is a stronghold of Tariq Afridi, the main Pakistani Taliban commander in the region. Pakistan, which could come under renewed U.S. pressure to crack down harder on militants after the Times Square incident, vowed to help the United States bring Shahzad to justice Shahzad will appear in Manhattan federal court to face charges "for allegedly driving a car bomb into Times Square on the evening of May 1", according to a statement by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, FBI agent George Venizelos and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. "We will cooperate with the United States in identifying this individual and bringing him to justice," Interior Minister Rehman Malik told Reuters. U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Anne W. Patterson met Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Malik and talked about the issue, Pakistani government officials and the U.S. Embassy said. "We have an ongoing cooperation with the United States on anti-terrorism efforts. If required by the United States, we will extend full cooperation to them in this regard," Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said.

That's what a pair of young State Department officials found in Syria, where they were leading a trade delegation of Silicon Valley executives. Their bosses back in Washington were mortified when media blogs picked up the musings of Alec Ross and Jared Cohen on Twitter about which Syrian cafes serve the greatest frappuccino (Kalamoon University) and their challenge to the Syrian telecom minister for a cake-eating contest (called "Creative Diplomacy.") Creative, indeed. It was a mild, but unfortunate distraction from what was widely considered an otherwise productive mission. The delegation of senior executives, from tech heavyweights like Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Dell, met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and other officials, as well as businessmen, civil society groups and academics battling their government's tight-fisted control on the Internet. The visit illustrated both the opportunities and the landmines Hillary Clinton's State Department has to navigate as it logs into the digital age. In Foggy Bottom, one needs to be fired up about being wired up. Blogging and tweeting are now part of every diplomat's job description. At any given moment you can find someone like the top official on Latin America tweeting in Spanish about his latest trip to Peru, or Secretary Clinton herself posting podcasts on the State Department website and soliciting questions from the public on the State Department's blog, Dipnote. Beneath the web atmospherics is what Ross, Clinton's "innovation" guru, calls "21st century statecraft." Ross, a 38-year-old former technology adviser to the Obama campaign, and his partner in crime, Jared Cohen, a 28-yearold author on genocide, youth and jihad who joined the State Department during the Bush administration, are at the forefront of a new push by Clinton to use technology and social media as a diplomatic tool. Since taking office, Clinton has made the spread of information technology and Internet freedom a cornerstone of her foreign policy, hoping both will serve as catalysts for spreading democracy. It used to be one of the biggest carrots the State Department could dangle before a country was a visit by the secretary of state. Now it is a delegation of Silicon Valley heavyweights led by Ross and Cohen, which might include executives from Microsoft, Google or Facebook. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769255 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769255 Date: 08/31/2015 Since the Obama administration took office, they have led delegations with executives from tech giants such as Google, Facebook and Twitter to Iraq, Russia and Mexico with some tangible results. In Iraq, Google created a project to make digital copies of 14,000 antiquities in Iraq's National Museum. And in Mexico, the delegation helped develop a network for Mexicans to report drug-related crimes by cell phone. The visit to Syria came as the Obama administration takes baby steps toward engagement with that nation. The United States had not had an ambassador in Damascus for five years and the administration's efforts to fill that post have been stymied by Congress. The U.S. delegation was requested by President Assad himself earlier this year in meetings with senior U.S. officials. The United States hopes playing to Assad's desire to modernize his economy and stated willingness for better diplomatic and trade ties with the Obama administration could drive a wedge between Syria and Iran, its closest ally. Moreover, the United States hopes facilitating the flow of information into Syria will create a more open political climate there. While in Syria, the delegation was surprised to find many young entrepreneurs with a widely different attitude about the outside world and a desire to network into it, including one young woman who, during a session with the deputy IT minister, looked him straight in the eye and asked for more access to the internet. "Syria's population is going to double in the next 17 years," Cohen said. "And young people in Syria are going to become increasingly digital and connected or increasingly isolated. It is in our interest to see they are digital and connected." Strict U.S. sanctions against Syria for its support for terrorist groups in Lebanon, Iraq and the Palestinian territories ban the sale of most technology to Syrian markets, but the White House does have waiver authority to sell certain products to Syria, and the purpose of the trip, in part, was to help facilitate American technology companies to enter the Syrian market. The Obama administration has eased exports of certain telecommunication products in countries where they were once banned, including Cuba, Iran, Sudan and China, out of fears repressive regimes would use them to oppress their people. "We are not naive," Ross said. "... Syria says it needs this technology for it's economic development. We understand that, but we were very careful about the companies we selected for this delegation. We won't support technology being reverse-engineered." The Syrian government has blamed the sanctions for its economic stagnation. But the executives, whose companies have a combined market value of close to a half a trillion dollars, delivered a blunt message to the regime in Damascus -one which can't be delivered credibly by the US government: Our companies won't do business in a country without internet freedom or protections for intellectual property. "They painted a picture of what Syria could have," Cohen said of the delegation. "What they could invest in if Syria took certain steps." During the visit both Cisco and Microsoft raised the possibility of training in Syria under the right conditions. As a result of the visit, the Syrians pledged to pass an e-commerce law that would provide safeguards against government censorship or infiltration of internet sites, something the Obama administration had pushed for. But U.S. officials made clear further steps would be based on Syria's actions on loosening the information chokehold, rather than its promises. Ahmed Salkini, a spokesman for the Syrian Embassy in Washington, said his government is dedicated to "creating an environment conducive for the work of IT companies and hopes to pass the e-commerce law "in the very near future" Salkini said the Syrian government found the delegation was successful in scoping opportunities for future cooperation. "We constantly encourage private sector interaction between the U.S. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769255 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769255 Date: 08/31/2015 and Syria," he said. But he added, "We think the only way for this type of cooperation to succeed is with a lack of governmental interferences and lack of political agenda from both sides." This month Ross and Cohen will lead a delegation to Colombia and later this year, it's on to India. They are a couple of virtual and diplomatic soul mates, virtually attached at the hip and finishing each other's sentences. Both have become Twitterati (celebrities on Twitter) in their own right, as they tweet their way around the world spreading the gospel of 21st century statecraft. Ross has some 287,000 followers on Twitter, while Cohen -- who gained notoriety last year when he asked Twitter to delay scheduled maintenance to allow the Iranian opposition to continue to use it to organize after the disputed election -- has about 305,000. They are the public face of an effort at the State Department to wire the unwired. Clinton recently told a group of Russian civil society groups visiting Washington, "We have a great team of really dedicated young people -- primarily young people -- who care deeply about connecting people up. And I'm very proud of the work they're doing." If they have a corner on the 21st century statecraft market now, it won't be for long. Recently Ross trained 50 European ambassadors on how to implement the concept in their own countries. His goal, he says, is to create a community in which countries can share their technology innovations among each other. For example Kenya, a pioneer in mobile banking, could help spread the concept to its neighbors and beyond. After their Syrian adventures in Twitterville, Ross and Cohen were advised to continue to use the technology, but avoid the minutiae. Still, State Department officials believe the digital duo is good for business, drawing in a new generation of individuals interested in U.S. foreign policy. "What they do has tremendous value," said Assistant Secretary P.J. Crowley, the State Department's spokesman. "Whatever they put in their tweets, they have 600,000 Twitters followers that are now connected in some way to the State Department. And I will take that to the bank."

I'm at the end of week-long trip to Kampala, Kinshasa and now Nairobi. The trip has been very productive and I will fill you in on some of the discussions I have been having when I return. In the meantime, I know that there are a number of discussions with Dan Benjamin and others relating to a new more aggressive approach to CVE and I wanted to update you on my thoughts in terms of how those critical discussions fit in with our overall approach to strategic communications around the globe. As you and I have discussed, it is essential that we become much more pro-active in all our communications efforts. To put it bluntly, we are in an "information war" on all fronts. With the proliferation of media outlets and opportunities around the world, we must fight aggressively to get, and maintain, our fair share of "consumer share of mind." Both our adversaries and allies recognize the importance of this aspect of foreign policy and are adopting new ways of communicating with foreign publics. Consumers everywhere are constantly facing a barrage of information and in some cases misinformation and dis-information. In order to get our messages across and confront the threats posed by our adversaries, we must develop a new sense of urgency in all our communications efforts. Much has been said and written about the concept of "soldier diplomats". In the same vein, I believe we must empower a corps of "diplomat soldiers" to help us gain ground in this new war. While countering violent extremism is, and will remain, a key objective of our communications efforts we must apply the same level of determination with respect to all communications. We must both aggressively promote positive stories about the US and rapidly respond to attacks against us. In the past, our failure to respond to attacks and distortions has diminished our credibility and undermined our ability to combat our adversaries. For example, had we not responded to all the rumors and innuendos surrounding our relief efforts in Haiti, I believe we would have provided a fertile field for AQ and others to continue to perpetuate the image of the US as an "invader". Before I left for this trip, I convened a meeting of our top PD officers and told them that we must become much more aggressive in our strategic communications programs and initiatives. We plan to implement daily calls between our new regional PD DAS's and PAO's in the regions so we can monitor on a daily basis all stories about the USG. We will work with the Posts to ensure that they have strategies for dealing with stories as they develop. I would also like to request that you send a cable to all Chiefs of Mission informing of the new strategy and reminding them of their responsibilities in this critical area. We will work on a draft for your review when you return. Finally, we are developing new organizational solutions, modeled on an approach I saw at our Mission in Uganda, which I think will greatly clarify roles and responsibilities with respect to in country communications not only within the Mission, but across all government agencies within particular countries.

You will have seen press reports that Micheletti is stepping down — reportedly it will be a "leave of absence" for legal reasons. If this holds, it is an important development that we have been pushing to allow space for Pepe Lobo to get off to a good start and encourage greater attendance at the Jan 27 inauguration. This was the point of my Jan 5-6 trip to Tegucigalpa, Hugo's consistent efforts and our follow-up visa revocations. Two nights ago President Martinelli of Panama called me saying Micheletti wanted to find a way out and would he, Martinelli, talk to me. I spoke with Martinelli about ten times over the last two days to discuss specifics. Micheletti wanted to depart Friday but I told Martinelli that it had to be today because regional leaders need time to make their plans. Micheletti wanted assurances that visas would be restored, but we simply forward to Martinelli our standing press guidance that we continuously review visa decisions based on the situation on the ground. ck SBU This email is UNCLASSIFIED.

Sending you lots of love and good luck in your incredibly important mission. xo, Ann UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769266 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769268 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: McHale, Judith A Friday, July 2, 2010 10:58 AM Fw: Cultural Letters Congress, Olver Culture Letter, v. 2.docx Fyi, a bit of Congressipnal outreach. Jm From: Pally, Maura M. To: McHale, Judith A Cc: Stock, Ann; DiMartino, Kitty; Maughan, Chelsea V Sent: Fri Jul 02 10:14:24 2010 Subject: Cultural Letters Following up on your great recommendation during the cultural working group debrief to notify Members of Congress when we send their constituents on our cultural programs, we have implemented a correspondence system to notify Members upon the return of their constituents. Each week, we will review our cultural program participant list and send letters accordingly. The basic letter template which will be personalized as needed (see attached for an example) has been cleared by H and R to expedite the process. We will also periodically review how many participants we have from each state and send letters to Senators as appropriate. Today, we sent our first batch of letters out to: Congressman Robert Brady (D-PA1) Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (D-NY11) Congressman Eliot Engel (D-NY17) Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX18) Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY8) Congressman John Olver (D-MA) Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY15) Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA27) If this process proves as successful as we think it will, we can work towards broadening it to our other programs as well. It's a great idea and a wonderful way to share all that we are doing with those who might not even know they are benefiting!

This program is an important way to engage foreign audiences by providing U.S. embassies financial support for presentations of American performing arts and artists. We received excellent feedback on the Kaleidoscope Trio. This outstanding jazz ensemble delighted hundreds of people in Mali through concerts and many thousands more through feature programming on nationwide radio and TV outlets. During stops in Yamoussoukro, Tiassele, and Abidjan, the group conducted participatory workshops and discussions for nearly 475 students. The ensemble's packed schedule included workshops at the Bamako School for the Blind as well as music and high schools throughout the capital; an outdoor concert for 500 in a town in southwest Mali; and, a joint performance with Grammy-nominated Malian artist Bassekou Kouyate. The Trio members' willingness to provide free music lessons during their downtime deeply impressed Malian audiences. Perhaps the greatest cultural exchange occurred in Abidjan when group member, Gilad Dobrecky, was presented with an "ahoko," an African percussion instrument, and to the surprise and enjoyment of the audience seamlessly incorporated it into the trio's repertoire. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase America's accomplished and talented artists through our cultural projects. Your constituents' willingness to undertake the rigors of international travel to engage foreign audiences, foster goodwill and provide insight into our culture and values makes them true citizen diplomats. We are grateful to them for helping us accomplish our country's foreign policy objectives. Sincerely, Maura M. Pally Deputy Assistant Secretary for Professional and Cultural Exchanges The Honorable John Olver, House of Representatives.

STATEMENT BY SECRETARY CLINTON Bombing of the Shrine of Syed Ali Hujviri in Lahore I was shocked and saddened by yesterday's attack on one of Pakistan's most popular places of worship, the Shrine of Syed All Hujviri (Data Ganjbakhsh) in Lahore, which claimed the lives of many innocent Pakistanis. The extremists have shown that they respect neither human dignity nor the fundamental religious values of Pakistani society. Violating the sanctity of this revered shrine is a particularly sinister attempt to destabilize Pakistan and to intimidate its people. The attackers will not succeed, as the Pakistani public refuses to be cowed by such violence. We condemn this brutal crime and reaffirm our commitment to support the Pakistani people in their efforts to defend their democracy from the violent extremists who seek to destroy it. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and with all the people of Pakistan. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769272 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769273 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 From: Sent: To: Subject Attachments: Sullivan, Jacob J Thursday, January 21, 2010 7:47 PM H FW: A potential climate call tomorrow S points for Wen call 1-21-10 v3.docx FYI.

Here is the rationale and background: The European Union Foreign Affairs Council, comprised of all 27 EU Foreign Ministers, will next meet on May 10. In a conversation April 26, Bill Burns persuaded the E3 and European Commission to support adding to the agenda of that meeting a discussion of preparations for the sanctions the EU will impose following passage of a UNSCR. The European Council, comprised of the EU's heads of government, will meet on June 16-17 — a meeting which could direct the imposition of such sanctions if we succeed in passing an UNSCR by then. The purpose of your teleconference would be to hear from the E3 and Ashton a status report on the EU's preparations to impose such sanctions, and to discuss how the U.S. could best support the EU's forward progress. It would supplement experts' level consultations we have been conducting for several weeks, including meetings on May 3 and May 6. The measures the Europeans are considering include bans on new Iranian bank branches in the EU, correspondent banking relationships, new investment in the Iranian energy sector, and on access for Iranian ships to European ports.

It would be very cheap, could get started very soon—say mid-February, could be linked to other distribution networks (food/medical supplies), and would be quite organic and grassroots. I'll call it the Griot education project (in the west African tradition of a streetside storytellers). Context/Understanding: Looks like there are a few hundred thousand kids in Port-au-Prince who pretty soon will be (already are) sitting around day-to-day w/ more or less nothing to do. Their schools got destroyed, their neighborhoods in rough shape. These are young kids who would be best served if they could get out of the house for a few hours a day (possibly even freeing up parents to do rebuilding or other work), and not spend their time getting caught up in crime, or desperately searching through rubble for a mal to eat... and get back to school, and engage their naturally curious brains. The goal of this program is to immediately give them a place to go, a chance to interface with an energetic educator, and at least expose them to relevant, skill-enhancing academic work that engages them while we rebuild education infrastructure. It also would likely get them 1 meal each day, and if needed a way to get referred for immediate medical attention. Griot Educators: We recruit and equip a cadre of teachers who will go out into communities with a set of portable materials each momingeducators who after a few days will find a place to teach, and will have attracted class of students. This is modeled off the street artist/storyteller. We flyer the neighborhoods, advertising teaching positions. We work w/ whoever we can find who can help us identify people who were good teachers prior to the earthquake and/or people who have the abilty to attract kids (appropriately). We select teachers. We agree to pay them a daily/weekly stipend. We want people who know their communities, who don't need a lot of direction, who will take a cart full of educational materials, find a corner, or abandoned building and start teaching to whoever shows up. People who will do anything to get some young kids to try to read or do some math problems or sing songs and write poetry... Education Supply Centers We set up education supply centers and a distribution system. Each center is staffed by small team-1 lead person is an education-leader, others are admin and support. Griots come the center in the morning, they get a day's worth of educational materials (we select it, we photocopy it, we give them 50 pencils, etc.). We agree to send over 50 meals two hours later. Each Griot wheels his portable classroom to his/her spot and sets up shop... Kids come, and he/she teaches. It builds momentum and kids get off the streets, out of their homes and come to the morning 'school' site. Kids who come get a meal. Maybe we end up w/ 3 tiers of Griots-1 who works w/ 4, 5, 6 year olds, 1 with 7, 8, 9 year olds, 1 with 10, 11, 12 year olds. Each one picks up a packet of material that is more or less appropriate for that age group. All this is incredibly flexible and fluid. Maybe one morning session and then an after lunch session.

They have copiers, lots of paper, basic school supplies, some art supplies, etc. (Over time, maybe people donate a bunch of books or magazines, etc—they become ways for artists, volunteers, entertainers to connect w/ kids, as well.) Each morning a group of Griots go to their supply centers and pick up materials, and fill up their cart... and roll down the block, or blocks and set up their 'school' for the day. Maybe someone wants to donate a bunch of art supplies, or harmonicas—who knows—whatever it takes to get kids to show up and do some academic and enrichment activities. These education supply centers likely get linked to other distribution hubs. This way they can get linked w/ food or other supplies. Longer-term/setting the stage for longer-term ramp up Over time, some of the Griots will end up running little schools that start to feel permanent. Kids will bring in chairs and stools...maybe some of the teaching material ends up staying at the school sites, and the end up as likely places for folks to build/rebuild schools. But in the near term, the 'school' is whatever spot the Griot goes to where he/she can attract a cadre of kids—and the good news is that can be almost anywhere. This program is cheap -- as costly as it is to pay stipends to the Griots, plus the cost of supplies, delivery, and some human capital to man the supply centers, develop/acquire high interest, high educational value material. I think quite cheap, and could easily be costed out once we knew about how much we need to pay a Griot for a day of teaching. It also gets some folks working, immediately. Some Griots would take stipend and not teach; some wouldn't do it well; some would pawn off the food/biscuits...But we could weed much of that out and w/ this sort of approach, you don't let a few bad apples spoil the larger program (or fear of them stop it from getting started). This program is about planting the seeds for the future schools to come, about getting young kids off streets and stoops and into a fun/learning environment, about empowering talented teacher-artists to go out into their communities armed w/ some basic materials, their good will, their creativity (and a paycheck)—together the kids and the Griots will find local places to call and claim as their schools. And while this is going on, we have time to build out infrastructure (human capital, facilities, instructional/curricular materials) for more robust ramp-up over time. Per usual, feel free to ignore or pass on. dd UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769288 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769292 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: sbvvhoeop Thursday, January 21, 2010 10:20 PM H: early review.

Sid http://jamesfallows.theatiantic.comiarchives/2010/01/a_momentous_40_hours.php#more Xr 07: Hi!!ary Clinton's "Internet freedom speech iVian A momentous 40 hours, leading to Clinton/China/Internet 21 Jan 2010 04:12 pm Apart from two obvious pieces of momentous news in the past day-and-a-half -- the new junior Senator from ckv V. V5-rvi,, - c.:! (by which I mean today's lamentable, straight-party-line Supreme Court Massachusetts, and the new ruline; that removes limits from direct corporate underwriting of political campaigns) -- there is one other event today that will have big ripple effects. i mean SecState Hillary Clinton's speech this morning about "Internet Freedom," mentioned ;:lere and with a prelude discussion I'm not going to take time for a thorough gloss of the speech. Instead I highly recommend reading the full text, lette, or watching the official video, .'tere. And for now some of the main points while listening (and noting main points down in real time with the handy u ' iveaSccibe, pen.) - In contrast to the dreamy Internet optimism of a decade or so ago -- I'm not naming names, but I remember! -- when many people imagined that info technology, by itself, would undermine oppression and bring the world together, Clinton started off with a very astringent reminder that this technology, like others, was neither good or bad in itself and is already being used in both helpful and destructive ways: "Amid this unprecedented surge in connectivity, we must also recognize that these technologies are not an unmitigated blessing. These tools are also being exploited to undermine human progress and political rights. Just as steel can be used to build hospitals or machine guns, or nuclear power can either energize a city or destroy it, modern information networks and the technologies they support can be harnessed for good or for ill. The same networks that help organize movements for freedom also enable al-Qaida to spew hatred and incite violence against the innocent. And technologies with the potential to open up access to government and promote transparency can also be hijacked by governments to crush dissent and deny human rights." And a very nice pivot out of this section, effective because it's so blunt and plain: "On their own, new technologies do not take sides in the struggle for freedom and progress, but the United States does." - Underscoring the "this is a big deal" tone of the speech, she enumerated the "Four Freedoms" that FDR proclaimed in 1941, as part of the struggle for the world's future, and said there were a comparable set of Four Freedoms for the Internet age. Check out the speech yourself for details. - The China surprise: the speech was a more frontal challenge to Chinese internet and overall censorship policy than I expected, and than I recall in other US-China interactions in a very long time. For instance, early in the speech, an itemization of the places where suppression is getting worse: "In the last year, we've seen a spike in threats to the free flow of information. China, Tunisia, and Uzbekistan have stepped up their censorship of the Internet. In Vietnam, access to popular social networking sites has suddenly disappeared. And last Friday in Egypt, 30 bloggers and activists were detained."

Compared to the US as a financial power, OK; overtaking japan in economic size, yes; being a crucial player in environmental negotiations.., all that is one thing. Bracketed in the same sentence with Tunisia and Uzbekistan is different. Sentences like this don't appear in formal, bigdeal SecState addresses by accident. Other passages to the same effect: "As I speak to you today, government censors somewhere are working furiously to erase my words from the records of history. But history itself has already condemned these tactics.... "Those who disrupt the free flow of information in our society or any other pose a threat to our economy, our government, and our civil society. Countries or individuals that engage in cyber attacks should face consequences and international condemnation...." And then the Google section itself. I had wondered whether the speech would mention Google by name -- and had reason to think it might not. (Main argument forleavina it implicit rather than referring directly to the Google case: in the company's ongoing efforts to find a "ilvineyiftaiv_in" acceptable way to remain in China, rather than a lose-lose-lose permanent split, its not necessarily a help to have the U.S. government standing officially by its side. ) But the way Sec. Clinton introduced the point was significant: H.to,tentiai and sustain its economic rise: as a proxy for China's own ability to "To use market terminology, a publicly listed company in Tunisia or Vietnam that operates in an environment of censorship will always trade at a discount relative to an identical firm in a free society. If corporate decision makers don't have access to global sources of news and information, investors will have less confidence in their decisions over the long term. Countries that censor news and information must recognize that from an economic standpoint, there is no distinction between censoring political speech and commercial speech. If businesses in your nations are denied access to either type of information, it will inevitably impact on growth. "Increasingly, U.S. companies are making the issue of internet and information freedom a greater consideration in their business decisions. I hope that their competitors and foreign governments will pay close attention to this trend. The most recent situation involving Google has attracted a great deal of interest. And we look to the Chinese authorities to conduct a thorough review of the cyber intrusions that led Google to make its announcement. And we also look for that investigation and its results to be transparent. "The Internet has already been a source of tremendous progress in China, and it is fabulous. There are so many people in China now online. But countries that restrict free access to information or violate the basic rights of internet users risk walling themselves off from the progress of the next century. Now, the United States and China have different views on this issue, and we intend to address those differences candidly and consistently in the context of our positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship." There's a lot more in the speech, including about terrorism, disaster relief, religion, etc -- but it's there for the reading. Back to the to-do list for me now.

Trafficking fears as Haiti children go missing Posted 5 hours 47 minutes ago Updated 5 hours 46 minutes ago Slideshow: Photo 1 of 2 The UN has warned countries not to step up adoptions from Haiti in the wake of the disaster. (AFP: Matthew Marek United Nations officials say children have gone missing from hospitals in Haiti since the devastating January 12 earthquake, raising fears of trafficking for adoption abroad. "We have documented around 15 cases of children disappearing from hospitals and not with their own family at the time," said UNICEF adviser Jean Luc Legrand. "UNICEF has been working in Haiti for many years and we knew the problem with the trade of children in Haiti that existed already beforehand. "Unfortunately, many of these trade networks have links with the international adoption market." The agency said it had warned countries during the past week not to step up adoptions from Haiti in the immediate wake of the quake. However several are fast-tracking adoption procedures already under way, including Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. Mr Legrand said the situation was similar to the aftermath of the tsunami in Asia five years ago. Trafficking networks were springing into action immediately after the disaster and taking advantage of the weakness of local authorities and relief coordination "to kidnap children and get them out of the country".

The UN mission in Haiti has stepped up surveillance of roads, UNICEF officials said. Mr Legrand said there was separate but only anecdotal evidence of people taking children by road to the neighbouring Dominican Republic and loading children on to planes. "We have seen over the past years many children being taken out of the country without any legal procedure," he said. "This is going on. This is happening now. We are starting to have the first evidence of that, this is unquestionable." He was unable to give details on the 15 missing children or their condition or clearly connect the anecdotal observations in Haiti's chaos with trafficking. The cases were documented by social workers and by partner non-governmental organisations working for UNICEF in hospitals. - AFP UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769313 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769315 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Muscatine, Lissa Friday, January 22, 2010 3:00 PM internet freedom If you have the time or inclination, it would be really nice if you could send an email to Tom icah, or phone him.

Sid http://blog.newsweelocom/blogs/thegaggle/archive/2010/01/22/should-foreign-corporations-spend-money-on-u-s-politicalcandidates.aspx Posted Friday, January 22, 2010 1:05 PM Newsweek Should Foreign Corporations Spend Money on U.S. Political Candidates? Krista Gesaman Foreign businesses might be the real winners in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, the landmark case that allows corporations and unions to spend limitless amounts of money on presidential and congressional political campaigns. A majority of large businesses are now owned by foreign entities, and this means international corporations could pour tons of money into the United States political scene, potentially swaying the political climate. The biggest questions with this ruling is the scope of the term "corporation," says Edward Foley, law professor at the Ohio State University College of Law and director of the election-law program. Does the high court want this decision to apply to foreign corporations as well as domestic ones, he ponders? The truth is, the court didn't make a decision one way or the other. Foley best explains the potential issues by talking about the electronic, video, and communication giant, Sony. The corporation is headquartered in Japan, but a large number of its shareholders reside in the United States. In fact, people can even buy and trade Sony's stock on the New York Stock Exchange. The issue is whether this corporation, with strong ties to a foreign country and the United States, should be permitted to independently contribute money to presidential and congressional campaigns. The court sought to expand First Amendment protection for corporations, but did it really mean to promote the free flow of ideas from Russian or Chinese corporations, Foley asks? Justice John Pau! Stevens focused on the same concerns in his dissenting opinion. The majority's position "would appear to afford the same protection to multinational corporations controlled by foreigners as to individual Americans," he writes. This afternoon, President Obama asked Congress to "develop a forceful response" to the ruling. But with Congress juggling so many other important issues, it's unlikely that a change will be made in the immediate future. This could mean that foreign cash could be supporting political candidates in next year's congressional midterm elections.

Trafficking fears as Haiti children go missing Posted 5 hours 47 minutes ago Updated 5 hours 46 minutes ago Slideshow: Photo 1 of 2 The UN has warned countries not to step up adoptions from Haiti in the wake of the disaster. (AFP: Matthew Marek United Nations officials say children have gone missing from hospitals in Haiti since the devastating January 12 earthquake, raising fears of trafficking for adoption abroad. "We have documented around 15 cases of children disappearing from hospitals and not with their own family at the time," said UNICEF adviser Jean Luc Legrand. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769360 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769360 Date: 08/31/2015 "UNICEF has been working in Haiti for many years and we knew the problem with the trade of children in Haiti that existed already beforehand. "Unfortunately, many of these trade networks have links with the international adoption market." The agency said it had warned countries during the past week not to step up adoptions from Haiti in the immediate wake of the quake. However several are fast-tracking adoption procedures already under way, including Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. Mr Legrand said the situation was similar to the aftermath of the tsunami in Asia five years ago. Trafficking networks were springing into action immediately after the disaster and taking advantage of the weakness of local authorities and relief coordination "to kidnap children and get them out of the country". Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said child enslavement and trafficking in Haiti was "an existing problem and could easily emerge as a serious issue over the coming weeks and months". The UN mission in Haiti has stepped up surveillance of roads, UNICEF officials said. Mr Legrand said there was separate but only anecdotal evidence of people taking children by road to the neighbouring Dominican Republic and loading children on to planes. "We have seen over the past years many children being taken out of the country without any legal procedure," he said. "This is going on. This is happening now. We are starting to have the first evidence of that, this is unquestionable." He was unable to give details on the 15 missing children or their condition or clearly connect the anecdotal observations in Haiti's chaos with trafficking. The cases were documented by social workers and by partner non-governmental organisations working for UNICEF in hospitals. - AFP UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769360 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769363 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 Mills, Cheryl D Friday, January 22, 2010 6:01 PM From: Sent: To: Subject: FW: haiti comments From: Mark Schneider [mailto: Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 12:29 PM To: Mills, Cheryl D Cc: Brigety, Reuben; Curtis, Meghann A Subject: RE: haiti comments That number—I think il has to be over $1 b. tho because people will compare it to Mitch--sounds right to me altho not only will the destruction likely go higher than the final numbers of I believe $8.5 b. for Mitch/George but the cost of reconstruction if the aim is modern buildings, modern systems, decentralized development is also likely to be higher. A separate question, beyond the money are the people who can be committed, which goes to USAID ramping up its staff and capabilities, the civilian response corps and I suspect your QDDR recommendations, on how to imagine a sector by sector renewal with international partners on the ground able to work side-by-side with Haitians in every ministry (starting with those that are priorities, which have to be justice [police, judiciary and prisons], education, agriculture, energy/public works/environment, etc. in PAP but also in those department capitals where you want regional development to be launched--Cap Haitian, Gonaives, Jacmel, Hinche, etc. If it were done as part of an international support team, under UN coord (?), and sign-off upfront from the Haitian government, it might work. Three last points: 1) the Crisis Corps of the Peace Corps--I know that every RPCV who served in Haiti will be desperate to help. Many of them have professional capabilitiesiAsk Aaron to locate them. 2) As part of what announcement is made on Monday, this might be the time to add some number of US Haitian-American Creole-speaking police to the UNPolice force, particularly those with community policing experience, say 100. 3) Finally, what about an emergency lifting of whatever restrictions (quotas, tariffs, etc.) that may still impinge on Haitian agricultural products coming to US, an emergency provisions of phytosanitary expertise to enable their farmers to meet our standards and remove any restrictions (which exist) on their subsidizing their rice farmers for their domestic production.

Right on the money in terms of emphasizing coop with GoH and coord with UN et. al. One thing I am not sure that I mentioned. I looked back and relatively early--4 weeks after Mitch at end Oct 98--we made the estimate that the US contribut would have to be about $1 b. (when early damage estimate was $6 b.) and that was the general amount mentioned in the first formin meeting by Madeleine here in early Dec and then the supplemental went to Congress with more of a breakdown from USAID in early Feb. As soon as you can get an early supplemental to the Hill while the focus is on Haiti, and our forces are on the ground there, the better chances that it will receive early action. Best, mark Mark L.

Will become President of Refugees International in April; Pisano named as Interim CEO Washington, D.C. — Dan Glickman, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) today announced that he will be leaving the MPAA beginning April 1, to become President of Refugees International, the leading advocacy organization on refugee crises worldwide. Bob Pisano, President and Chief Operating Officer at the MPAA since 2005, will become interim CEO, while the search continues for Glickman's replacement. "In making this announcement, I want to thank Barry Meyer, Jim Gianopulos, Brad Grey, Bob Ig-er, Michael Lynton, Ron Meyer, and the entire MPAA. Board of Directors, for their guidance and leadership. It has been an honor to have worked so closely with them. I also want to thank Bob Pismo and all the MPAA staff for their dedication during a time of major transition in our business," Glickman said. "As I look forward to returning to public service and joining Refugees International, I am proud to look back at what the MPAA has accomplished since I took this job in 2004. We have fought vigorously on behalf of the 2.4 million Americans and other workers throughout the world whose jobs are based on a vibrant film and television business. This is a powerful medium that can help make a difference, and I will always value my time here. For me, perhaps the best thing about the job was the movies. I love movies. And as far as I am concerned, we make the best movies in the world." Barry M. Meyer, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., praised Glickman's leadership. 'Dan has demonstrated great leadership in his role as Chairman of the MPAA. He has guided the organization during a time of historic changes and unprecedented challenges throughout the entertainment industry," said Mr. Meyer. `We thank Dan for his tireless support of the issues facing our businesses, particularly in protecting intellectual property rights in the United States and around the world. We wish him every success in his new position." Mr. Meyer continued: "We would also like to express our gratitude to Bob for agreeing to be interim Chairman and have every confidence in his abilities to continue the crucial work of the MPAA."

"Furthermore, we look forward to working with Bob and are grateful that he's agreed to serve as interim CEO over the near term." "Our industry has been well served by Dan's efforts and advocacy worldwide and we appreciate the job he has done on our behalf. He is a great humanitarian and will be very effective in his new role," said Bob Iger, president and CEO, The Walt Disney Company. Glickman, who has held the top position at the MPAA since 2004, had previously announced that he would not be seeking a renewal of his contract beyond September 2010 and has been working with the MPAA board during its search process for a new chief. Glickman presided over the MPAA during a period of unprecedented transition in the film and television industry. The rise of digital technology has presented both challenges in the form of massive copyright theft and innovative opportunities for filmmakers to share their work around the world. Through his leadership, Glickman helped raise awareness of the economic consequences of copyright theft. He also worked with a broad labor and business coalition to secure passage of the Pro-IP Act, which increased resources and enforcement to protect intellectual prooerty. And he has vigorously promoted a myriad of legitimate ways for consumers to view movies and TV shows on the Internet. Glickman also helped lead the effort to win passage of legislation banning camcording in movie theaters throughout the United States and around the world. And he worked to modernize the movie rating system, increasing its transparency and launching a free weekly Red Carpet Ratings email service that makes this resource more accessible to parents.

(MPAA) since October 2005 and brings to the MPAA a wealth of diversified experience in business and legal practice.

Even before the earthquake, there were in Haiti up to 300,000 restaveks (children given away or sold by their parents and enslaved as domestic servants), as well as reports that members of MINUSTAH used trafficked women in prostitution. In the 2009 TIP Report Haiti was classified as a Special Case country with governance so dysfunctional it could not be ranked. The initial disaster response is focusing on immediate needs of food, shelter, and medical care, but has thus far not addressed TIP prevention and protection issues. While attention is being paid to the problems of orphans and adoptees, TIP was not adequately addressed in the UN's initial flash appeal, so it is unclear which agency in the international system has the lead on the ground. UNICEF has the child protection lead, UNFPA leads prevention of sexual and gender-based violence, and IOM is tasked with shelter and camp management. We will work to remedy, in a subsequent appeal, the omission of TIP from the operational plan. We are moving to redirect $1 million of program funds that G/TIP has on Hispaniola and to reprogram an additional $550,000; we will work with PRM to identify other funding possibilities. Working through existing grantees and other experienced NG0s, it is our intention to help resuscitate police child protection brigades that already exist in Haiti, to rebuild capacity of Haitian organizations that protect restaveks, to prevent traffickers in the Dominican Republic from enslaving displaced Haitians on farms and in prostitution, and to educate Haitian parents of the risks of giving their children away in this time of crisis.

I understand that media appearances, especially if higher profile, can cause sensitivities. Best wishes Jean-Louis Lessons from the Aceh and Nias Multi-Donor Trust Fund 1. The Government of Indonesia (G01) responded to the Tsunami by issuing a series of government decrees, and immediately organized both overview and relief efforts to ensure a rational and coordinated response. The first task was to produce a Damage and Loss Assessment (DLA). The DLA was followed by a more detailed Master Plan for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (MPRR). The MPRR provided in-depth sector plans, spatial planning, the governance and supervision arrangements of finances with considerable attention to how to avoid or minimize corruption.

Americas: Don't Blame U.S. for Taking Lead in Haiti Most Western Hemisphere media commend US. relief efforts as "sincere," with some rejecting allegations of US. imperialist intent. Several hope the international community will turn current aid into a long-term sustainable development plan for Haiti. Regional media are quick to reject allegations of a hidden agenda behind U.S. assistance to Haiti. Criticism of U.S. leadership on relief has come in part from leaders such as Venezuelan President Chavez and associated media outlets. When pro-Chavez Ultimas Noticias called U.S. efforts "an invasion presented as relief assistance," the Dominican Republic's Diario Libre labeled such statements "silliness." Ecuador's popular Diario Expreso comments, "To provide assistance is not an invasion, it falls within the scope of humanitarian law." Criticism also has come• from countries, primarily Brazil and Jamaica, which see themselves as rightful leaders of Haitian assistance. Brazil's command of the U.N. peace mission led some Brazilian officials to see it as the "natural candidate to coordinate efforts to help the Haitian nation rise from the ruins." Jamaica's Sunday Gleaner argues Jamaica, as the "natural leader" of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and coordinator of its efforts in Haiti, "must spearhead" the nation's rebuilding. United States "is probably in the best condition" to "take charge of the situation," but argued it should do so with the support of the U.N. and the CARICOM Secretariat. ...Global community for the long haul Several outlets note that Haiti has long lacked the infrastructure and institutions that could give its citizens "political, intellectual, and economic freedom." As a result, media, regardless of attitudes toward U.S. relief efforts, now call for the international community to take a more comprehensive approach to aiding Haiti. Chile's conservative La Tercera wants the international community, especially Latin America, to maintain a "long-term focus" on Haiti. Both Canada's Toronto Star and Jamaica's Sunday Gleaner want a "Marshall Plan" for Haiti, not as a U.S. initiative, but as part of a "global effort." U.S. must take the lead now... Some media in both Brazil and Jamaica, however, argue that the United States alone is able to lead efforts in Haiti. Brazil's centerright 0 Estado de S. Paolo scolds Brazilian authorities for their "less than awkward" initial reaction to U.S. operations in Haiti. The same paper argues "the Brazilian reaction ignored the basic reality, which was clear to President Preval, that no other country had comparable means to help Haiti other than the U.S." The Jamaica Observer concedes the Canada's liberal Toronto Star January 16, 2010 This product analyzes commentary from the Western Hemisphere January 14-22, 2010 reacting to the international relief effort in Haiti.

It's the kind of typical collective dissection we have now come to expect but that never really existed before: serious, speculative, arcane, funny, brilliant, baked, etc. The Sunliaht Foundation b!000inci is predictably good. Paul Blumenthal dips into the multinational dimension of the new "corporation as full citizen-person" framework, drawing on blogging going on at Neytsweqk and the CerAer for Pubiic inte'r'. "Looks like [the Court] might support allowing foreign companies to spend freely in elections in the United States. I guess this would be the corporate globalization of the U.S. electoral system." So you gotta ask yourself: Who does Hugo Chavez want for President? Blumenthal excerpting the Center for Public Integrity: The Center for Public Integrity looks at this closer and shows what kind of foreign influence we are looking at: One prominent examples is CITGO Petroleum Company — once the American-born Cities Services Company, but purchased in 1990 by the Venezuelan government-owned Petroieos de Venezuela S.A. The Citizens United ruling could conceivably allow Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has sharply criticized both of the past two U.S. presidents, to spend government funds to defeat an American political candidate, just by having CITGO buy TV ads bashing his target. And it's not just Chavez. The Saudi government owns Houston's Saudi Refining Company and half of Motive Enterprises. Lenovo, which bought IBM's PC assets in 2004, is partially owned by the Chinese government's Chinese Academy of Sciences. And Singapore's APL Limited operates several U.S. port operations. A weakening of the limit on corporate giving could mean China, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and any other country that owns companies that operate in the U.S. could also have significant sway in American electioneering. I really can't see Americans being too happy about this. ha Lithwick reported :rC(' .ate from the Supreme Court as the opinions were being read. She offered this aside: While Stevens is reading the portion of his concurrence about the "cautious view of corporate power" held by the framers, I see Justice Thomas chuckle softly. Was it a disdainful chuckle at the impotence of his colleague? Was it merely a chuckle of disagreement, of good-natured exasperation? Was it a chuckle at an anachronistic vision of the framers set beside today's modern corporate silicon and steel behemoths? I doubt he was thinking about Hugo Chavez.

The Government of Indonesia (G01) responded to the Tsunami by issuing a series of government decrees, and immediately organized both overview and relief efforts to ensure a rational and coordinated response. The first task was to produce a Damage and Loss Assessment (DLA). The DLA was followed by a more detailed Master Plan for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (MPRR). The MPRR provided in-depth sector plans, spatial planning, the governance and supervision arrangements of finances with considerable attention to how to avoid or minimize corruption. The process behind the MPRR was consultative, with a wide range of local stakeholders and public offices being heard. The MPRR was presented on 26 March, only 3 months after the Tsunami. 2. The MPRR was to form the basis for a general three-stage strategy. The Relief phase was originally set to six months, but was then reduced to three: January- March 2005. The Rehabilitation phase is to run for about 21 months, through December 2006, and the Reconstruction phase from July 2006 through December 2009. The MPRR provides a well defined phasing of interventions. 3. The objectives for the Relief efforts were humanitarian relief: rescue; food and medicine; emergency infrastructure and temporary shelter; and burying the dead. The Rehabilitation phase is to restore services to minimum level: public services; economic facilities; banking and financial institutions; trauma treatments; secure land rights; law and order; and temporary shelter. Finally, Reconstruction is to rebuild the region: rebuilding the economy (production, trade and banking); the transportation, telecommunications, and social and cultural systems; improving institutional capacity; and housing. 4. The Government set up a ministerial-level agency to manage the MPRR program from Aceh itself, the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency for Aceh and Nias. The BRR was formally established end April 2005 and became operational early May. The World Bank Board on 30 March 2005 formally established the Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDF) with a Steering Committee comprised of BRR, GOI, donors and civil society. Having a credible local coordinators was key to success. 5. The EC channels nearly 93% of its funds through the MDF, while only 2.5% of USD 400 million from the US goes to the MDF. While payments into the fund were slow, disbursements out of it were to begin with even slower. By October 2005, project agreements for about USD 200 million had been signed, but only USD 3 million had actually been disbursed. Disbursements picked up the pace thereafter. The delay was caused by two principal impediments: first, donors were quick to pledge funds, but getting all the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769391 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769391 Date: 08/31/2015 exact written agreements in place took time. This points to the need for donors to be flexible regarding formal agreements, and accept simple, generic paragraphs that can contribute to speedy resolution of slightly differing phrasings and concerns. Second, the processing time for project approval and implementation was a concern. Since the MDF was to have funded projects on-budget, they had to be implemented by government institutions. This crated bottlenecks. 6. Smaller donors joined because they wished to support the reconstruction efforts in Aceh but do not have own capacity and often not strong views on how best to pursue this. They want the Bank to assume fiduciary responsibilities for the funds in a high-risk environment, and also to take a lead in ensuring that the funds go to prioritized activities. The MDF is thus seen a well-managed bank account with some paidfor administrative services. However, the all-inclusive Steering Committee made membership large and to some extent unwieldy, and forced it to discuss both policy and operational issues. 7. The Multi Donor Fund Secretariat has developed an Outreach Strategy that includes regular radio talk shows, field visits to meet and discuss with beneficiaries and communication through advertisements as well as a telephone hotline. 8. MDF received praise for engaging the Government of Indonesia (G01) in policy dialogue. The MDF is thus an entry point for engaging on conditions for sustainability, relevance and impact. 9. Because the MDF does not accept strict ear marking of donor contributions — though it does allow for preference indications — it means that the funds are freely available for programming according to the criteria and priorities that the MDF agrees to. Given strong GOI participation, the MDF is seen as the most successful instrument for harmonization and coordination in an environment that has been criticized for a lack of coordination. The MDF's Mid Term Review conducted in 2008-2009 found that the MDF had made a positive contribution to harmonizing donor efforts and to increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the reconstruction effort. 10. The MDF did not sufficiently engage the private sector and did not have a coherent job creation strategy.

I understand that media appearances, especially if higher profile, can cause sensitivities. Best wishes Jean-Louis Lessons from the Aceh and Nias Multi-Donor Trust Fund 11. The Government of Indonesia (G01) responded to the Tsunami by issuing a series of government decrees, and immediately organized both overview and relief efforts to ensure a rational and coordinated response. The first task was to produce a Damage and Loss Assessment (DLA). The DLA was followed by a more detailed Master Plan for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (MPRR). The MPRR provided in-depth sector plans, spatial planning, the governance and supervision .arrangements of finances with considerable attention to how to avoid or minimize corruption. The process behind the MPRR was consultative, with a wide range of local stakeholders and public offices being heard. The MPRR was presented on 26 March, only 3 months after the Tsunami. 12. The MPRR was to form the basis for a general three-stage strategy. The Relief phase was originally set to six months, but was then reduced to three: January- March 2005. The Rehabilitation phase is to run for about 21 months, through December 2006, and the Reconstruction phase from July 2006 through December 2009. The MPRR provides a well defined phasing of interventions. 13. The objectives for the Relief efforts were humanitarian relief: rescue; food and medicine; emergency infrastructure and temporary shelter; and burying the dead. The Rehabilitation phase is to restore services to minimum level: public services; economic facilities; banking and financial institutions; trauma treatments; secure land rights; law and order; and temporary shelter.

The Government set up a ministerial-level agency to manage the MPRR program from Aceh itself, the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency for Aceh and Nias. The BRR was formally established end April 2005 and became operational early May. The World Bank Board on 30 March 2005 formally established the Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDF) with a Steering Committee comprised of BRR, GOI, donors and civil society. Having a credible local coordinators was key to success. 15. The EC channels nearly 93% of its funds through the MDF, while only 2.5% of USD 400 million from the US goes to the MDF. While payments into the fund were slow, disbursements out of it were to begin with even slower. By October 2005, project agreements for about USD 200 million had been signed, but only USD 3 million had actually been disbursed. Disbursements picked up the pace thereafter. The delay was caused by two principal impediments: first, donors were quick to pledge funds, but getting all the exact written agreements in place took time. This points to the need for donors to be flexible regarding formal agreements, and accept simple, generic paragraphs that can contribute to speedy resolution of slightly differing phrasings and concerns.

S This is from Justice Stevens' dissent in the Citizens United case: If taken seriously, our colleagues' assumption that the identity of a speaker has no relevance to the Government's ability to regulate political speech would lead to some remarkable conclusions. Such an assumption would have accorded the propaganda broadcasts to our troops by "Tokyo Rose" during World War II the same protection as speech by Allied commanders. More pertinently, it would appear to afford the same protection to multinational corporations controlled by foreigners as to individual Americans: To do otherwise, after all, could " 'enhance the relative voice' "of some ( i.e. , humans) over others ( i.e. , nonhurnans). Ante, at 33 (quoting Buckley, 424 U. S., at 49). aUnder the majority's view, I suppose it may be a First Arnendrnpnt problem that corporations are not permitted to vote, given that voting is, among other things, a form of speech. http://wvvw.law.cornell.edu/supct/htm1/08-205.ZX.htmi Original Message From: H Digg Tweet By John Tomasic 1/22/10 3:58 PM Blogging on the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling is more of what we love about the web.

To avoid a coordination nightmare, try to get a structure in which there is a single authority with some temporary power - e.g. a senior Haiti figure (ex-PM would be ideal) + Bill Clinton, as co-CEOs, supported by a council where you can put the key parties on so they dont feel excluded (e.g. EU which will otherwise sulk). It could start from the April Plan and the US Plan. 2. To scale up basic service provision without doing a total bypass of the state, I suggest the Public Service Agencies model that I have been working up for the OECD. Essentially, centralized funding of decentralized provision. Fortuitously, this has just been endorsed by the Davos Global Agenda Council for Fragile States and will be pitched as one of the key ideas at Davos. I attach the brief Davos write-up of the idea, and a fuller paper that I did recently for the OECD. Please circulate as you think fit. If you need anything from me I will be happy to help.

These are states that do not provide (1) accountable and effective security and social protection; (2) predictable and enforced laws that are generally accepted as legitimate; (3) revenue collection and management of external aid to ensure the delivery of basic social and economic services to society; (4) mechanisms of accountability of state authorities to society. These states are vulnerable to both internal and external shocks and thus their populations are likely to suffer the most from the vagaries of climate change and the impact of droughts and flooding, regional insecurity, and regional and international economic crises. They are marked by low food security, high crime rates and high youth unemployment and are susceptible to the mobilisation efforts of entrepreneurs of violence of all sorts. In all these respects they represent the weakest links in the global community. The causes of state fragility are varied and historically and context specific, so action by the international community needs to be based on an understanding of the particularities of each fragile situation. While not all states marked by poverty and underdevelopment are fragile, almost all fragile states are poor and underdeveloped, so international action needs to be concerned with the reduction of poverty and the creation of wealth in these societies. The past half century of experience underscores that reforming the institutions and organisations of the state in fragile states is a decadal, possibly even generational challenge. The international community must consider what needs to be done today or tomorrow to create the stability and breathing space that will allow these longer term efforts to take root and flourish In recent years the international community has increasingly recognised that to ensure a prosperous and secure global community there is a need to increase foreign assistance to fragile states and to support processes of state-building. We follow the OECD in recognizing that state-building is "an endogenous process to enhance capacity, institutions and legitimacy of the state driven by state-society relations". Important analytical work on understanding the conditions of fragility and the requirements of external assistance to state-building has been undertaken by the OECD, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and by individual bilateral development agencies. The Council wishes to build on these initiatives, avoid duplication and draw attention to areas that have not received enough attention.

Often states are heavily dependent on external resources to finance such services and the challenge is to put these to good use without undermining incentives to raise domestic revenue that can eventually replace external assistance. Donors in a hurry to see that funds are spent effectively often channel them outside state systems, which can undermine or pre-empt the consolidation of viable and accountable state organisations. At the same time, for understandable reasons, donors are cautious about budget support, where blank cheques are written to governments without assurances that accountability standards will be met. The existing tools of development assistance, however appropriate for delivering aid to poor but stable and relatively well functioning states, are not adequate for confronting the conditions of state fragility: • where people have a deep distrust of states • where states are often weak and repressive • where societies nonetheless have considerable resilience The costs of donor mistakes in delivering aid are high everywhere, but in fragile states the costs can be catastrophic, leading to state collapse, violence and in the worst cases regional instability and war. The existence of fragile states compels us to look for imaginative solutions. An innovative approach will ensure: • Mutual responsibility between donors and states in spending public resources • Accountability to local communities in how public resources are spent • Building upon existing local capacities and drawing on capacities at the regional and national levels • Delivering resources in ways perceived as equitable and iust • Long term commitment by donors that matches the long term task of overcoming fragility Objectives: A New Aid Delivery Mechanism would: 1. Allow for domestic resources to be collected and donor moneys channelled according to a set of accountability mechanisms that would be transparently measured and reported upon; and 2. Key policies and services to be implemented through "National Programs" that would implement specific functions at the appropriate level of governance, through a system of implementation within state systems, thereby avoiding the creation of parallel organisations outside the state and instead contributing to developing state systems that can eventually replace external aid with domestic revenue; 3. Ensure that representative organisations in society have the opportunity and means to participate in, monitor and supervise the exercise of power and dispensation of public resources. Means: 1. A set of Accountability Standards across the key state functions should be agreed, and the state required to report on and make transparent all revenues, procurement and licensing decisions, asset disposal and acquisition, budgets, expenditures, accounts and audits. 2. The integrity of spending would be guaranteed through a dual-oversight agency where responsibility is shared between state authorities and external funders. A range of instruments could be deployed, including IMF/ World Bank monitoring, trust funds that pool donor resources against these standards, and linking of use of the sovereign guarantee to a government's meeting those standards. GEMAP in Liberia provides one example. 3. A set of National Programs should be designed and launched through a partnership of government, civil society and international oversight, whereby the ministry provides the policy framework; the trust fund and / or domestic revenue provides the funding flow; monitoring and oversight by the civil service in partnership with international representatives; and implementation by the combination of communities, private sector, NGOs and civil service appropriate to the context and the available UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769410 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769410 Date: 08/31/2015 capacities.

Establish regular reporting on activities to representative organisations however constituted through domestic political processes (inclusive of all regions and social groups). 5. A consortium of Private businesses could be established to link investment to meeting of Accountability standards. 6. As a country develops capacity to raise revenues to replace external aid the shared responsibility with donors can pass to shared responsibility between the state and its citizens (through parliamentary committees and the like), while states developed also shared responsibility in their regions.

Considerations of equity demand that a minimum provision be available to all citizens regardless of ability to pay. But if provision is through non-market mechanisms how are resources to be allocated and what are the incentives for effort? There is no universally ideal organizational solution to these problems and approaches differ considerably between countries. African governments inherited a common model of public service provision from colonial times. That model was rooted in how British and French governments were themselves providing public services during the 1950s. For the following half-century African governments struggled to make this model work. In many of them, and most particularly in those with the social stresses associated with being post-conflict, that model has proved to be inappropriate. It is high time to try delivery systems which are better suited to the local context. The Inherited Model The 1950s European model was for a government ministry to take responsibility for an entire service, such as health or education. Such ministries combined the potentially distinct functions of planning, resource allocation, on-the-ground service delivery, and evaluation. Further, they held a national monopoly over the provision of the service. African governments tended to assume that this was the appropriate way for a developed society to deliver public services, so that it was the system to which they should aspire. In fact, in many respects this organizational approach was not an encompassing model for a developed society, but was rooted in its highly unusual time, namely the aftermath of the Second World War. One legacy of the war was a belief in planning. In wartime Britain national planning had been successful and it was now applied to the problem of service delivery. Delivering social services through centralized planning requires information: the war had taught the civil service how to gather and marshal it for military objectives and initially this worked well for service provision. Another legacy of the war was a strong sense of nationhood and public-spiritedness. This spirit resolved the problem of motivating public sector workers: they had internalized the norms of serving the society and so did not need either close monitoring or large financial incentives. The combination of information-guided central planning and a motivated workforce was highly costeffective. In ideal conditions the European model of the 1950s is by far the most cost-effective system. Both post-war Britain and modern Scandinavia met these conditions. Scandinavia combines a self-motivated public sector workforce with a comprehensive system of centralized social information. But these advantages are underpinned by an unusually homogenous population with a strong sense of national identity and a belief in social equity. In Britain, neither aspect of the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 system proved to be sustainable. Gradually, the helpful norms of public sector workers eroded. For example, after three decades British nurses abandoned their policy of not threatening to strike. As service delivery became more complex, it became more information-intensive and so less much more demanding for the command-and-control approach that had worked well for military objectives. As conditions became less suited to the 1950s model it became unwieldy. Ministries grew far beyond the size originally envisaged: for example, the National Health Service became the largest employer in Europe. In response, reliance upon self-motivation through internalized norms has gradually been replaced through ad hoc reforms by increasingly detailed targets combined with high levels of pay. The system of central planning has been partially replaced by resource allocation that is guided by simulated 'internal' markets. Why the Inherited Model is often unsuited to Fragile States Fragile states are far removed from the conditions in which the 1950s European model works well. Public sector employees have long ceased to internalize the norms of public-spiritedness. Further, social information is neither detailed nor up-to-date. Unfortunately, in the absence of these conditions the model works extremely badly. Most workers are not self-motivated to serve the public interest but the system lacks the means either to rebuild the norms of public service, or to motivate workers with financial incentives. Prevailing norms of public service In the fragile states the prevailing norms of public sector workers are radically different from those in Scandinavia. People are more heterogeneous and conflicted and so have a weaker sense of the national public interest. Shirking, as instanced by high rates of absenteeism, is common, as is minor corruption. Often the collapse in the norm of public service was due to the erosion in salaries. If public sector workers are not paid enough to live then they have no choice but to abuse their positions for personal gain. However, once the new norms of self-interest become established they become very difficult to change: the new pattern of behaviour is an equilibrium in which the conduct of each worker is rational given the expected conduct of other workers. Prevailing dysfunctional norms are thereby collectively self-reinforcing. For example, many public service jobs depend upon teams so that the return to individual effort depends upon that of others. Individually each worker is locked into prevailing norms unless there is a credible reason to believe that the norms of other workers have changed. Large and coordinated changes in norms of work among staff are very difficult for management to achieve. Simply reversing the salary decline is unlikely to restore the norms of public service. The more likely outcome is that what was a badly performing but low-cost delivery system is replaced by a badly performing but more expensive delivery system. Dysfunctional norms are passed on between generations of public sector workers. By its nature public service tends to attract young people with a degree of idealism. For example, survey evidence from Ethiopia shows that newly trained nurses enter the profession with a strong sense UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 of public spiritedness. However, once placed into clinics where the prevailing norm is selfinterest over the next three years their initial public-spiritedness is replaced by the dysfunctional norms of their elders. Hence, the current model of service delivery is repeatedly destroying the asset of self-motivation in the young workforce. Limited Alternatives to Self-Motivation Even if workers have not internalized the norms of the organization, it may nevertheless be possible to motivate them to good performance by means of financial incentives. However, the 1950s European model is ill-suited to this approach. Being within the civil service, the range of financial rewards and penalties that can be deployed is extremely limited. Virtually everywhere civil servants have very strong job security so that the threat of dismissal is not credible. Demotion is very rare and constrained by cumbersome systems of appeal. Hence, the only scope for incentives is through rewards. Even here the civil service is heavily constrained by the need for perceived equity among staff and pay scales that are tied to seniority, age, and rank. In postconflict conditions these generic problems of discretionary rewards and penalties for civil servants are further complicated by the history of conflict. In the contest for control of the state, public sector employment comes to be regarded not merely as an input into service delivery, but as a valued prize in itself. This leaves a legacy of pervasive suspicions that discretionary rewards reflect patronage and favour rather than performance. The post-conflict imperative of achieving perceived equity in public employment between rival political factions may make performancerelated incentives infeasible. Even where incentives are politically feasible, they can only be effective to the extent that they can be linked to observable aspects of performance. Yet in post-conflict conditions the information needed to assess performance on public service delivery is simply not being generated. This is partly due to the larger problems endemic to post-conflict situations such as broken local administrations. But it is also itself an instance of the incentive problem: if prevailing performance is generally poor, civil servants have an incentive not to collect timely evidence by which it could be measured. Yet the same information that would be needed to measure performance would also be needed for overall resource allocation through central planning to be effective. Starved of information, central planning is blind and an easy prey to crude political pressures. The consequence for service delivery The result is that the same system which in Scandinavia produces the best and most costeffective social services on earth, in African post-conflict conditions produces the worst. Workers are motivated neither by internalized norms of public service, nor by financial incentives. Central planning without information inevitably grossly misallocates resources. As a result services are inevitably very bad.

This produces the very bad, but very inexpensive systems that prevail in the public sector in fragile states. Without question, adequate social provision will require substantially more international funding than has been provided to date. However, the root of the problem is not the lack of funding, but the lack of a delivery system that could productively use enhanced funding. Donor bypass of the state Faced with the overwhelming case for responding to social needs, donors have usually resorted to bypassing the state, channelling finance through NGOs and the UN agencies. This has advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of non-government provision Unlike government provision, non-government provision is not a uniform model and there is considerable variation. Two different approaches can both achieve good organizational performance. One approach, typified by mission-run hospitals and schools, achieves good performance by maintaining a high level of organizational commitment on the part of its workers. Given the high intrinsic satisfaction from activities such as healing the sick and teaching children, and the highly visible needs in post-conflict societies, it is possible to create islands of self-motivation even where in the public sector norms of service have collapsed. The other approach, typified by some for-profit organizations, achieves good performance by solving the difficult problem of linking financial incentives to observable performance. In many aspects of service delivery individual performance is not readily observable and so effective monitoring is difficult. The two approaches are not easily combined and so tend to be alternatives. Norms of self-motivation, or working for the common good, thrive on trust and equity among staff. In contrast, the essence of addressing motivation by means of financial incentives is that trust is replaced by monitoring, and equity is replaced by income differences based on differential performance. Field evidence suggests that where strong financial incentives are introduced into service delivery organizations norms of service and worker cohesion are undermined. According to the type of service, the local context, and the personal characteristics of managers, either approach can be more effective. However, while some non-government organizations solve the service delivery problem by one or other of the above approaches, others fail. Some rely upon trust but have unmotivated staff; others rely on financial incentives but monitor aspects of behaviour which are not sufficiently related to performance. Hence, donors cannot tell simply by observing the type of organization whether it is efficient. The implication is that by bypassing the state donors will sometimes be financing organizations that are considerably more efficient, but that there will be considerable variation. Disadvantages of bypassing the state UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 The most obvious drawback of donors bypassing the state is that, while unsustainable, it does not lead to an exit strategy. The bypass of the state does not build state capacity and may further undermine it. Yet it is acknowledged that the complete bypass cannot itself be the long-term solution to service delivery. If the state is not involved in providing basic services to citizens it will be very difficult for it to establish a claim to legitimacy in the eyes of its citizens. The total bypass has a further serious drawback which donors are less willing to recognize: the lack of coordination and continuity. The services funded by donors are usually localized and often specific to a particular aspect of service delivery. Given this approach there is no systematic scope for a nation-wide and sector-wide approach to resource allocation. Donor financing of any particular service provider is likely to be temporary. Field staff are typically rotated every three years and the priorities of individual donors change as ministers change. Given the natural human inclination to make a difference, this is a recipe for continuous turmoil. However, the most serious drawback is the lack of accountability to the ordinary people who are the users of services. Generically, there are two mechanisms for such accountability: political and commercial. By definition, as a result of the donor bypass of the state, political accountability to users is not possible. The alternative of commercial accountability is dependent upon donor financing of service providing agencies being conditional upon their observed performance. However, other than for the most rudimentary aspects of performance, donors lack the monitoring capacity with which to hold agencies to. account. Public Service Authorities An alternative to the 1950s model of the monopoly government ministry and the total bypass of the state is to unbundle the functions that in the 1950s model are all performed by a single ministry. Some of these functions are intrinsic to the responsibilities that a state should undertake. For other functions the state can achieve its objectives better by purchasing the function from other providers. Even in the most centralized and efficient of European states this approach is now standard: for example, in France both blood-testing and ambulance services are financed publicly but provided privately. A Public Service Authority (PSA) is a design of public service delivery which may be particularly appropriate for post-conflict conditions. It need not be merely a temporary measure: it may evolve into a permanent organization much as Independent Revenue Authorities have become permanent in many fragile states. Although all PSAs have some core features in common, they can take many different forms. For example, at one extreme a single PSA could have a national mandate for many different types of service, while at the other, each district might have several PSAs, one for each type of service. Such choices should vary country-bycountry, according to local capacity. Here I focus on the core principles of a PSA rather than on such choices. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 A PSA is a public agency: it is an implementing agency of government but is independent of the civil service, analogous to central banks and revenue authorities. While it is an agency of government, its board of directors can include a minority of non-government appointees. In postconflict conditions these should include the main donor agencies and key components of civil society. The primary purpose of such representation is to provide equal and unrestricted access to information on the decisions and performance of the PSA for government, donors and civil society. As a result, a PSA is structurally transparent. The government ministries responsible for service provision have representation on the board of the PSA and set policy guidelines by which the PSA must operate. For example, they may set minimum standards of provision, and require the PSA to allocate resources so as to ensure geographic equity. Ministries will also continue to provide state services directly. Since in postconflict conditions service provision is invariably inadequate, the PSA should constitute an expansion in provision not a change in the management of existing services. Over time, if the PSA-provided services proved to be better value that those directly provided by the ministries then it would be a matter for the government to decide whether to reorganize the directly provided services. A PSA receives funds from donors and government for the purchase of services from primary providers. Since the PSA is an implementing agency of government, the money allocated to the PSA, including that from donors, appears in the government budget as an expenditure. Hence, donor funding of services through the PSA is somewhat analogous to ring-fenced budget support. The PSA enters into contracts with primary service providing agencies but does not provide services directly. This avoids a conflict of interest and focuses the PSA exclusively on negotiating and monitoring the performance of the primary providers. These providers can be NG0s, local communities, local governments, or private for-profit organizations. Ideally, the PSA will experiment with multiple channels of provision for the same service to maximize the scope for variation in performance. The PSA devotes most of its resources to monitoring performance and comparing it. The evidence on comparative performance is provided to the board of the PSA on a regular basis. The board uses this information to reallocate resources from less-efficient providers to moreefficient providers. The PSA can also experiment with distributing vouchers to households rather than money to service providers. This reduces the need for monitoring of performance but introduces other problems. To take a trivial example, in health care the prescription of glucose will produce a short-term improvement in the patient without addressing the causes of the illness. Users can easily misinterpret this effect as indicating that they need repeated treatment rather than different treatment. Hence, in the absence of good ethical standards among practitioners in this instance UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 vouchers could be dysfunctional. More generally, the balance of whether service providers are more effectively monitored by professions or by users will vary according to type of service and local context and is best determined by experiment. Why a PSA should improve service delivery A PSA is a design that is based on modern economic principles and the evidence from fieldwork (see Bold, Collier and Zeitlin (2009) for a discussion of how a PSA fits with theory and evidence). This does not guarantee that it is appropriate, but there are clear reasons to expect it to work considerably better than either the 1950s model or the donor bypass. Variation, competition and selection A PSA builds in variation in approaches to service delivery: different providers will be attempting to solve the problem worker motivation in different ways. Since the core function of the PSA is to evaluate these different approaches it enables gradual improvement in overall efficiency. The increase in efficiency comes about through two different mechanisms. The most obvious is through the awareness of competition acting as a disciplining device on providers. Through this mechanism, the performance of the typical service provider might be expected to improve. However, this is probably not the most important. The more important mechanism is that resources can gradually be reallocated from inefficient providers to efficient providers. Since the variation in efficiency between different providers is likely to be considerable, simply by reallocating money between them the PSA can raise the efficiency of the average dollar spent on service provision. Note that this does not depend upon any improvement in efficiency in each organization. Branding Unlike the donor bypass of the state, with a PSA donor money is routed through a state organization. A condition of for a non-government service provider receiving money from the PSA should be that the services delivered are co-branded by government. While the visibility of donor operations is reduced, that of government is increased. Ordinary citizens are able to see that the government is doing something that is beneficial. Scaling up because of donor confidence By design, the PSA generates information on the performance of the organizations that it funds, and hence on its own performance. Since donors are represented on the management board of the PSA they have full access to this information. Transparency of information for donors is crucial in post-conflict conditions to enable donors to scale up financing beyond the immediate postconflict period. During the first few years donors give governments are the benefit of the doubt, but this rapidly erodes. In its place governments need rapidly to build donor confidence. This UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 cannot be done either by declarations or by comprehensive improvements in governance. Declarations of good practice can be made equally well by those governments that have no intention of adhering to them and so, despite a deceptively courteous reception, cut no ice with donors. Comprehensive improvements in governance simply take too long to achieve to stave of reductions in donor funding. A PSA provides a quick institutional solution to the problem of building credibility with donors: transparency and design substitute for the lack of trust. As quantitative evidence of performance builds up, the local offices of donor agencies are in a much stronger position to press their headquarters for a larger share of the budget. Centralized resource allocation The PSA retains the key benefit of central planning: resource allocation can be coordinated rather than being simply the aggregation of individual donor decisions. Further, since the PSA is designed to generate information, the precondition for central planning to be effective is met. However, while overall resource allocation is centrally determined, the incentive problem is not micro-managed. The PSA does not attempt to motivate or monitor the workers who deliver services. That task is decentralized to individual service providers to solve as best they can. The PSA faces the less daunting task of monitoring the overall performance of each delivery organization. Motivating the PSA The Board of the PSA faces the task of motivating the staff of the PSA. Why might this be any easier than the task of motivating civil servants in the service delivery ministries? In part it is easier because, being a new organization outside the civil service the PSA can start with higher pay structures that are credibly linked to rewards and penalties. Recruits have some reason to expect that the behaviour of their colleagues will not be the same as civil service behaviour. Perhaps more importantly, the remit of the PSA is more narrowly defined than the remit of a ministry. It is not trying to do everything from policy design to on-the-ground delivery of services. It is allocating money between providers and evaluating their performance. Finally, it is subject to day-to-day scrutiny by donors and civil society who as members of the management board receive a continuous flow of information about the performance of managers. How can a PSA be established? A PSA does not need to start with a 'big bang'. It can start small, with one or two donors cooperating with a particular government ministry to finance an expansion in the delivery of a particular service. It should be viewed as an experiment in the architecture of public service delivery. As an experiment it should be evaluated, but, by design, such evaluation is automatic. If it succeeds it can be scaled up virtually without limit. Ultimately, the government might decide that the PSA, or a series of PSAs, is the most cost-effective and politically effective way of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769411 Date: 08/31/2015 delivering services for the society. If it fails then it can readily be closed: donors are used to running projects which terminate. Nor is failure likely to have high costs. Unfortunately, in there is currently no successful model of large scale service delivery in post-conflict conditions, so that the opportunity cost of failure is likely to be modest. Conclusion Post-conflict societies have been attempting to deliver basic services using an inherited colonial model that has little prospect of success in the context of their own societies. Given the acute needs of their citizens, it is high time for governments to experiment with other designs. The key desiderata are that a new system should be capable of being rapidly scaled up, while leading to something that is politically sustainable. A PSA is not as good as the 1950s model when that model is deployed in ideal conditions. However, based on theory and evidence, it is likely to be more successful than the centralized ministerial approach in the conditions that actually prevail in post-conflict societies. Given the enormous attention that post-conflict societies and other fragile states are now rightly receiving, there is a strong case for experimenting with the PSA design on a pilot basis.

They wanted the Bank to assume fiduciary responsibilities for the funds in a high-risk environment, and also to take a lead in ensuring that the funds go to prioritized activities. • Develop an outreach strategy: The Aceh MDF Secretariat developed an Outreach Strategy that includes regular radio talk shows, field visits to meet and discuss with beneficiaries, and communication through advertisements as well as a telephone hotline. • Engage the government in dialogue: The Aceh MDF received praise for engaging the GoI in policy dialogue. The MDF was an entry point for engaging on conditions for sustainability, relevance and impact. • Appointment on Envoy: The appointment of a high-profile UN Special Envoy (former President Clinton) increased the availability of funding and willingness of international agencies to try new approaches. It also could provide one forum for coordination among donors, if the Envoy's office is adequately supported. • Disaster prevention: The tsunami underscored the critical role of disaster prevention in "building back better." It is difficult to overemphasize the importance of embedding risk reduction into recovery, especially in Haiti, where natural disasters have caused enormous human suffering.

It is important to develop effective coordinating mechanisms and work to ensure that agencies bring actual expertise to the country, reduce turnover of international staff, and seek staff with appropriate language skills. • Authoritative Assessment: Authoritative joint assessments involving the UN, the Red Cross, and national governments could have a beneficial impact on the decision making process and ensure broad buy-in.

They wanted the Bank to assume fiduciary responsibilities for the funds in a high-risk environment, and also to take a lead in ensuring that the funds go to prioritized activities. • Develop an outreach strategy: The Aceh MDF Secretariat developed an Outreach Strategy that includes regular radio talk shows, field visits to meet and discuss with beneficiaries, and communication through advertisements as well as a telephone hotline. • Engage the government in dialogue: The Aceh MDF received praise for engaging the GoI in policy dialogue. The MDF was an entry point for engaging on conditions for sustainability, relevance and impact. • Appointment on Envoy: The appointment of a high-profile UN Special Envoy (former President Clinton) increased the availability of funding SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED -3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769420 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769420 Date: 08/31/2015 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED and willingness of international agencies to try new approaches. It also could provide one forum for coordination among donors, if the Envoy's office is adequately supported. • Disaster prevention: The tsunami underscored the critical role of disaster prevention in "building back better." It is difficult to overemphasize the importance of embedding risk reduction into recovery, especially in Haiti, where natural disasters have caused enormous human suffering. • Coordinate proliferating aid agencies: Large numbers of both public and private aid agencies are likely be active in Haiti for some time. It is important to develop effective coordinating mechanisms and work to ensure that agencies bring actual expertise to the country, reduce turnover of international staff, and seek staff with appropriate language skills. • Authoritative Assessment: Authoritative joint assessments involving the UN, the Red Cross, and national governments could have a beneficial impact on the decision making process and ensure broad buy-in.

It is a good summation of concerns and prospects. - Bob Beyond the Earthquake: A Wake-Up Call for Haiti Alex Dupuy Department of Sociology Wesleyan University Middletown, CT 06457 Long before the powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake (and several aftershocks) struck Haiti on January 12 and leveled the metropolitan capital city of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas, that city was already a disaster waiting to happen. With a population of more than 2 million in a city whose infrastructure could at best sustain a population of 100,000, the local and national public administrations simply abandoned the city to itself. Neither provided meaningful services of any kind-schools, healthcare, electricity, potable water, sanitation, zoning and construction regulations-and what they did provide was poorly administered, or primarily served the needs of the wealthier or better off sectors of the population who could afford to pay for them. Consider, for example, that only about 28 percent of Haitians have access to health care, 50 percent have access to potable water, and 10 percent have electrical services. In short, the Haitian state-i.e., the government-long ago abdicated its responsibilities to the majority of Haitian citizens, and at least since the Duvalier era, deferred to bilateral and multilateral aid donors, non-governmental agencies (NG0s) to provide services to the population. More NGOs per capita operate in Haiti than in any other country in the world, and they provide 70 percent of healthcare in rural areas and 80 percent of public services. This, in turn, has led to an extreme laissez alter and the near total privatization of all basic services. Except for a brief seven month attempt in 1991 that ended in a bloody coup d'etat against the democratically elected government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the turn to democratic governance has not changed that basic reality. It is therefore no accident that while the earthquake caused death and destruction among all social classes, the high death toll-estimates run from as low as 10,000 to a high of 200,000 so far, which means no one really knows-is also a direct consequence of the poor infrastructure, inferior housing construction, and the long-standing disregard for the basic needs and rights of the population. What's more, geologists had warned the government of the probability of a seismic eruption for years, but as with previous massive destructions and loss of lives caused by hurricanes and tropical storms, the government took no UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769425 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769425 Date: 08/31/2015 measures to prepare for that possibility. It comes as no surprise, then, that the Haitian people have to rely entirely on the international community to come to its rescue. This would have been the case even if the symbols of government authority-the National Palace, the Parliament, the headquarters of the National Police, and other ministries-had not been destroyed for the simple reason that the capacity of the Haitian state to respond to a crisis of this magnitude-or even to less severe ones-is non existent due primarily to shortsighted practices and policies-political, economic, and social-that prioritized the interests of the few-the 4 percent of the population who hold 66 percent of total assets and the 1 percent who appropriate 55 percent of the national income-at the expense of the 75 percent of the population who live on less than $2/day and the more than half who live on less than $1/clay. There is no doubt that the dominant economic and political classes of Haiti bear great responsibility for the abysmal conditions in the country that exacerbated the impact of the earthquake (or of hurricanes or tropical storms). However, these local actors did not create these conditions alone but did so in close partnership with foreign governments and economic actors with long-standing interests in Haiti, principally those of the advanced countries-the United States, Canada, and France-and their international financial institutions (IF1s)-the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank. Since the 1970s and under various free market mantras, these international actors and institutions sought to and succeeded in transforming Haiti into a supplier of the cheapest labor in this hemisphere for foreign and domestic investors in the export assembly industry; in dismantling all obstacles to free trade; in privatizing public enterprises; and in weakening further the institutions of the state through policies that reinforced Haiti's dependence on foreign aid organizations-governmental and non-governmental. These policies had drastic consequences for the Haitian economy. Locating the assembly industries primarily in Port-auPrince encouraged migration from the rural areas to the capital city, contributed to its bloated population and sprawling squalor, and provided a never ending supply of cheap labor for those industries. At the same time, removing tariffs on food imports were detrimental to Haitian agriculture. Whereas in the 1970s Haiti produced most of the rice it consumed and imported only 10 percent of its food needs, by the end of the 1990s it was importing more than 42 percent of its food needs, had become the highest per capita consumer of subsidized US imported rice in the Western Hemisphere, and the largest importer of foodstuffs from the US in the Caribbean. Thus, US farmers benefitted at the expense of Haitian producers. These policies, too, propelled rural-to-urban migration, with Port-au-Prince as the primary destination, as well as emigration to the neighboring Dominican Republic, the Caribbean, and North America. Haiti is becoming increasingly dependent on remittances from its immigrants, which now represent 35 percent of Haiti's GDP. What, then, is to be done? The response of the international community-from governments, the UN, and NGOs around the world-for medical treatment, food, water, temporary shelter, and road and communication repairs-has been immediate and massive, but will need to be sustained for a longer time span if it is to help Haiti recover economically in the short and medium term. Pressure is also mounting on bilateral and multilateral aid donors to cancel Haiti's debt of some $1.15 billion. But to be effective and long lasting, future aid must be unconditional and be given more in the form of grants than loans. To that end, the Haitian people need to rethink how the country relates to the international community, in particular the major powers and the IFIs. Basically, I would argue, Haiti needs to break with the policies advocated by the major powers and IFIs that have proved disastrous for the Haitian economy. These policies are predicated on the belief that Haiti can develop only if it remains open to the world market, relies on its comparative advantage of low-cost labor to attract foreign investments in the export assembly industry, and prioritizes the production of selected agricultural goods, such as mangoes, for export. Despite the failure of these policies to generate sustainable development, reduce unemployment and improve the standard of living of the majority of Haitians, the major powers and IFIs continue to advocate them as the solution to Haiti's chronic underdevelopment and poverty. This is shown, for example, by the report written by former World Bank economist Paul Collier for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in 2008, and the latter's appointment of former US President Bill Clinton to spearhead that strategy in Haiti. Ignoring the evidence of the last 38 years, Collier's report calls for establishing a cluster of free trade zones for garment production beyond the two that currently exist in Port-au-Prince and Ouanaminthe, and creating such zones for the production and export of mangoes.

As it did in 1990, an agenda for change would need to include the following: 1. Reject all the different versions of the structural adjustment policies of the IFIs that require that Haiti remove tariffs on food and other imports, privatize public enterprises, exempt foreign investors from taxes on their profits in the assembly industries, and curb social spending. Haiti could instead negotiate bilateral or multilateral agreements with those countries that are willing to provide aid without tying them to the implementation of specific economic or social policies. 2. Launch an immediate large-scale and national public works project to rebuild or expand Haiti's infrastructure, communication, transportation, public schools, public health facilities, and public housing. Here, too, Haiti could rely on bilateral or multilateral agreements to sustain this effort beyond the immediate post-crisis reconstruction now underway with foreign assistance that will focus primarily on the quake-ravaged areas. 3. Prioritize Haiti's food security and sovereignty by launching an agrarian reform, and subsidizing production for the local market as well as for export. 4. Promote the development of local and national agro-industries that use domestic inputs to produce consumer and durable goods; and support the national handicraft industry and promote its expansion on the international market. 5. Protect workers' rights, such as the right to form trade unions and the right to strike, and provide a living wage to all workers, especially in the export assembly industries. It is obvious that these goals cannot be implemented all at once or immediately. But they must serve as the basis for a large scale popular mobilization to hold the elected representatives of the people to account and to renegotiate Haiti's relations with the international community.

I thought Collier's earlier idea of an Independent Service Authority was interesting as long as it was transitional (toward a strengthened GOH) and had GOH authority from the get go. I like your idea. At this point a reconstruction authority with Bellefive at its head makes sense. I like your idea of a donor's coordination mechanism that I saw in your policy review powerpoint, with coordination on 'our' side under the UN Special Envoy mechanism. Maybe within the authority, there can be a private sector sub-group coordinated and monitored by the larger authority? This sub-group might also include non-Haitians, including Dominicans. Haiti's private sector will be less interested in decentralized investment, I think, especially if it focuses on intensive labor and providing dignity and liveable wages to Haiti's people. This is a public works/public sector initiative, in conjunction with international public sector organizations. Sachs idea of the decentralized growth poles is also interesting - perhaps a way to mobilize decentralized investment.

I agree with concerns below. The cementing of the monopoly by Preval for the public container port is a prime example how elite capture runs directly counter to job creation and social welfare. Assets (land, heavy equipment, cement, petroleum) that are in high demand during a construction boom are in the hands of a few. The risk is that price spikes will severely drive out the potential gains from aid dollars. Dual signatures and injecting foreign experts into a HRA task force to review projects for eligibility will counteract obvious forms of corruption. The much harder task is to determine realistic benchmarks for project costs, given transfer pricing and de facto cartels. Injecting competition and open bidding is needed to counteract this. The problem is that any Haitian firm will loose business to US or Chinese contractors with much more favorable pricing structures (but limited spillovers to local economy). A middle ground may be to invite joint ventures between Haitian and international companies to build up the local workforce and overall skill base.

In fact, these may have been even more damaging to America's future. He fought to reinstate Honduras's pro-Chavez president while stalling Colombia's favored-trade status. He castigated Israel at the United Nations but was silent about Hamas having launched 7,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip. His policy of "engagement" with rogue nations has been met with North Korean nuclear tests, missile launches and the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel, while Iran has accelerated its nuclear program, funded terrorists and armed Hezbollah with long-range missiles. He acceded to Russia's No. 1 foreign policy objective, the abandonment of our Europe-based missile defense program, and obtained nothing whatsoever in return. Despite all of this, the president's New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New-START) with Russia could be his worst foreign policy mistake yet. The treaty as submitted to the Senate should not be ratified. New-START impedes missile defense, our protection from nuclear-proliferating rogue states such as Iran and North Korea. Its preamble links strategic defense with strategic arsenal. It explicitly forbids the United States from converting intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) silos into missile defense sites. And Russia has expressly reserved the right to walk away from the treaty if it believes that the United States has significantly increased its missile defense capability. Hence, to preserve the treaty's restrictions on Russia, America must effectively get Russia's permission for any missile defense expansion. Moscow's vehemence over our modest plans in Eastern Europe demonstrate that such permission would be extremely unlikely. The treaty empowers a Bilateral Consultative Commission with broad latitude to amend the treaty with specific reference to missile defense. New START does something the American public would never countenance and the Senate should never permit: It jeopardizes our missile defense system. The treaty also gives far more to the Russians than to the United States. As drafted, it lets Russia escape the limit on its number of strategic nuclear warheads. Loopholes and lapses -- presumably carefully crafted by Moscow — provide a path to entirely avoid the advertised warhead-reduction targets. For example, rail-based ICBMs and launchers are not mentioned. Similarly, multiple nuclear warheads that are mounted on bombers are effectively not counted. Unlike past treaty restrictions, ICBMs are not prohibited from bombers. This means that Russia is free to mount a nearly unlimited number of ICBMs on bombers -- including MIRVs (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles) or multiple UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769454 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769454 Date: 08/31/2015 warheads -- without tripping the treaty's limits. These omissions would be consistent with Russia's plans for a new heavy bomber and reports of growing interest in rail-mobile ICBMs. Under New START, the United States must drastically reduce our number of launchers but Russia will not -- it already has fewer launchers than the treaty limits. Put another way: We give, Russia gets. And more troubling, the treaty fails to apply the MIRV limits that were part of the prior START treaty. Again, it may not be coincidental that Russia is developing a new heavy-load -- meaning MIRV-capable -- ICBM. New-START gives Russia a massive nuclear weapon advantage over the United States. The treaty ignores tactical nuclear weapons, where Russia outnumbers us by as much as 10 to 1. Obama heralds a reduction in strategic weapons from approximately 2,200 to 1,550 but fails to mention that Russia will retain more than 10,000 nuclear warheads that are categorized as tactical because they are mounted on missiles that cannot reach the United States. But surely they can reach our allies, nations that depend on us for a nuclear umbrella. And who can know how those tactical nuclear warheads might be reconfigured? Astonishingly, while excusing tactical nukes from the treaty, the Obama administration bows to Russia's insistence that conventional weapons mounted on ICBMs are counted under the treaty's warhead and launcher limits. By all indications, the Obama administration has been badly out-negotiated. Perhaps the president's eagerness for global disarmament led his team to accede to Russia's demands, or perhaps it led to a document that was less than carefully drafted. Whatever the reason for the treaty's failings, it must not be ratified: The security of the United States is at stake. The only responsible course is for the Senate to demand and scrutinize the full diplomatic record underlying the treaty. Then it must insist that any linkage between the treaty and our missile defense system be eliminated. In a world where nuclear weapons are proliferating, America's missile defense shield must not be compromised. As currently drafted, New START is a non-starter.

"Let's get rid of the freeze and get back to building," declared Israeli Minister of Public Affairs and the Diaspora Yuli Edelstein on Israel National Radio yesterday. "It's our land anyway!" (Edelstein lives in the settlement of Neve Daniel). Back in the US, the former Israel lobbyist and ex-Clinton Assistant Secretary of State Martin Indyk took to the Washington Post's op-ed page to praise Netanyahu and Barack Obama for ensuring that "there were zero building starts in the West Bank settlements." During the week of June 21, I traveled through the West Bank with Swedish photojournalist Linda Forsell to document new settlement construction and the settlers' theft of water from Palestinian towns. Forsell took a series of photos at Har Homa, a massive Israeli settlement towering over the Palestinian town of Beit Sarhour. Her photos show ongoing construction of hundreds of new settlement units — documents of the settlement freeze sham. 0 Netanyahu authorized the building of new settlement units just days after he announced the freeze in November 2009. He attempted to disguise new settlement construction by drawing a false distinction between the West Bank and "parts of Jerusalem" like Har Homa that actually lie outside 1967 lines. As Israeli government flack Mark Regev remarked in December 2009, "We've made a clear distinction between the West Bank and Jerusalem. Jerusalem is our capital and will stay as such." With a few exceptions, Obama allowed this scheme to go forward. According to the Washington Post, Obama's meeting with Netanyahu this week will have more to do with reassuring Jewish Democrats than with halting the wholesale colonization of the West Bank. As the Post's Anne Kornblut reported, "The White House meeting will not dwell on some of the most difficult time-sensitive issues, including the expiration of a UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769461 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769461 Date: 08/31/2015 moratorium on Israeli settlement construction in September." This may mean an end to the settlement freeze, but it was only an illusion after all.

Thx cdm Forwarded message From: Jim Burroway Date: Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 1.1 / ANI Subject: [InsidersOut] Body of Ugandan LGBT volunteer was found beheaded To: InsidersOut( http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/07/05/24020 Ugandan LGBT Advocate Found Beheaded Jim Burroway July 5th, 2010 A reader tipped me to this horrible news. The severed head of a volunteer for Integrity Uganda, the pro-LGBT organization founded by Bishop Christopher Senyonjo, was found in a pit latrine on a farm in Makindye Sabagabo, Wakiso District. Judith Nabakooba, a police spokesperson, identified the head as that of Pasikali Kashusbe, one of the workers on Kigggundu's farm and a member of Integrity Uganda. Pasikali and his partner Abbey are youth workers with Integrity Uganda charged with the responsibility of mobilising young LGBT people in activities which build community capacity to face up to the challenge of homophobia, especially in the area of attitude change and care through drama and sports activities. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769462 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769462 Date: 08/31/2015 According to the police, a mutilated torso which was earlier in the week discovered in Kabuuma Zone, about half a kilometre away from Kiggundu's farm was probably Pasikali's The torso was described as belonging to a young man and had no genitals. Pasikali went missing over three and half weeks ago when the country was celebrating Uganda Martyrs Day. All efforts by his partner Abbey and other family members to find him had been fruitless. Bishop Christopher Senyonjo, Chairperson of Integrity Uganda lamented the murder of this young man as 'absurd' adding that, 'clearly, the values of tolerance and social inclusion are sadly being sacrificed on the altar of state ignorance, ineptness and good old colonial stupidity'. Uganda's Martyr's Day, a national holiday, is a particularly dangerous time for LGBT people. The holiday commemorates the death of several Anglican and Catholic missionaries ordered by the Bugandan King Mwanga II, who felt that foreign religious influences posed a threat to his kingdom. In fact, his fears proved correct; the executions prompted Britain to invade Uganda and turn it into a British colony. Popular lore has it that King Mwanga II, who himself was a teenager, killed the martyrs because they refused his homosexual advances. It is unclear how much of that part of the story is true or how much of it is lore that was reinforced by the British colonial government to discredit the king. The farm where Kashusbe's head was found is reportedly owned by Badru Kiggundu, who is the chairman of Uganda's Electoral Commission. Police found the head while searching for a missing priest, Rev Henry Kayizzi Nsubuga, who disappeared almost two and half weeks ago after delivering a speech at St. Paul's Church in Kanyanya supporting homosexuality in Uganda. The independent television network NTV Uganda posted this video three days ago, but doesn't mention the circumstances which appear to have led to Pasikali's murder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBj1bN3gtnQ Daily Monitor, Uganda's largest newspapers, has a few more sparse details here. In this report, the victim is identified as Paschal Kashushu. Amid conflicting reports, it appears that at at least one man has been arrested, possibly a relative. I'm trying to get more information directly from Uganda. Changing Attitudes has this statement from Rev Erich Kasirye, General Secretary, Integrity Uganda: Pasikali and his partner Abbey joined Integrity Uganda in June 2007 and during the last three years, Integrity Uganda has seen an increase in coordination and harmonisation of youth activities. Pasikali emphasized the promotion of the concept of care across the continuum through the formation of voluntary home care groups for young LGBTIs who continue to live in fear. He will be greatly missed by the entire LGBTI fraternity. As for the missing priest, the only direct news reports that I can find about him appear in the government-owned New Vision. There is no mention of Rev. Nsubuga's sermon. Instead, it appears that relatives are painting the missing priest as mentally "stressed." A report by a reporter from Kamulali Newspaper and re-published on the virulently anti-gay web site Virtue Online provides more hints about the possible link between Rev. Nsubuga's disappearance and his pro-gay sermon. Reminder: This list is an invitation only lists and all posts are OFF THE RECORD.

The basics for Hilary to know are that CNN is covering the entire summer's event I'm doing live. 24-hour training swim off Key West next week-end. The Cuba Swim early August, weather dictating. It's not that I've been flat turned down by the State Dept. But I have been told I won't be approved this summer warm water, my training, all of it....there's no other time I can or will do it. It's going to be a terribly upbeat story to follow (in CLEAN ocean just nearby the oil spill), it's going to be an embraced strong message to redefine middle age as strong and relevant, to see a 60-year old swim 103 miles and walk up onto the shores of her own country. I have been told by lawyers within Treasury that it will take either Hilary Clinton or Obama himself to clear my event. I know somebody has the power to green light in an hour's time, if I can just get to the right person. . Please know that I wouldn't interrupt either your or Hilary's precious holiday week-end if I hadn't committed a year of hardship training to this and now involved many good people in the adventure. I just can't let this dream slip away because I can't get into Cuba with State Dept approval. Here is the Schultz doc below. And next I'm going to send you a link to a short promo video. Thanks so very, very much, diana DIANA NYAD CUBA SWIM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the end of July, 2010, just a month from now, I will attempt to become the first person in history to swim the 103 miles from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage. In 1978, I swam out of Havana into a raging sea. 41hrs, 49mins later, it was not to be. I'm 60 now. This time, when I do walk up onto the Florida shore, I will send a loud message to all the millions my age that 60 is not irrelevant, that we are still strong, vital, vibrant individuals, that our best days are not by any means all behind us. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769467 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769467 Date: 08/31/2015 For 30 years, I hadn't swum a stroke. I valued physical fitness to an extreme degree, but just hadn't swum at all for 30 years. And now this past year's training is done. It has been intense. Many, many 10, 12, 15 hour swims in the Caribbean. Grueling tests of both body and spirit. But I was naive to think the training would be the tough part. I am feeling strong and confident. But the government permissions for me to walk off the Cuban shore are keeping me from my Dream. I first went to the Cuban Interest Section and was told the Cubans would eagerly welcome my event. They remember my first attempt and I have been back many times for clinics and such. But they said I would definitely need to first have approval from the State Department. I was told there that it is a sensitive time politically, that both Obama and Hilary Clinton are very much pro-embargo and it would take perhaps a year to procure State Department clearance. On advice from three lawyers from Sonnenschein in D.C., I was told that it would take a direct green light from Hilary herself to get this expedition cleared. Because I have been stymied by Treasury and the State Dept, I let the Cuban Interest Section permissions go so now I don't have permissions from their end, either. I am going to make one last attempt to get this done legally by contacting Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Perhaps in light of a positive story vis a vis Florida Tourism....there is beautifully clean water, not far from the oil disaster and the heroic message of a 60-year-old swimming 100 miles and walking up onto the shores of her own country, her own home state, Congresswoman Schultz could champion the project into full legal status, from both the Cuban and the State Department sides. CNN is the exclusive broadcast coverer of my swim. I am just tonight on the front page of CNN.com. There will no doubt be much positive news to come from this story...and to Florida....throughout my endeavor. I will do a 24-hour training swim off Key West the week-end of July 10-11. CNN will cover live. And then the hope is to go over to Havana on July 23 (or wait at a training camp in Key West starting on July 23) and then get the Cuba swim started whenever Mother Nature gives us a forecast of calm seas.

Below is some brief information on the proposal, which was made by Saudi Arabia: The proposal made by the then crown prince (now king) in Feb. 2005 called for the establishment of an international counterterrorism center "under the auspices of the UN." The purpose of the organization would be to, among other things, "develop a mechanism for exchanging information and expertise between States" on a wide range of nonmilitary counterterrorism issues, encourage the establishment of national and regional centers, and provide assistance to developing countries to deal with crises and terrorist acts. The center, as conceived in 2005, would also allow national counterterrorism coordinators from different countries and regions to meet and share information and experiences. This proposal was endorsed by the OIC (and OIC countries reaffirm their support for the center each year at the UNGA), but has never received any serious consideration within the UN by non-OIC members. The Saudis continue to be interested in implementing the proposal. Most significantly, recently there have been discussions between the UN and Saudis as to how their proposal could be married with efforts to enhance the UN's capacity to support implementation of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy by allowing the UN Counter-Terrorism Task Force (CTITF) Office and the different CTITF member entities to engage more actively and directly with CT experts/practitioners in capitals and have multilateral CT consultations wherever necessary. But S/CT mentioned that, if we were to move forward on S/CT's CFO idea, we would hope to work closely with the Saudis. Please let me know if you would like any further info. Thanks, Mike Michael H.

Are the Mideast Policy Team! by Leslie H. Gelb July 7, 2010 I 2:38pm I ri==IPresident Barack Obama meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office of the White House, July 6, 2010. (Gary Fabiano / Sipa Press) Obama's bow to Netanyahu was just the latest in a series of disastrous missteps in U.S. policy toward Israel. Leslie H. Gelb on who's to blame—and how the White House can get back on course. Whoever advised President Obama to flay Israel publicly until this week should be fired. Only advisers with no experience in dealing with Israel could have believed that Israeli leaders like Prime Minister Netanyahu would bow to public attacks. And whoever advised Mr. Obama to kneel rhetorically to Mr. Netanyahu in public on Tuesday should also be fired. The only thing accomplished by this embarrassing tactic was to put Israel in a position to call the shots on Mideast policy for the rest of Obama's first term. The real enemy of a negotiated settlement in the Mideast is not time; it's failure. Were the culprits the non-foreign policy White House intimates — chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and political honcho David Axelrod? Axelrod knows nothing about this, and worse, Emanuel thinks he does because he lived in Israel. Was George Mitchell, the president's Mideast negotiator, the brains behind the foolishness? Surely, he's had enough experience working with Israelis to know better. Did General James Jones, the National Security Adviser, remain silent, again? And of course, where was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? Strangely for someone so adept at pleasing Israel's constituents in America, she spent a lot of time this past year publicly beating up on Israeli leaders. Has she been led astray by the proArab contingent of the State Department? • Martin Indyk: New Hope for Mideast Peace • Peter Beinart: Netanyahu's Latest Insult Or is the guilty party none other than President Obama himself? The more we find out about who makes decisions in the White House on every subject from nuclear weapons to coloring of Easter eggs, it turns out to be the man in the Oval Office himself. He's the expert. He's the decider. He invites everyone to state his or her piece or peace, then he tells them what to do — and seemingly without question, they do his bidding. Mr. Obama started his White House tenure from a near-zero base of foreign policy knowledge and no experience in the Middle East. It was easy enough to guess this blissful state from his earliest decisions. He came out of the box demanding that Israel agree to suspend construction on the West Bank as a precondition for direct negotiations with the Palestinians. Anyone who knew anything about this situation surely would have told the president that the chances of Mr. Netanyahu agreeing to this "proposal" were zero, or minus zero. No Israeli leader, even a dovish one, would ever dream of beginning negotiations by conceding his major bargaining card. As the teenagers say, what were Obama and his advisers thinking? And yes, after the Israelis publicly humiliated Vice President Biden during his trip to the Holy Land by announcing they would start new construction in East Jerusalem, Washington had to respond vehemently. The Israelis had been arrogant and stupid on this one. They had weakened American power in the region. No U.S. president could let them get away with it. Clinton and others made strong public statements of criticism, and those were fine. But Mr. Obama then allowed Mr. Netanyahu to come ahead with his planned visit to D.C. — and publicly humiliated him. The U.S. president let the Israeli prime minister cool his heels for hours before meeting with him, then wouldn't shake his hand when he departed. There's no surer way to unite a nation behind its leader, even a controversial one like Netanyahu, than to have a foreign leader humiliate him. This brilliant tactic — thought of by Obama's advisers or the president himself — accomplished two things. It stiffened Israeli backs even further against being conciliatory about starting talks with the Palestinians. The Israeli government was not about to cave to American pressures. It also galvanized Israeli supporters in the United States — in particular within conservative parts of the Jewish community and the Republican Party. There went Mr. Obama's support for pressing Israel even in private. To top this all off with Tuesday's meeting, full of smiles and the adoption of Israeli-desired language on almost every topic, only made matters worse. It made the situation look as if the American president had been cowed by Jewish control of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769491 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. . . Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769491 Date: 08/31/2015 American politics. That certainly pleased American and Israeli hawks, but it did not please others who want to see genuine progress in Mideast talks. There is a time and place for Washington to put pressure on Israel. Mr. Obama and his team picked every wrong time and place. The right occasion to squeeze is when the negotiations have reached the point where both sides have given and where both must give more to close the deal. Only at that point does pressure make sense. All parties would get a real shot at peace in return for their concessions. To be sure, many ask at this point — How do you get to that point? The answer is not to browbeat the parties to scurry to the negotiating table. That tactic simply never pays off. The answer is to build conditions beyond the negotiating table, conditions in the political community in both Israel and Palestine, that would support compromises at the table. The British' pushed the Catholics and Protestants to make concessions year after year, only to fail time and again, only to further inflame feelings all around and spur greater violence. Finally, London focused on getting Protestant and Catholic women to form common groups to support compromise. London did as much with various business communities that evolved into backers of mutual concessions as well. Only then did parties know that they had support for compromises, their negotiations got somewhere, and they reached agreement. That's what needs to be done between Israel and the Palestinians. We hear time and again that the enemy of peace in the Middle East is time, and that time is running out. Perhaps that is what has caused Mr. Obama and his team to misstep so badly; they think it's a race against the clock. Do something now or fail. But the real enemy of a negotiated settlement in the Mideast is not time; it's failure. Neither Israel nor the Palestinians nor the United States can afford to fail again. After yet another failure, it could well result in perpetual violence. To set his Arab-Israeli policy on a sensible course, Mr. Obama needs to search for new advisors who know how to get things done in the Middle East, hire them, and listen to them. Leslie H.

I believe we went in with a reasonably comprehensive service we wanted to provide acute trauma care in an orthopedic disaster. Our plan was to be at a hospital where we could utilize our abilities as trauma surgeons treat the acute injuries involved in an orthopaedic disaster. We expected many amputations however came with a philosophy that would reasonably start limb salvage in what we thought was a salvageable limb. David Helfet put a team together which included: 2 orthopaedic trauma surgeons 3 orthopaedic trauma fellows 2 highly skilled anesthiologists 1 general surgery trauma surgeon 2 synthes reps who were also scrub techs 1 trauma nurse practioner to do triage 2 OR nurses Our equipment including a huge amount of anesth medications and equipment, ability to construct 150 ex fix both small and large, OR equipment including scalpels etc, OR soft goods, splint material, OR prep material. We also had a plan of physician and equipment replacemnt that was dynamic where w/i 24hrs we could bring in what was necessary on the Synthes private jet. We thought the plan was a good one. We were incredibly naïve. Disaster management on the ground was nonexistent. The difficulties in getting in despite the intelligence we had from people on the ground and david helfet's high political connections with Partner's in Health as well as the Clintons only portended the difficulties we would have once we arrived. We started out friday morning, got a slot to get in friday that was eventually cancelled when we were on the runway to be rescheduled the next day. We diverted to the DR and planned on arriving in P OP saturday. Once on the ground the hospital we had intelligence that was up and running with 2 OR's General Hospital was included severely in the earthquake and not capable of running functioning OR's as there was no running water and only a limited electrical supply on generator. We quickly took our second option Community Hospital of Haiti. We found approx 750 pt in the hospital upon our initial eval, the hospital had running water, electricity and 2 functional OR's Our naivette did not expect that the 2 anesth machines would not work, there would be 1 cautery for the hospital, autoclave that fit instruments the size of a cigar box, no sterile saline, no functioning fluoro and no local staff only a ragtag UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769503 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769503 Date: 08/31/2015 group of voluntary health providers who like us had made it there on there own, To summarize we had no clue the medical infrastructure of the country was so poor. As we got up and running in the OR and organized the patients for surgery we communicated our new needs back to Synthes and more supplies were loaded for a second trip - these included battery operated pulse lavage, a huge supply of saline, soft goods in the OR. This plane landed as planned sunday pm, equipment was loaded on a truck and subsequent hijacked between the airport and the hospital. At the hospital we had zero security despite promises form NYPD and NYFD to provide that to us. Our philosophy was to work like this was a marathon run the OR's around the clock with the idea that we would have a defined extraction time of llpm tues. The plane that extracted us would come in with a new medical staff compliment to replace us. Equipment included urgent things to maximize issues that were nonexistent in the hospital that would enable us to provide better and more efficient care: 2 portable anesth machines 2electrocautery 2 portable monitors for the pacu 2autoclaves Replacement exfix Things that didn't arive with the previous flight That planes slot was cancelled by the military at 6am tues. We also previously had seen daylight in the remaining patients monday night haviving completed approx 100 surgeries. However on tues morning we found a huge # of new patients. The hospital was forced to undergo lockdown closing its gates to the outside and outside crowd becoming angry. We also noted tues morning that many of the patients we were operating on were becoming septic. We finished operating at noon tues, the last surgery our group assisting an obstetrician on a caesarian and resuscitating a baby that was not breathing. We decided as a group the situation for us at the hospital was untenable supplies were running out, team was exhauted, safety a huge concern, and no extraction plan with resupply. We decided to make our way to airport thru the help of a hospital benefactor. Jamaican soldiers with M-16 were necessary to escort us out with our luggage as the crowd outside saw us abandoning the hospital. We made it to airport on back of a pickup track, got onto the tarmac, hailed a commercial plane that carried cargo to montreal and had private jet pick us up there. The issues we were unprepared for and witnessed were 1. The amount of human devastation 2. The complete lack of a medical infrastructure in the country UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769503 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769503 Date: 08/31/2015 3. The lack of support of the haitian medical community 4. The complete lack of any organization on the ground. Noone was in charge, we had the first functional up and running hospital in the P OP area yet noone and I me NOONE came to the hospital to assess what we were doing, what we were capable of doing and what we would need, to be more efficient. The fact that the military could not or would not protect the resupply equipment on sunday or let the tues flight come in says it all. 5. Lack of any security at all at the hospital I would take away that disasters like this need organization on a much higher level than we had with the clear involvement and approval of the military from the beginning. Currently there is Noone obviously running the show and care is in chaotic at best. MD's are coming in country with no plan of what the are going to do. Surgeons that expect to just show up and operate are delusional as to what there role would be as without a complement of support staff and supplies they would be of limited or no value. 'I hope this helps. We all felt as though we abandoned these patients and that country and feel terrible. Our role now being back in NY is to expose the inadequacies of the system to the media in the hopes of effecting a change in this system immediatly. We feel that the only way to really help now is an urgent programtic change and organization in the support of the medical staff on the ground and what is critically needed to expeditiosly bring in. Cherrios on the tarmac are not getting it done on these patients which clearly would be savable if good care could urgently be provided.

It may sound trite but it's true -- just ask students and activists in Iran and China. With the Internet comes freedom. With freedom comes the Internet. In countless ways, for many people, the Internet is freedom. Hillary Clinton underlined that reality in a bold, impassioned speech at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. this morning. Words like "bold" and "impassioned" are not usually found in most of the mainstream media's caricature of Clinton. Nevertheless, the Secretary of State gave by far the most important speech about Internet freedom delivered by a top U.S. official. What makes it all the more notable is the fact that it was given by arguably the most recognizable female political figure in the world. In parts of the Middle East, women are beaten and killed by relatives who find out they are using sites like Twitter and Facebook. "Honor" beatings, they're called. "Given the magnitude of the challenges we're facing, we need people around the world to pool their knowledge and creativity to help rebuild the global economy, protect our environment, defeat violent extremism and build a future in which every human being can realize their God-given potential," said Clinton, who announced a new $15 million project to help more women, young people and citizen groups to get online. (WATCH: Video of her speech is below.) Clinton, speaking in broad strokes and finer details, outlined what she called the "five key freedoms of the Internet age." Freedom to connect online anywhere. Freedom of speech. Freedom of worship. Freedom from fear of cyber attacks. "In an interconnected world," she said, "an attack on one nation's networks can be an attack on all." Freedom of "want" -- which means that the here-comes-everybody ethos of the Web, the fact that we can bear witness to each other online, can be leveraged in helping relieve suffering worldwide. On the Twitterverse, where Internet observers and activists commented on Clinton's remarks and her subsequent Q&A in real time, some took note of her "disappointing" answers regarding China's alleged cyber attacks targeted at human rights activists. And inevitably, immediate coverage of the speech in our conflict-driven mainstream media, from the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769504 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769504 Date: 08/31/2015 New York Times to the Associated Press, focused on the China-Google dispute, which is being closely watched by human rights activists, government officials and Internet companies. But the overall meaning and message of her remarks, beyond the China-Google stand-off, cannot be overstated. The Internet, after all, was born in America, created by our researches and funded by our government. With help and input from other countries, the Web's evolving ethos and guiding principles should be shaped by America -- and, naturally, by America's top diplomat. "Sec. Clinton once and for all established the fact that free speech and free enterprise can no longer be achieved unless we have Internet freedom," Andrew Rasiej, founder of the Personal Democracy Forum, an annual conference on technology's impact on politics and policy, told me shortly after Clinton's remarks. He called her speech nothing short of a "milestone" in the future of American foreign policy." "In a world where billions are connected with each other through technology -- through the Internet and mobile phones -- it is imperative that governments recognize that it's easier and faster for people to connect with each other than for governments to connect with their citizens. Any government that fails to understand this dynamic will left in the history books," Rasiej continued." Less than two weeks ago, Clinton hosted a nearly two-hour dinner for some of the tech industry's leading thinkers and innovators. It was a small, intimate affair, and guests included Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Howcast CEO and co-founder Jason Liebman, who wrote about the event for HuffPostTech in a blog titled "Facebook, YouTube and Twitter Are Tools For Diplomacy." Rasiej was one of the guests. Clinton is interested in how technology can spur innovation within the State Department and in countries that the U.S. has interest in supporting, Rasiej said. Accompanying Clinton in the dinner was her senior staff and her growing new media department; most recently, Katie Jacobs Stanton, a former Google exec who joined the White House as its director of citizen participation, joined the State Department. There's a bit of irony at work here. Early in the long, bruising primary campaign that pitted the establishment-backed former first lady turned New York senator against the little-known insurgent junior senator from Illinois, Clinton was considered less Web-savvy than Barack Obama. Hers was a top-down, command-and-control operation, online observers suggested. In fact, the first online attack ad that spread on YouTube and foreshadowed the narrative of their historic fight for the Democratic nomination portrayed Clinton as the old PC and Obama as the shiny new Mac. "After having lost to Obama, especially to Obama's use of the Internet in attracting and mobilizing supporters," Rasiej pointed out, "Clinton is now leading the way within the Obama administration in recognizing the transformational opportunities that the Internet can provide." Using DipNote, the State Department's blog, recording videos from all corners of the world, especially where girls and women are considered second-class citizens, leveraging technological tools that, as we're seeing in the response and outpouring of support for Haiti, allow us to become "global citizens," Clinton can be the Web's first global diplomat.

From: Peter Harrell < To: Harrell, Peter E Sent: Sun Jan 24 14:56:20 2010 Subject: Conversation with Bob Maguire Cheryl, I had a good conversation with Bob this afternoon. The major points he wanted to emphasize were the ones he had included in his emails to you, including: • "Rebalancing" Haitian development: Redevelopment should occur nationwide and encourage a more even distribution of the Haitian population. The international community should not rebuild Port-auPrince at the expense of the rest of the country. Bob thinks that nationwide rebuilding will also reduce the chances of elite capture of the rebuilding effort, since elites are strongly concentrated in Port-auPrince. • Transparency: Bob is cautious about just throwing money at the problem. He thinks the international community should establish a new norm of transparency in Haiti, for example, to ensure that there isn't widespread corruption, price gauging, grants of monopolies, etc. • Link the Haitian business community to other business communities: Bob thinks that if all the rebuilding is done by the usual suspects in the Haitian business community, they'll simply build back the country they had before. He recommends working to bring in foreign investors, and then linking foreign investors and leading Haitian businessmen (e.g., in a business roundtable) to socialize better business practices in Haiti. • On the issue of legal authorities for reconstruction: Bob recommends exploring whether presidential commission-like structures could be empowered to resolve the legal problems likely to arise as barriers to reconstruction. • Duration of US presence: Bob cautioned that most Haitians would be happy to see a long-term US military presence in the country, though this would likely have adverse reputational consequences in the hemisphere for the United States. Given that hurricane season will begin in the fall, Bob recommends that when we do draw down, we make clear that we will return if needed. • Getting people to work: Bob argued that NGOs may not be the best vehicles for getting Haitians to work (e.g., through job training, etc.). In short, they're too nice. Many Haitians have never held a regular job, are unfamiliar with showing up on time, etc. They'll need a bit of tough love and discipline. Bob though ex-military might set the right kind of example.

This reinforces wage differentials and social discontent about returnees. • Conditional cash transfers: Bob thinks that conditional cash transfer programs have a lot of potential to improve education and the delivery of health services in Haiti.

From: Holbrooke, Richard Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 7:01 PM To: Sullivan, Jacob J Subject: Fw: Read-out: Ambassador Eikenberry's phone call with HAC-FO Chairwoman Nita Lowey FYI for you and HRC Ambassador Eikenberry and Chairwoman Lowey had a positive conversation that lasted more than an hour. He thanked the Chairwoman for her leadership and support and for her willingness and commitment to work with her colleagues to secure the significant amounts of funding that is so essential to the success of our Mission's programs and efforts. They had a very candid and detailed conversation about the elements, causes, and contributors to corruption in Afghanistan and the various interagency programs that are partnering with Afghan institutions to promote transparency and investigate corrupt practices and prosecute corrupt actors. Chairwoman Lowey appreciated Ambassador Eikenberry's detailed analysis and thorough review of the conditions in Afghanistan. She stated that there is an absolute need to ensure meaningful and effective accountability of US taxpayer funds appropriated by Congress. She conceded that we are not going to create an utopian society free of corruption, but stressed the need for accountability and transparency. She was particularly concerned with various reports that officials within the GIRoA are impeding the Embassy's efforts to assist the Afghans in investigating and prosecuting corrupt actors. The Chair asked if there are enough credible partners in the Afghan government who are committed to good governance and transparency. Ambassador Eikenberry provided an assessment of where he thought the challenges are, the next steps to be taken, and how progress can be made going forward. The Chair reiterated her longstanding support for assistance programs, especially education and health, and she asked Ambassador Eikenberry if he felt we are making progress in the areas of health, education, and agriculture. He provided a review of the various health, education, and agriculture programs and the multitude of changes that have been implemented to ensure greater transparency, accountability, and flexibility of funds and how these changes have better equipped the embassy to hold contractors accountable. The Ambassador raised the certification of Ministries program; how we are seeking to certify additional ministries once the Ministries achieve the appropriate level of financial accountability standards; and how these efforts will help develop Afghan capacity and ultimately allow us to increase the amount of assistance that goes through the Afghan government. They discussed the NSP program, and the Chair reiterated her support for the program and how she had consistently increased funding for NSP. Ambassador Eikenberry explained the Afghan public's reaction to reports that the assistance money had been removed and he respectfully encouraged her to reinstate the funding as quickly as possible so as to send a clear message to Afghans that we intend to have an enduring civilian assistance presence. He invited her to visit Afghanistan for several days and travel the country to see first-hand the progress that has been made and the challenges and opportunities that remain. She thanked him for his invitation and suggested that any visit might have to be deferred until November.

Sid Below is a transcript from Israeli TV News Channel Ten on a leaked poll taken last week by Frank Luntz. Here's a summary: 1. 2. 3. 4. 56% of Americans agree with the claim that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza; 43% of Americans agree with the claim that people in Gaza are starving; 34% of Americans support the Israeli operation against the Flotilla; 20% of Americans "felt support" for Israel following announcement of easing of Gaza closure. Frank Luntz analyses Netanyahu's media performance in the flotilla affair The figures are troubling and worrisome. If that is the situation with our great friend the US, it is easy to imagine the situation in other, somewhat less sympathetic countries. Channel Ten TV News, July 1 2010 20:38 Yaacov Eilon (host): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considered to make an extremely persuasive presentation in the world press. But a professional analysis by a US expert presented yesterday to his senior aides strongly criticizes him. Netanyahu's messages on the flotilla caused more harm than good. Our political correspondent Chico Menashe has obtained the report. Chico Menashe: Criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu's current PR messages and Israeli PR in general comes from the international elite of media consultants and pollsters and from the mouth of Frank Luntz, considered one of the leading American political consultants, a Republican pollster, a consultant to many governments throughout the world and to dozens of the biggest corporations in the US. He was asked by the Jewish organization The Israel Project to check the opinions of the American public on the messages Israel issued to the world during and after the flotilla events. The result is a harsh document that primarily criticizes the media strategy of the person considered Israel's number one propagandist in the world, Prime Minister Netanyahu. Netanyahu: Once again Israel faces hypocrisy and a biased rush to judgment. Chico Menashe: Every time Israeli speakers begin with accusing the international community, writes Luntz, they lose their audience. For example, Netanyahu's comments after the flotilla about the world hypocrisy were rejected by most of the American participants who listened to them. The findings were presented last night to senior members of Netanyahu's Bureau. Luntz checked the opinions with focus groups, not a poll. He warns of a dangerous slide in the public opinion of the only country considered pro-Israeli, the U.S. Israel misses simple opportunities to change world public opinion, he writes, and the consequences are significant. The American public increasingly hesitates to accept arguments that support Israeli positions. Ehud Barak: There is no hunger in Gaza and no humanitarian crisis. Netanyahu: There's no shortage of food, there's no shortage of medicine, there's no shortage of other goods. Chico Menashe: Luntz says Israel must immediately stop using the argument that there is no hunger and no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He says this fatally destroys Israel's credibility in light of the images on the television screens. Israel must admit that there is a problem, he says, to gain the listeners' sympathy [emphasis mine]. Luntz finds the troubling figure that 56% of participants agree with the claim that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and no less astonishing is that 43% of participants from the American public agree with the claim that people in Gaza are starving. But even lifting the closure that was supposed to improve Israel's image missed the opportunity, according to Luntz. Netanyahu: Yesterday an important decision was made by the security cabinet. Its meaning is clear. On the one hand, allowing civilian goods into Gaza, and on the other hand maintaining the military blockade of Hamas. Chico Menashe: The statement by Netanyahu's bureau of lifting the closure missed the opportunity to gain support in international public opinion [emphasis mine]. Only 20% of the Americans polled felt support of Israel following the statement. According to Lunt, this is the summary of the flotilla damage in American public opinion: Only 34% of the American public support the Israeli operation against the flotilla, and he says that is a dangerously low percentage.

I join President Obama and the people of the United States in offering our deepest condolences on this most solemn occasion. We honor the memories of the victims and mourn with their families. The United States stands with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and all countries in the region who wish to foster peace and reconciliation. We remain committed to ensuring that those responsible for these crimes face justice. We recognize that there can be no lasting peace without justice. It is only by bringing all responsible parties to account for their crimes that we will truly honor Srebrenica's victims. We are duty-bound — to the victims, to their surviving family members, and to future generations — to prevent such atrocities from happening again. Our common faith in the value of freedom and peace unifies us and drives us to act. That is why we are committed to working with all the communities that make up Bosnia and Herzegovina to move forward and build a pluralistic, democratic state that can take its rightful place in the Euro-Atlantic community. A prosperous, free, and unified Bosnia and Herzegovina is the most worthy monument to those who lost their lives at Srebrenica and the best guarantee against such a tragedy ever repeating itself. ### Drafted: EUR/PPD: TWeik Cleared: EUR/FO: NMcEldowney EUR/SCE: JBuzbee EUR/Press: MCavey DRL/EUR: SCorke P: TWaser D: AScanlon S/P: EGaudiosi (ok) (ok) (ok) (ok) (ok) (info) UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769547 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769547 Date: 08/31/2015 PA: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769547 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769549 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Jiloty, Lauren C Sunday, July 11,2010 12:08 PM H Karzai Ms: I apologize if this email is duplicating anyone else's efforts (we are trying to leave huma alone today!)

But with Paul Farmer's help we created a joint oversight process with PIH, KPMG and the Ministry of Health. Sadly its slow going. But my cousin at the ARC is working to do the right things.... Any good words you can say about the ARC would be appreciated! And we are trying to move things forward still...

A majority or plurality disapproves of Obama's management of the economy, health care, the budget deficit, the overhaul of financial market regulations and the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a Bloomberg National Poll conducted July 9- 12. In addition, almost 6 in 10 respondents say the war in Afghanistan is a lost cause. Almost two-thirds say they feel the nation is headed in the wrong direction, an even more sour assessment than in March when 58 percent felt that way. Two-thirds of independent voters are pessimistic, while just 56 percent of Democrats offer a vote of confidence. "They don't see any solutions in sight," said J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., a Des Moines, Iowabased firm that conducted the nationwide survey. "They have been hammered by the economy and there is a disconnect between the lives Americans are living and Washington. They seem to have lost hope." Poll respondents are divided on their congressional preference between Democrats and Republicans, with both sides getting 43 percent support. Among those who say they are most likely to vote, Republicans are favored, 48 percent to 40 percent. The Republican advantage is even greater among likely voters who view the election as exceptionally important, with Republicans beating Democrats 56 percent to 34 percent. Control of Congress UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769584 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. CO5769584 Date: 08/31/2015 For the Democrats, whd control Congress and the White House, the survey shows the potential 'for losses in November, when voters will fill all 435 House seats, 36 Senate seats and 37 governorships. The outcome could affect °Pam's ability to move his agenda through Congress for the two years leading up to his own 2012 re-election bid. The fate of incumbents will depend to some extent on what happens to the economy in the next four months and whether unemployment drops much from its current 9.5 percent. A rising stock market could help as well. So far this year, the S&P 500 stock index has declined 1.8 percent. The public's disenchantment with the president's Policies doesn't extend to voter feelings about Obama himself, as he gets a job approval rating of 52 percent and personally is viewed favorably by 55 percent. Obama, 48, remains more popular than any of the Republican figures tested in the poll and is topped only by Secretary of State :-- ;:!aity ant.cn and General Da,,,td Petraeos, the new commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, among a list of 15 people and political parties reviewed. Republican Leaders The only bright spot for Republican candidates is for Louisiana Governor Eiob%) 1i:tele!, who gets a 32 percent favorable rating and an 18 percent unfavorable grade. Better-known party leaders such as former vice presidential candidate :a-et..n and former House Speaker Netf,ri: CirigPait both have negative ratings that outweigh the positive views. Although turnout in midterm elections is historically lower than in presidential races, the electorate is interested. Four- fifths of Americans who plan to vote say November's election is very or exceptionally important. The likelihood to vote is strongest among older voters, Republicans and those with the highest incomes. Among those 55 and older. three-quarters say they will definitely vote, compared with 48 percent of those younger than 35. Four-fifths of Republicans say they will definitely vote, compared with 65 percent of Democrats and 62 percent of independents. Referendum on °barna Seeking to capitalize on the intensity expressed by voters, Republicans want to make the election a national referendum on Obama and the party in power, while the White House and Democrats argue it is about going forward, rather than backward to failed policies. The challenge for Democrats will be to translate their vision of a better future into more positive feelings about the economy among voters. In the poll, Republicans have the advantage among the independents often critical to winning elections. Among independents likely to vote, Republican congressional candidates are preferred to Democrats, 50 percent to 29 percent. "Anything that has been tried hasn't resulted in making anything better in the world where ordinary people live," Selzer said. "That's a bad scenario for incumbents of the majority party." Incumbent Disadvantage A third of poll participants say they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who has served in Congress for many years. About one-fifth of likely voters say the election is more about sending a message, while three-quarters say it is about picking the party that has the best ideas.

"They are going in 10 different directions and they really don't know what to focus on." The proportion who feel the nation is headed in the wrong direction is about the same as at this poin't in 1994, when Republicans took control of Congress, and 2006, when Democrats took over. The public also has soured on Obama's foreign-policy priority, the war in Afghanistan. While the president has ordered an expansion of forces to turn the tide in a conflict where he says the U.S. has a critical stake, 58 percent say it is a lost cause, compared with 36 percent who say it can still be won. A slim majority of Republicans -- 52 percent -- say the U.S. can still win in Afghanistan, while 71 percent of Democrats say the conflict is lost. Afghanistan Withdrawal Six in 10 Americans say it would be best to stick with Obarna's plan to start withdrawing forces in July 2011, while one-third say they remain open to keeping the same number of troops there, or even adding additional forces. Reflecting the belief among many that the war cannot be won, a third of Americans say they have become less supportive of the effort there in recent months. The Bloomberg National Poll is based on interviews with 1,004 U.S. adults ages 18 or older. Percentages based on the full sample may have a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. :4:?,r;yr• 3 '. cwrra:1, who studies public opinion at the ,A;-necicar Entarpr:F.:e institute, a public-policy research group in Washington, cails the poll "very, very grim news for the Democrats." At the same time, she says, one silver lining for Democrats is that Republicans have yet to convince voters that they have a plan. Obarna Visit One signpost for Democrats in the poll is the finding that just 26 percent of Americans say it would help a Democratic candidate in their area to get a visit from Obama, while 20 percent say it would hurt the candidate and 54 percent say it wouldn't matter or they don't know. Obama's worst ratings are for his handling of the budget deficit, where 59 percent disapprove and 37 percent approve. It's his worst grade for that subject in any of four Bloomberg polls taken since September 2009. The Obama administration expects a record budget deficit this year of more than $1.5 trillion, or 10.6 percent of GDP, according to projections the White House released in February. It was $1.4 trillion for the 2008-2009 fiscal year, which covers the end ofGecrge W. Bush's presidency, and Obama has said that the current fiscal shortfall as well as theunemployment rate are inheritances from his Republican predecessor's administration. "My biggest fear is we have people in government who don't have a clue about what is going on in the economy," says poll respondent Jim Heeter, 66, from Glendale, Arizona. "They have never run a business or had to make a payroll." Economy, Health Care UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769584 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769584 Date: 08/31/2015 Slim majorities disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy and health care. When it comes to creating jobs, he gets 46 percent approval, addressing problems on Wall Street, 42 percent support, running the war in Afghanistan, 46 percent approve, and managing the BP Plc oil spill, 46 percent support. Forty-five percent say they have become more supportive in recent months of tougher regulations for Wall Street. The momentum is heading in the opposite direction from the White House and Democrats on most other issues. Almost half say they have become less supportive in recent months of federal money being loaned to automotive companies to help them stay in business, while 37 percent have become less supportive of the health-care overhaul passed by Congress earlier this year. A majority, 61 percent, say the nation should wait and see how the health-care legislation works or leave it alone, while 37 percent want to see it repealed. Arizona Immigration Law Almost half of Americans say they have also grown more supportive of allowing local law enforcement to detain anyone who can't produce proof of citizenship when stopped for an offense, as is contemplated in an Arizona law. Cbama has criticized the measure and the Justice Department has announced it plans to sue Arizona. At least half of respondents also say they would be less likely to support candidates who voted to give financial assistance to the banking or automobile industries. Americans are roughly divided on whether they would be more or less likely to support a candidate who voted against extending unemployment benefits because of concern over the cost. A measure providing such support worth $34 billion is stalled in Congress. Clinton Popularity The disaffection with Obarna and Democrats doesn't carry over to all Democrats. Hillary Clinton, 62, is viewed favorably by 61 percent of respondents and a quarter of Americans, including 30 percent of Republicans and 21 percent of Democrats, say the nation would be in a better place if she had been elected president. The Tea Party movement, which has been mainly associated with Republicans, has lukewarm support in the poll. A majority of 58 percent of all respondents says it would make no difference to them if a candidate was backed by Tea Party activists, while a third of Republicans say that kind of backing would make a candidate more appealing to them. Those who are more likely to think the Tea Party is a simplistic and misguided movement -- 44 percent of all respondents -- include Democrats, 65 percent, and those with the highest incomes, 52 percent. Independent voters are divided on whether it is misguided or has rightly identified that the nation would be better served by reduced federal government, compared with 39 percent overall.

Sid Sent via Cingular Xpress Mail with Blackberry Original Message From: H Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 06:58:44 To: 'sbwhoeop and at bottom of post] In the course of intimate conversations over the past few weeks with top political officials and civil servants, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has said, according to his interlocutors, that he managed to defeat the US administration. Netanyahu is pleased by the fact that the Americans failed, so he said, to twist his arm and that ultimately, in the duel between him and the Obama administration, he was the one who emerged with the upper hand. We did not make concessions on our red lines and they failed to make us fold and to drag us to places we didn't want to go, said Netanyahu, according to people who heard him speak. Netanyahu is convinced that he is not going to be forced to extend the settlement construction freeze, which is due to expire in September. According to senior officials in Jerusalem, an agreement has already been reached with the administration that the Israeli government will not announce an extension of the construction freeze in the territories, and the Americans will "make sure" that the Palestinians do not withdraw from the talks. Israel, however, will not take "aggressive" action and construction will be resumed only in areas that are clearly within the consensus inside the settlement blocs. The Prime Minister's Bureau vigorously denied the above report. "The statements attributed to the prime minister are incorrect," said a spokesman in the Prime Minister's Bureau. "They were not said by Netanyahu in any forum. The reason is simple: the prime minister does not think that, Prime Minister Netanyahu holds in great esteem the commitment by President Obama and the administration to Israel's security and their efforts to renew the peace process in our region." Eli Bardenstein adds: The formal invitation that Netanyahu received yesterday to meet with President Obama next week might attest to a radical change in the White House's attitude towards him. Political sources in Israel described the planned meeting as "the peak of the campaign for Israel and the Jews that has been pursued by the Obama administration in the past number of weeks." The sources said that the meeting was geared to put an end to the grave crisis that erupted some two months ago between the Obama administration and Netanyahu over the Israeli-Palestinian UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769600 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769600 Date: 08/31/2015 conflict and particularly over the continued construction in East Jerusalem, and to mend the mistaken impression that was received as if Israel was "no longer an absolute ally of the United States." That crisis, which was initiated by the Americans, elicited fierce criticism in the United States, and sparked a desire among members of the Obama administration to rectify the situation. Another reason for the administration's desire to end the crisis is the fear of failure in the upcoming Congressional elections in November. "The Democratic Party's coffers are empty. Many Democrat members of Congress and Senators have complained that if the hazing of Israel were to continue, they would be unable to obtain donations from Jews and were liable to lose the elections," said one source in Washington. The prevalent assessment is that Netanyahu will be received far more warmly in Washington next week than he was two months ago. This time the meeting will be covered by the media and the two leaders are expected to have their picture taken together and to give statements to the media. That said, sources in Washington noted that "Netanyahu is leery of the meeting with Obama and of walking into a trap once again. He knows that the smiles notwithstanding, behind closed doors he is going to have to give answers to very difficult questions, like 'how do you envision the end of the negotiations with the Palestinians." Netanyahu is to begin his political travels today in Paris, where he is to attend the ceremony in honor of Israel's acceptance into the OECD. The prime minister will be arriving in a city that is on strike, which is liable to impede his movement through the city streets to the center of Paris for his meetings.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769604 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769604 Date: 08/31/2015 To people in the local disability community, Dee Delaney is a household name. When news came this spring of her intention to retire as executive director of FISA Foundation in August, one could almost hear a collective gasp. With 14 years at the helm of the small but influential foundation, Ms. Delaney has had a pronounced and lasting influence on quality of life in our region. On behalf of FISA, Ms. Delaney has changed the local landscape not only by funding projects with far-reaching results, but by bringing people together to craft solutions to longstanding problems and by becoming personally involved in many of the projects the foundation funds. She became the first executive director of FISA Foundation when it began in 1996 with proceeds from the sale of Harmarville Rehabilitation Center, a nonprofit, to HealthSouth, a for-profit organization. The new foundation would continue the mission of the Federation of Independent School Alumnae, an organization that opened a convalescent home for women in 1911 and the Harmarville Rehabilitation Center in 1954. That mission was to improve the lives of women, girls and people with disabilities in Western Pennsylvania. Ms. Delaney, who had been involved with Harmarville since 1980 -- starting as a volunteer and ending as development director of its foundation -- sought the job of leading FISA. "I realized the impact the foundation could have. FISA is not a large foundation, but it's a very focused foundation," she said. Over the past 14 years, FISA's endowment has grown to more than $38 million. Over $17 million has been granted to 726 projects in 298 organizations. A roll call of projects funded by FISA reflects progressive thinking about including of people with disabilities in all aspects of life, especially access to health care. Programs have become national models. Women with disabilities, for example, often encounter barriers in typical healthcare settings. Standard exam tables and diagnostic equipment were designed for the able-bodied, and medical staff often struggle to accommodate individuals with special needs. FISA provided the seed money for the Center for Women with Disabilities at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC, one of the first such clinics in the nation. FISA is involved in the overall issue of improving access to healthcare for people with disabilities. Likewise, people with disabilities have difficulty obtaining dental care. A FISA-funded project at Achieva is creating statewide, systemic solutions. FISA also provided support for the Center for Patients with Special Needs at Pitt's School of Dental Medicine. FISA has also taken the lead on training arts and cultural venues how to make events more accessible and helping places of worship more welcoming. "Dee is a national leader in the field. If there were more people like her, we wouldn't have the issues we have," said Kim Hutchinson, executive director of the Disability Funders Network, based in Virginia. Ms. Delaney has been a board officer for the group since 2004. Nancy Murray, president of the ARC of Greater Pittsburgh, said the issues Ms. Delaney has helped solve are ones that people have been working on for years. "People talk about strategies, but never move forward to solutions. Dee brings all the stakeholders together to get to the solutions," said Ms. Murray. "I think Dee has greatly influenced the next generation of nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, leading by example on the value of true collaboration," said Susie Chase, a board member of FISA and former executive director of Working Order, a FISA grantee.

That seems to bring out the best in every partner, and in everyone who has the privilege of working with her." Ms. Chase added that advice and technical assistance Ms. Delaney provided to Working Order "were of equal or greater value to the organization than the grant funds." "I still, after many years, never come away from a meeting with Dee that I haven't learned something, been inspired to work harder, and understood more clearly the value of someone else's ideas and efforts." In her retirement, Ms. Delaney plans to "give back to the community in new ways," she said. A new frontier is helping young people with disabilities prepare for employment and leadership. "We have to keep the fire burning." On May 19, FISA announced that Kristy Trautmann, who has served as the foundation's program director for six years, was promoted to executive director. "We sought a person who would follow Ms. Delaney's visionary leadership and guide the foundation into the next decade," said Jane Burger, who chaired the search. committee. "We know that we have found such a person in Kristy Trautmann. She understands the challenges facing the populations the foundation supports and has the trust of the board and the community."

For while much about the incident remains unclear, a day of carefully parsed statements from the White House and State Department left at least one irrefutable aftershock: With much of the world expressing fury over the raid, the contrast with Washington's muted response could not have been more striking. "The situation is that they're so isolated right now that it's not only that we're the only ones who will stick up for them," said an American official. "We're the only ones who believe them — and what they're saying is true." The official was referring to Israeli protestations — backed by Israeli Defense Forces video — that their solders were attacked by passengers on a ship headed for Gaza with humanitarian aid, when they boarded the ship in what the Israelis concede were international waters. Organizers of the flotilla, meanwhile, insisted that participants were unarmed and that Israeli forces used excessive force. The timing of the incident had to be viewed with rueful irony among the administration's Middle East hands. Obama spent this spring damping down concern among American friends of Israel that his seeming feud with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had brought the administration to the verge of fundamentally altering the historic U.S. alliance with the Jewish state. Obama met personally with Jewish members of Congress and dispatched top officials to Jewish groups to stress the point, as the "anti-Bibi" rhetoric was simultaneously dialed back precipitously. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769606 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769606 Date: 08/31/2015 The charm offensive appears to have worked. But now an administration that itself has expressed its own fury toward Netanyahu and his government in the past now finds itself close to sharing Israel's isolation at the moment — a dynamic that could complicate Obama's outreach to the rest of the region. Israel's traditional critics denounced the raid — the chief Palestinian peace negotiator, Saeb Erakat, called it a "war crime" — but so did some the countries Jerusalem counts as friendly. Turkey's Prime Minister described the incident as an act of "inhuman state terror" and Ankara withdrew its ambassador to Israel while the Conservative British Foreign Secretary took the occasion to call the Gaza blockade "unacceptable and counterproductive." The White House, in sharp contrast, avoided any hint of criticism of the Israeli action in its public statements, and American officials appeared sympathetic to Israeli explanations that their soldiers were attacked by flotilla participants. The U.S. "deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries sustained" in the Israeli raid, deputy White House press secretary Bill Burton said in the first of three carefully-modulated statements Monday, The administration, he said, is "working to understand the circumstances surrounding this tragedy." The White House rendition of a call between Obama and Netanyahu also strained to avoid condemnation, and went out of the way to note that many of those wounded in the incident "are being treated in Israeli hospitals." Six hours later, State Department spokesman PJ Crowley issued a third statement, adding that the U.S. expects that the Israeli government — the unstated emphasis was not the United Nations — "will conduct a free and credible investigation." Crowley added an evenhanded paragraph calling on the Israelis to open Gaza to humanitarian aid, while simultaneously condemning the militant group Hamas, whose political control of Gaza prompted the blockade. "Hamas' interference with international assistance shipments and work of nongovernmental organizations, and its use and endorsement of violence, complicates efforts in Gaza," Crowley said. The immediate upshot of the statements from the United States and other countries is that Obama, perhaps surprisingly, finds himself in the same posture as his predecessors over the past 60 years — one that holds that the U.S. is far more willing to give the Israelis the benefit of the doubt on matters of security. Washington "is always going to be the most reluctant major global actor to condemn Israeli excesses, and that is the position President Obama finds himself in right now," said Hussein Ibish, a Senior Fellow at The American Task Force on Palestine. That position squares with the administration's apparent, reluctant rapprochement with Israeli's rightist leader — even if that burying of grudges had deep reverberations for the peace process.

"They need to weather this crisis with the relationship with the Israelis north of where it is now." The most immediate challenge, Miller said, will be steering a special session of the UN Security Council — called by Arab members — away from forcing the U.S. either to vote on condemning Israel's actions or to veto a resolution condemning them. Observers of the process expect the U.S. to attempt to craft a resolution that doesn't condemn Israeli directly and doesn't establish any international investigation, like an earlier inquiry into Israel's actions in Gaza led by the former South African Judge Richard Goldstone. Obama and other American officials stressed the need to study the details of the incident, as the Israeli government pointed to video of passengers on the ship — which was boarded in international waters — attacking Israeli commandos with what appeared to be chairs and metal poles. "At this point, it is unclear what happened and there must be a thorough investigation," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry said in a statement. Others suggested that further probes may not change the initial reactions. "You can have an independent commission spend 3 or 4 months studying this thing and come out with something that is stunningly clear and factual, but it doesn't matter," said Miller. "People knew where they were before this episode started."

SCA favors providing more USG support for AUCA Since 9/11 the United States has provided more than $15 million to AUCA in support of its endowment and various other initiatives. For a majority of these contributions the Soros Foundation matched one dollar for every two dollars provided by the USG. The major USG contributions to AUCA were two grants to the university endowment, the first in 2003 for $10 million, the second in 2008 for $3 million. Other USG support for AUCA included funding for two advisors to the AUCA president on accreditation and development, support for the journalism faculty, and scholarship funds for students from Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan to attend the university. Soros has proposed that the USG increase this support, offering a 1-1 match of $10 million each from State and his foundation, totaling $20 million over the next five years. Last fall SCA received the same proposal from Soros, and they have been discussing the issue with Soros' staff. A little bit of additional information from SCA on AUCA: The university has made significant progress this year on a number of its key objectives and remains a unique institution in Central Asia, a place where students are judged solely on merit and a forum for free expression and critical thinking. The university achieved an important milestone this year related to its U.S. accreditation, signing an agreement with Bard College under which AUCA graduates starting next May will receive full diplomas from Bard College, an institution accredited in the United States. In addition, AUCA recently established a new partnership with the American University in Kabul facilitated through state of the art video classroom technology and recently announced the appointment of Andrew Wachtel, from Northwestern University, as the new AUCA president who will take office this summer. I will include this note (in addition to Soros' letter) in your materials for your meeting with Soros tomorrow. Please let me know if you would like any further information. Thanks, Mike Michael H.

Sid Gaza: it's Hamas's move now Hamas must seize the initiative if there is ever to be an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine • • c) Jeremy Greenstock o quardian.co.uk, Wednesday 2 June 2010 12.29 BST So it has happened again. Nearly 18 months after the Israelis bombed Gaza to a wasteland, with barely a load of building materials allowed in since then, Turkey has taken the brunt of an operation of humanitarian assistance gone wrong. The UN must establish the facts impartially and independently and, if laws have been broken, those responsible must be held to account. Political demonstrations posing as relief flotillas go wrong too easily and Israel understandably has to prevent weapons being smuggled into Gaza. But was this really the best way to bring the ships to shore for examination? A commando attack on civilian ships looks callous and disproportionate. No one should have been hurt, whatever the emotions behind all this. Why is Gaza under siege in the first place? Under international law, the Israelis are responsible as the occupying force for the proper administration of the territory; and half the point of Israel is not to be above the law. Yet they are creating a traumatised territory of 1.5m neighbours, many of whose children seem to want to grow up to be suicide bombers. They are also pouring fertiliser on al-Qaida's ground. The director of UNRWA operations in Gaza, John Ging, gave a speech in London this week entitled "Illegal, inhuman. and insane: a medieval siege on Gaza in 2010". This objective humanitarian practitioner should be listened to. How has Israel, the only democracy in its region and a symbol of the need for racially inspired violence to end, come to risk any claim to international legitimacy in its handling of this situation? Hamas are the enemy of Israel, but they do not have to be. They preach violent resistance too readily, yet over the past 17 months they have been trying to control the militant groups intent on threatening Israel with rockets — imperfectly perhaps, but not a single Israeli citizen has been killed (alas, one immigrant worker was) by a rocket since the Gaza bombing stopped in January 2009. They are also the implacable opponents of al-Qaida. They won a fair election in 2006 and claim to respect democracy. Let's test them on that. At present, Hamas security people are being sniped at by the Israeli Defence Forces when they try to arrest other militant groups. This is genuinely getting insane. The unwisdom of reliance on angry military responses is all the clearer when the mood in Palestine, in both the West Bank and Gaza, is steadily moving towards a negotiated end to the occupation. I am convinced from my own direct experience that Hamas is prepared to establish and respect a long-term ceasefire so that the talking can start without the threat of violence, and that they would enter in good faith, if that were reciprocated, into negotiations to establish two states in the disputed territories, Israel and Palestine, with their own rights and responsibilities under international law. The distortion of their position, a little of it the fault of their own PR, does no side any good. If a comprehensive negotiation is too much to expect for now, what about a first step? I believe an arrangement to end the blockade is within reach if only Israel, Egypt and Gaza would test the possibilities of dialogue. Hamas have indicated that they could cease all attacks on Israeli soil, close the tunnels, release Gilead Shalit and stop the import of arms into Gaza if the blockade was ended, an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners were released and Gaza began to be rebuilt. The Palestinians of course have work to do on their own internal reconciliation, while the relationship between Fatah in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza remains so bad. But the UN, the US, Russia, the EU and the Arab world must make a much more serious attempt to test the possibilities, putting ordinary Israelis and Palestinians first, not their own political comfort. We are coming close to losing the chance of a two-state solution. US policy, based on a West-Bank-only approach, is locked in a cul-de-sac if Gaza is left out of the equation, because majority Palestinian support will be lacking. Israel is confident in the knowledge that it cannot be militarily defeated.

This matters in today's world, as the US and the UK discovered in Iraq, because government authority and public opinion interact closely, and legitimacy breeds support. Israel's relationship with Turkey was the key to a broader understanding with the Islamic community and others beyond the west. That now lies in tatters. If Israel is left as the permanent occupier, or controlling a one-state structure with part of its population downgraded or imprisoned, it will truly be a disaster for its people and what they stand for. I hope that Hamas will not sit back and enjoy Israel's discomfiture. They have so far, for a political organisation, attracted much too narrow a range of international support. If they wish to be widely accepted as a negotiating partner, they must unequivocally accept the only fully justified condition set by the international Quartet — the cessation of violence — underline that their objective is a two-state settlement, and win international friends for the ending of the occupation. In whoever's hands, bombs, bullets, rockets and iron bars will achieve nothing. But a push for justice will. • This article was originally written for the Times but not published UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769624 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769626 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Sullivan, Jacob J Wednesday, June 2, 2010 5:10 PM H From Bob Blake FYI: USIBC Launches New Education Initiative to Strengthen K-12, Vocational, and Higher Education Linkages in the U.S. and India June 2, 2010 - Washington, DC - On the occasion of its 35th anniversary, and looking ahead to the global economy of the future, the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) today announced the launch of a new initiative aimed at strengthening institutional linkages between academia, industry and NGOs focusing on the elementary, vocational and higher education sectors in both countries. "The United States and India must be committed partners in building the workforce of tomorrow, a partnership that will unleash opportunity, spur growth and sustain prosperity not just in our countries but across the global community," said Harold McGraw III, incoming USIBC Chairman and Chairman, President and CEO of The McGraw-Hill Companies. "To do this, we must focus on strengthening our educational ties at every level. By working together our two countries can equip the next generation with the education and skills necessary to compete and win in the global economy." Mr. McGraw gave the keynote address before a packed audience of over 400 U.S. and Indian business, government, and education leaders at USIBC's 35th Anniversary Summit, entitled "A Pivotal Period in U.S.-India Relations: Tackling Education, Infrastructure and Inclusive Growth." On the eve of the first-ever U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue, India's Union Minister of External Affairs, SM Krishna, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, India's Minister of Human Resource Development, Kapil Sibal, and India's Ambassador to the United States, Meera Shankar, joined hundreds of top business leaders in Washington to participate in the U.S.India Business Council 35th anniversary deliberations. USIBC's Education Initiative will serve as a dynamic platform for business, NGOs, and academia to provide vital input into both the U.S. and Indian governments - such that the synergies between American and Indian business and educational communities are unleashed. "We can talk about strategic, defense, civil nuclear, renewable energy and every other type of commercial cooperation, but if we do not develop the skill sets in our respective societies to sustain such collaboration, all this talk will never be successfully converted to action," Ron Somers, President of the U.S.-India Business Council, noted. "How fortunate it is that families across all walks of life in both our societies so highly value education. We have much to learn from one another, and much to accomplish - to prepare for the challenges of the 21st Century," Somers said. The USIBC Education initiative will focus on three thrust areas: Higher Education: USIBC will host the U.S.-India Higher Education Forum (HEF) at the invitation of the U.S. and 1. Indian governments. The HEF will serve as the premier platform to enlist academia, industry and NGOs to strengthen linkages between U.S. and Indian educational institutions from both countries. The HEF will provide a formalized network for industry, academia and the NGO community to provide direct policy input to the U.S. and Indian governments in all areas of education, with an aim to facilitate greater collaboration, including the opening of India's higher education sector.

Elementary K-12 Education : USIBC has embarked on a survey of rural and urban, private and public K-12 schools throughout India to identify best practices that are working well in educating students, while assessing needs where industry, NGOs and government may join together to fill gaps. With the support of Ryan International Group, one of India's leading educators, both financial and intellectual resources will be mobilized to transform these and other schools in a manner that promotes replication of successful models across India. Vocational Training and Skills Development : USIBC will partner with its member-companies to feature Case 3. Studies of Vocational Training and Skills Development that are being implemented across India. The exercise will attempt to enlist more corporations to participate in this important area of human capacity building. Programs helping to train thousands of workers will generate employment opportunities and sustain economic growth now and for the long future - in both countries. India is embarked on expanding its community college system, including technical training institutions, as well as inviting interest in implementing 30,000 new colleges and 1,500 universities over the next decade. The United States continues to be the most sought after destination for Indian students studying overseas, attracting as many as 113,000 each year to American universities and colleges. The U.S. wishes to remain a magnet for attracting the best and the brightest from around the world by promoting institutional partnerships between U.S. based educational institutions and new counterparts. Integral to this core knowledge infrastructure, industry must be involved in this enterprise.

By Natasha Mozgovaya Tags: Joe Biden Gaza flotilla U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday defended Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip and its decision to intercept the pro-Palestinian flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to the coastal territory, though he did not go so far as to defend the Israel Navy raid that killed nine people two days earlier. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Biden pointed out that Israel had given pro-Palestinian activists the option of unloading their cargo at the Ashdod port, and offered to bring it to the Gaza Strip on their behalf. "They've said, 'Here you go. You're in the Mediterranean. This ship -- if you divert slightly north you can unload it and we'll get the stuff into Gaza,", he said. "So what's the big deal here? What's the big deal of insisting it go straight to Gaza? Well, it's legitimate for Israel to say, 'I don't know what's on that ship. These guys are dropping... 3,000 rockets on my people. "Look, you can argue whether Israel should have dropped people onto that ship or not -- but the truth of the matter is, Israel has a right to know -- they're at war with Hamas -- has a right to know whether or not arms are being smuggled in." During the interview, Biden also blamed Hamas for the crisis that has wracked the coastal territory and for the ongoing state of conflict with Israel.

That's right. Ever since she became Secretary of State, her favorables have soared into the mid-60's , putting her well clear of any other statewide officeholder in the country. The only national figures who are viewed as favorably as Clinton are Michelle Obama , Colin Powell , and David Patraeus . However, they have never run for office, which invariably lowers your favorables. Hillary Clinton will turn 69 in in the final week of the 2016 campaign, which makes her slightly younger than Ronald Reagan when he first was elected in 1980. Also, as Secretary of State, a major presidential candidate, a U.S. Senator, and First Lady, she is also probably more credentialed than any other potential Presidential candidate, too. There is even talk she may become the next Secretary of Defense , further adding to her credentials. Some have said that, in choosing Joe Biden as Vice-President, Barack Obama did not pick a successor to lead the Democratic Party. However, that needs rethinking. Because Barack Obama made her Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton remains remarkably well-positioned to run for President in 2016, even more so than she was in 2008. Anyway, have a good holiday weekend.

Congressman McGovern also strongly encouraged the Secretary to meet with representatives of those organizations and individuals being threatened, with a particularly effort to reach out to and invite the Bishops of Tumaco (Narifio), Barrancabermeja/Medio Magdalena (Santander), and we would now add Putumayo, since the Colombian Catholic Church just advised us yesterday of increased death threats against religious workers there. In addition, we recommended inviting Monsetior Hector Fabio Henao, director of Pastoral Social, at the Archdiocese in Bogota, who represents all the pastoral work of the Church throughout the country, as well as representatives from the Mennonite and Lutheran churches, in particular. While in Colombia, the most important thing the Secretary can do is avoid effusive praise for President Alvaro Uribe, who leaves office in August. Inside Colombia, the visit by the Secretary is being described as focusing solely on the free trade agreement and continuing support of the counterdrug strategy/Plan Colombia. Without changes in the human rights situation and the culture of impunity, it is unlikely that anything the Secretary might say or do will alter the equation on Capitol Hill regarding the trade agreement. It should be noted that the October 2008 GAO report on the counter-drug operations in Colombia concluded that U.S. assistance was successful in increasing security in parts of the country, but a failure in the areas of counter-narcotics (GAO-0971) and a subsequent April 2009 USAID evaluation on U.S. aid for Plan Colombia for illegal crop reduction and Colombian countemarcotics policies actually contribute to increased coca production. The Colombian president has been a solid backer of U.S. policy and U.S. interests in the region, and has achieved some important improvements in the country's security situation. It is important to recognize that, but to do so without repeating the tone of Defense Secretary Gates' April visit, in which he called Uribe a "great hero" and failed even to mention any concerns. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769638 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769638 Date: 08/31/2015 These concerns are of critical importance, and while the Secretary need not list them all, at least some deserve public acknowledgement — some recognition that it is important to the United States that Colombia, including the current government and its successor, show the necessary political will to deal with them: • A sharp rise in alleged military killings of civilians. In many cases, these are so-called "false positives": non-combatants murdered and later presented as members of armed groups killed in combat. These, notes UN Special Rapporter for Extrajudicial Executions Philip Alston, "began occurring with a disturbing frequency across Colombia from 2004." Citing prosecutors' and NGOs' reports, Alston indicates that Colombia's security forces may have killed 1,486 civilians during the first six years of Alvaro Uribe's presidency. Alston notes that the Defense Ministry only began to address the situation after the media broke the story of the false-positives and the subsequent negative publicity and horrified public outcry. The prosecution of "false positives" is moving with excruciating slowness. In perhaps the most notorious case — the murders of about twenty young men from the poor Bogota suburb of Soacha — nearly all of the accused soldiers and officers have been released from prison, pending trial, as deadlines for timely prosecution have run out. Since their arrest in late 2008, their case has been prolonged by numerous delaying tactics by the defense, including attempts to have their cases tried in the military court system as "acts of service." Alston reports that the impunity rate on these extrajudicial murders by security forces may be as high as 98.5 percent. • Mounting allegations that the President's intelligence service, the DAS, was put at the service of paramilitary leaders and narcotraffickers; used to spy on and intimidate Supreme Court justices, opposition politicians, journalists and human rights defenders; and employed in a campaign of sabotage and smears against political opponents. Prosecutors are alleging that the orders to have the DAS carry out wiretaps, surveillance and "political warfare" came from high up in the Colombian presidency, though the question of "what President Uribe knew, and when he knew it" remains unanswered. Meanwhile efforts to reform or dissolve the DAS are stalled in Colombia's Congress. • President Uribe's political coalition has also been hit by a scandal known in Colombia as "para-politics." This coalition has included dozens of political bosses from regions beyond the capital. Many are large landholders with ties to narcotrafficking, the same local leaders who created and fostered the brutal pro-government paramilitary groups that killed tens of thousands of non-combatants in the 1990s and early 2000s. Evidence, much of it from former paramilitary leaders, has brought about 300 criminal investigations against legislators, governors, mayors and other local officials, nearly all of them Alvaro Uribe's political supporters, who made common cause with the far-right warlords. To date, of the 278 congresspeople and senators elected in 2006, 68 are under official investigation, on trial, or convicted for paramilitary ties. Those embroiled in parapolitics include the President's cousin, Mario Uribe; the brother of his former foreign UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769638 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769638 Date: 08/31/2015 minister; and individuals whom the President had named to be Colombia's ambassadors to Chile, the Dominican Republic, and Canada. The Colombian prosecutors, investigators, witnesses and non-governmental organizations trying to uncover the truth about these abuses are working under conditions of great personal risk. They, too, are heroes and would benefit greatly from a public expression of concern about the cases they are investigating, and a reminder that their work is legitimate and important to U.S. interests in Colombia. At the same time, it is important to avoid appearing to endorse any candidate in the June 20 runoff elections. Between the first and second rounds of a country' s presidential election is a politically awkward time for a high-level official visit. Though President Uribe's former defense minister, Juan Manuel Santos, is the overwhelming favorite given his margin of success in the May 301first round of balloting over former Bogota mayor Antanas Mockus, it is necessary at this stage to convey a sense of balance and a willingness to work closely with whoever wins. As a result, any kind words for one candidate should be balanced by praise for the other. Finally, it would be helpful to remind the Colombian people that the United States supports a peaceful resolution of Bogota's worsening differences with Venezuela. While President Chavez' s behavior is a significant concern, it would be most unhelpful to be perceived on this trip as fanning the flames of conflict with Colombia — or playing into the Chavez rhetoric that the U.S. and Colombia have military aspirations in the region. Hope this memo, along with last week's copy of the TLHRC letter to Assistant Secretary Posner, are helpful and useful materials for the Secretary as she plans her trip.

Rocco Sad news John Ryan; Susan Mcnamara; Corrine Ebeling; Delano, Omorinsola; Claps, Boys home closing, but numbers don't tell full story By Burt Constable I Daily Herald Columnist Published: 6/3/2010 12:01 AM When the goal is turning around lives of young abused and neglected boys, filling out the scoresheet is more complicated than simply marking wins or losses. For the past 15 years, Ann G. Deuel has lived in Arlington Heights, but her heart has resided in Jamal Place, a three-story graystone at 1335 S. California Ave. in the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. As a founder and executive director of Jamal Place, Deuel can tell countless stories about the boys, ages 11 to 17, who have spent time in the group home and about the army of suburbanites from St. Charles, Naperville, Lake Zurich and Lisle who have volunteered, donated and served on the board to help those kids. Lots of people in that field have good things to say about Deuel and Jamal Place. But when the new fiscal year begins on July 1, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services will not renew its contract with Jamal Place, forcing those kids to go to other facilities. "To shut us down and deny kids this opportunity is unconscionable," says Deuel, as she takes a deep breath and dabs at her eyes in an attempt to keep her emotions in check. She and her staff operated last year through a $1,041,000 contract with DCFS to provide a group home for 10 wards of the state. They've carved out a wonderful reputation in 15 years, so what happened? The easy answer is that DCFS put the group home under a new performance-based contracting system that determined Jamal Place fell short of benchmarks for keeping kids from running away, requiring hospitalization or ending up in juvenile detention. "Taxpayers expect and deserve positive results in the children we serve," says DCFS spokesman Kendall Marlowe. Jamal Place simply didn't measure up in the areas the state measures. Because Illinois has trimmed the number of wards of the state from a high of 52,000 in 1997 to only 15,500, a much higher percentage of those kids have mental illnesses, substance abuse or other problems. Since the state measures an agency's performance by days that the kids are physically present in the home, Jamal Place, with its small population, got bad marks when a child was hospitalized for a mental-health issue or detained by a judge. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769639 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769639 Date: 08/31/2015 "We did what was clinically advisable for these children and we got dinged for it," says Brian Barclay, assistant executive director of Jamal Place. "We did what was in kids' best interest." There is no consideration given for "incremental improvements in youth behavior, which occur as trusting relationships develop," Deuel notes. "I wish they could find a way to measure the individual aspects." When compared with similar facilities, Jamal Place graded lower, Marlowe says, adding that it "isn't a happy day" when the state ends an agreement with a facility that has "good people" and has done "good work" in the past. He says DCFS did renew a contract with Deuel for a different transitional living facility that serves an older population. One of Jamal Place's "unfavorable" outcomes involves a kid who already had a criminal record when he came to the group home at age 14. Now 17, he says he ended up in juvenile court after he made a mistake by hanging with the wrong people on the day when he stole a woman's purse. "I've got a good relationship with the staff and residents. We did things as a family," says the teen, who now is living with a grandmother. "I love my grandmother, but I'd rather be at Jamal Place. I'm trying to do everything in my power to get back to Jamal Place." Intangibles aren't part of the bureaucratic process. There isn't a place on an evaluation form to give credit to Deuel and her staff for leading the effort that closed a local "crack house." There's no way to measure the improvements in a former resident that led him for the first time to sign "love" before his name on the Mother's Day card he sent Deuel this year. There's no scoresheet for the local gang leader who stopped preying on Jamal kids when he was confronted by Deuel and recognized her as the woman who gave him a Christmas present a few years earlier. The interview for this story is interrupted when that man calls Deuel, who is helping him find a legitimate job. "It is enormously frustrating to me that the attachment the boys develop with our staff members is not a 'measurable' outcome," Deuel says. "These are our children. Long after DCFS is done with these kids, our door is still open." Last weekend, many former residents came back to explain how Jamal Place helped them. On June 26, Jamal Place will celebrate its 15th anniversary with a picnic and walkathon in Douglas Park, across the street from the home. Deuel and her staff are hoping DCFS finds a way to give them more time, another year to continue its mission. "I've always maintained that God won't let us fail," says Deuel. "For 15 years, that's been the case, and now we've got this challenge."

David Ignatius's column today in the Washington Post, with detail on how Turkey thought it was encouraged by Obama in its initiative with Brazil on Iran and then felt the limb was cut off, among other things. I myself picked this up earlier from chatter among diplomats from Arab countries in DC. True or not, distorted or accurate, it is what the Arabs believe. Their view is that Obama will be reelected and there will be no progress at all in the Middle East for six years and they are planning accordingly—US influence at ebb tide.

At the best of times, an Israeli government that pursues the path to peace provides some intelligence, some minor advances in military technology, and a potential source of stabilizing military power that could help Arab states like Jordan. Even then, however, any actual Israeli military intervention in an Arab state could prove as destabilizing as beneficial. The fact is that the real motives behind America's commitment to Israel are moral and ethical. They are a reaction to the horrors of the Holocaust, to the entire history of Western anti-Semitism, and to the United States' failure to help German and European Jews during the period before it entered World War II. They are a product of the fact that Israel is a democracy that shares virtually all of the same values as the United States. The U.S. commitment to Israel is not one that will be abandoned. The United States has made this repeatedly clear since it first recognized Israel as a state, and it has steadily strengthened the scale of its commitments since 1967. The United States has provided Israel with massive amounts of economic aid and still provides enough military assistance to preserve Israel's military superiority over its neighbors. The United States has made it clear that any U.S. support for Arab-Israeli peace efforts must be based on options that preserve Israel's security, and its recent announcements that it will consider "extended regional deterrence" are code words for a U.S. commitment that could guard Israel, as well as its neighbors, against an Iranian nuclear threat. At the same time, the depth of America's moral commitment does not justify or excuse actions by an Israeli government that unnecessarily make Israel a strategic liability when it should remain an asset. It does not mean that the United States should extend support to an Israeli government when that government fails to credibly pursue peace with its neighbors. It does not mean that the United States has the slightest interest in supporting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, or that the United States should take a hard-line position on Jerusalem that would effectively make it a Jewish rather than a mixed city. It does not mean that the United States should be passive when Israel makes a series of major strategic blunders--such as persisting in the strategic bombing of Lebanon during the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, escalating its attack on Gaza long after it had achieved its key objectives, embarrassing the U.S. president by announcing the expansion of Israeli building programs in east Jerusalem at a critical moment in U.S. efforts to put Israeli-Palestinian peace talks back on track, or sending commandos to seize a Turkish ship in a horribly mismanaged effort to halt the "peace flotilla" going to Gaza. It is time Israel realized that it has obligations to the United States, as well as the United States to Israel, and that it become far more careful about the extent to which it test the limits of U.S. patience and exploits the support of American Jews. This does not mean taking a single action that undercuts Israeli security, but it does mean realizing that Israel should show enough discretion to reflect the fact that it is a tertiary U.S. strategic interest in a complex and demanding world. Israel's government should act on the understanding that the long-term nature of the U.S.-Israel strategic relationship will depend on Israel clearly and actively seeking peace with the Palestinians—the kind of peace that is in Israel's own strategic interests. Israelis should understand that the United States opposes expansion and retention of its settlements and its efforts to push Palestinians out of greater Jerusalem. Israeli governments should plan Israeli military actions that make it clear that Israel will use force only to the level actually required, that carefully consider humanitarian issues from the start, and that have a clear post-combat plan of action to limit the political and strategic impact of its use of force. And Israel should not conduct a high-risk attack on Iran in the face of the clear U.S. "red light" from both the Bush and Obama administrations. Israel should be sensitive to the fact that its actions directly affect U.S. strategic interests in the Arab and Muslim worlds, and it must be as sensitive to U.S. strategic concerns as the United States is to those of Israel. The United States does not need unnecessary problems in one of the most troubled parts of the world, particularly when Israeli actions take a form that does not serve Israel's own strategic interests. This Israeli government in particular needs to realize that as strong as U.S.-Israel ties may be, it is time to return to the kind of strategic realism exemplified by leaders like Yitzhak Rabin. No aspect of what happened this week off the coast of Gaza can be blamed on Israeli commandos or the Israel Defense Forces. Israel's prime minister and defense minister had full warning about the situation, and they knew the flotilla was deliberately designed as a political provocation to capture the attention of the world's media in the most negative way possible.

The IDF Detailed Its Violent Strategy In Advance. On 06.03.10, By Max Blumenthal Tel Aviv-Israel Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his senior ministers have attempted to blame army commanders for "the bungled raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla," according to the UK's Daily Telegraph. The AP reported that "Israel's bloody, bungled takeover of a Gaza-bound Turkish aid vessel is complicating US-led Mideast peace efforts." And according to Reuters, "Israeli military admits errors in bungled boarding." But was the raid really bungled? Did the Israeli military command and Netanyahu government have no clear strategy going in? Or was the violence they meted out against the flotilla activists deliberate and methodically planned? Statements by senior Israeli military commanders made in the Hebrew media days before the massacre revealed that the raid was planned over a week in advance by the Israeli military and was personally approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Ehud Barak. The elite Israeli commando unit known as Unit 13 was tasked with carrying out the mission and its role was known by the Israeli public well before the raid took place. Details of the plan show that the use of deadly force was authorized and calculated. The massacre of activists should not have been unexpected. On May 28, three days before the raid, top Israeli military officials revealed details of their strategy to Maariv, Israel's most widely circulated paper. The caption of the Maariv article reflected the military command's plan to use force: "On the way to violence; one of the boats is on its way." Here is a translation of relevant portions of the article: Maariv, 5/28/10 P. 4 Title: Head to Head in the Heart of the Sea Caption: On the way to violence; one of the boats is on its way." Subhead: The sea encounter that will occur at the end of the weekend is already planned detail by detail. From the moment that the ships will pass the "red line" on their way to Gaza, the fighters of Unit 13 will take control and transfer 800 passengers from their boats back to where they came from. And special arrest units were set up. From the body of article: This operation was approved by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Barak and will be led by the commander of the Navy, Lieutenant Colonel Eliezer Maron, who is nicknamed "Cheney." If the people aboard the boats will not agree to turn around, the operation will transfer to the stage of force. "We are afraid that there will be a terror attack by the boats," said a high ranking officer. "If terrorists have gotten on the boats or if there is an UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 intention to use hot weapons against our forces, we7will use full seriousness and caution.

"- • - r the gathering of the activists' "fighting tools," an acknowledghlent by the After the initial violent stages, the pibn called-"fo Israeli military that the, saYists might try to repel its commandos once they forced their way on the ships. The plan to search for "sabbiage materials" also foreshadowed the IDF's post-raid propaganda campaign. An alternative plan that would have been likely to avert violence could have been set into motion. The Israeli Navy could have done what it had in the past and hijacked the aid ships without boarding them, then towed them to shore. However, the Rambo-style plan concocted by Netanyahu, his top aides and the Naval commander with the unfortunate nickname of "Cheney" made the killing of activists likely, if not inevitable. Why didn't Israel's leaders choose to deal with the flotilla in a more judicious fashion? Were they that stupid, or just crazy? From the details of the plan it appears that Netanyahu and his cohorts had envisioned Entebbe Part Deux, a daring antiterror raid that would lift the sinking morale of the Israeli public while intimidating Iran and the Arab world. Though Israel may be more isolated than ever as a result of the massacre, the Netanyahu administration is reaping considerable political benefits at home. The day after the massacre, spontaneous celebrations broke out in Ashdod, Tel Aviv, and throughout the country, bringing together right-wing elements with everyday Israelis. Over a thousand Israelis gathered tonight outside the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv to rally against the Turkish government and express their support for the raid. Multiple demonstrators including one man who has lived in Israel for 60 years told me, "What Turkey [the sponsor of the Mavi Marmara boat] has done is great. I have never seen this country more united in my entire life. We are all standing together now." (Video coming soon). Israeli newscasters are routinely using the term "mechabel," or terrorist, to refer to the flotilla activists, while the violence that broke out on the deck of the Mavi Marmara is called "the lynch." (Nevermind that zero commandos were hung and nine activists were killed, including an American citizen who was shot in the head four times.) No evidence is required to support claims in the Israeli media. The public desperately wants to believe that its government is right, so much so that Israel's media is not even making a token effort to challenge the increasingly hysterical press releases disseminated by the IDF press office every few hours. Hanin Zoabi, a Palestinian-Israeli member of the Knesset who was on the Mavi Marmara, was physically accosted in the Knesset by fellow legislators for attempting to relate her experience aboard the flotilla. MK Miri Regev of Likud called her a "traitor," while Yoel Hasson of Kadima, a supposedly centrist party, denounced Zoabi as a "terrorist." An Israeli Facebook group devoted to inciting Zoabi's assassination has gathered 600 members in just a day and a half. In the meantime, Israel's Interior Minster Eli Yishai is "looking into" means of stripping Zoabi of her citizenship. This Friday, anti-occupation activists expect to encounter intense violence from the Israeli Army and Border Police at the weekly demonstrations in Sheikh Jarrah and Nebi Salah. "In this atmosphere, you can expect with pretty reasonable certainty that the soldiers Will go crazy," a veteran of the Sheikh Jarrah protest movement told me. With two more ships on their way towards Gaza with aid for the besieged civilian population, the Israeli military and Netanyahu administration are not wasting time in hatching a new strategy to stop them. Once again, the plan calls for violence and possibly more death. "Next time we'll use more force," a top Naval commander told the Jerusalem Post. "We will have to come prepared in the future as if it was a war." Washington Post The U.S. needs to keep nudging Israel on a Gaza fix By David Ignatius Friday, June 4,2010; A19 The Obama administration, caught between two allies during this week of crisis, has signaled Israel and Turkey that the blockade of Gaza should be loosened to allow more humanitarian aid to reach the Palestinian population there. From the first news early Monday of the Israeli commando attack on a flotilla of Turkish relief ships, the White House has been trying to balance the interests of two prickly friends. The immediate aim, said a senior official, has been to "defuse the electricity of the moment" by freeing the ships' passengers and passing a U.N. resolution calling (in fuzzy language) for an investigation of the raid. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 Beyond crisis management, administration officials have begun to urge Israel to use this incident to untangle the Gaza mess. U.S. officials hope Israel will take action on its own, before international condemnation grows any louder or another relief convoy tests the blockade. "The humanitarian aperture is not wide enough," argues the U.S. official. "We need to convince the Israelis that not everything can be made into a weapon." The Obama team recognizes that Israel will act in its interests, but it wants Jerusalem to consider U.S. interests, as well. The administration has communicated at a senior level its fear that the Israelis sometimes "care about their equities, but not about ours." This cautionary message -- that Israel must act as a more reliable and responsible partner -- may be the most important one conveyed this week. One issue on which the administration believes Israel would benefit from a more farsighted view is the investigation of the incident. Israel has argued that this is a purely internal matter for the Israeli military, whose operations to enforce the Gaza blockade were lawful and appropriate. But by defying calls for an international inquiry, the Israelis will compound their isolation. "They have an image problem, a perception problem," says the U.S. official. The White House hopes the Israelis will embrace some mechanism for an international probe -- perhaps a French proposal for an inquiry by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Such a move would be in Israel's interest, the administration believes. The trickiest problem in the first hours of the crisis was dealing with Turkey, whose leaders treated the commando raid as a pirate attack on Turkish citizens. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Gen. Jim Jones, the national security adviser, met with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. Then came a lengthy phone call between President Obama and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Obama told Erdogan that "we need to find a solution" for the Gaza humanitarian problem, according to a U.S. official. Erdogan is said to have agreed with the president that a good relationship between Israel and Turkey was crucial for regional stability -- and that Turkey didn't want to see any further degradation. The Obama administration deserves credit for its repair work in the first days after the Gaza attack. But this is another example where the administration has been reacting to events that it should have tried better to control. The Gaza confrontation has been developing for weeks; administration officials reportedly cautioned Israel about provocative moves, but not emphatically enough to make a difference. U.S. officials were blindsided about the commando operation partly because they don't spy on a key ally. Similarly, the Obama White House has been too reactive in its relationship with Turkey. A glaring example of this diplomatic drift is the Turkish mediation effort with Iran to revive an October plan for enrichment of uranium abroad. Davutoglu thought he had Obama's blessing for his shuttle diplomacy, and the White House was given frequent updates. But when Turkey and Brazil announced they had clinched the deal, the administration did the diplomatic equivalent of shrugging its shoulders -- and went ahead with plans for U.N. sanctions. One of the perverse secrets of Middle East diplomacy is the importance of riding several horses at once. In the heyday of Henry Kissinger's shuttle mediation, the Americans were the supreme masters of playing both sides of the street. Obama has been talking about engagement and mediation but without much to show for it. Instead, the administration has been responding to events rather than driving them. That won't do. As former ambassador Chas. W. Freeman says in his collection of aphorisms, "The Diplomat's Dictionary": "If you're not at the table, you're on the menu." Published on The New Republic (http://www.tnr.com) Operation Make the World Hate Us The assault on the 'Mavi Marmara' was wrong, and a gift to Israel's enemies. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 • Leon Wieseltier • June 3, 2010 I Israel does not need enemies: it has itself. Or more precisely: it has its government. The Netanyahu-Barak government has somehow found a way to lose the moral high ground, the all-important war for symbols and meanings, to Hamas. That is quite an accomplishment. Operation Make the World Hate Us, it might have been called. I leave it to others to make the operational criticisms of the Israeli action, and will say only that even my amateurish understanding of the tactical challenge posed by the interdiction of the boats suffices to suggest that there were other ways to do this. I also will not pretend to a perfect grasp of what happened on board the Mavi Marmara. I have pondered the videos that both sides have released, and concluded that the Israeli soldiers sliding down that rope had no intention of attacking the people on board and that the people on board had no way of being confident of this. I cannot expect Palestinians and their supporters to believe the best about the Israeli army. (This is what Israeli hardliners call "the restoration of deterrence.") I do not doubt that some of the activists on the ship welcomed a confrontation with Israel, but the Israelis should not have obliged them. In any event, what took place on that deck looks to me like a tragic misunderstanding. Yet there was no reason to think that anything else would have transpired. The important point is that the killing of civilians on the Mavi Marmara — I understand that they were "armed" with metal bars and a knife, but still they were civilians, and soldiers are trained to respond unlethally to the recklessness of a mob—cannot be extenuated by reference to "asymmetrical warfare" and Israel's right to defend itself. This was not warfare, at least of the physical sort. Israel was not under attack. A headline in The Washington Post yesterday reported that "Israel says Free Gaza Movement poses threat to Jewish state." Such a claim is absurd. It is true that the movement has grown in recent years, and is now troublesome to Israel's policy in Gaza; and it is also true that the Turkish charity that sponsored the "Freedom Flotilla" has ties to Islamicist groups. But this is hardly what Israel likes to call, in the Iranian context, and there quite plausibly, an "existential threat." The extension of the definition of a security threat to include hostile activities that have little or no bearing upon security is an ominous development. It is also the inevitable consequence of Benjamin Netanyahu's cunning pronouncement last year that Israel is now endangered by "the Iran threat, the missile threat, and the threat I call the Goldstone threat." The equivalence was morally misleading, and therefore dangerous. Ideological warfare is not military warfare. I have studied the entirety of the Goldstone Report, and whereas I do not doubt (and wrote in this magazine in the days before Goldstone) that Operation Cast Lead caused the unjustifiable death of non-combatants, I also do not doubt that the Goldstone Report, which was nastily indifferent to Israel's security predicament and to the ethical challenges of Israeli self-defense, was an instrument in a broad campaign of delegitimation against Israel—and yet the threat of delegitimation is not like the threat of destruction. It is different in kind. A commando operation is not an appropriate response to an idea. "This was no Love Boat," Netanyahu said yesterday. "It was a hate boat." He is right, but so what? The threat of delegitimation is not a military problem and it does not have a military solution. And the attempt to give it a military solution has now had the awful consequence of making the threat still greater. The assault on the Mavi Marmara was a stupid gift to the delegitimators. You do not have to be a general to grasp these distinctions. In fact, judging by Israel's recent history, it might help not to be one. But the militarization of the Israeli government's understanding of Israel's situation—this has been the most sterile period for diplomacy in all of Israel's history—is not all that led to the debacle at sea. Rules of military engagement that allow soldiers to fire on political activists (I leave aside the question of their humanitarianism for a moment) may signify something still deeper and even more troubling. It is hard not to conclude from this Israeli action, and also from other Israeli actions in recent years, that the Israeli leadership simply does not care any longer about what anybody thinks. It does not seem to care about what even the United States—its only real friend, even in the choppy era of Obama—thinks. This is not defiance, it is despair. The Israeli leadership seems to have given up any expectation of fairness and sympathy from the world. It is behaving as if it believes, in the manner of the most perilous Jewish pessimism, that the whole world hates the Jews, and that is all there is to it. This is the very opposite of the measured and empirical attitude, the search for strategic opportunity, the enlistment of imagination in the service of ideals and interests, that is required for statecraft. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 The complication—the one that deprives anybody who acknowledges it of membership in any of the gangs of commentary—is that there is a partial basis in the actually existing world for a degree of Israeli pessimism. There are leaders, states, organizations, and peoples whose hostility to the Jewish state is irrational and absolute and in some cases murderous. Things are said critically about Israel that wildly burst the bounds of thoughtful criticism. The language in which Israel is described by some governments and international organizations is lurid and grotesque and foul. Anti-Semitic tropes—the conspiracy theory about the Jews, most conspicuously— are regularly encountered in otherwise respectable places. The analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that absolves the Palestinians of any significant role in it is widespread. I do not see how any of this can be denied, or shunted aside, or explained entirely in terms of Israeli behavior. But it is emphatically not the whole picture, except for those Israelis and Jews whose political interests and ideological inclinations prefer it to be the whole picture. For there are forces in Israel, and in its government, that have a use for Jewish hopelessness. There is a verse in Numbers that Jewish pessimists like to cite: "the people shall dwell alone, and not be reckoned among the nations." It is Balaam's divinely inspired description of the Israelites—Balaam, who came to curse and stayed to bless. But I have always regarded it as a curse, this promise of loneliness. I have heard it intoned lachrymosely and proudly—in our time Jewish pride has a disturbingly parasitic relationship with Jewish lachrymosity—all my life. It chills me to the bone. It is a locution for prophets, not prime ministers. The Jews cannot dwell alone. In fact, their history shows that they never did dwell alone. It is not a tale of insularity and isolation. The apartness of the Jews was never a complete secession from their environment. The engagement of the Jews with the world was a matter not only of practical necessity, but also of theological conviction. And not even the darkest and most dire adversity succeeded in driving them entirely into themselves. When, in the modern era, the Zionists concluded, quite correctly, that the Jews must extract themselves from anti-Semitic societies and establish a society of their own, a sovereign one, in the land of Israel, it was in part to "normalize" them by making them "reckoned among the nations," and therefore like other nations. Zionism was a reversal of Balaam's phony blessing. The state was not supposed to be a bunker, even if it had enemies. But Netanyahu is a creature of the bunker. He talks about peace, but not like a man who hungers for it. He takes no steps toward peace except as the consequence of a crisis—a crisis not with the Palestinians but with the Americans. He liturgically intones his warnings, some of them true, about the external dangers facing Israel, and mistakes brutishness for toughness, and offers nothing. He is a gray, muddling, reactive figure. His preferred strategy for his country is: one quiet week after another unto eternity. His problem is that there are not many quiet weeks. But about those activists: a great deal of bathetic rubbish has been written about them. Insofar as they were bringing food and medicine to Gaza, they were humanitarians; but insofar as they were striking a blow for the government of Gaza, they were anti-humanitarians. A real "Freedom Flotilla" would have sailed for Gaza to liberate it from its rulers. For Hamas stifles Gaza from within even as Israel stifles it from without. It oppresses the Palestininans who live under its sway and has brought them ruin. When did it become progressive to support a theocracy? Consider the case of Henning Mankell, the Swedish writer of thrillers (and the son-in-law of Ingmar Bergman) who was a passenger on one of the boats in the "Freedom Flotilla." In his youth he took part in anti-Vietnam and anti-apartheid demonstrations, presumably in the spirit of secular reason. For a while he lived in Norway and participated in the activities of a radical Maoist party: let us call that secular unreason. Now he does the work of Hamas and its mullahs. Last year Mankell attended the Palestine Festival of Literature in east Jerusalem—or would have attended it, if the Israeli authorities had not idiotically closed it down. When he returned to Sweden, he wrote that "there is a straight line between Soweto, Sharpeville, and what recently happened [I presume he was referring to the war] in Gaza." And: "Is it strange that some [Palestinians] in pure desperation, when they cannot see any other way out, decide to become suicide bombers? Not really. Maybe it is strange that there are not more of them." And: "The state of Israel in its current form has no future. Moreover, those who advocate a two-state solution have not got it right. ... The question is whether it will be possible to talk sense into the Israelis in order for them to willingly accept the end of their own apartheid state." This man has rights, at sea and on land, but he can hardly be lauded as a champion of peace and reconciliation. You are not for co-existence if you advocate the disappearance of one of the terms. (Consider, analogously, the recent adventures of Noam Chomsky in the region. It was widely noted that the Israelis, again idiotically, turned him away at the Allenby Bridge. It was less widely noted that a few days later a reporter for The New York Times UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769651 Date: 08/31/2015 accidentally discovered him in Lebanon at the home of Nabil Qaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah, which is not what Voltaire had in mind.) And yet the screw must be turned again: the anti-Israeli virulence of Henning Mankell and his maritime comrades does not make Israel's assault on the Mavi Marmara more just or more wise. Now the Israeli government may find it impossible not to modify or even to lift the blockade of Gaza—an outcome that no decent person can decry, as long as Hamas does not exploit the respite to acquire weapons or what it needs to make them, and the past is not encouraging in this regard. Netanyahu will do what he can to get past the mess, hoping that the approach of the midterm elections in the United States will rescue him from the pressure, and the deadening hand of the status quo will be back. And Israel will be known to more and more people—in a wounding misrepresentation—mainly for cruelty. Leon Wieseltier is the literary editor of The New Republic.

Kristofs column could have been written by the peacemaking Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin or Israel's founder and first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, if they were alive today. Mr. Rabin told me shortly before he was assassinated by a right-wing Israeli extremist that Israel, while pursuing peace, must never play into the hands of Palestinian terrorists, who would try to sabotage the talks with attacks intended to provoke disproportionate retaliation. Yes, Israel would fight the terrorists, but not the Palestinian people. And it would certainly not initiate bloody conflict. Mr. Ben-Gurion told me that Israel would regret maintaining control of Arab-inhabited regions and another people after the 1967 Six-Day War. He said the war would never end as long as Israel occupied the area, an occupation he felt was both strategically and morally wrong. And if succeeding right-wing governments had taken his advice, the war might well have been over years ago, preventing Hamas from ruling Gaza, giving Iran no excuse for threatening Israel with nuclear destruction, and making life much easier for the United States. The Israeli assault on the pro-Palestinian flotilla is a symbolic result of the tragic survival-imperiling refutation by Israeli right-wingers of the visionary views of their country's two greatest leaders.

This conference is an international gathering that focuses on maternal health and will include an estimated 3,000 representatives from governments, civil society, multilateral organizations, and the private sector. The aim of the conference is to generate political commitment and financial investment for fulfilling Millennium Development Goal 5, which pledges a three-quarter reduction in maternal mortality and universal access to reproductive health by 2015. The conference is one of several international gatherings this year that will include a focus on maternal and child health (MCH). As you know, this issue will also feature at the G-8, where the Canadians are offering a flagship initiative on MCH, and at the Millennium Development Goals Summit in September, where the UN Secretary General is sponsoring a Joint Effort on Women and Children's Health. The US will be represented at the Women Deliver conference by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, Undersecretary of State Maria Otero, Ambassador Melanne Verveer, and a host of other USG participants. Please note: You recently recorded a video message that will open the conference. The full script is below. SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS • For too long and in too many places, women have received inadequate care when they give birth. As a result, childbirth remains a leading cause of death and injury to women worldwide. • The United States has elevated the issue of maternal health in our development work through the Global Health Initiative, a $63 billion dollar proposal to help countries improve health outcomes through strengthened health systems and integrated service delivery, with a particular focus on the health of women, newborns and children. This conference—along with other international gatherings this year, including the G-8 and the Millennium Development Goals Summit in September—presents a unique opportunity to reinvigorate our commitment to maternal health. • When women prosper, their families and communities prosper. Women deliver for the world – now the world needs to deliver for them. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND The theme of this year's Women Deliver conference is "Delivering Solutions for Girls and Women," with a focus on political, economic, social/cultural, and technological solutions. Conference organizers plan to emphasize the following messages:1) The Millennium Development Goals will not be achieved without investing in women.2) There is just enough time, if the world commits funding now, to achieve Millennium Development Goal 5— an additional US $10 billion annually by 2010 and US $20 billion by 2015.Women Deliver was launched at a conference in London in 2007. Jill Sheffield is the President of the organization. FINAL VIDEO SCRIPT WOMEN DELIVER CONFERENCEWASHINGTON, DC I am delighted to welcome all of you to this conference and to thank you for the work you are doing to put maternal health at the top of our development agenda. Your commitment to this issue has raised awareness and inspired action around the world. We know that women represent our greatest opportunity for progress in this century. If the potential of women is fully developed, everyone benefits. And this can't be done without improving maternal health. But for too long and in too many places, women have received inadequate care when they give birth. As a result, childbirth remains a leading cause of death and injury to women worldwide. The United States has elevated this issue in our development work through the Global Health Initiative, a 63 billion dollar proposal to help countries improve health outcomes through strengthened health systems, with a particular focus on the health of women, newborns and children. We commend the Canadian government for focusing much-needed attention to this issue by offering a flagship initiative on maternal and child health at the upcoming G-8 meeting in Muskoka. The US also congratulates the United Nations Secretary General for convening governments, civil society, multilateral organizations, foundations and corporations to engage in a much-needed global effort to promote women's and children's health. These efforts—and this conference— present a unique opportunity to reinvigorate our commitment to maternal health, because when women prosper, their families and communities prosper. Women deliver for the world – now the world needs to deliver for them. Thank you.

"I was not contacted by anyone in the administration about this," said Michael B. Oren, Israel's ambassador to the United States. Mr. Oren said he was not aware that anybody else in the Israeli government had been called and was seeking clarification from the administration. A spokesman for the State Department, Philip J. Crowley, said the United States had "extensive contacts" with Israel and Turkey before the flotilla set sail. "We expressed to the Israelis the need for caution and restraint in dealing with civilians, including American citizens," he said.

Germany, Russia: We support new Iran nuke sanction By VERENA SCHMITT-ROSCHMANN, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 58 mins ago MESEBERG, Germany – Germany and Russia declared Saturday that the five world powers negotiating with Iran support a fresh set of international sanctions, and Chancellor Angela Merkel said they could pass soon. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said at a news conference with Merkel that "agreement on the sanctions exists," despite the fact that "nobody wants sanctions." "We hope the voice of the international community will be heard by the Iranian leadership," Medvedev said through the official German translator. Merkel said sanctions could be passed by the United Nations Security Council "in the near future." Play Video Play Video "I am very happy, that we can stand here jointly today and say that this is a joint position not only of the European Union, the United States of America and Russia, but also of China," Merkel said. "That is an important step the international community has made here." Moscow has recently joined the other four U.N. Security Council members — the United States, China, Britain and France — to tentatively back a draft fourth set of U.N. sanctions against Iran.

Medvedev said it is unacceptable "that one continues to act irresponsibly. One has to move toward the partners of the international community and it is only in this way that complicated issues can be solved." Russia's president arrived Friday for a two-day visit to Germany to discuss a range of issues with Merkel. The West is against an expansion of nuclear nations and suspects Iran is enriching uranium to build a nuclear warhead. Tehran denies this and insists on its right to a peaceful nuclear power program, but has frustrated the West over its failure to prove it.

We are particularly concerned by the potential for further violence and repression during the coming days, especially around the anniversary of the Islamic Republic's founding on 11 February. We call on the Government of Iran to live up to its international human rights obligations, to end its abuses against its own people, to hold accountable those who have committed the abuses and to release those who are exercising their rights.

He was 77. He had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. In 1974, Murtha became the first combat veteran of the Vietnam War elected to Congress. He wielded considerable clout for two decades as a leader of the House subcommittee that oversees Pentagon spending. But frustration over the Iraq war led him to call for an immediate pullout of U.S. troops in 2005. Murtha's congressional career was clouded by questions about his ethics from the Abscam corruption probe in 1980 to more recent investigations into the special-interest spending known as earmarks and the raising of cash for election campaigns.

Shaun apparently had a much more pessimistic view of what Cameron would do than all of our Parliament watchers, who felt confident from the get-go that he would support the deal. PM Brown praised all parties involved; stressed the need to adhere to the dates laid out in the agreement several times; welcomed the supportive Westminster interventions during the Q and A of SDLP Mark Durkan and DUP Peter Robinson and Nigel Dods, but pointedly expressed hope that other parties (read UUP, whose MP was either not present or simply didn't speak) would express their support as soon as possible. As expected, David Cameron praised the agreement and all parties; raised the desire that all parties (read SDLP and UUP) be given time to review the document; and pointedly asked the PM what issues that were not expressly mentioned in the agreement would be addressed by the Working Group -- to which Brown responded, "all the issues outstanding from St Andrew's." Cameron and Brown praised the U.S. role, singling you out. Brown also twice referred to your offer to host an investment conference. Overall, nothing concerning from the Tories...on the contrary, full support, a request that the minority parties have a chance to review and some questions on outstanding issues. UUP MLAs meet tonight to review. Note: DUP interventions were balanced.. .Dods raised parades and decommissioning as reminder of outstanding issues, but stressed desire of all parties "not to go back" to the bad old days. Minor dig at previous Sinn Fein "threats." Robinson stressed cooperation in the negotiations. Struck a statesmanlike tone.

Within hours of the Israeli assault on an aid ship bound for Gaza, while the dead and wounded were still being evacuated from the scene, Israel's deputy foreign minister delivered a verbal broadside that became his nation's public line: The flotilla organizers are terrorist sympathizers, they ambushed Israeli forces, and they are responsible for what followed. Even so adept a communicator as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in a prepared statement Wednesday that attacked Israel's critics as much as it defended Israel's actions, could manage only one sentence of regret for civilian casualties. Why, even to its friends, has Israel sounded so shrill, even tone deaf? Where are the grief and sadness that Israelis ought to feel about a military operation gone awry? The French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy expressed anger with the tendency of some Israeli leaders to believe that "they are alone in the world and will always be blamed, and to act accordingly." Israel's friends know that the country has a case to make. But by hunkering down in selfjustification, Israel has confused that case. And now the jury of world public opinion, comprising at least as many friends as foes, has stopped listening. At the United Nations, speaker after speaker condemned Israel's action, and even the United States joined in a harsh statement of condemnation. Normally pro-Israel editorial writers added to the chorus of ostracism. Israel has long seen itself as the Alamo, a fortress under siege. Decades ago, a song titled "The Entire World is Against Us" hit the Israeli pop charts. At the time, there was some truth to the words: Arab states rejected Israel's existence. An Arab economic boycott persuaded major companies in Europe and Asia to decline to do business in Israel. Trade with many countries had to be conducted through third parties. Indeed, Israel has faced recurring threats to its security and existence, a reality reflected in a maxim I heard often during my time as U.S. ambassador there early this decade: Israel goes to sleep with memories of the Holocaust and wakes up to the Arab-Israeli conflict. In this context, the nation's military power was seen as a necessary response. And in turn, Israel's narrative portrayed the country as a David facing an Arab Goliath. Although the 1967 war changed this reality, Israel's narrative never really caught up. Newly demonstrated military superiority and deepening ties with the United States provided a measure of security the country had not enjoyed before. Egypt's President Anwar Sadat was the first Arab leader to recognize this new strategic reality, and in 1979, he made peace with Israel. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769717 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769717 Date: 08/31/2015 But even as the outdated David vs. Goliath theme lingered in the minds of many Israelis, among other segments of the population a new, religious-national narrative that centered on settling and holding all of Eretz Israel was taking hold. Even though settlements complicated Israel's relations with the Palestinians, and even though Israel had evacuated the Sinai settlements to make peace with Egypt -- a move that vitiated the argument that settlements were required for security -- activists such as Ariel Sharon continued to argue that they enhanced security. For a while, conditions allowed this new narrative to take root: The Palestine Liberation Organization was busy attacking Israel from Jordan, Lebanon and the United Nations and pursuing a tactical moderation designed to lull Israel into complacency. But soon this reality, too, began to change. The PLO decided in 1988 to officially support a two-state solution to the conflict and entered into dialogue with the United States. In 1991, Arab states participated in multilateral negotiations with Israel on water, the environment, economic development and regional security. Arab and Israeli business leaders met at international conferences. Israel's diplomatic isolation eased as China, India and others established formal ties, and Israeli liaison offices opened in Morocco and Arab states in the Persian Gulf. In 1994, Jordan made peace, removing the security justification for Israeli settlements in the West Bank. And in 2002, Arab states announced an "Arab peace initiative" offering peace and security in return for Israel's withdrawal from lands taken in the 1967 war. But the Palestinian intifada put a brake on these developments, ushering in a decade of violence. As Palestinian terrorists attacked not only soldiers and settlers in the occupied territories, but also civilians in Israeli cities, the Israeli storyline of the 1950s -- David vs. Goliath -- revived. I arrived in Israel as the U.S. ambassador in 2001, right after the first Palestinian suicide bombing, and discussed these issues often with then-Prime Minister Sharon, usually in the context of the choices Israel made in dealing with terrorism. Sharon believed that a strong and unyielding military response was all that was needed to persuade Palestinians to stop the intifada. A terrorist attack in Tel Aviv would often lead him to impose a closure on Gaza, preventing the movement of people and goods. A typical conversation with Sharon on this subject went something as follows: I would suggest that the closure on Gaza would be seen by the media and even friendly governments as collective punishment, would shift the media's story line from Palestinian violence to Israel's reaction and could even drive Palestinians hurt by the closure into the terrorist camp. Sharon would reply that his responsibility was to protect Israelis, that the Gaza closure was designed to prevent further attacks and that the media were to blame for distorting reality. His underlying point was clear: Any impact on Israel's image and on the long-term possibility of a widened conflict was outweighed by the need to prevent the next suicide bombing. Whatever the consequences of its actions, Israel would not apologize for defending itself. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769717 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769717 Date: 08/31/2015 Netanyahu would echo this refrain almost a decade later, after years marked not only by the intifada but by an Israeli decision to build a security barrier. The decade saw a brutal war in Lebanon in 2006, sparked by Hezbollah's kidnapping and killing of Israeli soldiers and ended by Israel's destruction of Lebanese civilian infrastructure and significant civilian casualties. The decade saw Hamas's election victory in 2006, its violent takeover of Gaza in 2007, its unrelenting rocket attacks against Israel in 2008 and Israel's massive response, again involving great numbers of civilian casualties and the destruction of infrastructure. By decade's end, a frustrated Israel had sealed off and blockaded Gaza to try to stem the flow of arms to Hamas, but because of the worsening humanitarian situation there, it was losing the battle for international legitimacy. Narratives, as self-justifications, do little to explain the complexities, ironies and paradoxes of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In the early 1980s, while I was assigned to the American Embassy in Tel Aviv, I met a Palestinian nationalist figure in Gaza who was unrelentingly opposed to the Israeli occupation. He shocked me one day when he said he also admired Israel. After a near-fatal car accident in Gaza, his son had been evacuated to one of Israel's leading hospitals, where doctors saved his life. My Palestinian contact hated the Israel of the occupation, but he admired the Israel that was blind to the nationality of a boy in need of care. When an Israeli military plan goes awry and civilians are killed -- as happened last week off the shores of Gaza -- should Israel's narrative take in the human dimension? Should it express empathy for those affected by the conflict and by Israeli military actions? Marla Braverman, an editor of Azure, an Israeli neoconservative journal, thinks not. In the current issue, she writes that despite a longtime tendency toward self-effacement, "Israel must learn to adopt a clear, unapologetic stance befitting a sovereign state." The fact is, however, that sovereign states make mistakes, and they apologize. Sovereign states rely not only on military might and insistent rhetoric to defend their people, but also on diplomacy and values of empathy and understanding. Sovereign states can be strong while fostering a narrative of caring about the consequences of their policies. In the aftermath of the flotilla fiasco, it is not just Israel's military tactics and its blockade of Gaza that need a thorough reexamination. Its narrative does, too. A dose of empathy might be a place to start. Israel will not break by military force and tough rhetoric alone the political and moral double standards by which the world judges its actions. But it can make its case better by tempering force with diplomacy, by caring as much about the humanitarian distress among Palestinians as it does about humanitarian causes elsewhere in the world, and by developing a storyline infused with the moral and ethical standards by which Israelis judge their own behavior.

Awareness of Haiti relief efforts is high in Europe: majorities of Britons (66%), French (92%), Germans (85%), Italians (85%), and Spaniards (70%) have heard at least a fair amount about the earthquake and relief effort in Haiti. Few in these five countries say their own country contributed the most to earthquake relief. In France, where early editorials were most critical of the U.S., only a quarter say that their country has done the most to aid Haitian relief (Box, next page).

Public opinion among those who have heard about the Haiti earthquake reflects this more positive take. West Europeans with a definite opinion volunteer the United States as contributing the most to earthquake relief in Haiti, though a third or more in Britain, Spain, and Germany are unsure (Figure 1). Haiti Aid Has Not Boosted U.S. Image West Europeans remain generally positive toward the U.S. (Figure 2, next page), but their overall impressions are not significantly influenced by U.S. assistance to Haiti.

Majorities in Great Britain (77%), Italy (79%), Germany (86%), and France (72%) and half of Spaniards (52%) think the United States aids in disaster relief around the world. West Europeans who perceive the U.S. as generous with its disaster aid are more likely to have a positive view of the U.S. European Publics Satisfied with Their Own Country's Level of Aid Among those aware of the Haiti earthquake, most are satisfied with their country's contributions to the earthquake relief effort in Haiti, but would be open to some additional financial assistance for the reconstruction effort. When asked if their government should contribute more money to Haiti, majorities in France (80%), Spain (74%), and Italy (60%) and half of Britons (53%) agree. French Generous With Help for Haiti, Praise for U.S. The French stand out in Europe in terms of being concerned and willing to help their former colony. An overwhelming majority (92%) have heard or read about the earthquake and the relief effort, including 65 percent who have heard a great deal. Large majorities also show a willingness to give more assistance funds and take in refugees. A majority (63%) recognizes the United States as the prime contributor to the relief effort and 80 percent say Washington has done a good job. Helping refugees by allowing them to immigrate is much more controversial. Seven-in-ten French (72%) and Spanish (73%) say they would be willing to accept refugees, while majorities in Britain (63%) and Italy (71%) are unwilling to accept refugees. Figure 2.

Congressman McGovern also strongly encouraged the Secretary to meet with representatives of those organizations and individuals being threatened, with a particularly effort to reach out to and invite the Bishops of Tumaco (Naritio), Barrancabermeja/Medio Magdalena (Santander), and we would now add Putumayo, since the Colombian Catholic Church just advised us yesterday of increased death threats against religious workers there. In addition, we recommended inviting Monserior Hector Fabio Henao, director of Pastoral Social, at the Archdiocese in UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769736 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769736 Date: 08/31/2015 Bogota, who represents all the pastoral work of the Church throughout the country, as well as representatives from the Mennonite and Lutheran churches, in particular. While in Colombia, the most important thing the Secretary can do is avoid effusive praise for President Alvaro Uribe, who leaves office in August. Inside Colombia, the visit by the Secretary is being described as focusing solely on the free trade agreement and continuing support of the counterdrug strategy/Plan Colombia. Without changes in the human rights situation and the culture of impunity, it is unlikely that anything the Secretary might say or do will alter the equation on Capitol Hill regarding the trade agreement. It should be noted that the October 2008 GAO report on the counter-drug operations in Colombia concluded that U.S. assistance was successful in increasing security in parts of the country, but a failure in the areas of counter-narcotics (GAO-09-71) , and a subsequent April 2009 USAID evaluation on U.S. aid for Plan Colombia for illegal crop reduction and Colombian counternarcotics policies actually contribute to increased coca production. The Colombian president has been a solid backer of U.S. policy and U.S. interests in the region, and has achieved some important improvements in the country's security situation. It is important to recognize that, but to do so without repeating the tone of Defense Secretary Gates' April visit, in which he called Uribe a "great hero" and failed even to mention any concerns. These concerns are of critical importance, and while the Secretary need not list them all, at least some deserve public acknowledgement — some recognition that it is important to the United States that Colombia, including the current government and its successor, show the necessary political will to deal with them: A sharp rise in alleged military killings of civilians. In many cases, these are so-called "false positives": non• combatants murdered and later presented as members of armed groups killed in combat. These, notes UN Special Rapporter for Extrajudicial Executions Philip Alston, "began occurring with a disturbing frequency across Colombia from 2004." Citing prosecutors' and NGOs' reports, Alston indicates that Colombia's security forces may have killed 1,486 civilians during the first six years of Alvaro Uribe's presidency. Alston notes that the Defense Ministry only began to address the situation after the media broke the story of the false-positives and the subsequent negative publicity and horrified public outcry. The prosecution of "false positives" is moving with excruciating slowness. In perhaps the most notorious case — the murders of about twenty young men from the poor Bogota suburb of Soacha — nearly all of the accused soldiers and officers have been released from prison , pending trial, as deadlines for timely prosecution have run out. Since their arrest in late 2008, their case has been prolonged by numerous delaying tactics by the defense, including attempts to have their cases tried in the military court system as "acts of service." Alston reports that the impunity rate on these extrajudicial murders by security forces may be as high as 98.5 percent. Mounting allegations that the President's intelligence service, the DAS, was put at the service of paramilitary leaders and narcotraffickers; used to spy on and intimidate Supreme Court justices, opposition politicians, journalists and human rights defenders; and employed in a campaign of sabotage and smears against political opponents. Prosecutors are alleging that the orders to have the DAS carry out wiretaps, surveillance and "political warfare" came from high up in the Colombian presidency , though the question of "what President Uribe knew, and when he knew it" remains unanswered. Meanwhile efforts to reform or dissolve the DAS are stalled in Colombia's Congress. President Uribe's political coalition has also been hit by a scandal known in Colombia as "para-politics." This coalition has included dozens of political bosses from regions beyond the capital. Many are large landholders with ties to narcotrafficking, the same local leaders who created and fostered the brutal pro-government paramilitary groups that killed tens of thousands of non-combatants in the 1990s and early 2000s. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769736 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769736 Date: 08/31/2015 Evidence, much of it from former paramilitary leaders, has brought about 300 criminal investigations against legislators, governors, mayors and other local officials, nearly all of them Alvaro Uribe's political supporters, who made common cause with the far-right warlords. To date, of the 278 congresspeople and senators elected in 2006, 68 are under official investigation, on trial, or convicted for paramilitary ties. Those embroiled in parapolitics include the President's cousin, Mario Uribe; the brother of his former foreign minister; and individuals whom the President had named to be Colombia's ambassadors to Chile, the Dominican Republic, and Canada. The Colombian prosecutors, investigators, witnesses and non-governmental organizations trying to uncover the truth about these abuses are working under conditions of great personal risk. They, too, are heroes and would benefit greatly from a public expression of concern about the cases they are investigating, and a reminder that their work is legitimate and important to U.S. interests in Colombia. At the same time, it is important to avoid appearing to endorse any candidate in the June 20 runoff elections. Between the first and second rounds of a country's presidential election is a politically awkward time for a high-level official visit. Though President Uribe's former defense minister, Juan Manuel Santos, is the overwhelming favorite given his margin of success in the May 30th first round of balloting over former Bogota mayor Antanas Mockus, it is necessary at this stage to convey a sense of balance and a willingness to work closely with whoever wins. As a result, any kind words for one candidate should be balanced by praise for the other. Finally, it would be helpful to remind the Colombian people that the United States supports a peaceful resolution of Bogota's worsening differences with Venezuela. While President Chavez's behavior is a significant concern, it would be most unhelpful to be perceived on this trip as fanning the flames of conflict with Colombia — or playing into the Chavez rhetoric that the U.S. and Colombia have military aspirations in the region. Hope this memo, along with last week's copy of the TLHRC letter to Assistant Secretary Posner, are helpful and useful materials for the Secretary as she plans her trip.

They have discounted their original date (March 22-23) because there is an IDB meeting in Mexico City on those same dates. There is a technical donors' meetings in Santo Domingo on April 14, and the GOH would like the pledging session to come after it. Bellerive said the GOH would also be open to doing the pledging session on March 31, though they prefer April 15. Status of Forces Agreement: Bellerive asked me if we could propose to the GOH a SOFA covering US troops in Haiti. 1.4(D) B1 I told him we would consult and get back to him ASAP. Adoptions: Bellerive signed the two lists of humanitarian parole letters I brought him, 1.4(B) asking if we are close to finishing all the kids in the pipeline. In a later meeting with multiple donors Bellerive 1.4(D) talked about the case of the ten Amcits being held for allegedly trying to take Haitian children out of the country without B1 authorization. He said that this case is in the hands of the courts and that the Executive has no influence over the outcome, but said it is an example of the GOH's need to control the problem of child trafficking which he said has increased exponentially since the earthquake. He said the judge has three months to decide the case. He has already dropped the most serious charge of kidnapping, and now the charges "only carry a maximum of 15 years in prison." He said that the judge might determine that there isn't enough evidence in the case to try the Amcits. He said that the only power the Executive has in the case would be a presidential pardon in the event they are found guilty. He would not speculate on whether Preval would consider a pardon if the Amcits are found guilty. Migrants: He approved the return to Haiti of 62 Haitian migrants detained on Great Exuma and said repatriations should continue as pre-earthquake normal. Relations with Dominican Republic: On instructions, I asked Bellerive in private what the GOH believed would be the appropriate role of the Dominican Republic in donor coordination mechanisms. Political dilemma: The executive decree establishing a state of urgency expires on February 15 and can only be extended by Parliament. Parliament has been fiercely critical of the Preval/Bellerive government since the disaster, and This leaves the government with the dilemma of how to handle extraordinary disaster needs (such as declaring land of public utility) after February 15. UN SRSG Mullet encouraged Bellerive to seek a "full consensus" with the opposition as "nothing short of unanimity" would be required to address the enormous challenges Haiti is facing. Bellerive told the donor community that the GOH may soon have to choose between becoming totally ineffective (which he said they will not do) or taking actions that exceed the authority given to the Executive by the law (which he implied they are prepared to do). The government is meeting with the private sector to get their approval of their reconstruction strategy, recognizing that they will have great difficulty getting a consensus with the political parties. Bellerive said that the GOH is also evaluating what to do about upcoming elections and constitutional reform, but implied that they have more time to reach a decision on these matters.

They are drafting his speech to be part mourning and part the vision of the future. Preval wants to announce that all the ministries are up and running as usual. Ministries: The PM said that the Primature and the Ministry of Planning will be moving into the old US Embassy building. The courts will move into the old USAID building. The plan to move a number of the ministries out to Croix des Bouquets has met with very little enthusiasm from the main line ministries. They prefer to clear the rubble off of their properties in downtown Port-au-Prince and either build new buildings (EU is offering to finance) or put up temporary structures (Canada is offering to finance).

I wanted to tell you that I met with the Lithuanian official who is heading up the Community of Democracies. Lithuania has the lead for the next two years. They are extremely energetic and recognize that CD needs to be reinvigorated. It was not given much leadership from us during the Bush years and besides democracy got a bad name — among other reasons. Their plan is to create a few working groups focused on issues that are current and important with specific practical goals and tangible results — among them, one will be focused on women and their critical role. As you know, they have a female president, the EU has just established a Gender Institute in Vilnius and they remember Vital Voices when you headed up the conference in Iceland and the successor conference which was held in Lithuania in 2001. We talked about a more concerted commitment -- to advocating for women and the role they need to play in conflict resolution (1325), helping women in Afghanistan and working to help women in eastern Europe and the Caucuses where things appear to be going backwards in many ways (takes me back to our first-ever VV conference in Vienna). I agreed that we would co-chair the gender working group with Lithuania. The Lithuanians believe that in many ways the younger generation takes for granted what the older generation fought for (they remember being a "Captive Nation and how the US kept them going with an embassy when they was little likelihood at the time that they'd ever become a democracy), and that today democracies are struggling in too many places. It's as though we have to take back democracy's good name and focus it as a universal value to address the critical challenges. Mike Posner has the lead on CD. I talked to him about all of this. He is all for our doing the gender working group as something tangible. He is concerned about where the Community of Democracies goes more broadly. Since this was a creation of the Clinton Administration and since democracy is under siege in so many places, I hope we will find a way to work with the Lithuanians and others who still want to see it make a difference. In some ways it may be more relevant today. They are planning the first ministerial in Krakow in July and hoping so much that you will be a part of it. Assuming I can get there, I'm going to their embassy in the morning where several government reps of participating countries will be meeting to announce next steps, including the gender working group.

Bellerive told the donor community that the GOH may soon have to choose between becoming totally ineffective (which he said they will not do) or taking actions that exceed the authority given to the Executive by the law (which he implied they are prepared to do). The government is meeting with the private sector to get their approval of their reconstruction strategy, recognizing that they will have great difficulty getting a consensus with the political parties. Bellerive said that the GOH is also evaluating what to do about upcoming elections and constitutional reform, but implied that they have more time to reach a decision on these matters. Preval to address the nation: The government is going to designate February 12 (the month anniversary of the quake) as a day of national mourning and President Preval will make his first formal address to the nation since the disaster. They are drafting his speech to be part mourning and part the vision of the future. Preval wants to announce that all the ministries are up and running as usual.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman Jack Murtha. From the battlefields of Vietnam to the hills of Western Pennsylvania to the halls of Congress, Jack Murtha lived by the Marine Corps credo "Semper Fidelis," never wavering in his faithful commitment to the country he loved and the men and women who bravely defend her. In war and in peace, he fought for what he knew was right, even when it was unpopular. He was a fierce advocate for working families struggling with a changing economy and for better health care and equipment for servicemembers. And over the course of more than three decades in Congress, he became one of our nation's most respected voices on national security and foreign policy. Presidents of both parties sought his advice and generations of colleagues looked to him for leadership and wisdom. As Senator from New York serving on the Armed Services Committee, I was fortunate to call Jack a friend and mentor. And as Secretary of State, I continued to rely on his expertise and judgment. I knew that Jack would always shoot straight, like the Marine he was, and never shy away from a difficult question or a tough fight. Today our country has lost a decorated war hero and a distinguished public servant. The men and women of the our armed forces have lost a tireless champion. And the people of Pennsylvania's 12th district have lost a neighbor, an advocate, and a true friend. My thoughts and prayers are with them and with Jack's beloved wife Joyce and their family. He will be sorely missed.

They have discounted their original date (March 22-23) because there is an IDB meeting in Mexico City on those same dates. There is a technical donors' meetings in Santo Domingo on April 14, and the GOH would like the pledging session to come after it. Bellerive said the GOH would also be open to doing the pledging session on March 31, though they prefer April 15. Status of Forces Agreement: Bellerive asked me if we could propose to the GOH a SOFA covering US troops in Haiti. 1.4(D) B1 I told him we would consult and get back to him ASAP. Adoptions: Bellerive signed the two lists of humanitarian parole letters I brought him 1.4(B) asking if we are close to finishing all the kids in the pipeline. In a later meeting with multiple donors Bellerive 1.4(D) talked about the case of the ten Amcits being held for allegedly trying to take Haitian children out of the country withouB1 authorization. He said that this case is in the hands of the courts and that the Executive has no influence over the outcome, but said it is an example of the GOH's need to control the problem of child trafficking which he said has increased exponentially since the earthquake. He said the judge has three months to decide the case. He has already dropped the most serious charge of kidnapping, and now the charges "only carry a maximum of 15 years in prison." He said that the judge might determine that there isn't enough evidence in the case to try the Amcits. He said that the only power the Executive has in the case would be a presidential pardon in the event they are found guilty. He would not speculate on whether Preval would consider a pardon if the Amcits are found guilty. Migrants: He approved the return to Haiti of 62 Haitian migrants detained on Great Exuma and said repatriations should continue as pre-earthquake normal. Relations with Dominican Republic: On instructions, I asked Bellerive in private what the GOH believed would be the appropriate role of the Dominican Republic in donor coordination mechanisms. 1.4(B) 1.4(D) B1 Political dilemma: The executive decree establishing a state of urgency expires on February 15 and can only be extended by Parliament. Parliament has been fiercely critical of the Preval/Bellerive government since the disaster, and This leaves the government with the dilemma of how to handle extraordinary disaster needs (such as declaring land of public utility) after February 15. UN SRSG Mullet encouraged Bellerive to seek a "full consensus" with the opposition as "nothing short of unanimity" would be required to address the enormous challenges Haiti is facing.

The message states, "Excellency, Passing through Turkish airspace, I send my greetings to you and the people of neighboring Turkey. Our initiative, aimed at the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations, holds attention of the international community. This is a historic moment, indeed, and it is recognized not only by us, but also by the global community. Efforts of the countries engaged in the region, aimed at the improvement of bilateral relations, are indispensable. I am confident that it wouldn't be possible to move forward without their support. At the same time, I believe no matter how interested friendly states might be in a positive resolution of the impasse, there are certain things that can be done only by our two nations. Mr. President, I hope you will agree that the Armenian and Turkish peoples assign the main task of getting rid of the stereotypes regarding each other and establishment of the atmosphere of mutual trust to their respective govemments. We can achieve results only if there are trust, resolve, and unfaltering stance. A situation when words are not supported by deeds gives rise to mistrust and skepticism, providing ample opportunities to counteract for those, who oppose the process. We should be mindful of the fact that in this particular case, the time is working not for but against the process. If until now we have been able to bring our bilateral relations up to a level which made the prospects of building normal relations between our two countries more tangible and discernible, now the time has come to manifest determination to make next major step and leave to the coming generations a stable and secure region. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest esteem."

For the past 15 years, Ann G. Deuel has lived in Arlington Heights, but her heart has resided in Jamal Place, a three-story graystone at 1335 S. California Ave. in the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. As a founder and executive director of Jamal Place, Deuel can tell countless stories about the boys, ages 11 to 17, who have spent time in the group home and about the army of suburbanites from St. Charles, Naperville, Lake Zurich and Lisle who have volunteered, donated and served on the board to help those kids. Lots of people in that field have good things to say about Deuel and Jamal Place. But when the new fiscal year begins on July 1, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services will not renew its contract with Jamal Place, forcing those kids to go to other facilities. "To shut us down and deny kids this opportunity is unconscionable," says Deuel, as she takes a deep breath and dabs at her eyes in an attempt to keep her emotions in check. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769761 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769761 Date: 08/31/2015 She and her staff operated last year through a $1,041,000 contract with DCFS to provide a group home for 10 wards of the state. They've carved out a wonderful reputation in 15 years, so what happened? The easy answer is that DCFS put the group home under a new performance-based contracting system that determined Jamal Place fell short of benchmarks for keeping kids from running away, requiring hospitalization or ending up in juvenile detention. "Taxpayers expect and deserve positive results in the children we serve," says DCFS spokesman Kendall Marlowe. Jamal Place simply didn't measure up in the areas the state measures. Because Illinois has trimmed the number of wards of the state from a high of 52,000 in 1997 to only 15,500, a much higher percentage of those kids have mental illnesses, substance abuse or other problems. Since the state measures an agency's performance by days that the kids are physically present in the home, Jamal Place, with its small population, got bad marks when a child was hospitalized for a mental-health issue or detained by a judge. "We did what was clinically advisable for these children and we got dinged for it," says Brian Barclay, assistant executive director of Jamal Place. "We did what was in kids' best interest." There is no consideration given for "incremental improvements in youth behavior, which occur as trusting relationships develop," Deuel notes. "I wish they could find a way to measure the individual aspects." When compared with similar facilities, Jamal Place graded lower, Marlowe says, adding that it "isn't a happy day" when the state ends an agreement with a facility that has "good people" and has done "good work" in the past. He says DCFS did renew a contract with Deuel for a different transitional living facility that serves an older population. One of Jamal Place's "unfavorable" outcomes involves a kid who already had a criminal record when he came to the group home at age 14. Now 17, he says he ended up in juvenile court after he made a mistake by hanging with the wrong people on the day when he stole a woman's purse. "I've got a good relationship with the staff and residents. We did things as a family," says the teen, who now is living with a grandmother. "I love my grandmother, but I'd rather be at Jamal Place. I'm trying to do everything in my power to get back to Jamal Place." Intangibles aren't part of the bureaucratic process. There isn't a place on an evaluation form to give credit to Deuel and her staff for leading the effort that closed a local "crack house." There's no way to measure the improvements in a former resident that led him for the first time to sign "love" before his name on the Mother's Day card he sent Deuel this year. There's no scoresheet for the local gang leader who stopped preying on Jamal kids when he was confronted by Deuel and recognized her as the woman who gave him a Christmas present a few years earlier. The interview for this story is interrupted when that man calls Deuel, who is helping him find a legitimate job. "It is enormously frustrating to me that the attachment the boys develop with our staff members is not a 'measurable' outcome," Deuel says. "These are our children. Long after DCFS is done with these kids, our door is still open." Last weekend, many former residents came back to explain how Jamal Place helped them. On June 26, Jamal Place will celebrate its 15th anniversary with a picnic and walkathon in Douglas Park, across the street from the home. Deuel and her staff are hoping DCFS finds a way to give them more time, another year to continue its mission. "I've always maintained that God won't let us fail," says Deuel. "For 15 years, that's been the case, and now we've got this challenge."

Germany reunited its nation; Romania remains still divided into two countries. But, I repeat, our reunification will occur inside of the European Union and in no other way." In 2009, he said "Who can imagine that a head of Romanian state will sign a treaty to entrench the Molotov-von Ribbentrop Pact?"

He said "Romania recognized the state borders of the Republic of Moldova inherited from the former Soviet Union. Romania agrees to sign an agreement in regards to the existent border regime, the way it was inherited from the USSR." Romania and Moldova, in fact, have good relations and no real border issues; the two governments are working on an agreement to make cross-border travel easier for Moldovans. The biggest challenge to Moldova's territorial integrity is Transnistria, where de facto authorities rely on the long-term presence of Russian forces for political support. Moldova's leaders seek a transition to a multilateral presence and withdrawal of Russian troops, but this is not likely without a political settlement on Transnistria's reintegration.

The Central Election Commission should complete its vote tabulation today and must certify the results within ten days; certification is expected as early as Friday. Tymoshenko, who has been silent publicly, plans to bring cases of alleged electoral fraud to the courts, but they will not change the result. Tymoshenko claims that she intends to work within the law and not to incite street protests. Our recommendation is EU Ambassadors in Kiev have recommended the same approach to Brussels, but want to revisit it if there is no progress by Friday. Medvedev called Yanukovych today with praise for the conduct of elections, but stopped short of congratulating him on his victory. Following certification of the election, Tymoshenko is likely to appeal within the legal five-day period. This will likely push back an inauguration date until early March.

Ali Jarekji / Reuters RIYADH // Saudi Arabia is planning to introduce regulations, including a licensing requirement, for its indigenous internet news sites, which have become a key fixture in the kingdom's active online community. The draft regulations, still under study, would require internet-based news sites to request a government licence and to respond to complaints about their content that are received by the ministry of culture and information. "We want them to feel that they are under our umbrella," Abdul Rahman al Hazza, spokesman for the ministry, said in a phone interview yesterday. Mr al Hazza referred to the new rules as "guidelines for the e-press", and said the idea is to help the electronic media with staffing and financing and give them "somebody to talk to" if they have problems. "It's going to be simple and easy." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769770 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769770 Date: 08/31/2015 Asked if the new rules would involve censorship, Mr al Hazza replied: "Not that much." Mainly, he added, if there are complaints about something written at an online news site, "we just look at it". A report last year in the Saudi Gazette said the draft regulations also cover "appointment conditions for editorsin-chief, granting permits to journalists, and invitations to cover news events". A 2007 law already subjects online writers to criminal penalties for such things as defamation. The planned regulations, which Mr al Hazza said are still two to three months away from being finalised by the ministry, are an effort to bring online news sites such as Sabq, Alweeam and A'ajel under government control in much the same way that the country's traditional daily newspapers are regulated. It is not clear if news sites like Elaph.com, which is London-based but has a Riyadh office, would also have to get a licence. Saudi newspapers are licensed by the government and can be temporarily stopped from publishing if they print something upsetting to a government official. But this has been rare in recent years, during which the Saudi print media has been encouraged to report more critically on social and economic problems. There is considerable self-censorship, however, as the media stay away from sensitive issues. Although the draft regulations under consideration do not apply to bloggers, there are concerns that the government eventually will try to regulate them as well. "They are not talking about blogs" right now, observed one veteran Saudi blogger, Ahmed Ba-Aboud. "But eventually they will get to us. It is a concern." Mr Ba-Aboud, 38, a management consultant in the kingdom's Eastern Province city of Dhahran, said the government does not understand that online media are attracting readers because they are not controlled like traditional newspapers. "There's no way I'd send anything I write to the government to censor it," he said. "That's not how the internet works." Ahmed al Omran, who blogs at www.saudijeans.org, was caustic about what he called the ministry's "dumb idea to regulate so-called electronic media". "Ironically, some owners of news websites are actually pushing for this law," Mr Omran lamented in a posting last month. "They argue that it would make it easier for them to get funding and make money from advertising. What about their independence and freedom that could be threatened by the new law? Well, apparently these things are not high on their agenda." Saudi Arabia's sprightly blogging community includes both Saudis and foreigners writing in both Arabic and English. It also boasts one of the region's highest proportion of female bloggers — about 46 per cent, according to a 2009 study by Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. About one-third of the kingdom's population regularly goes online. The community's latest arrival showed up February 2, when Mr Ba-Aboud launched a new English-language blog so that outsiders can learn more about "regular people like myself'. Most foreigners know certain kinds of Saudis, Mr Ba-Aboud said in an interview, including "extremists like Osama bin Laden", "rich people" and "people related to the government".

It will be a sort of communal blog in that Mr Ba-Aboud has invited anyone to contribute a posting, and as coordinator, he will post them on the site. Only those that "call for hate or violence" will be rejected, he added. In an interview last November, Mr al Hazza, the ministry spokesman, said the new regulations arose partly because ordinary citizens "don't know where to go" to complain about something written at an online news site. "The problem we have is that there is no government department to refer to ... Nobody to evaluate their job to see if they are doing wrong or right." Censorship "is not the idea" behind the new rules, he said. "The idea is to regulate." Mr al Ha7za said a decision will probably be made in the next couple of weeks about whether the new regulations shall be issued by the minister of culture and information, Abdel Aziz al Khoja, or be sent to the Shoura Council for action.

Amorim said Brazil was against the production of nuclear weapons, but Iran had the right to carry out a peaceful nuclear program. "Dialogue is still possible. What we want is to make sure (that the uranium will not be used to make weapons) through peaceful ways and dialogue," Amorim told reporters. Under a draft deal brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN nuclear watchdog, most of Iran's existing low-grade enriched uranium should be shipped to Russia and France, where it would be processed into fuel rods with a purity of 20 percent. Iran declared on Tuesday it had started the process of producing 20-percent enriched uranium inside the country. In response to Iran's announcement, the U.S.-led Western countries have warned to take political and economic sanctions against Iran. For his part, Amorim said he considered any kind of sanctions ineffective and dangerous because they might cross a limit and jeopardize peace. Iran's president made an official visit to Brazil in November, during which the Brazilian government defended Iran's right to have its own peaceful nuclear program including uranium enrichment similar to Brazil's, following international standards.

Thanks, Adriana Subject: Bloomberg-South America Leaders Propose Haiti Aid, Avoid Strife (Update3) By Alexander Cuadros Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- South American leaders agreed to provide $300 million in aid to Haiti at a summit in Ecuador after skirting regional disputes that have undermined relations on the continent since 2008. The 12 members of the Union of South American Nations, or Unasur, endorsed an accord today calling for a $100 million fund as well as a $200 million "preferential" credit from the Inter-American Development Bank. The money would be channeled to programs benefiting Haiti's reconstruction in areas such as agriculture, electricity infrastructure, health and education. "Latin America has stood up," Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said, addressing the summit at his presidential palace. "The time has come to create a new kind of south-south aid." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769799 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769799 Date: 08/31/2015 The meeting marks Colombian President Alvaro Uribe's first visit to Ecuador since his armed forces staged a cross-border raid on a guerrilla camp there almost two years ago. The attack killed rebel leader Raul Reyes, prompted Correa to break off ties with his northern neighbor and led Venezuela's Hugo Chavez to order tanks to his country's border with Colombia. Leaders including Organization of American States Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza said today aid efforts should follow instructions from the government of Haitian President Rene Preval, who attended the meeting. Correa said member nations should scrap tariffs on Haitian imports and consider subsidizing natural gas exports to the Caribbean nation. IDB Support Carlos Melo, the IDB's representative in Ecuador, said he spoke to bank chief Luis Alberto Moreno, who supported a 15to 20-year $200 million credit to be taken on by Unasur. Correa said member countries should consider contributing 25 cents per inhabitant to the $100 million fund. Chavez canceled his attendance because of an electricity crisis he's facing at home, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino told reporters today. At a gathering in Argentina last August, Chavez assailed a deal allowing the U.S. access to seven Colombian military bases, saying it was part of a strategy to dominate the region. About 100 protesters gathered today outside the presidential palace, carrying signs reading "Uribe equals the threat of war" and chanting criticisms of Correa for receiving his Colombian counterpart. Regional Integration Unasur was formed two years ago in a bid to promote regional integration. In 2008, at a summit in Santiago, the group provided political backing to Bolivian President Evo Morales after clashes between his supporters and government opponents over a new constitution left 30 people dead. The leaders of the continent's two biggest economies skipped today's talks. Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has canceled foreign travel amid a political dispute over control of the central bank's reserves. Brazilian President Luiz lnacio Lula da Silva isn't attending because of conflicts in his agenda, according to his press office. He sent his top foreign policy adviser, Marco Aurelio Garcia, to represent him. No bilateral meeting is planned between Correa and Uribe, Ecuador's state news agency cited Patino as saying Feb. 4. Unasur countries rushed doctors, food and emergency supplies to Haiti, the hemisphere's poorest country, in the aftermath of the Jan. 12 earthquake. At least 200,000 people died in the quake, Haiti's government said Feb. 6. Brazil Aid Lula signed a, decree Jan. 26 providing 375 million reais ($200 million) in aid to Haiti. Brazil, which leads a United Nations peacekeeping contingent in Haiti, had already pledged about $17 million to the country, the most among Latin American nations, according to UN data. Venezuela forgave Haiti's oil-related debt and donated 225,000 barrels of fuel, while Colombia sent more than 200 search-and-rescue personnel and committed hundreds of tons of humanitarian supplies. Ecuador has sent rescue teams and donated several tons of food, UN data show. Peruvian President Alan Garcia, speaking at the summit today, said Peru was willing to contribute $10 million.

Watson's central Los Angeles district isn't expected to be competitive in the general election, as it carries a distinct Democratic advantage as a majority-minority district. President Barack Obama won it 87-12 in 2008. Former California State Assembly Speaker Karen Bass is thought to be an early front-runner to replace Watson. Watson, 76, has served in Congress since 2001. Prior to that, President Bill Clinton appointed her ambassador to Micronesia.

I checked in with Lissa & Melanne, they didn't know it closed, which makes sense since it happened in 2002 after you left the White House. I made it clear that your longtime commitment to this issue - throughout your public career - is well known, and you remain very proud of your work with Mother Teresa in opening this home in 1995. And that your partnership is a success story to be emulated. Again, this is just FYI http://www.worldmag.com/webextra/16398 ADOPTION I Hillary Clinton continues to hail an adoption home she helped open with Mother Teresa that has since closed its doors By Emily Belz WASHINGTON—An adoption ministry Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hailed as a home she helped open with Mother Teresa no longer handles adoptions and its phone line has been disconnected, though at last week's National Prayer Breakfast Clinton spent five minutes of her 30-minute speech relating the story of its opening. Last Thursday Clinton described Mother Teresa "beaming about what this meant for children and their futures," seemingly oblivious that the Mother Teresa Home for Infant Children in northwest Washington, D.C., is now defunct. She said she worked tirelessly to "cut through all the red tape," although it appears that red tape prevented the work from continuing. According to a pastor at the church next door to the home's former location, the adoption ministry failed to take off because the Roman Catholic nuns who ran it weren't allowed to care for babies without medical personnel on site. "I'm not sure the legal thing that came down upon them, but they realized they needed to expend their energies in another way," said Maureen Freshour, who along with her husband, David, pastors Chevy Chase Baptist Church and lives nearby. Freshour has stayed in touch with the nuns from the Missionaries of Charity order who ran the home and said that the remaining three or four sisters have moved to another house in Washington, where they are ministering to the homeless."This has been a core issue—adoption—whether the home [Clinton] talked about survived or not," said Chuck Johnson, chief operating officer of the National Council for Adoption. "It's an issue she's been consistent on."During her speech on Thursday, Clinton reminisced about the 1994 National Prayer Breakfast when she attended as first lady and Mother Teresa was the speaker. The Roman Catholic nun delivered a blistering speech about abortion, saying, "Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want." Mother Teresa then called on attendees to fight abortion through adoption: "Please don't kill the child. I want the child. Please give me the child."The audience that day gave her a standing ovation—but President and Mrs. Clinton, both pro-abortion, did not stand. Afterward, Mother Teresa asked to meet with Hillary Clinton and they went to talk behind a curtain on the stage, sitting on folding chairs, Mother Teresa in sandals even though it was winter."She told me that she knew that we had a shared conviction about adoption being vastly better as a choice for unplanned or unwanted babies," Clinton related last Thursday. "And she asked me—or more properly, she directed me—to work with her to create a home for such babies here in Washington."Clinton followed through and set up a home for unwanted babies in Washington in just over a year, no small feat in a city that was known then for its inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy.

The nun who answered the phone said she couldn't give her name because they aren't allowed to talk to the press. She did say, however, that the sisters who are in the order now were not in the order when the adoption home opened, so she wasn't sure why it closed. She added that the order sold the Chevy Chase house in 2002. "We work with the poor and we didn't have any work there because it's a rich neighborhood," she said. The sisters, she added, are now working with the homeless and those with AIDS in a more transitional neighborhood in the northeast section of town on Otis Street. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769834 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769837 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Wednesday, June 9, 2010 9:15 AM H Fw: S calls on Iran vote?

We have worked very hard at USEU to deepen and intensify our relationship with the EP over the past several months. Specifically, we have, (1) Increased the flow of high-level USG visitors to the EP. Recent visitors include Janet Napolitano, Dick Holbrooke, George Mitchell, Dick Morningstar and Ron Kirk. These visits culminated last month in a highly successful address by VP Biden to a Plenary Session of the EP. I hope that you will also address a Plenary Session of the EP in the near term. (Your town hall meeting at the EP with young leaders last year was well-received here.) (2) Increased the flow and quality of EP interactions in Washington. We have facilitated a dramatic increase in the number of EP delegations visiting Washington and a significant improvement in the level of their access to high-level USG officials. (3) Increased USEU outreach to the EP at every level. At the Mission, we are restructuring the way in which we interact with EP leaders by institutionalizing responsibility for key relationships and enhancing accountability. In the coming months, we expect to receive two additional FTEs at the Mission to improve our ability to cover the EP. We have also encouraged our Embassies in member State capitals to meet with European Parliament members. Again, thank you for your interest and support for our efforts.

The motorcade, twisting and skidding through rain-splashed streets for more than an hour; the public meetings and camera lights at journey's end; the spotlight that has not let up for two decades. It is almost as if the 2008 US presidential election - hailed as the most exciting for a generation - had never ended. But this is a campaign without a vote. Today, Clinton's convoy is snaking through Sao Paulo, Brazil, not South Hampton, New Hampshire. She herself is no longer an aspirant for the White House, despite what the overnight flights, town hall meetings and strategy sessions that make up her gruelling schedule might suggest. Instead, she is in Latin America to shore up relations with the region and promote a new idea of US leadership, one very much built around herself. She's had bigger and more ecstatic audiences than the 700-odd students and staff crammed into the hall tonight at Zumbi dos Pradares, an Afro-Brazilian university, but she's still greeted by a wave of raised arms as the audience snaps away at her with their mobile phones. In the convoy moments before, she was wrapped in a shawl, suffering from a cold and angry at the delays that pushed us into the side streets speckled with box-like bars, warehouses and love hotels while Brazilian motorists sought to cut into our path. There is no sign of that now. With the metabolism of a born politician, she feeds off the energy of her audience and takes questions from students, teachers and local celebrities for an hour. Hillary Clinton never looks happier than when she is centre stage. Most US secretaries of state wouldn't bother with this sort of event, much less initiate it and arrange for it to be screened on the biggest local channel. Yet this is what Clinton does on almost every foreign trip and she seems to spend half her life on her official 727, crammed with long-time aides and armed bodyguards. The schedule is backbreaking and constantly shifting. She has notched up more than a quarter of a million miles since taking office. On this Latin America trip, thrown into confusion by an earthquake in Chile, we have already visited four countries in 24 hours. We go to tiny Uruguay, where our stay is so brief we check into a hotel just for a shower; Argentina, where we spend almost all our time at the presidential palace; Chile itself, where we don't leave the airport; and Brazil, where we spend almost a full day. So what exactly is Clinton trying to do on this never-ending world tour? Travelling with her for a week, talking to people inside and outside the administration, I tried to find out. "We now have a case to make and it is not just a case that is made to the president or the prime minister UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 or the foreign minister or an ambassador," she tells me a few weeks later, as she perches on a sofa in her expansive office, with its view of the Lincoln Memorial. "People now have a voice and an opinion and a vote in many instances on the direction that their own societies take ... I want to model a different kind of leadership that is open and willing to listen but [also] to stand our ground if necessary." She argues that these trips of hers help to restore the US's image in the wake of the Bush administration - by making contact with public opinion abroad, and so boosting American power. Her aides say that, as a battle-hardened politician who also happens to be one of the most famous women in the world, she is ideally placed to carry out the task. But the deeper question is whether she is merely implementing the foreign policy crafted by Barack Obama, her boss and former rival, or whether her role - and ambitions go beyond that. Is she a kind of saleswoman-in-chief for the US, I ask? "Well, I think that is part of the job," she replies, toying with the napkin underneath her glass of water. "If you are making a case for American values and for American leadership, you have to make it where people now get information ... Given the bridges we had to build and some of the repair work we had to do, we had to travel." As in S'ao Paulo, her system is under strain - "I've been fighting this all day," she says as she masks a cough set off by her allergies (Washington's cherry blossom trees are shedding their flowers). Life is still hectic - the volcanic ash cloud has just all but paralysed Europe and televisions throughout the State Department are showing the first British election debate. But Clinton remains enthusiastic, affable and unhurried, her speech peppered with exclamations such as "oh my gosh", even as she discusses issues of state. She politely asks if I have any updates for her about Europe's airspace shutdown and tells me she's been talking to Norway's foreign minister about it. "He said that this dust gets into engines of any size, even Air Force One - it's chunky! I don't know how else to describe it," she says, an odd note of hilarity entering her voice as she pronounces the word "chunky". Clinton often speaks in this eager, unvarnished way - a world away from the clipped, on-message manner of her immediate predecessor in the post, Condoleezza Rice. If anything, she is an undiplomat - known less for calibrated circumlocutions than for her plain speaking and sometimes her gaffes, a woman who retains both a formidable political constituency and a laugh she once admitted can send cats scurrying from a room. Her staff point out she is only the third elected politician in 60 years to have served as secretary of state, and the first to come from outside the foreign policy establishment since James Baker, George H.W. Bush's right-hand man and perhaps her most illustrious recent predecessor. She may be the most substantive politician in the office since William Jennings Bryan, the three-time presidential candidate who served as secretary almost a century ago. "Her stature on the world stage, her almost presidential stature, has set her apart," Bill Burns, the top career diplomat at the State Department, tells me. "Leaders want to meet her. And the town hall meetings do make a difference with public opinion." State visitor Hillary Clinton is greeted by Air Force Base Commander Colonel Celso de Araujo at S'ao Paulo airport in March Back in Sao Paulo, the meeting at the university ranges far from the confines and dramatis personae of traditional diplomacy. Annie, a young woman with red and blue dreadlocked hair, tells Clinton about her dance and percussion classes and asks how to study in the US without paying college fees. A nervous young man confesses himself lost halfway through an abstruse question about tariff policy; Clinton, smiling and nodding in that vaguely automatic way of hers, bears with him all the same. Another female student asks for an autograph. When answering, Clinton sometimes opens her eyes wide as she emphasises a phrase; at other moments, seemingly at random, she pulls her hands apart as if demonstrating the size of a fish. Then a law student called Marina asks about abortion - which is illegal in Brazil - and Clinton moves into treacherous terrain. She speaks of the Brazilian hospital she visited in the 1990s that treated not just UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 expectant mothers but women suffering from the consequences of backstreet abortions. "Wealthy women have rights in every country," she says. "And poor women don't." Her strength of feeling can't be hidden as she denounces "the great toll that illegal abortions take and the denial of women being able to exercise such a fundamental personal right". Tom Shannon, the US ambassador to Brazil, tells me later: "I understand the possible concern that we might have come close to domestic issues. But she wasn't laying out a prescription for Brazil. She was sharing her experience as a woman in American politics and as secretary of state." It's true: Clinton doesn't quite cross the line. Onstage, she is controlled without seeming artificial, convivial without appearing over-effusive, what a previous age would call a real trouper. At the podium she looks straight ahead, her lips carefully expressionless. Still, the old competitive instincts haven't left her. Perhaps it is the lecterns at press conferences, reminiscent of the Democratic presidential debates, but on exiting the podium at a joint appearance with Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez, Clinton makes clear her satisfaction at having had the last word. The expert debater who usually bested Obama has not left the stage. Yet that competitive urge coexists with what one insider describes as her "almost inhuman loyalty" towards Obama. Her mastery of the facts - an "information carnivore" one of her officials calls her comes despite the consensus in much of Washington that her role consists largely of implementing the foreign policy Obama and his inner circle have framed, rather than helping frame it herself. In Sao Paulo, she shows her loyalty in striking fashion when she is asked repeatedly about positive discrimination - another sensitive topic in Brazil - not least because, Clinton herself observes, AfroBrazilians account for more than half the country's population but only 2 per cent of university students. "That suggests to me that some special steps need to be taken [in] recruiting and admitting students so that they can have a chance to succeed," she tells the hall, again inching towards domestic politics, before speaking of her pride in the progress the US civil rights movement has made in the past half-century. She says: "The election of Barack Obama, many believe, was the greatest accomplishment of all because it demonstrated that an African-American could be elected president of the United States." Among the crowd, I catch my breath and scribble down her words. It's hard to think of a more fulsome statement from the woman who fought so hard against Obama - and who squandered a huge poll lead and millions of dollars in the struggle against him. The great collaborator Clinton has established strong working relationships within the Obama administration When I ask Clinton later about how she managed to move from the antagonism of the primary race to the obedience of office, she dismisses my question with an anodyne "that's politics". She adds: "We're working really hard and well together ... It just never comes up any more, it seems like ancient history to me." Not so ancient, I think, that she is willing to admit the failings of her campaign. "I always run inclusive and successful organisations," she retorts when I ask her whether she'd applied any lessons from that searing experience to her new post. She admits she didn't want the job at State - she says she was exhausted by the election and missed the Senate -. "but at the end of the day, I'm pretty old-fashioned and if the president asks you to do something, you'd better have a really good reason why you can't." Also, she adds: "Suppose I had won and I were asking him to be in my cabinet ... I would have wanted him to say yes." Others say the relationship is more complex, that by dint of her loyalty and unflagging hard work, Clinton has moved closer to the charmed circle and made herself an even more formidable political force than before. "Quite simply, she gives good advice and the president over a year and a half has recognised that," says Anne-Marie Slaughter, head of the State Department policy planning unit. "The relationship is based on her performance in the job." By all accounts, it's a collaborative partnership, though not perhaps a warm one. Clinton boasts a good working relationship with the main players of the administration - and has formed something of an alliance with defence secretary Robert Gates, although on life-and-death issues such as Afghanistan, it is UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 Gates, not her, who has taken the lead. As one official told me, secretaries of state have often either been popular with their own department - Colin Powell comes to mind - or with the rest of the administration as was Condoleezza Rice - but Clinton has managed to be both. In truth, Clinton's language remains harder-edged than Obama's - she recently claimed that Iran's Revolutionary Guard had staged a slow-motion coup - and she has sometimes been more willing than he is to hint at using the military. "She seems to step up with a bit of spine just at the right time," says Kurt Volker, a US ambassador to Nato under George W. Bush. She has also assumed an ever more prominent role in talking to leaders such as Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan - apparently because she is trusted both by them and Obama. Meanwhile, she has been careful to keep her husband, the former US president, in the background. Aides say they have barely seen him in the building - though Clinton herself says that behind the scenes Bill Clinton gives her strategic advice. "One of his favourite sayings, that I remind myself of all the time, is a kind of baseball saying," she says: "Don't major in the minors; keep your eye on not just the headlines but the trend lines." It is her co-operative stance rather than any notable effort to set out a grand vision of her own that is the chief theme of her time so far at State. When I ask Clinton to name her proudest achievement in office, she replies "the effective and collaborative approach that this administration has taken towards identifying and solving problems." A more process-oriented, less provocative answer would be hard to imagine. But maybe, I think, the US has less scope for grand strategy than it did in the past couple of decades, when the country seemed to bestride the world colossus-style. Clinton herself suggests that so formidable are the tasks confronting the US that the administration has little scope to enter into internecine fights but needs instead to focus on the challenges to hand. Whatever the reason for her stance, it seems to be a smart decision - by all accounts she's overcome many of the suspicions the White House retinue had towards her. "It's fair to say that she was not born into the administration's inner circle but slowly but surely, for the most consequential decisions, she now has a prime seat at the table," says one official. Praising what he calls her "Terminator-quality durability and determination," he adds: "She's done an amazing amount of work, judging that the way to build a strategic vision is bottom up, by mastering the details." Indeed, Clinton's ability to master the most arcane foreign policy briefs is the marvel of her building. She has dropped into obscure working groups and shown an unnerving knowledge of their details. At her confirmation hearings last year she exchanged facts about the arctic with an Alaskan senator; at the meeting in So Paulo she becomes enthused about freight transport policy both in Brazil and the US. She herself acknowledges that finding her feet on foreign policy was something of a struggle, despite her campaign claims of expertise in the field. "It was so intellectually challenging, just to get our arms around all of these issues," she says. During her first year, she was criticised for apparent gaffes - including the way she called for Israel to halt all building of settlements on occupied territory only to hail a partial freeze a few months later as unprecedented. On an election campaign, she says, "you may be in a different city four times a day but you have a message you're trying to deliver that is repetitive and aimed at your audience. But here you might deal with 10 different countries' problems, six different regional or global challenges in the course of a day." As the Latin America tour shows, she is now trying to do both - travel incessantly and solve an array of international issues. She is at the forefront of the US's efforts to consolidate relations with a number of important countries - predominantly Russia and China, but also rising powers such as Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia and South Africa - and to cool down anti-American feeling in hotspots, notably Pakistan. She says the push is working, hailing a "change in public opinion in places that were pretty negative about the US" - a reference to Russia and Pakistan. But it is far from smooth sailing. Differences about Iran and over Israel's raid on aid-bearing ships off Gaza have stoked tensions with Turkey and Brazil recently, amid questioning of the effectiveness of the Obama administration's policies. During my time with her on the road, the stop in Brazil is the focal point - not surprising given the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 country's increased profile as Latin America leader. Clinton is now heading the administration's push to secure sanctions on Iran, and in Brasilia she tries and fails to win President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to her cause. She employs an almost combative tone at a press conference with Celso Amorim, Brazil's foreign minister. At moments she appears to barely contain her irritation, as she denounces "an Iran that runs to Brazil" as well as other countries such as Turkey and China "telling different things to different people to avoid international sanctions". Amorim is spiky in his own way - drawing parallels to the 1990s sanctions on Iraq and the claims about weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 war. "Of course, I don't agree with everything the Secretary said," he says. It is not a happy experience - indeed this past week both Brazil and Turkey voted against sanctions at the United Nations - yet Hillary Clinton is nowhere near giving up. Years ago, one of Bill Clinton's biographers described his approach to government as a "permanent campaign", and it appears to be his wife's preferred form of existence as well. If there is one constant in Clinton's life, it is that she never throws in her cards, whether what motivates her is power or public service. "Never, never!" she exclaims, when I ask whether she ever thought of walking off into the wings after the frustrations and indignities of her time at the White House. "I have a very realistic sense of what highstakes politics requires and it took me a while to get there because it's shocking when you are in the arena ... but once you figure it out, you can take it seriously for purposes of analysis and understanding, but you can't take it personally." Such treatment seems to rankle all the same. She's been listening to coverage ahead of the British debate and is plainly irritated by the coverage of the leaders' wives. "Whether a woman's running for office or she's supporting her husband who's running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat, there's just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena," she says. Another country Clinton boards her official 727 to fly from Sao Paulo to Costa Rica Injustice towards women appears to be the issue that most enthuses Clinton in this job - as in her many other incarnations in American public life, whether as First Lady or before. "I feel passionately it is in not just the American national security interests but the world's, that women be given the opportunities and the tools to make the most out of their own lives," she says. In the 1990s she steered clear of reading the newspapers because of the way she was treated. Today, she says, "I certainly don't read coverage of me, I read what else is going on that I need to know about to do my job." "It's all baloney," says Philippe Reines, her press adviser, who set up the meeting with her and is sitting to one side in her office. "Yeah, yeah, right, that's what he tells me," Clinton responds. I wonder. She may not read the stories about her, but she has boosted her domestic profile still further by talking to American magazines such as Esquire, Vogue and Parade. To what end? Clinton has said she will only serve one four-year term as secretary of state - understandable, given the grind of the job. When I ask whether she expects a woman president in the next decade or so, she responds: "I'd love that, obviously I would love that. I want to be front and centre when it happens." "Any chance it would be you?" I ask. "No, no, I don't think that's in the cards," Clinton says. She's given more categoric denials in the past. "I think that there's a whole generation of young women and not so young, but mature, seasoned women who are earning their stripes and recognising how tough it is out there. It is not for the faint of heart to run for president, and I believe it is harder for women, it just is, and that's just a fact." But, says one US official, "all the profiles and all this media treatment undercut the argument that she is finished with electoral politics. Why do all this stuff? She's already Hillary Clinton. You have to ask: 'What's the idea behind raising her domestic profile still further?" Indeed she is now, by some counts, the most popular politician in America and some in Washington say she could be a good fit for the vice-presidential slot in the 2012 elections.

The journey goes on and on, and as saleswoman-in-chief for the US in an unruly world, she faces a long, hard road. Today the US sometimes struggles to assert itself on the world stage. But the obstacles are rather fewer if the product she is pitching is herself. A secretary of state like none before her, Hillary Clinton, long one of the most formidable figures in US politics, is looking stronger than ever. Daniel Dombey is the FT's US diplomatic correspondent David Miliband: "Hillary is a rock star ... she has a great sense of fun, and a great sense of humour" It's too early to start chalking up a scorecard because Hillary Clinton, and the Obama administration, is laying the foundations for long-term change in America's foreign policy. The challenges are immense probably more difficult than the inheritance of any previous administration. But American leadership is essential and a commitment to multilateralism - in fact multi, multilateralism using different and overlapping forums - is real and right. You also have to remember that Hillary is a rock star. When I arrived at the Nato Foreign Ministers meeting in March 2009, it was a nice surprise that all the staff, never mind the press, seemed to have turned out in droves for my arrival. Then I realised that Hillary was 10 minutes behind me. That said, the thing that most surprised me about working with Clinton was not her intelligence or her hard work, all of which are well known, but that behind the serious exterior is someone who has a great sense of fun, and a great sense of humour. She has seen politics from all sides, and can laugh at herself as well as at others. She's a remarkably good listener, always synthesising ideas and opinions to develop her own. She thinks strategically as well as tactically. She's also very, very unpompous. Hillary is a very political person but in a particular way, she honours politics and public service and believes that democratic politics is not a necessary evil, but a calling of value and vocation. She knows you win some and you lose some, but it's essential to take part. There's one other thing. Hillary is a people person in that she thinks deeply about the psychology of the people she's dealing with. Their motivation, their loyalties, their culture. It's real emotional intelligence in trying to understand why people disagree and how you can get them to agree. I think that must be why so many other members of the administration say she is a very good colleague. David Miliband is shadow foreign secretary Gideon Rachman: "Relations between the White House and the State Department are not particularly close" A school teacher asked to write a report on Hillary Clinton's stint as secretary of state would have to give her 10/10 for effort but a rather more modest mark for actual achievements - maybe a six or a seven. Secretaries of state are generally judged on two criteria. First, how have they done in the endless bureaucratic turf wars that characterise Washington politics? Second, how effective have they been in promoting US foreign policy in the wider world? Success in one area usually helps in the other. Henry Kissinger was a superb Washington infighter - and his close relationship with President Nixon made him all the more effective overseas. Colin Powell, George W. Bush's first secretary of state, was widely admired outside the US - but came out on the wrong side of many of the Washington battles, which limited his ability to get things done in the wider world. Hillary Clinton has skilfully avoided being sucked into the debilitating Washington struggles that so damaged Powell. Despite the often poisonous rivalry between the Obama and Clinton camps during the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05769875 Date: 08/31/2015 campaign, Clinton has a good working relationship with the president. But while relations between the White House and the State Department are cordial, they do not seem to be particularly close. Clinton appointed many loyalists from her own campaign to the State Department, with the result that State is rather detached from Obama's inner circle. Obama's penchant for making high-profile speeches in foreign capitals such as Cairo, Prague, Tokyo and Istanbul means that the president himself has done more than anyone else to define his administration's approach to the world. That still leaves a role for Clinton to fill in the crucial details of policy. But special representatives have been appointed to deal with Afghanistan and the Middle East - and the Treasury is critical to China policy. Asked about Clinton's impact as secretary of state, one senior European policymaker purses his lips and says: "She's done some great trips, and she's highly professional. But it's hard to see any particular area where she has really driven policy." Gideon Rachman is the FT's chief foreign affairs columnist David Rothkopf: "When she has been asked to deliver tough messages, she has done so unflinchingly" Hillary Clinton has been a cautious secretary of state: she has protected the president well and pursued his agenda without upstaging him - an early concern, given her stature. She has worked very well with other members of the cabinet, and is reconsidering the role and structure of the State Department. That includes a review of the role of diplomacy going forward. Clinton has not only acknowledged the rise of new powers and a changing global power structure but has taken steps to reshape US foreign policy structure accordingly. An important part of that has been recognising the importance of co-operating with private and non-state actors such as NG0s, as well as dealing with non-state threats. When the administration has called upon her to deliver tough messages, she has done so unflinchingly. This has allowed the president to articulate a strategic vision which Clinton then goes about implementing. Still, neither the secretary of state nor the president determines the global situation. The US may be the most powerful country in the world but it is one among many powerful countries, and many aspects of the situation we face today are beyond our control. The Obama administration has been dealt an extremely difficult hand: not only Iraq and Afghanistan, but Iran and North Korea's nuclear programmes, the rise of emerging powers and a complex and still unfolding series of financial crises. We have gone from a world in which the US thought it had limitless resources and unbounded options to one where the limits are clear; from a world in which you could work in the GB to one where you have to work in the context of the G20; a world where new technologies and new powers play a bigger role. All of those things would dictate a change in foreign policy regardless of who is in office. Hillary Clinton has established a very solid foundation. The next step is to identify a couple of signature issues - and have a couple of signature successes. That will take her to the next level.
