It's Hard Being Imperial

Megan Meline reports on the difficulties of being a diplomat in US embassies around the world. This report is a sadly lacking look at how dangerous it is being an agent of the US imperial project. All we hear about are the dangers facing diplomats and typical State Department propaganda about how the problem is rooted in Islamic extremism, al-Queda, etc. There is nothing (absolutely nothing) reported about how the US embassies have served to overthrow elected governments, provide support for torture and death squads, whitewash and cover-up torture regimes, and generally bring misery to the countries in which they are located.
