History of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security

As we lead up to the 100th anniversary of its founding in 1916, the in-house history of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security of the United States Department of State has been made available in E-Book formats:
The new Diplomatic Security history, professionally researched and written by the State Department Historian’s Office, is an authoritative reference source and an archival record of the many critical duties, milestone events, prominent personalities, and worldwide locations with which DS has been associated over the past century. The first comprehensive, detailed history ever prepared, it is dedicated to the men and women who have served the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and its predecessors – the Office of Security (SY) and the Office of the Chief Special Agent of the U.S. Department of State – from the inception in 1916 up to the present. A Table of Contents and a master Index make the book easy to search for specific information purposes.

You do realize, of course, that this document makes it possible to reference quite a few Matters of Official Concern from a publicly available source?

No Kidding!
Faces with names, org charts, descriptions of procedures, I could go on. Somebody should have thought twice about this.

TSB: I thought this was a good quote:

You could ask 1000 people what characteristics they want in a president and 990 will describe Ron Paul. However, ask 1000 people what they think of Ron Paul and 990 will say he’s crazy. Why?? Because that’s what we’ve been told to think. So we think it. gwb PS: I read today that Hillary had State spend $630,000 to buy her fake 'likes' on Facebook.

Well, I like Ron Paul. Better than I like his son, even.

It was the Bureau of International Information Programs - the propaganda people - who paid for the FB likes. Hillary buys fake Twitter followers, I think.

Well, she's 67 years old and not in the best of health. Maybe that van has a handicapped sticker?

TSB: 76 counts of medicare fraud sounds pretty serious. (Melgen) But Menendez will probably walk on the influence peddling for just trying to help poor struggling college girls. (LOL) gwb

Menendez might well get off lightly. The officials who pressured visa officers for a reversal ought to get the maximum.
