| U.S. Embassy In Algeria Warns Of Commercial Airliner Threat |
| 2007-03-14 |
 Extremists in Algeria may be plotting to attack a commercial airliner carrying Western workers, the U.S. Embassy in the North African country said. The embassy said officials have no specific details about which airline might be targeted or when the suspected plot could be carried out. Algeria is already subject to a State Department travel warning that says the risk of terrorism in parts of the country is significant. The embassy warning was posted on its Web site Monday. |

| #2 "great public servant, a great linguist and capable expert" -- must have been teleported here from our galactic allies. We seem to lack sufficient local resources to produce enough people like this. |

| #1 Our ambassador there is a great public servant, a great linguist and capable expert of the sort that most think/wish/forlornly hope would be the norm at State. Though in my view the underlying strategy always lacked the muscle and "incentives" for Sunnis that it needed, while top political officer in Baghdad he helped make the most of Sunni engagement. The entirely under-appreciated (I see Austin Bay did some appreciating today somewhere) accomplishment of democratic elections and a sovereign multi-faction government in arguably the most ravaged political landscape in the region will some day burnish the legacy of Robert Ford and others. |
