American Diplomat Wins Award For Denouncing USA on Al-Jazeera
It's nice to see that at last they're taking action on Alberto Fernandez, the Senior US diplomat who used al-Jazeera as a soapbox to denounce the "arrogance and stupidity" of American policy. From Fox News:
Well after a month of silence, the State Department is finally speaking out on Fernandez — not to condemn him, but to praise his "integrity, courage, [and] sensitivity."
Fernandez was selected from three department nominees for the Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Public Diplomacy by Tufts University... for his work with pan-Arab media ... to increase the number of appearances by U.S. officials.
He receives a certificate signed by Secretary Condoleezza Rice — and $10,000 in cash.
When we finally throw the UN out of the US, let's make sure the State Department goes with it.

God, how long will it take before people realise The State Department is a den of vipers that should be destroyed.

Here's a better idea: let's get rid of the federal government altogether. What does it do these days aside from sapping taxpayers of trillions and saddling every state with socialist policies?
The states could easily form a joint military via a simple treaty and could also agree to prohibit trade restrictions via treaty. Aside from those important functions, the federal government is a cancer that should be oblitered ASAP.

Anyone who has any real knowledge of Murrow should be embarrassed to recieve an award named after him.

Didn't you know it's brave whenever our citizens publicly criticizes the US, but arrogant and jingoistic to praise it? Being a "world citizen" demands that we put our own interests to the side, and the libs are riding that bandwagon for dear life.
