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.
