Condi chides diplomats

on Iraq -

"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reminded diplomats yesterday of their duty to serve amid a revolt among some who don’t want to go to Iraq. Separately, Rice and Ambassador Ryan Crocker said foreign service officers are obligated by their oath to work at any diplomatic mission worldwide. “People need to serve where they are needed,” Rice said aboard a plane headed to Turkey. Crocker said diplomats who put their personal safety over the nation’s interest are “in the wrong line of business.”

Then there is this... "Rice was guarded by more than 2,000 police in Ankara’s streets. Protesters held a small demonstration nearby and one in Istanbul."
