 FrontPage magazine.com :: Rogue State Department by David Bedein
The US State Department has demanded that Israel free hundreds of Arabs who have been involved in acts of premeditated murder, meaning that Israel would have to free Arab terrorists who qualify as not having "blood on their hands" because while they tried to hurt people with bullets, bombs and rocks, they missed.
The US State Department refers to the June 29th "Hudna" agreement that was achieved between the PLO and the Hamas as a "cease-fire", despite the fact that the US State Department knows full well that a "hudna" implies a respite before the next battle in the war.

 US Department of State
State Department analysts warn the Clinton administration in a top secret assessment that bin Laden’s move from Sudan to Afghanistan will offer him an “ideal haven.” The warning comes exactly one month after he made the move (see May 18, 1996).
The State Department issues a fact sheet on bin Laden, calling him “one of the most significant financial sponsors of Islamic extremist activities in the world today.” The text ties bin Laden to funding specific attacks, such as the attempt to kill dozens of US soldiers in Yemen in 1992 (see December 1992).
The State Department issues an overseas caution connected to the conviction of defendants in the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

 US State Department evidence about family law problems in Japan
According to many left-behind American parents, the US State Department has historically been reluctant to get involved in the politically sensitive issue of international kidnapping to Japan, or in the related issue of testifying to the problems with Japanese family law in domestic US court battles for custody and visitation involving a Japanese parent.
We also believe that other US government agencies may be "getting tough" on the problem, since it has been reported that the US State Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other federal agencies were involved in the August 2006 rescue from Japan of Christopher Gulbraa.
This page documents evidence from the US State Department which may be useable in a US or other court of law to help you obtain supervised visitation, travel restraining orders, denial of a request to relocate, or other related court orders against a Japanese parent.

 Sri Lanka Presidential Elections, US State Department & Reason
The State Department would have its audience believe that in the Jaffna peninsula with the visible presence of around 40,000 Sri Lankan troops, (one for every ten resident Tamil), the Tamils were somehow 'intimidated' by the LTTE to refrain from voting, so much that only 1% of the registered voters exercised their franchise.
It denied reason some twenty years ago, when in the aftermath of the 1983 genocidal onslaught on the Tamil people, the State Department described Sri Lanka as 'open, working, multiparty democracy' where the 'Constitution guarantees the independence of the judiciary, and lawyers and judges are held in high esteem'.
Department spokesperson Adam Ereli said, “As a result, a significant portion of Sri Lanka's people were deprived of the opportunity to make their views known.

 State Department policies on dual citizenship
This document describes the criteria under which a child born outside the US is a US citizen by birth.

At one time, a questionnaire was given to US citizens when consular officials became aware of a possible dual citizenship situation -- e.g., when the person sought to renew his or her US passport following acquisition of another citizenship.

 Should US State Department curtail anti-drug funding?
Although U.S. nonmilitary assistance programs have begun to produce some results, individual projects reach a relatively small number of beneficiaries, face implementation challenges, and may not be sustainable.
U.S. assistance to Colombia's vulnerable groups has provided support to many internally displaced persons, but these program beneficiaries do not receive all of the assistance they need, and there is no systematic way for beneficiaries to transition from emergency aid to longer-term development assistance.
Furthermore, the Departments of State and Justice have not established timelines for achieving their stated objectives, nor have State and USAID developed a strategy to turn programs over to the Colombian government or to the private sector.

In November 2000, the Department of State announced the declassification effort on documents pertaining to "Operation Condor; disappearances and child kidnapping in Argentina from 1976-83." State Department officials asked the CIA and Pentagon to participate by releasing documents from their agency archives, but they declined to do so.
Dozens of lists compiled by the U.S. Embassy from hundreds of requests by relatives, human rights groups in Argentina and the U.S., and Congressional offices were regularly presented by the Embassy to the Argentine government in an effort to locate the disappeared and help guarantee their safety.
The document states that the clear involvement of Intelligence Battalion 601 in the kidnapping of Argentines in Peru, the death of one of them in Madrid, and the recent coup in Bolivia are an embarrassment that the Argentine government does not seem capable of stopping.
