The U.S. State Department: as obstructionist as if they were Taliban terrorists

Ed Driscoll at Instapundit links to Jake Tapper of ABC News writing on today's Congressional Hearings: “In a heated and dramatic congressional hearing today, witnesses who served with the U.S. diplomatic corps in Libya and pushed for a stronger security presence repeatedly faulted the State Department for standing in their way – one even referring to the State Department officials he described as obstructionist as if they were Taliban terrorists.”

Got any doubts read "No Higher Honor" by Condi Rice.

I have not read it, but probably will. I read Rumsfeld's book, and that prejudiced me against Rice, because he does not give her a flattering portrayal at all. Now, however, I am reading Woodward's State of Denial, which does not portray Rumsfeld very flatteringly.
