Putting our diplomats in dangerous areas, giving them a supposed "safe house", but then having no plan to get them out is not a confidence builder to anyone in the foreign service. Moreover it will embolden people who want to do harm to our people because we show how vulnerable we leave our diplomats.

This is not a laughing matter.
