Collect biometric data on foreign diplomats? Really, Ms. Clinton?

Good for wikileaks.

I have yet to hear a compelling case justifying our Government hiding things from the its citizens.
"Its embarrassing" is not a valid reason.

If its absolutely key to national security...then they shouldn't have been using normal communication channels.

Yes
Biometric info on North Korean diplomats.
Why do you have a problem with it? We are technically still in war mode with those nutbags so why not have our war face on?

I believe that the actual directive was for any, with specific attention given to Security Council members, not North Korea.

Oh..
I still dont have a problem with it.

I have a problem with diplomatic personnel taking part in espionage.

I guess I'd rather our guys be armed with as much info as possible when making negotiations.

Based on the info released, I had already assumed the practices mentioned were common place in the diplomatic community.

They shoot spies, you know. You should be able to trust that DIPLOMATIC personnel are dealing in a fairly open way with you, not committing acts of espionage. When such happens it isn't uncommon for countries to break diplomatic ties, or simply expel the offenders. "Diplomatic Immunity has just been revoked."
