In a flagrant political act, the State Department has barred its employees from attending Sen. Barack Obama's speech in Berlin tonight.[...]
The U.S. embassy, which is headed by ambassador Robert Timken, a businessman and crony of George W. Bush's from Ohio, who is widely reviled in Germany for his ignorance of foreign affairs, has instructed officials not to attend the rally. The American Foreign Service Association has complained about the edict but there's not enough time to dispute it.
I would say this is pretty unbelievable, but where BushCo. is concerned, it's just par for the course.
