- eli 13y agoIt's questionable [1] how much Hillary Clinton had to do with that order and I'm not sure "steal the DNA" is a fair characterization. Also, that order had its roots at least as far back as 2001.

- throwaway_yy2Di 13y agoI'm not sure "steal the DNA" is a fair characterization. Your National Journal link describes an order "to collect the 'biometric data'... including DNA". What's unfair about this characterization?
- eli 13y agoIt's out of context. It suggests the memo is primarily about "stealing DNA" when, in fact, the letters "DNA" do not appear in it: http://www.theguardian.com/world/us-embassy-cables-documents/219058 http://www.theguardian.com/world/us-embassy-cables-documents...
