            <title>State department HR issues regarding translators...</title>
            <description><![CDATA[I wonder if the guy or gal who did that&nbsp;great job with translating Russian for the&nbsp;Secretary&nbsp;Clinton&nbsp;got canned... and went to work for someone else?

From an email I received today, edited a bit to protect the innocent:
&nbsp;

(Insert foreign Gov't Agency here) is cowardly inviting you to a Criminal Justice Task Force annual press conference, whose participants are the Deputy&nbsp;for Counter Narcotics, Senior law enforcement officials from&nbsp;(insert another agency here)&nbsp;including, Head of Prosecution, and (that agency's) Communication Director. 

This conference will be held [someplace&nbsp;on&nbsp;some date) &nbsp;at 10:00am. For your more information please find the attached media advisory.

Makes ya wonder, y'know?&nbsp;]]></description>
