Cable Forum - View Single Post - UK ambassador to the USA resigns over leaked cables

Being the most senior posting in the entire diplomatic service, the British ambassador to the USA has normally got a contact book with telephone numbers spanning the entire world. He has formal and informal relationships of every kind, developed over a career spanning decades. He also has a senior MI6 station chief in Washington on speed dial. To even attempt to use a little Internet forum like this to argue that someone in his position is in the business of peddling unsubstantiated opinions is absurd.
