U.S. diplomat suspended for publishing book criticizing Iraq war policy

The Obama administration suspended Foreign Services Officer Peter Van Buren for his book critical of the State Department operations in Iraq. Van Buren also installed a link to WikiLeaks on his blog.

“No one was particularly concerned about what we were doing, how much money we were spending, and the results of our endeavors,”  Van Buren said of his experiences in Iraq in a speech to the National Press Club last week.
