State Department insiders warn that a recent “reduction in force” which will decimate the Department’s Office of Security has nothing to do with the stated reason given by the Department: economy. Instead, they say that career foreign service personnel have finally accomplished a longstanding desire to cripple the security agency.
Top-flight security agents, with many years of experience in their jobs, have been informed that their positions are to be abolished. The Deputy Director of Security, Otto Otepka, was also given the axe. All in all some 25 hard-nosed security people with invaluable security experience have been declared expendable.
