How many people here actually know a diplomat?

Several of my friends' parents work for the State Department, and I know at least one that, if not an ambassador exactly, was a diplomat at the US embassy in China (I know this because the friend used to live there).

I will not argue the substance of these diplomats position - that has been well argued elsewhere - but they are not just taking issue with Bush, but with all US policy wrt to the Palestinians from 1967 onwards. So unless these are diplomats who served before 1967, there is something problematic in their statement NOW.

I had thought that diplomats report to a boss, i.e. someone they may not agree with.
