Dissent Memo Coming From Foreign Service Officers

Lawfare has published a draft “dissent memo” that will reportedly be signed by “numerous” career officers of the Foreign Service and other diplomats. The memo is offered in opposition to President Trump’s executive order suspending travel by nationals of 7 Muslim-majority nations and halting the admission of refugees.

You gotta love these two bolded sentences from the memo:

• This Ban Does Not Achieve Its Aims — And Will Likely Be Counterproductive
• We Are Better Than This Ban

We are, indeed.
