clinton "genuinely" outraged this time, as opposed to the standard "fake" outrage i guess

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is "genuinely offended" by reports of misconduct by private guards working for the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan, a State Department spokesman said Thursday.

Those who engaged in such activities will be dismissed from their posts, spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

Clinton "is very displeased that this could have happened and that this could have happened without our knowledge," Crowley said.
