Viewing cable 07BAGHDAD3896, KUDOS AND THANKS FOR STATE'S PSD MOA NEGOTIATING

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07BAGHDAD3896.

TEAM 
 
 
The successful completion of negotiations between the Embassy 
and MNF-I on a Memorandum of Agreement governing Personal 
Security Contractors is a direct result of the hard work, 
commitment, and flexibility of both teams.  However, I want 
to express my deep appreciation for the outstanding 
contribution of the Embassy team: our own RSOs Ricardo Colon 
and Ted Carpenter, and our A/Legal Adviser Sam McDonald, and 
from DS, Jim McDermott and Jim Combs (DS/IP), Dean DeVilla 
(DS/OPO), and Jesse Tampio (DS/L).  Their achievement is a 
testament to their professionalism and skill as negotiators 
and to their interpersonal skills as a cohesive team.  Thank 
you for giving us the best.
