This is great! Where do you find these things Nutty??

I don't know if this was previously discussed, but there is a Security Advisory Opinion problem resolution unit within the Dept. of State. It is for internal use only, so lawyers and citizens cannot directly contact the unit. But, I think that congressmen can. Yet another potential avenue for resolution.

I do like this one. I've been through the DOS website a hundred times. They conveniently place a lot of information in really inconspicuous places. I'm going to bookmark this one. With my luck lately, I'll need it.
