Karen DeYoung of the Washington Post reports that the Department of State will cut 10 percent of existing diplomatic personnel in 2008. Vacancies were created around the world when mid- and upper-level diplomatic personnel moved to staff American embassies in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of these vacancies may now become permanent in part because Congress has rejected calls for further staff increases. See the full story here.
