It would be better if you tried a reading comprehension exercise before commenting. I specifically said it was a manual and posted the purpose statement directly from the State Department.
The Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) and associated Handbooks (FAHs) are a single, comprehensive, and authoritative source for the Department’s organization structures, policies, and procedures that govern the operations of the State Department, the Foreign Service and, when applicable, other federal agencies. The FAM (generally policy) and the FAHs (generally procedures) together convey codified information to Department staff and contractors so they can carry out their responsibilities in accordance with statutory, executive and Department mandates.
You are quite right and my intent was for you to say so. I’m sure that you were deliberate with your post and I suspect that you were trying to deceive readers who are not familiar with the arguments. I think that the Birther argument is nonsense and ought to be treated as such.
