The U.S. Ambassador in Moscow has lodged a formal protest with the Russian Foreign Ministry over an "attempted smear" of an American diplomat with a purported sex video recorded in a Moscow hotel room.
"This kind of effort to discredit an American diplomat really has no place in the sort of relationship that we are trying to build with the Russian federation," Ambassador John Beyrle told ABC News in an interview to be broadcast tonight on World News with Charles Gibson and Nightline.

Uh, John. Just one question. Did he do it or not?
If he did not, then defend him. But not until you and we know the answer to that question.
If he did it, then fire him and send him home before he is completely compromised and hurts our nation.
I often wondered what kind of dirt these intelligence agencies can gather on high ranking politicians and celebrities merely by monitoring hotel rooms.
...oh how the dividends of Obama’s ‘smart diplomacy’ are piling up
Thats it. What kind of sex tape is that?
You would think the Russians could do a better job.
Jess Unruh is a legendary Speaker of the state of Cal Assembly. When asked about taking dinners and gifts from lobbyists he said “If you can’t scr3W their women, drink their booze and eat their food and then vote against them in the morning, then you shouldn’t be in politics.” If I were a single ambassador, I think I would adopt that position and tell the host country, bring it on!
Ha!!!! WTF is up with the 70’s music on the tape????? LMAO!!!
All I saw was a typical man-woman relationship. So what?
"Get Some?"
Yet contractors who under pressure , risking their lives daily under fire in Iraq cannot party.The diplodinks can though!
Classic KGB “Honey Trap.”

A straight State Dept. employee? They’re slipping at Foggy Bottom HR.
Vintage Russian. Kind of exciting.
The scandal here is that the tryst was hetro. Were the guy a homo, it would not be news.
I soooo want that song as a high-quality MP3. But what is it?
It looks like the girl on the tape is forcing him to do stuff to her.
LOL!
