Ambassador Gutmann has temporarily returned to the United States to undertake cross-government consultations on the situation and to complete necessary State Department in-processing...

Sounds to me like they translate as follows: "Ambassador Gutmann had no freaking idea what she was talking about and was proving to be a huge embarrassment."

[T.B. Yoits]

Sounds reasonable to me:

Ambassador Gutmann has temporarily (she will go back to Germany) returned to the United States to undertake cross-government consultations (the CIA has to fill her in on more and show her how to work the crypto) on the situation and to complete necessary State Department in-processing (she didn't get her paperwork done before departing because she's not that bright and is having trouble with the spy training).
