Le d\u00e9partement le plus repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 parmi ce reste est celui de la justice (90 fonctionnaires), l’agence la plus repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e est la CIA (nombre inconnu).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t Malgr\u00e9 les primes exorbitantes offertes, le d\u00e9partement d’Etat est en manque chronique de personnel pour ses rotations et envisage m\u00eame des assignations autoritaires : \u00abThe teeming embassy masks a desperate need for civilians to aid the reconstruction effort. To lure more, federal employees are offered 70 percent more than their base salaries for Iraq service, plus overtime, or special premiums for working long hours, according to the Office of Personnel Management. It is possible for senior employees to earn more than the secretary of state, who makes $186,600 a year.<\/em> [Steve Kashkett, State Department vice president for the American Foreign Service Association] said 1,700 diplomats have stepped up for Iraq service since 2003 about 20 percent of those eligible to go. The State Department has discussed drafting personnel.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t Un bon jugement sur cette ambassade d\u00e9mente est donn\u00e9 par l’ancien secr\u00e9taire d’Etat Lawrence Eagleburger, r\u00e9publicain, proche de James Baker et membre de l’Iraq Study Group : \u00abI defy anyone to tell me how you can use that many people. It is nuts . . . it’s insane and it’s counterproductive . . . and it won’t work. I’ve been around the State Department long enough to know you can’t run an outfit like that.<\/em>\u00bb Conclusion et d\u00e9finition de Eagleburger : \u00abWe’re throwing people and money at something without estimating what the culture demands. It’s hubris.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
