I respect your arguments, but continue to disagree with it. I think you are giving WAY too much credit to this person (Yasemin Heinbecker) and even more to the Department that they had some type of plan to extract info (at best) or simply to keep the lines of communication open.
I think this was just a bad judgment call to rub shoulders with those people at the embassy in the midst of a hot war.
My take is that political and economic isolation is the answer until the tide of war changes.
