My condolences. As Narcissa said, we have found ... found that even if we try to get a sense of occurrences in the Protectorate, it is nearly impossible to piece together the whole of what has been happening. You are quite right that at times it seems there is far too much to discuss and not nearly the time - or the words. But you have my sympathy for this loss, as for much else.
Will certainly keep the recommendations in mind, but for the moment I do not believe we are in danger. They were asking for assistance, not seeking retribution. Thus far, at any rate. We do still have allies among the international community, or I suspect we would have had trouble long before this.
You speak about reporters and losing control of the press - there you have my utmost sympathy. There is no controlling them on this side, only scaring them off. But we have at least been able to exert some pressure to keep them from dogging our heels at every turn. It wasn't long before we were discovered but - well, as I say, we have handled it.
Had I been in any position to bargain for you, I would have done. Assume you are working to capture Dover's Secret Keeper?
