I’m baffled by the obvious reluctance of State to designate her appropriately. Is there any possible reason for that? Of course not. But why then?

I watched the recorded piece on CBS Sunday Morning today on Alsu, coincidentally. It’s so frustrating. It’s like Putin has all us Americans hostage. I guess that’s the point.

I suspect it’s because they don’t want to designate too many people at once to avoid diluting the importance of the designation. But she certainly qualifies.
