Wonder what this could mean?
This could be an innocent thing, but you know how I'm inclined to think the worst.
A State Department (search) employee was found dead outside the agency headquarters in Washington, D.C., Friday around 5 p.m., Fox News has confirmed.State Department sources told The Washington Post that John Kokal worked in a unit that dealt with intelligence and research. Sources said he handled classified documents regularly but was not involved in intelligence analysis.
Police said the official cause and manner of death is to be determined by the D.C. medical examiner, the Post reported.
Fox News has confirmed that Kokal, 58, did work for the State Department Intelligence and Research Bureau, but has not yet confirmed that the body is that of Kokal.
Fire Department Spokesman Alan Etter said the man, a white male, was wearing a dress shirt, tie and slacks, but was not wearing shoes nor a suit jacket. He was found lying in the bottom of a concrete window well near 23rd and D streets, about eight stories below the top of the building. The well drops about 20 feet from ground level.

I'm willing to bet this is the start of something. It's going to be ugly. It's going to be decisive. You want to bet it starts the rip of our country's cohesiveness, already strained from 9/11, Iraq, and the Plame Affair.
