A Sad Inconsistency

Can someone explain to me why the White House would release a statement expressing sympathy concerning the murder of four Russian diplomats in Iraq that took place in June 2006, but say nothing about the murder of American diplomat John Granville in the Sudan along with his driver, an employee of the American embassy (here)?

Here is a link to the White House site, by the way – maybe they’ve updated it, but I couldn’t find anything.

To be fair, Sean McCormack of the State Department answered questions about the murders in this wide-ranging press briefing here, but I guess those who quite probably killed our own people aren’t “high value targets” worthy of mention by Bushco.
