Last year they spoke of how unusual the Syria dissent memo was -- and that was 51 State Department people who wanted Obama to actively remove Assad. (I doubt these 900 will be treated with teh respect the Obama administration showed - with Secretary Kerry hearing them out and speaking of that not having international law behind it.)
