What's more surprising is that they expect it to be otherwise, if they
continue mixing up US diplomats and the US government on the matter.

They way to keep governments (and politicians) out of the Internet is to
KEEP THE US GOVERNMENT out of it too. The best approach to keep governments
out of the Net would be to keep matters TECHNICAL, and a "no regulation"
pledge or document subscribed by TECHNICAL bodies, like the IEEE or IETF.

Sending Washington diplomats fighting for "net independence" will only
spark knee-jerk reactions from anti-US countries.
