Well, I don't work for ABC, but I assume that they don't normally ask the US Ambassador to Great Britain for permission to interview Tony Blair when he is in the US for meetings. Nor do they get a call from said ambassador cancelling the interview. Negroponte apparently has such a role in Iraq.
And as for 1), please. If we didn't approve of whoever was picked, we wouldn't have handed the guy the keys.
