From private sources
I am told a car tried to breach the wall of Fortress American in Amman. Amazing it could even get near since a whole city block around the damn place is blocked off. Not clear the nature of the event, I am told.
However, let me take the opportunity to note that since the Iraq war, the security perimeters around American goverment establishments was become ever and ever wider. I think this speaks to the real "return on investment" from this policy. Ever and ever wider, and even in friendly countries at that.
These are not good signs, might be tolerable if the underlying policy was well-conceived and successful, but it is not.
