I live in DC and know tons of people who work for the government. Guess what? They are people like you and I, and in a lot of cases less capable or bright (which is why they go for cushy government jobs). They get drunk and they act like assholes in groups, you hear them talking garbage all the time on the metro and in restaurants.
Just because these people (who in all likelihood are bureaucrats with no power at all) say they want this guy dead doesn't mean they have any power or ability to send out the hit squad, or killing reporters is now US Policy. It's just as meaningless as me randomly saying "god, I wish Karl Rove was dead."
