3. I saw your other post and it was a really nice story

One similarity to this story is that Kerry's staff worked with the government and he called the person after they fixed things. It might be that Kerry wanted to find out what the state department, including the SoS and the our ambassador and the Egyptians had to say before speaking to the family. That is a judgement call. Calling immediately would maybe comfort the family that the government was working on this, but they would have questions that he could not answer at that point. They already knew his office was working on it.

That does not mean Brown was wrong. He did not have Kerry's contacts with the ambassador, the SoS, or the Egyptians.
