I usually don't like to exert even a tiny bit of bandwidth to give (*ack* *ahem* *choke*) Ambassador Douglas Kmiec, chief faux-Catholic apologist for the President of Death and heir-apparent of the Sir Richard Rich "Sell My Soul for Wales" legacy (thanks to Fr. Z for the phrase), the media attention he appears to crave so desperately. But I did need to pass on one of the best quotes on the matter that I'd read in a long time.
From the ever-admirable LifeSiteNews, and from the pen/keyboard of Human Life International's Joseph Meaney:
Perhaps even more troubling than Kmiec’s obsequiousness in accepting these pathetic lines of reasoning is how he describes being intellectually seduced by President Obama. The ambassador has bought--hook, line, and sinker--the false definition of ‘dialogue’ which always entails a serious, thoughtful pose and a polite nod of the head, and results in the even greater acceleration of the culture of death. Of course they "listen" when they’re in power! Then they do exactly what they were going to do and people like Kmiec get in line and become their apologists.
How long, O Lord...?"

So the administration is exiling Douglas Kmiec? I know Obama couldn't be all bad.
I could only hope. However, if memory serves, ambassadors--even ones who've been appointed for transparently nepotistic reasons--are still allowed back in the country (as are their ill-conceived commentaries), and they have greater than average access to the fifth column (i.e. the media).
So it's temporary and imperfect. Same as everything else done by humans.
Hopefully Malta will keep Mr. Kmeic busy.
"How long, O Lord?'
With any luck, that would be November of 2010.
Please lets all show up at the polls next year and
erase the Democrats' unassailable majorities in
Congress. Only then will this administration give
more than lip service to "dialogue" with anyone
outside their magic circle.
