Trump Mapping Committee needs to break its deafening silence

Ambassador Friedman had optimistically predicted in February:

We're going to go through a mapping process to convert a map which is drawn of more than a million to one into something which really shows on the ground how the territory will be put together

It's not unduly difficult, but it's also not simple, because there are a lot of judgment calls. We don't want to do this piecemeal.

We want to do it once, holistically, in totality, and get it done right

Failure to finalise a "detailed and calibrated map" after six months is disturbing.

The Committee needs to break its deafening silence to confirm that Trump's vision is geographically achievable - not simply a shimmering mirage.
