She reported to both the Assistant Secretary, Daniel Fried in the Bureau for European and Eurasian Affairs and the Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, Karen Hughes, (later James Glassman).She spoke and wrote on Guantanamo issues. On suicides in Guantanamo: "It does sound like this is part of a strategy - in that they don't value their own lives, and they certainly don't value ours; and they use suicide bombings as a tactic," Colleen Graffy, the deputy assistant secretary of state for public diplomacy, told BBC's Newshour yesterday. "Taking their own lives was not necessary, but it certainly is a good PR move." Graffy has also been quoted as saying to Kate Allen of Amnesty International UK via e-mail in 2004 that, "In the Second World War, Americans and Britons who were captured were held until the end of hostilities. They were not read rights or given a dime to call their lawyer."She was the first high level US government official to actively advance "Public Diplomacy 2.0" and use Twitter. In response to criticism for tweeting as a diplomat she wrote an Op-Ed on the importance of social media as a tool of public diplomacy in the Washington Post. She introduced green diplomacy and the importance of visual communications in public diplomacy and launched the Ben Franklin Transatlantic Fellowship as well as the first "media hub" for the U.S. government with radio and television broadcasting facilities based in Brussels, Belgium.She is a frequent commentator in the broadcast media and the press. She debated for Intelligence Squared on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 and wrote an article from that arguing that Iraq was a catalyst for the Arab Spring. In an op ed for the Los Angeles Times she drew attention to evidence of war crimes in Syria. She appeared on BBC’s Question Time with former Foreign Secretary David Miliband and Jerry Springer in the run-up to the US presidential elections.".
