Huh?

I don’t want to get into the old agency debate again, but I’m a little confused by this article in the NY Times.  Seems three of the NOID cases from October have been cleared by USCIS, but that the Department of State is now preventing them each from receiving a visa. 

Does anyone understand this process?  I understand that we’re looking at a two-stage review now.  USCIS and then State.  What is State doing that is different from USCIS?  I am absolutely not trying to be provocative here, I really just want to understand this, as it new to me.  One agency investigates and finds no wrong doing, but the other does.  How can that be?  Are there different standards applied in the investigations?  If anyone has real data on this, I’d love to hear (see) it.
