it is interesting that this story is surfacing now, at the moment the e.u. had managed to negociate an agreement with iran designed to short circuit un sanctions (which was the american plan on the matter). i am not sure of the linkage, but i wonder if the story is part of a jockeying for position on the part of the administration in that context. because i wonder if this e.u. success is seen as writing on the wall for the american diplomatic position in general. sooner or later, the consequences of bush's goofball foriegn policy would have to start turning up--maybe the administration see this as the first of these.
