Go F%$& Yourself

Condoleezza Rice seems to have smoothed over the US media created riffles with Europe.

Some ministers, such as Bernard Bot of the Netherlands, had indicated they still had deep concerns over U.S. policy, despite a week-long effort by Rice to defuse the tensions. But afterward, ministers reported that they were satisfied with the U.S. position.

"Secretary Rice has covered basically all of our concerns," Bot said, adding that if the secret prisons existed -- which he called "pure speculation" -- Rice "has made it quite clear" that the United States did not violate international law in such facilities.

It suppose that's good, but I'd just as soon send The Big Man over to Europe to present the US side of things.
