IMMIGRATION POLICY OLLANTA HUMALA VENEZUELA EVO 
MORALES ARGENTINE ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING LEGISLATION 
04/04/06 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Today's major international stories include a US 
federal jury finding conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui 
eligible for the death penalty; a debate in the US 
Senate on undocumented immigrants and the impact of 
the issue on November legislative elections; Peruvian 
presidential candidate Ollanta Humala's statements on 
globalization, free trade and the US anti-drug policy; 
Bolivian President Morales's statement that he will 
not expropriate Petrobras' assets; the ties between 
Venezuelan President Chavez and the Bush 
administration; murderous tornadoes in US Mid-West; 
and Venezuela seizing an oilfield from France's Total 
SA and Italy's Eni SpA after the companies failed to 
comply with a government demand that operations be 
turned over to the state oil company Petroleos de 
Venezuela SA. 
 
Leading "Clarin" carries a Global Viewpoint reprint of 
an opinion piece by Madeleine Albright, former US 
Secretary of State, who emphasizes that "The current 
 
SIPDIS 
USG's Maniquean and simplistic view has ended up 
strengthening the most extreme versions of Islamism 
and deepening the conflict in the Middle East." The 
leading newspaper also carries an editorial praising 
Argentina's latest amendment to its anti-money 
laundering legislation. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND KEY STORIES 
 
- "Possible execution due to the September 11 attacks" 
 
Hugo Alconada Mon, Washington-based correspondent for 
daily-of-record "La Nacion," writes (04/04) "Zacarias 
Moussaoui, the only person that has been indicted and 
tried in US courts due to his alleged ties with the 
September 11 attacks, is heading for death penalty. 
 
"Yesterday, a jury of nine men and three women found 
Moussaoui eligible for execution... 
 
"The decision brought relief among the relatives of 
those who died in the September 11 attacks, though 
some of them fear that Moussaoui's execution could 
turn him into a martyr... 
 
"The problems faced by the government in its 'war on 
terrorism,' already in its third year, have weakened 
US President George W. Bush, who sustains that 
military offensive is the right way to prevent Al 
Qaeda from hitting the US again..." 
 
- "Immigration - a decisive week in the US" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading 
"Clarin," writes (04/04) "This week will be decisive 
for the 12 million undocumented immigrants who are 
currently living and working in the US. What is at 
stake is what to do with them. 
 
"... The issue not only divided Republicans and 
Democrats but also sparked a big debate within the GOP 
itself, in which the most conservative wing wants to 
be tough with illegal immigrants while large 
corporations do not want to lose their cheap 
employees. 
 
"Everyone is concerned about the impact of this issue 
on November legislative elections and 2008 
presidential elections. Many Republicans fear to lose 
the increasing support they obtained from the Hispanic 
community in latest presidential elections, while 
others do not want to risk the most conservative 
supporters of the party, who have always strongly 
opposed illegal immigration." 
 
- "Ollanta Humala - 'I'm neither a leftist or a 
rightist'" 
 
Carlos Noriega, on special assignment in Lima for left- 
of-center "Pagina 12," writes (04/04) "During an 
interview with former commander Ollanta Humala, in 
which, among other questions, he was asked to predict 
what his relationship with the US would be like and 
 
 
 
whether he would legalize coca plantations, Humala 
answered 'We want to have the best possible 
relationship with the US. I am not anti-US. However, I 
believe that its anti-drug policy has a negative side, 
and this is why we should separate coca leaf from 
cocaine. I am against a compulsive eradication of the 
coca leaf because I believe it should be replaced in a 
profitable way. We should seek markets for by-products 
of the coca leaf and be able to industrialize it. One 
cannot solve the problem posed by cocaine by punishing 
coca growers, because they are not the first link in 
the drug trafficking network." 
 
- "Humala - 'We'll be a government with authority, not 
an authoritarian one'" 
 
Pablo Biffi, on special assignment in Lima for leading 
"Clarin," comments (04/04) "During an interview with 
Ollanta Humala, the favorite for this Sunday's 
elections, he was asked about globalization and 
whether he is against an FTA with the US, which Peru 
is close to signing, to which he answered 'I am not 
against an FTA with the US by definition. How could I 
not want Peruvian products to enter that market, which 
is the largest in the world? However, those agreements 
should go hand in hand with national interests, a 
national development project and strengthened national 
industries." 
 
- "Venezuela's guessing game" 
 
James Scott, columnist of liberal, English-language 
"Buenos Aires Herald," writes (04/04) "... Some 
experts point out while Chavez appears to be an 
egotist pushing his Bolivarian revolution, there may 
be a method to his madness. Within an increasingly 
left-leaning Latin America, some say creating regional 
alliances and bolstering economic independence from 
its wealthy northern neighbor is good politics. 
 
"Chavez's critics don't buy it, arguing that his 
spending comes at the expense of investing in 
Venezuela. Poverty levels - though falling - still 
remain high, much of the nation's infrastructure is in 
a shambles and a lack of housing has led to the idea 
of expropriating people's second homes for 
redistribution, if owners try to sell them for 
inflated prices. 
 
"... Still, in a country where Chavez enjoys more than 
55-percent approval ratings, experts say it will be 
tough to damage him before the November election - 
though his opponents are trying. 
 
"... Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for 
Economic and Policy Research, is bullish on Venezuela 
and its future. He said Chavez has been the target of 
a political and media smear campaign by the US. 
 
"Faced with US efforts to isolate Venezuela, he said 
Chavez has done a solid job of gaining allies in Latin 
America. 
 
"He also said that some of his foreign investments, 
like buying up Argentina's debt, may very well turn 
out to be long-term money-makers for the people of 
Venezuela. 
 
"'The Bush administration has been trying to isolate 
Chavez for years and has only managed to further 
isolate (the United States of) America,' he told the 
'Herald.'" 
 
- "Evo Morales - 'There will be no expropriation'" 
 
Business-financial "Ambito Financiero" reports (04/04) 
"Bolivian President Evo Morales asserted to Brazil 
that he is not planning to expropriate Petrobras' 
assets, though he did not made clear how he will 
nationalize national resources. A Bolivian delegation 
will arrive in Brazil in ten days in order to discuss 
the issue, which triggered concern in Petrobras, the 
main investor in Bolivia." 
 
4. EDITORIALS 
 
 
 
 
- "Amendment to the Argentine anti-money laundering 
legislation" 
 
An editorial in leading "Clarin" reads (04/04) "... 
One of the most serious current challenges faced by 
the nations is preventing and punishing money 
laundering. 
 
"The recent amendment to Argentina's anti-money 
laundering legislatio is a step forward in this 
direction because it includes a series of 
recommendations made in 2003 by the financial Action 
Task force (FATF)... 
 
"... The legal amendment should be accompanied with 
the commitment of tax, financial, police and judicial 
agents to fighting money laundering."
