SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION TIES BETWEEN TRI-BORDER AND 
TERRORIST GROUPS US IMMIGRATION POLICY BUSH-TABARE 
SUMMIT NOMINATION OF EARL ANTHONY WAYNE AS NEW US 
AMBASSADOR TO BUENOS AIRES 04/06/06 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Key international stories today include the alleged 
ties between the Tri-Border and terrorist 
organizations through a New York bank account; US 
President Bush favoring a US law including temporary 
work permits; and the nomination of Earl Anthony Wayne 
as new US Ambassador to Buenos Aires. 
 
Leading "Clarin" carries a reprint of a La Repubblica 
article by Anthony Giddens, English sociologist, 
creator of the 'The Third Way,' who wrote "As a result 
of Sunday's elections, Italy is expected to leave 
behind a political leader, who, like George Bush, will 
have finished an administration in which he piled up 
imprudence, errors and disappointment." Leading 
"Clarin" carries an editorial on Iran's nuclear 
challenge. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND KEY STORIES 
 
- "Ties revealed between Al Qaeda and the Tri-border" 
 
Alberto Armendariz, New York-based correspondent for 
daily-of-record "La Nacion," writes (04/06) "As part 
of an investigation that could reveal for the first 
time financial ties between the Triple Border and 
terrorist organizations, the Manhattan District 
Attorney ordered the closure of a New York bank 
account alleged to have served to 'launder' Uruguayan 
funds and send them to groups like Al Qaeda, Hamas and 
Hezbollah. 
 
"According to unidentified judicial sources..., during 
the last two years, some 3 billion dollars obtained 
from illegal businesses carried out in the Tri-Border 
are reported to have been transferred to a New York 
Bank of America account through drafts involving 
Gales/Lespan Exchange financial company, headquartered 
in Montevideo. 
 
"Reportedly, suspected funds must have been sent from 
New York to accounts in Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia; 
Beirut, Lebanon; and Ramallah, in the Palestinian 
Autonomous Territories." 
 
- "Bush pressures US Senate to pass immigration law" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading 
"Clarin," writes (04/06) "Fully aware that the issue 
is turning into a snowball, US President George W. 
Bush urged the US Senate to put an end to a debate on 
what to do with the 12 million undocumented immigrants 
living today in the US... 
 
"... Bush again said he favors legislation including 
temporary work permits..., and he acknowledged that 
there are people in the US who work hard in positions 
US citizens do not want to take." 
 
- "Tabare-Bush summit is a topic of concern for 
Argentina" 
 
Carlos Burgueo, columnist of business-financial 
"Ambito Financiero," writes (04/06) "A piece of 
disconcerting news, which could worsen the Argentine- 
Uruguayan ties, was confirmed yesterday morning by the 
Argentine Foreign Ministry - On May 4, George W. Bush 
will receive Tabare Vazquez in New York, and could 
offer him to reenter bilateral negotiations for an FTA 
outside of Mercosur... 
 
"The announced meeting between Bush and Vazquez added 
itself to the US President's statements that the US 
Congress should ratify the US-Uruguayan Bilateral 
Investment Treaty." 
 
- "Nationalism on the surge" 
 
Leading "Clarin" carries an op-ed page by prestigious 
political analyst Rosendo Fraga, who opines (04/06) 
"By the mid-90s, globalization was assumed to be a 
central phenomenon in international relations, which 
influenced countries by limiting and even eliminating 
national sovereignties. However, ten years later, we 
 
 
 
find the reverse phenomenon - the possible 
revitalization of nationalism. 
 
"The US is today more nationalistic than in the '90s. 
its unilateral foreign policy is an expression of a 
sort of revitalization of US nationalism. 
 
"In China, India and Pakistan, Europe, the Middle East 
there is also a surge of nationalism... The turn to 
the left in Latin America could be a regional version 
of nationalistic resurgence. 
 
"To all this, we should add that both political 
international institutions, like the UN, and economic 
international institutions, like the IMF, are today 
much more under debate than one decade ago." 
 
- "Commercial rather than political topics in the new 
US Ambassador's agenda" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading 
"Clarin," comments (04/06) "The White House has 
announced the nomination of Earl Anthony Wayne as the 
new US ambassador to Argentina... 
 
"... While his road to Buenos Aires seems clear of 
obstacles, Wayne is obviously aware that his work will 
not be easy. While on the surface, bilateral ties 
between the US and Argentina are seemingly very calm, 
there are some topics that raise concern. It is enough 
to read the latest USTR report on Argentina about the 
trade barriers the US faces in the world to understand 
why the thorniest issues in Wayne's agenda will be 
commercial and economic rather than political. The 
report talks about 'lack of adequate protection for 
patents in Argentina;' tariffs imposed by the Kirchner 
administration on 'the import of toys and textiles,' 
which are affecting several US companies; US 
companies' lawsuits against Argentina at the 
International Center for Settlement of Investment 
Disputes (ICSID)... 
 
"Everything indicates that while the US will continue 
insisting on issues like ties with Cuba, Venezuela, or 
diplomatic immunities for US troops performing 
exercises in Argentina, commercial issues are at the 
core of the US interests in our country, for which 
purpose the US is ready to wage battle." 
 
3. EDITORIALS 
 
- "Nuclear challenge and global threats" 
 
An editorial in leading "Clarin" reads (04/06) "Iran 
has become the main concern regarding its armament 
challenge and nuclear development with uncertain 
purposes... 
 
"... Iran has defended its right to develop nuclear 
energy with peaceful purposes but has not dismissed 
its use with defensive or offensive purposes, and it 
has not allowed the visit of the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA)'s inspectors. 
 
"The strengthening of collective security is crucial 
to preventing escalations of violence like that in 
Iran from becoming larger confrontations. 
 
"The international community should avoid both Iran's 
nuclear development for non peaceful purposes and the 
implementation in Iran of the same 'pre-emptive war' 
strategy carried out in Iraq three years ago."
