SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; THE CIA; ARGENTINE PARIS CLUB DEBT 
NEGOTIATIONS; ARMENIAN GENOCIDE; 10/22/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Weekend international stories include remarks on Tim Weiner's book 
on the CIA; Argentine Paris Club debt negotiations and the need for 
IMF reform; and implications of the US Congressional statement 
acknowledging the Armenian genocide. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "The CIA ashes" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacisn" carries an op-ed story by prestigious 
writer Toms Eloy Martnez, who opines (10/20) "No one knows how 
much damage CIA agents and directors have done to world peace... 
That damage is obviously more than what we know but less than what 
we'll get to know when its omnipotence fades away with which it 
decided on human lives and accomplice governments in every continent 
since Harry Truman founded it in 1947... 
 
"... All its secrets, which were kept under lock for more than six 
decades, have just been published in an overwhelming and shivering 
investigative book - "Legacy of Ashes; The History of the CIA," from 
Tim Weiner, one of The New York Times' correspondents in Washington 
and perhaps the best talented US journalist on intelligence issues. 
 
"... Out of every sprout of fear, the CIA obtained benefits that 
allowed it to purchase more consciences. 
 
"... One of the CIA's most disastrous fiascos was having convinced 
the Bush administration that the Hussein regime was manufacturing 
chemical weapons and WMD. While all evidence indicated otherwise, 
Bush's aides did not need arguments. They were already sure that 
things were like that. The president disliked Hussein ever since the 
CIA blamed him for a conspiracy to murder his family in 1993. 
 
"... If the CIA is defeated by omnipresent computing systems that 
have an unparalleled efficacy on conspiracy and espionage matters, 
just a few will be sorry for it." 
 
- "Negotiating with the IMF in the framework of the institution's 
weakness" 
 
Ana Barsn, leading "Clarn's" Washington-based correspondent, writes 
(10/21) "New IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn's 
willingness to find a formula that will allow Argentina to start 
negotiating its Paris Club debt without a formal IMF arrangement is 
taking place in the context of the IMF's current feeble condition. 
 
"With its legitimacy and funds jeopardized, the IMF is today very 
weakened. US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson acknowledged the 
seriousness of the situation when he said that profound reforms are 
indispensable to 'prevent its members from distancing themselves 
from this key global institution.' 'The IMF financial situation has 
become unsustainable.' 'A lot of attention is paid to the IMF new 
income,' although 'an equally important part of the solution would 
consist of sharply reducing expenditures.' 
 
"Last week, developing countries launched a real offensive to have 
more say at the IMF. Lula accused the IMF of being an institution 
for the wealthy. Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega blamed it 
for not having done enough to prevent the US real estate crisis. 
Argentine Economy Minister Miguel Peirano followed suit. 
 
"As soon as Dominique Strauss-Kahn takes over, his big challenge 
will be implementing IMF reform. However, the turbulence will not 
disappear overnight. Brazil, India, China and South Africa have 
already started to coordinate the next steps of the rebellion, which 
could favor Argentina... " 
 
- "The IMF wink to Argentina's Paris Club debt negotiations" 
 
Jorge Velzquez, on special assignment in Washington DC for leading 
"Clarn," writes (10/22) "Argentina received a new IMF signal of 
progress towards its Paris Club debt re-negotiation. The next IMF 
managing director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, confirmed he is willing 
to 'cooperate' in seeking a more flexible mechanism than traditional 
deals to overcome the Paris Club's demands for (debt) 
renegotiation. 
 
"... Strauss Kahn exchanged the promise to help Argentina for the 
vote at the IMF Board to get elected. Now that he obtained it, 
Argentines are going to his office to remind him his commitment. 
 
"... IMF support for Argentina is not an isolated event. It would be 
some reflection of the change in mentality that Strauss Kahn wants 
to implement at the IMF. This could include providing developing 
countries with more representation, increasing their quota 
 
percentages at the IMF Board... Strauss Kahn publicly expressed his 
interest in granting Latin America greater 'weight' at the IMF." 
 
- "The US, Turkey and the Armenian genocide" 
 
Leading "Clarn" editorializes (10/20) "A statement passed by the 
influential US Congress Foreign Relations Committee against the 
genocide of the Armenian people, which committed between 1915 and 
1923, has unleashed the most serious crisis in the US-Turkish 
relationship. 
 
"While President George W. Bush rejected the congressional 
statement..., this was not enough - the Turkish government took 
offense, withdrew its ambassador to Washington and threatened to 
take retaliation, which could also include its intervention in 
Northern Iraq. 
 
"The denial of such abominable and internationally acknowledged 
historic fact still generates tension... 
 
"The issue harasses the US foreign policy, which used reasons of 
principles to justify its military interventions. It had 
international support and legality in the case of the Balkan war but 
it did not in the case of Iraq. 
 
"It is worthwhile to recall that no military force was able to 
prevent the killings and genocides occurred during the 20th century. 
The acknowledgement, condemnation and punishment of crimes against 
humanity are a necessary road towards preventing new genocides."
