SUBJECT: FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THE US; CHAVEZ; US AMBASSADOR BOLTON'S 
RESIGNATION; WTO RULING ON TECHINT; CLIMATE CHANGE; 12/05/06 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Key international stories today include the implications of 
Venezuelan President Chavez' re-election; the resignation of US 
Ambassador Bolton; freedom of speech in the US; the WTO's ruling on 
Techint; and climate change. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES 
 
- "Freedom without taboos" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" carries an op-ed story by Enrique Tomas 
Bianchi, secretary to the Supreme Court of Justice, who writes 
(12/05) "The publication of a work by University Professors John J. 
Mearsheimer (Chicago) and Stephen M. Walt (Harvard) has shocked the 
US. In their work, they wonder about the alleged power of pro-Israel 
lobbying interests on US policy. 
 
"... This reveals that traditional US respect for freedom of 
expression still prevails and allows for the discussion of key 
points of the country's foreign policy. 
 
"Now that the so-called global war on terrorism has impaired some 
constitutional rights and guarantees, Freedom of Speech should 
continue being protected because, according to the beautiful words 
from Judge Learned Hand in an old ruling, the First Amendment 
supposes that 'the right conclusions are probably better reached 
through a crowd of voices that by means of any kind of selection 
made by an authority. For many, this is and will always be 
nonsensical but all of us have embarked on it.'" 
 
- "The US seeks to deepen the dialogue (with Caracas)" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading "Clarin," 
comments (12/05) "The White House managed to prevent Venezuela from 
gaining a seat at the UN Security Council, but it totally failed in 
its silent support for the Venezuelan opposition and it will now 
have to live six more years with the man who labeled US President 
George W. Bush as the 'Devil' - Hugo Chavez. 
 
"... A high-ranking OAS official said 'At least, we have Tom Shannon 
in charge of US diplomacy for Latin America.' 'He is a man who seeks 
dialogue, not confrontation, as happened during the time of Roger 
Noriega and Otto Reich.' 
 
"Yesterday, Shannon said he expected Chavez to show more interest 
from now on in deepening the dialogue with the US. 'We do not want a 
confrontational relationship. We have always sought a way to deepen 
the dialogue with the Chavez administration and we hope that he 
shows more interest in this.' According to Shannon, elections (in 
Venezuela) were 'a democratic expression of the Venezuelan people,' 
and the US is committed to 'democracy' in the region." 
 
- "The year in which Latin America confirmed its 'tilt' to the 
left" 
 
Pilar Conci, international columnist of daily-of-record "La Nacion," 
writes (12/05) "Latin America has confirmed its 'tilt' to the left 
in 2006. 
 
"... The boom of left-wing leaders had different causes in each 
country, depending on the national frameworks... Leftist leaders are 
far from making up a homogeneous bloc and instead, they represent 
two trends - a more radical trend, which is led by Chavez, and the 
moderate trend, which is represented by Lula and Bachelet. 
 
"The progress made by the left wing in the region can be understood 
as a consequence of an overall feeling of distrust toward 
traditional political parties, inequality in income distribution, 
and an increasing poverty rate, which affects 40 percent of Latin 
Americans. 
 
"... A crucial issue will be US-Latin American ties. Washington's 
only allies are Mexico, Colombia and most of Central American 
countries... The victories of Correa in Ecuador and Ortega in 
Nicaragua were the two latest setbacks in the US's attempt to 
recover its clout in the region. 
 
"For his part, Chavez will attempt to expand his Bolivarian 
revolution and will continue his crusade to keep US influence in 
Latin America at bay. However, analysts agree that the Venezuelan 
will hardly obtain more power than what he has obtained so far or 
that he will be able to expand his Bolivarian revolution. For 
instance, Correa and Ortega are not likely to implement structural 
changes (like those implemented by Morales) or cut their ties with 
Washington." 
 
- "Chavez's purpose is unlimited re-election" 
 
Jorge Elias, on special assignment in Caracas for daily-of-record 
"La Nacion," writes (12/05) "As soon as he knew of his landslide 
victory in the elections, Hugo Chavez promised to deepen the 
socialism of the 21st century, his Bolivarian revolution and the 
'red' motto of his campaign... 
 
"Chavez's project of establishing a 'life presidency' disturbs the 
opposition, particularly because he did not speak of a six-year 
period, like the current one, but of seven years... And because he 
did not mention the possibility of calling the opposition or moving 
forward elections for the Constituent Assembly, which is also 
dominated by the official party." 
 
- "US Ambassador to the UN resigns" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading "Clarin," 
comments (12/05) "The resignation of US Ambassador to the UN, John 
Bolton, again posed a major question - will Bush change his policy 
in Iraq? 
 
"Bolton is one of the few remaining neo-conservative members who 
pressured US President George W. Bush to invade Iraq, following the 
resignation of Donald Rumsfeld... 
 
"... Obviously enough, Bush could have insisted but in the end he 
decided to accept Bolton's resignation, a gesture that some 
interpreted as a preference for implementing changes in Washington's 
policy on Iraq. 
 
"An acid test will take place this week. The bipartisan committee 
created to analyze alternatives in Iraq... will present its 
report... the committee will advise that troop withdrawal not only 
be subject to Iraqis assuming responsibility for their safety but 
also to political deals to be reached with the opposition. The 
committee is also expected to advise to hold negotiations with 
Iraq's neighbors, including Iran and Syria. As a matter of fact, no 
one knows for sure what the report will say." 
 
- "The WTO makes a new decision in favor of Techint in its dispute 
with the US" 
 
Business-financial "El Cronista" (12/05) reports "According to a FM 
communiqu, the WTO issued a decision including harsh criticism of 
the US and favoring Argentina in its dispute on antidumping rights 
on exports of seamless tubes for the oil industry. 
 
"The decision favors Tenaris-Siderca, a company of the Techint 
Group. 
 
"The dispute between Techint and the US started in 1995 when the US 
banned the import of tubes, Siderca's specialty. 
 
"... The WTO's decision inflicted a blow to the commercial 
legislation of one of the allegedly most liberal countries of the 
world - it not only argues that the dumping charge against Siderca 
is invalid but also that 'certain aspects of the US antidumping 
legislation... are not compatible with the WTO's set of rules' 
(according to the Foreign Ministry)." 
 
3. EDITORIALS 
 
- "Chavez and here" 
 
An editorial in liberal, English-language "Buenos Aires Herald" 
reads (12/05) "The re-election of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez 
with an increased majority... also has its importance and its 
lessons for Argentina. 
 
"The Chavez landslide comes just when relations between the two 
nations have entered a delicate stage, largely because of a country 
distant to them both: Iran. Venezuela's hyperactive ambassador to 
this country Roger Capella has been recalled to Caracas because of 
his work in stirring up pickets who have not only become suddenly 
more hostile to President Kirchner but also increasingly lend 
themselves to pro-Iran demonstrations. This was on a direct 
collision course with the receptive attitudes shown by Kirchner 
towards the calls of the US in general and the New York Jewish 
community in particular for a clarification of Iran's role in the 
1994 terrorist bomb destruction of the AMIA. And yet Kirchner was 
positive enough about the Chavez re-election, Argentina is in hock 
to Venezuela for its bond purchases and fuel supplies and Federal 
Planning Minister Julio De Vido, Kirchner's right-hand man within 
the Cabinet, works relentlessly to advance the interaction between 
Argentina and Venezuela." 
 
- "Climate change calls for action" 
 
An editorial in daily-of-record "La Nacion" reads (12/05) "The 
recent information issued in different parts of the world on climate 
change is in line with the worst predictions about the subject. In 
this regard, a UK-sponsored work presents a catastrophic view of the 
future of the world in only fifty years unless substantial measures 
are quickly taken all over the world. 
 
"... The consequences of 'green gashouse emissions' can already be 
perceived but they will be worse... 
 
"It is necessary to make investments to produce new technologies, 
promote international cooperation and implement actions to gradually 
lower gas emissions that raise the world temperature. 
 
"World public opinion calls for actions from leaders to foster the 
reduction of green gashouse emissions, particularly those of 
industries and cars, and the promotion of more efficient energy. 
There is no higher interest than preserving life in the world and 
the future of new generations. Nothing less than this is at stake."
