EUObserver: "The EU is set to urge the US to allow visa free travel to citizens from new member states and Greece or face similar restrictions from the European side.
'We took president Bush seriously when he said he wanted to lift restrictions on visas for travel... We think it is time the US does that,' an EU official told journalists ahead of the high-level meeting.
But he added that despite all the promises, 'We don't see that progress. Just the opposite, we see a tendency in Washington towards scrapping the visa waiver programme for security reasons.'
The EU will review its own travel policy in July and is threatening to impose retaliatory measures, such as visa requirements on US diplomats or soldiers travelling to Europe or economic and trade sanctions, if Washington does not change its stance."
Europe should consider arresting all CIA officers when they enter any of the European countries.

JerusalemPost: "Officials in US President George W. Bush's administration turned down a 2003 Iranian offer to begin talks with the US, recognize Israel, and end support of Palestinian terror organizations, The Washington Post reported on Sunday.
Former administration officials said that in failing to consider the overtures made by Teheran, the US missed an opportunity to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear capability."
