Quoting Ian Smith on Saturday July 16, 2005:

|   US govt interference <i>is</i> a big deal, says Europe

I think these kind of big pronouncements probably need to be taken
with some salt, perhaps a cupful when it is in The Register. There is
usually ongoing talk and speculation about how the root could be managed
differently. Such talk just gains a bit more currency when it can be
contrasted against US government policy.

(By way of a disclaimer, I work for "Europe" as personified in that article)
