Dan Dimancescu, Romania’s honorary Boston consul, said that his country was particularly vulnerable given the country’s fragile nature. “Romania is still a very fragile country institutionally,” he said. “EU entry will bring some vitality, but it will bulldoze cultural identity.” The cultural loss would largely be attributed...

...German intelligence report cites another deal, an "urgent request [by the United States] to avert pressure from the EU side [on Morocco] because of human-rights abuses in connection with [Zammar's]arrest, because Morocco was a valuable partner in the fight against terrorism." Grey, who had the report translated, says he obtained the classified report from a German investigator, who remains anonymous. The German government has acknowledged that they dropped the charges against the Syrian intelligence officers because of their cooperation in anti-terrorism, but they deny that the decision was specifically linked to the Zammar case...
