Reuters (yes, them again) has a story about Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis, the current ‘president’ of the EU, a man who should not be confused with the laughable Romano Prodi, who is ‘president’ of the EU commission (the two roles are different – fittingly enough for an organization that is always going in circles, the EU has a rotating presidency: it passes from country to country every six months). Well, Simitis, it turns out, is in the Reuters camp. He’s blaming the eight leaders for taking this initiative. So far as I recall, he made no such criticism of Schroeder and Chirac.
