The same military intelligence that saw weapons of massive destruction
on Iraq, now sees a conflict where there are only old nostalgias. "They
are crazy these romans" (Obelix)

Asunto: The CIA recognizes the Olivenza dispute
The CIA recognizes the Olivença dispute
For the first time in its Annual Report on International disputes, the
CIA has included the dispute of Olivenza, a territory where Portugal and
Spain have still not delimited their respective borders. Since the
beginning of August the CIA has made an express reference to the
periodic Portuguese claims over that territory, for two centuries
occupied by Spain in contravention of International Treaties. The
dispute over Olivenza has been referred to by the North Amerian Agency
separately and in the same terms, in the indexes of conflicts of
Portugal as well as Spain. Until now Portugal had been shown without any
disputes of an international nature, in contrast to Spain's appreciable
list of disputes. Spain's large circulation national newspapers ("El
Pais", "El Mundo", "ABC", and "El Periodico") as well as National
Television ("TVE") and the Regional newspapers have given great coverage
to the news, and have criticized the CIA. The Spanish media have gone to
great efforts to devalue or obscure the dispute that exists between
Portugal and Spain. Meanwhile, the Portuguese State continues not to
recognize Spanish sovereignty over the Olivenza territories, illegally
occupied 200 years ago.
