Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

S E C R E T MADRID 003833 SIPDIS PLEASE PASS TO EB/ESC, EUR/ERA, EUR/WE E.O. 12958: DECL: 10/01/2014 TAGS: PREL, PTER, KTFN, SP, Counterterrorism SUBJECT: NEW IRAQ EXECUTIVE ORDER REF: (A) MADRID 03533 (B) STATE 194466 Classified By: Whitney Baird, REASON 1.4 (B) and (D) (S) EconOff spoke on 10/1/04 with MFA SubDirector for the Near East, Alberto Moreno, re: the new Iraq Executive Order. Moreno said that the Order was "good". However, the GOS does not plan at the moment to change and/or introduce legislation along the lines of the U.S. Iraq Executive Order. Morenos said the GOS would welcome information from the U.S. on specific cases of Spain-related Iraq insurgency financing. He noted, however, that even with the "best will in the world", there was no "mechanism" in Spain to block financing for "insurgents", unless one could also show that said "insurgents" also supported and/or were terrorists. He mentioned the example of Moqtada al Sadr, clearly an insurgent, but somebody the Iraqui government might want to include in a political settlement. Morenos said his comments were the GOS position on the Iraq Executive Order. ARGYROS
