I hold Ben Bot still as one of the more respectable ministers of the Dutch government, and applauded him when he took a noticeable critical stance (more critical than many other EU ministers) towards Rice. The more baffled I was when the next day the slate had been completely wiped clean by one single statement, especially one that remains dubious enough, something soj showed in one of his CIA series.

In the meantime, this story has not stopped rolling at all - and that to me is the most important right now.
