FREE TRADE! GET YER FREE TRADE!: At a lunch event I was at today, a senior administration official, speaking on background, said that he had "a pretty good idea when and where" a hemispheric agreement inaugurating the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas would be signed. (No promises though about at what point the hemisphere can also expect free beer, free love, or a free lunch. ) The source also said that the administration would be devoting much more attention to security, democratization, and economic development in the hemisphere after the war with Iraq.

Even though we wish the administration would also devote much more attention to Iraq after the war with Iraq, this is good news, if it proves true.
