Diplomacy is about never saying what you really mean. The article even says as much, acknowledging that Vicente Fox is pissed at 10 Downing Street right now.
He's just making hay.
"I'll stop calling the current administration 'Orwellian' when they stop using "1984" as a playbook."
What would be Your attitude, after finding (suspecting) that guys from the same outfit had been helping the US spy on your diplomats {unproven assetion, natch - but so so rabid Neoconman-like; proof optional}.
But still their willingness to be seen as stupid just to cause a fuss still amazed me.
Call me naive...
