Tony Blair and his fellow leaders are scheduled to meet at a crisis summit in the building today. EU officials said the telephones of Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Austria had all been tapped, but dismissed speculation in the French media that the CIA was responsible.

Not surprised it got buried back that far, though, but wouldn't read too much into the burying. Not yet, at least. "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life.
