Noriega wants crackdown on Argentine "piqueteros"

According to an Agence France Presse report from today, Roger Noriega --Bush's awful Ambassador to the OAS (I hear that Noriega doesn't even speak Spanish)-- is putting pressure on the Argentine government to crack down on the country's "piqueteros," the poor and unemployed picketers who have reportedly been blocking roads, occupying McDonald's restaurants and taking over the offices of multinational firms (God forbid!!).

Fortunately, the Argentine government no longer takes its orders from Washington; Argentina's Foreign Minister Rafael Bielsa criticized Noriega's recent statements about the demonstrators, saying "In all honesty, the Argentine government is fed up with Mr. Noriega's meddling in Argentina's internal affairs."
