1. (C) Per reftel instructions, poloff met with MFA Deputy
Director General for the Middle East Alberto Moreno Humet to
advise him of the 10/6 release of DCI Special Advisor
Duelfer's report on Iraq WMD. Moreno requested details
regarding the nature and scope of the ISG investigation,
after which he commented that he would not be surprised to
see a few Spanish names mentioned, particularly Popular Party
figures from the Aznar administration. He noted that a
Spanish news magazine had released a story several months ago
alleging links between leading Spanish political figures,
including Aznar's Ambassador to the U.S. Javier Ruperez, and
NGOs suspected of aiding the Saddam Hussein regime. Moreno
said he expected the Spanish Embassy in Washington would take
the lead in analyzing and responding to any component of the
report relevant to the GOS.


2. (U) We will report on any local repercussions resulting
from the release of the DCI Special Advisor's report.
