Thanks for the reference. I think there is less to the comment than meets the eye. The US will still be pulling the strings, and has taken pains to make that so. Think about it. How can the US allow its rubber meets the road goals to be deflected by an unelected body? That is too risky. Granted, if the interim council goes off the reservation, the US will have to respect that. The US has tried to preclude that. That is my sense of the matter.
