    REF: A. BRASILIA 2420

         ¶B. 11/15 JEAN CLARK EMAIL

    Classified By: AMBASSADOR E.A. WAYNE FOR REASONS 1.4 (B AND D).

    Summary
    -------
    ¶1. (S/NF) Post understands that Treasury proposes the
    designation under E.O. 13224, on November 21, of nine
    individuals and two organizations operating in the tri-border
    region.  Post does not object to the specific individuals and
    organizations that will be subject to the designation.
    However, Post believes that for operational and political
    reasons the decision and announcement should be postponed.
    Post believes the eventual designation of these targets would
    be more effective if approached on a case by case basis.
    Post fully supports AmEmbassy Brasilia arguments (Ref a),
    particularly with regards to taking into account local
    sensitivities, the need to coordinate with local and regional
    security and intelligence agencies, and the timing in
    relation to the early December 3 plus 1 meeting.
    Furthermore, we note that an announcement not coordinated
    with our regional partners could jeopardize ongoing DEA and
    SIMO operations targeting several of these individuals and
    organizations.  Finally, this is a particularly sensitive
    time in Argentina following the release of the AMIA
    investigative report/indictment.  Moving too rapidly and
    without coordinating the public designation of these
    individuals could be counterproductive and reverse the
    positive momentum building in recent weeks and months.  While
    fully supporting the designations, Post recommends Treasury
    postpone them until they can be integrated into and
    coordinated with ongoing operational timetables.  End Summary.

    InterAgency Agreement to Postpone Nov. 21 Designation
    --------------------------------------------- -----
    ¶2. (S/NF) We understand from the State Department (Ref B)
    that Treasury is proposing to designate under E.O. 13224 on
    November 21, 2006, nine individuals and two organizations
    operating in the tri-border region in support of Hezbollah.
    While none of the individuals/organizations on the list is
    from Argentina, Post has significant equities at stake that
    could be jeopardized by an uncoordinated and precipitous
    announcement.  Member agencies of Post's Law Enforcement
    Committee, including Legatt, DEA, SIMO, DAO, Treasury OTA,
    ECON, and POL sections, have contributed and cleared on the
    following response.  We appreciate the opportunity to provide
    input into this process.

    Post's Concerns with Uncoordinated Designation
    --------------------------------------------- -
    ¶3. (S/NF) The majority of these individuals and organizations
    are well known to agencies at Post.  We strongly support
    their eventual designation under E.O. 13224.  However, we
    have serious concerns regarding the timing of the proposed
    designations and the lack of advance warning to our GoA
    interlocutors.

    -- (S/NF) Ongoing enforcement operations are targeting most
    of the individuals and organizations listed, and publicly
    aligning them with terrorism and terrorist activities,
    without coordinating with the agencies undertaking the
    operations -- or collaborating with local and regional
    security and intelligence services -- would jeopardize the
    tremendous amount of operational equities in place.

    -- (S/NF) As AmEmbassy Brasilia notes (Ref A), the
    governments of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay deny that
    there is evidence of ""operational acts of terrorism"" in the
    tri-border area, and we publicly agreed with this statement
    in the 2005 3 plus 1 meeting communique.  We also committed
    to ""the prompt exchange of information in order to deter
    illegal acts.""  Therefore, public designation of individuals

    and organizations operating in this region, and without prior
    notification to and discussions with the other countries
    involved, would be seen as a repudiation of our previous
    public statement, and could disrupt the early December 3 plus
    1 discussions.

    GoA Reaction and Case for Delay
    -------------------------------
    ¶4. (S/NF) There is a strong potential for political fallout
    locally from the sudden U.S. domestic designation of these
    individuals and entities.  Although we do not believe the GoA
    would object in principle to any of the targets proposed for
    domestic designation, we do expect that the GoA, and
    particularly Argentine security and intel agencies, would
    object strenuously to an uncoordinated announcement.  This
    would complicate and likely hinder future bilateral law
    enforcement cooperation.  We argue, therefore, that the case
    for postponing the designations is compelling:

    -- (S/NF) Delaying the designations would give Post agencies
    time to collaborate locally and integrate the coming
    designations into specific ongoing operations, and would
    further allow us to use the publicity to best effect.  Moving
    forward with the designations on the current timetable would,
    on the contrary, contribute to souring relations with local
    law enforcement contacts.

    -- (S/NF) In addition, there is relatively strong
    anti-American sentiment in Argentina, and the Kirchner
    administration's natural inclination is to reject U.S.
    pressure.  Therefore, a rushed and uncoordinated designation
    could contribute to alienating both bilateral and public
    support, just as the fallout from the AMIA investigative
    report and indictments is aligning Argentine and U.S.
    interests and driving a wedge between the public and
    Hezbollah supported groups and activities.  Not only might
    this play a role in undermining GoA support in the tri-border
    region, it could complicate our longer term effort to
    convince the GoA to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist group.
     Already some press reports have accused the GoA of being a
    tool of the U.S. and Israel on the AMIA case.  These
    sentiments could easily find widespread echo if the U.S. acts
    unilaterally.

    Post Comment and Recommendation
    -------------------------------
    ¶5. (S/NF) Post is extremely supportive of Treasury overall
    goals of designating terrorist organizations, facilitators,
    financiers, and inciters, and they are a crucial aspect of
    the overall effort to target and take down terrorist groups
    and individuals.  However, they will be more effective if we
    integrate them into an overall operational plan.
    Specifically, if Treasury's actions are organized to coincide
    with takedowns, arrests, and seizures by local authorities,
    the impact would be much greater and further reaching.  At a
    minimum, close consultation and coordination with local
    authorities will help assure much more productive results.
    Therefore, we invite Treasury officials to visit Argentina
    and the region, participate in meetings with local security
    and Intel forces, and discuss how to move forward with the
    designations -- case by case -- so that they serve as the
    culmination of successful, multilateral counter-terrorist
    operations.  End Comment.
    WAYNE
