I just lost a lengthy response to you, and therefore am very frustrated by SIs shenanigans. Suffice it to say that the main thrust of the EU initiative is to provide a reliable framework for comprehensive cooperation on both security and response issues related to terrorism, but a lot will depend on the implementation. Inter- agency cooperation on the policing and intelligence level, including with the USA, has been pretty good, so far, and a lot of Al Qaida operations have been thwarted in Europe. But you are right, the EU is not in a position to make swift policy decisions, which are likely to remain ad hoc and involve as few parties as possible, for example, the affected nation and its principle benefactors in a given instance. Spain has been arresting a lot of people. I know of no larger responses planned. Morocco per se is not implicated, and the kingdom is cooperative with police investigations, so I would not anticipate bombing. I would like to know, in detail, what Kerry thinks he can do better..........
