CLARIFICATION- The CIVETS, EAGLES and Next 11 classifications in which Egypt is included — and around which various and sundry sales teams have been building stories — have indeed been around for years, as several readers wrote to point out yesterday. The news was in the fact of the BRICS holding a “summit” in Goa 15-16 October at which to spin their wheels — and at which the notion that Egypt and Argentina had “applied” for membership came up, as the AP noted.

Our coverage of yesterday is here and the BRICS’ Plato-to-NATO “Goa Declaration” (read: desperate cry for relevance) is here in full if you require a sleep aid this evening.
