Now that she has shown herself dependent on U.S. forces there, Aquino may be hopelessly compromised when negotiations on renewing the leases begin shortly. Says a Filipino intelligence officer: "Let's not even talk about the U.S. bases, much less discuss them this month. This is a U.S. territory, no less, as demonstrated by the U.S. assistance granted to our ceremonial President...
