El Salvadoran President defends CAFTA
 Elias Antonio Saca, President of El Salvador, wants to do business. That was more or less the gist of his 20 minute speech, in Spanish. "Things have changed since we signed the peace accord 14 years ago," he said. "We no longer talk about rifles and revolutions. We talk about Internet revolutions." Saca noted that Dell has moved into the country, hiring 1,000 customer service agents, and launching a manufacturing operation. And he wants to do more, which is why he's a staunch defender of the newly signed CAFTA. "CAFTA is going to add 1.6% to annual GDP," he said. "It has already allowed us to attract $200 million in foreign investment." And all this, of course, means new jobs. President Saca ended with an invitation to Brainstormers. "We want you as leaders of your companies to participate in our project. I invite you to participate in making El Salvador [an even greater country.]"
