What started my displeasure was the inability of the French and the Brazilians to put any concerted effort together to collaborate.
PARIS, July 7 (Xinhua) -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva discussed hereon Tuesday the cooperation between the two countries on the search operation and investigation following the June 1 air crash of Air France Flight 447 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. "There is a black hole. This is not normal," Sarkozy said at a joint news conference with Lula.
Sarkozy said Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Cooperation Minister Alain Joyandet were headed to Senegal to see "how we can avoid this black hole, this void in communications."

Dare I anticipate exasperation among members here who read all the way to the end where it says:
Lula rejected French claims that they were denied access to the autopsies. "There is nothing to hide," he said. Sarkozy and Lula also called for "a more democratic world order, one founded in greater solidarity and justice," to give emerging economies more say in international finance and justice.
Lula insisted that now be the right time for a South American country to host its first Olympics.
