Madrid Bombing Raises ETA ConcernsPosted on Dec 30, 2006
At least four people were injured when a car bomb exploded at the Madrid airport on Saturday. If the separatist group ETA is responsible, as the Spanish government has charged, the blast would signal the end of a cease-fire that began in March.

“It is generally a sensible position to talk. Only right wing barbarians don’t know that.”
Hmmm, it is impossible to talk to terrorists. That is what Zapatero wanted to do, and look what has happend. Zapatero was wrong giving Cataluña independencie. Now the Basques want it, they’ll certainly “fight” for it.
Report thisTerrorists just want attention, thats what the media gives. A way to stop terrorism is to not give them attention and sooner or later they’ll stop. Because, what’s the point of doing something, if no one cares?
It is nothing to do with right or left wing, it is just bloody common sense!!

“Basque prisoners being held in Southern Spain (where they are routinely tortured - much like the English with accused IRA terrorists)”

Routinely tortured? Just ignorant.

Before we jump on the ETA did it bandwagon, what about the CIA. “Oh, they wouldn’t commit terrorism?” No, then who was it that engineered, among other terrorist acts, the overthrew of both the Guatamalan and the Iranian governments in the early fifties, not to mention the toppling of Salvatore Allende’s socialist government two decades ago in Chile, as well as the still unsolved botulism attacks that were piggy-backed upon 9/11? Why would the CIA do this, other than it’s their modus-operandi? To punish Spain’s socialist government for having pulled its troops out of Iraq, that’s why. It’s called vengeance and it just happens to be one of the CIAs specialties. And if the CIA did it expect ETA separatists to deny any involvement in this latest terrorist act.

Mr. lasart makes sense. It is generally a sensible position to talk. Only right wing barbarians don’t know that.

This was, unfortunately, only a matter of time in the making. The Spanish government, by dragging its feet on the central issue regarding ETA which is the move of Basque prisoners being held in Southern Spain (where they are routinely tortured - much like the English with accused IRA terrorists)to Basque prisons, was inviting violence to ensue. Not negotiating with an institutional terrorist organization does not lead to the end of conflict. Clinton’s talks with Sinn Fein should be the hallmark of a ‘how to’ manual each country needs in dealing with these groups.
Report thisIf successive generations of secret government strikes, intelligence and multi-country cooperation doesn’t work, its time to talk.

Oh man, stop calling ETA separatist. They are separatists, but first of all they are terrorists.
