Details on how the Spanish police are tracking the bombers. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101040322-600874,00.html If it was indeed related to al Qaeda, the Spain bombing will have problems for the government. Although 90% of the Spanish population opposed the Bush attack on Iraq, the Aznar government went ahead and joined Bush in the war. Fully a quarter of the population of Spain came out in street marches to mourn the victims. The government declared three days of mourning. In contrast, there was no official mourning in the USA after 9.11. Instead, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and others backslapped with each with gleeful grins at an event at the Pentagon. One can assume that the UK will be an upcoming target. yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
