| Spain's Ex-Prime Minister to Testify |
| 2004-09-15 |
| Spanish lawmakers investigating the Madrid train bombings decided Wednesday that former Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar should testify about what his government did with intelligence warnings that the country could suffer a revenge attack for supporting the Iraq war. The 16-member panel decided unanimously to hear Aznar's testimony but did not set a date. Aznar was prime minister at the time of the March 11 attack, which killed 191 people and has been blamed on Islamic militants linked to al-Qaida. Aznar's conservative Popular Party has been accused of lying when it blamed Basque separatists for the train bombing even after evidence of an Islamic link emerged. Aznar has admitted calling editors of major news outlets the night of the attack to plug the Basque angle. |

| #13 Ship, here is another look at that Sat-photo. The oil companies get their men out of arms way early but let's hope the oilmen have totally moved northward or flown out to much higher ground, like Chicago or New York :) |

| #9 Tensi was a failed draft choice Sid the Gillman made. Gillman had a direct line to Florida State before they were good.... Joe Gibbs and B. Bowden were assistant coaches at that point. |

| #3 Bambi was Lance Alworth's nickname (of the SD Chargers AFL team in the 60's). This appeasement pussy doesn't deserve it. How about "Craven Pussy" - it fits better |

| #2 Zapatero's known as Bambi in Spain. And that was coined by members of his own party. The idiot was nominated only because the party elders expected to be trounced by Aznar in the elctions. |

| #1 Spain lost a good man in Jose Maria Aznar, to be replaced by a commie Mr. Bean look-a-like. Sad |
