#2 Mmmm... I would have said Zaragoza was more in central, or eastern Spain. It's in the old kingdom of Aragon, in the Ebro river valley, almost equidistant from Barcelona and San Sebastian.

#5 The 41-year-old Zanibar was sentenced to 29 years in jail in 1996 for murder after burning a compatriot alive at El Ejido in southern Spain. His conversion to radical Islam came after his sentencing.

I believe that's called "natural progression"?

#6 Assisted suicide? Probably. I have been tracking Spanish press and it looks probable the ETA people provided logistics and tecgnical help for the Islamists who killed 199 people in March, 11. Afer the bombings a mearing campaign led by the press, radios and TVs controlled by Jesus Polanco (a friend of the socialists) caused the defeat of the right-wing government on the basis that ETA was innocent and that it was the governemnt who had brought disaster on Spain through its stance on Irak.

Now imagine if that guy had told that ETA had ben involved and that the bombing was linked not to Irak but to Al-Andalus or perhaps to Morroco's ambitions over the Canary Islands.

BTW the police has been suspiciously slow in going after the people who had provided the explosives and there is a woman who semed to have info (she was the mistress of one of the providers) and drowned in front of two policemen who did nothing to rescue her

#7 A Guy in Isolation has a belt? WTF. A Guy in isolation gets no belt, they don't even get a blanket. This is smelly.

#8 This clown burned someone alive BEFORE he converted to Allenism. They were made for each other.

Those cops sure picked a fine time to decide that it was important to remove the green loogies from thier nostrils.

#11 Issue them one orange jumpsuit and one genuine-leather belt. Very effective -- saves the taxpayers a lot of money.
