Case in point: Perhaps you're not aware--I'm positive you're not--that the "prisoner" peddling the broom handle story has an attorney who is the friend and mentor of that lawyer arrested in Portland yesterday as being tied to the Madrid bombings.
You seem a little over eager to accept and peddle the most lurid of stories instead of sticking to documention that can be verified.
I don't know whether or not the "broom handle story" is actually true. With that caveat, based on the pictures that have been released, I would not be at all surprised to find out that it is true.
