that's not entirely accurate. There are three different reports coming out of Spain: 1) is that there was a strong match with his fingerprints and the likelihood that somebody with close ties to AlQaeda operatives, as the suspect has been previously & publicly known to have engaged, is highly suspect in of itself given the odds against such a connection if merely pure circumstance. 2) is that there was an 8 point match on the fingerprints, close enough that the match identified him as the only person in the world so close but other uncertainties remain. 3) the story orginating out of the leftist press in Spain & cojoined by sympathizers here in the US that the guy is a poor muslim, admittedly supportive of AlQaeda types in prior circumstances, but is obviously innocent of such dastardly deeds and another purported liberal victim of the Patriot Act. US authorities have not commented nor contributed much, if anything, further.

The suspect claims that he has never traveled to Spain, but we know that the terrorist produce fake passports. I read in FrontPage Magazine that Atta could have entered Prague using such fake passports:
"Epstein also explains how Atta could have traveled to Prague at that time without the Czechs having a record of such a trip. Spanish intelligence has found evidence that two Algerians provided Atta a false passport." http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.asp?ID=13323

The fact that poor Brandon is associated with convicted terrorists caught planning to kill Americans doesn't help his case.
