It was neither, it was simply what they honestly thought at the time, from limited evidence. ETA terrorists had been caught trying to move explosives the previous month. They have tried to hit trains late last year. It was a natural supposition. But there was no misleading and no withholding anything. We knew instantly when they found things out - the van, the tapes, the Moroccan suspects, etc. The outgoing government caught people tied to AQ, before the election. It is absurd to pretend they hide a damned thing. The left is just lying straight to our face about that. They thought AQ benefited them and wanted it to be AQ, said so, and preemptively accused the government of wanting otherwise and lying about it, when it simply did not such thing.

hide = hid. Not = no. Typos, sorry.

I think so, too. Of course, the media supports the left, so naturally, they had little trouble getting their lies out.
I got the saddest letter from some friends in Spain today, who are just humiliated by this and very, very upset by it. We have to remember that 10 million Spaniards did NOT vote for the Socialists.
