Ah,wayover ! I posted the same ideas-with some documentation-on one of the liberal websites. They reacted promptly....by pulling my post altogether.

I don't know how many people here would be interested,but I did a bit of research on "el Partido Socialista Obrero Espanol" ( sorry-I don't know how to add the proper "tilde" mark to Espanol !)otherwise known as the Socialist Workers' Party ; on the Maoist terror group ETA (Euzkadi Ta Askatsuna), and on EE (Euskadiko Ezkerra) the political arm of ETA.

If anyone is interested,post a comment,or use the direct comment, and I'll work it up.

I would be interested. This should be good (forgive the tone, but I would really like to know where you get your information) I live in Spain and follow politics very closely here. As far as I know, the political wing of ETA (ultra-nationalists, not maoists) was until very recently Batasuna. They were outlawed either in late 2002 or early 2003, don't remember exactly, by the Partido Popular. They were reincarnated in the Basque parliament as Sozialista Abertzaleak, and outlawed again in a case that went to the supreme court after the Basque parliament refused to comply with the expulsion order. Batasuna's predecesors were Euskal Herritarrok and Herri Batasuna.

The Partido Socialista de Euskadi - Euskadiko Ezquerra is the regional branch of the national socialist party (PSOE), NOT the political wing of ETA. Many socialists (members of this party) have been assasinated by ETA (right along with PP members). Even most members of the Partido Popular would be shocked and angered to hear you call PSE-EE "the political arm of ETA".

As to wayoverontheright's comment:

"This looks like a frame up to me, since when did Socialists not consider their own citizens to be expendable to achieve their grand vision?"

The conservative (PP) government is still in office and will be for about the next month. Are they involved in the frame up too (this frame up that cost them the election)? They must be, because today they arrested (so far) five more morrocans in connection with the case...

I can find plenty of nasty things to say about the socialists without making stuff up.
