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...

What I am suggesting may be totally and completely wrong in the end, but the fact that a lame duck government's investigative arm is arresting people doesn't put the kabosh to it. Are they to a man loyal to the current regime? Are they loyal but simply being misled? I'm sorry I wouldn't trust our own CIA under this kind of pressure.

I just can't bring myself to give al-Qaida credit for understanding this complex election dynamic, then seeing enough benefit to act on it. The only one who had sufficient motive and COULD grasp the outcome, is Zapatero and/or his minions.

1300 troops. Big deal. Iraq is still a quagmire for them, and the clock is ticking toward the day when Iraqis take over, and it will then BE OVER for al-Qaida in Iraq.

"I just can't bring myself to give al-Qaida credit for understanding this complex election dynamic, then seeing enough benefit to act on it."

I read here, and honestly I would be hard pressed to dig it out, but I could if you really need the cite (I have seen it several times), that there was a posting on an islamic al-Qaeda friendly site, late last year or early this year (my brain is a little overloaded trying to keep clear who said what when), that they should attempt exactly this sort of thing. When I come across it I will post it, it's worth considering.

As to loyalty to the PP, no, not all the investigators are loyal I am sure, many of the people running the investigation are just civil servants. BUT now you are suggesting that a large number of people within the government are conducting a fake investigation with human props (arrested morrocans) without the knowledge of the leadership. And that the good people mixed in there (there would have to be SOME, right?) are really dumb and don't see what's going on. Possible? Yeah... I guess...
