Interesting, but Occam sez the terrorists were hoping to scare the Spanish public out of the Iraq war and succeeded.
Fankly, this sounds like the 'Bush knew'conspiracies of 9/11. Only it is being perpetrated by the Right. There is know doubt that the islamists had motive to do this. Would a bunch of socialists, as vile as their politics are, perpetrate an act on their own people to gain political power.
Oops! I better stop or i'll kill my initial statement! =)
makes you want to puke if it is true. it also makes Harry Reid look like a piker compared to what the spanish socilaists have pulled off.

Eerie stuff, especially considering El Mundo is definitely not a right wing paper.
I would add one more small straw to the pile. I admired the Spanish police for their continuing work tracking down and arresting the perpetrators after the Muslim friendly Socialists under Aznar came into power. Seemingly Aznar knuckled under to the terrorists but the police did not.
I did sometimes wonder, however, how the Spanish police could act so independently of the new government, since Aznar is clearly a control freak. If the police were complicit and working with Aznar, that would certainly explain that little mystery. They weren't working in defiance of the new Prime Minister, they were working for him all along.
It sure explains a lot, though, doesn't it?
Will someone translate this in Spanish and publish it on the Internet, or on a Spanish BBS? I hope it will be lot of fun.
Marking this thread for later.
