Why does the CNN not tell the truth?

Because they have an agenda to maintain. CNN is the chief proponent of all leftist Big Lies. It's The Agenda uber alles.

Terminal 4 in Barajas airport is brand new and state-of-the art (completed last February). This is where the explosion took place.

Here are some interior photos of the airport. From what I've been told, it is quite impressive.

ETA is demanding quite a bit from Zapatero. It appears because of this he is loosing popularity from alot of Spanish citizens. If he doesn't back off he will loose the next election. He may be getting cold feet working so closely with ETA and now ETA isn't so pleased.

I look forward to Zapatero being replaced. He's been disastrous for Spain.

Here is a past FR posting about the 3/11 investigations and inside involvement.

Saw this on CNN International in the middle of the night. It was reported to be a car bomb and that a warning had been called in prior to the bomb going off.

It's now nearly 3pm and have not heard a word on any newscasts today. How strange?

It's the Basque separatists who are suspected at this time.

ETA has been threatening to end their truce.

The islamofascists don't call in warnings.

Zapatero has practically announced that he is "negotiating"
with ETA to give away Pais Vasco, and it's hard to see how they'd
benefit from this.


Looks like the ETA just decided that past performance is the best
indicator of future performance.

Their Islamic colleagues probably told the ETA:
"Set off a bomb in Spain...get your way! Hey, it worked for us!"

The airport is nice and keeps getting better. Terminal 4 is the Iberia Airlines terminal, and that was probably why it was chosen. Iberia used to be the state-run airline. It's still a horrible airline, btw, although it is partially privatized now.

Anything is possible. ETA doesn't always act rationally because it is driven by such Marxist hatred that it can barely see straight. Still, I am puzzled by their decision to do this now, and I wonder if the date (beginning of the Muslim holiday of Eid) had any significance to them. A prominent ETA leader in Mexico converted to Islam a few years ago, and there are long-standing connections between ETA and the Islamics.

I thought they left Iraq. If so, what did they do to tick off the terrorists now?

Read the other articles - understand it is Eta, and they are most likely aligned with Al Qaeda - and other sheep farmers.

ETA, al-queda, Hamas, terrorists are terrorists and devolved from the same trash DNA found in NAZI's and Reds.

Death to them all, painfully and timeless, no less.

"understand it is Eta, and they are most likely aligned with Al Qaeda"

This is what I am understanding as well. It makes perfect sense.

In my earlier post, I gave some information based on opinions from my family in Spain. But, since then I have learned from a response that the polls show quite a bit of favortism for Zapatero. I didn't realizes that.
