I try to re-write the first couple of paragraphs in more ideomatic English. If you think my interpretation is accurate, I'll do more.

Today, another section of the bombed-out shell known as "the official version of 3/11" has collapsed.

No Central Mastermind

The three terrorists charged by the Public Prosecutors as the leaders of the attack were acquitted by the Supreme court, at least of charges related to their role as "masterminds" of the attack. In particular, the terrorist known as Mohamed the Egyptian, who was long believed to have been the top ideologist of the attack, was even acquitted of the charge of belonging to an armed band; the reason given was that he was already on trial for this offense in a separate proceeding in an Italian court. Another of those believed by the Public Prosecutor to have been a leader of the attack, Hassan El Haski, was not convicted for his instigation of the attack; indeed, the length of his sentence for "belonging to an armed band" was reduced on appeal.

Islamist Cell Involvement? Forgettaboutit.

Two members of the so-called "Virgen del Coro" cell, who were the only link between 3/11 plot and the world of radical Islam, were flat-out acquitted. Specifically, one Basel Ghalyoun, whose DNA had been found in the Leganes apartment that later exploded under mysterious circumstances, and Mouhannad Almallah Dabas, who at one point was said to be the leader (one of a succesion of "masterminds") of the massacre plot, were both acquitted by the court.

As if that weren't enough, the Supreme Court found and stated explicitly in it's written decision that the perpetrators of the Madrid attacks were "a conspiracy or terrorist organization different and independent from Al Qaeda," even though (in the words of the Court's decision) "there could exist an ideological connection to the basic principles" of that Islamist organization.

It is far better so, steely tom.

I try to do the closest translation from the original, sometimes maintaining phrase structures that are not usually utilized in English. Moreover, Luis del Pino cannot write some things plainly, in order to avoid any intent to first push him and then catch him in a lie.
