That's not going to do it!This is WAR! Not a legal battle. Spain...take a hint of how we handled things in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This speech was given this afternoon in Spain. At that point in time, all fingers were pointing toward ETA, and the supposed email from al-Qaida claiming responsibility hadn't been received.
I don't know Spanish law, but it's possible, even overwhelmingly likely, that it treats domestic terrorism as a law enforcement matter. They're treating it as an Oklahoma City. And, unfortunately, you can't be a member of the EU and have the death penalty.
I have no doubt that the Spanish will do everything they can to determine everyone who is responsible for this act of terror. If there is an ETA component, they'll face life in prison. If it's foreign terrorists, I think the Spanish have more options.
