"Opposition protest accuses Spain of ETA surrender"
By Ben Harding

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MADRID (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators protested at an opposition rally in Madrid on Saturday to vent their rage at what they say is the Spanish government's "surrender" to Basque separatists ETA.

Angry at a government decision to grant house arrest to a multiple killer from ETA after he fell dangerously ill on hunger strike, protesters waved red and yellow Spanish flags as they marched up Madrid's main 12-lane avenue, shouting for Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to resign.

"This is the last straw. We're fed up with this man trying to dismantle Spain," business consultant Asuncion Casanova, 50 told Reuters. "I used to think Zapatero was an exciting character, with purpose and ideas, but now, no way."

Flanked by Popular Party (PP) councilors from the Basque Country conservative opposition leader Mariano Rajoy marched behind a banner declaring, "Spain for freedom. No more concessions to ETA."

"The government had to twist the rules, trample on procedure and trick the Spanish to free an insatiable terrorist," Rajoy told the crowd.

"They are demands the terrorists imposed on the government to prove its goodwill. This is the toll the government has paid to negotiate. ETA doesn't want peace, it's looking for victory."

The PP leader billed the mass rally as the most important demonstration in Spain's 30-year democracy.

The government called off the peace process after ETA shattered a nine-month ceasefire by bombing Madrid airport in late December, killing two people.

ALL OUT ATTACK

Though government opponents have repeatedly taken to the streets in the past year, Saturday's protest is the first to be organized by the PP. Commentators say that is a further sign the PP has moved to all-out attack over Zapatero's handling of the Basque conflict -- formerly an area of bipartisan consensus. "

There is this news program in the USA, called 60 Minutes.
And on that news program, last Sunday, a story aired that might be of some interest.

A few points of clarification:

• It isn't just me, this is a team effort.

• I've never actually attacked any web site - I just publish information which has lead service providers to make an informed decision to discontinue services to various web sites. Sometimes I deliver that information myself. Most of the time I leave that work to volunteers.

• I didn't quit my day job, I was laid off, and I turned that into an opportunity to make a business out of my counter-terrorism 'hobby'. That was in 2003, and it took about nine months to get the business up and running well enough to keep me employed full time.

• There is a certain truth to the rodeo clown analogy, just keep in mind that there is a reason why people have nightmares about clowns.

• This is a high-risk enterprise. If you are not sure how you will respond to being on the receiving end of gunfire, look elsewhere for gainful employment.
