Is any one shocked? Now step back and grab some smaller pieces: M.E. men caught taking video's of ferry's-- M.E. men caught video-taping around reservoirs-- M.E. men caught video taping airports-- How many times are we going to be told these are isolated incidences and that those involved were questioned and released? I truly resent how our gov't thinks we're

THAT STUPID

I would be very mad if terrorists bombed the Golden Gate Bridge. I live near it. Every month I go across it into San Francisco. It's a really cool bridge.

"It was not immediately clear why Ghalyoun was released in April or re-arrested Tuesday."

Morroco comes to mind...

Well, at least he AND his buddies are in custody now.

I was listening to Spanish radio today (the Spanish are addicted to talk radio, and have been for years) and they were wondering why, exactly, so many of the terrorists have shown up in Spain. One of the participants gave 4 reasons: Proximity (Spain is just across the Straits of Gibraltar from North Africa); the fact that anything Arab gets special treatment (European guilt complex); a third thing that I don't remember but that wasn't very significant; and the fact that the police have been busy with ETA (Basque terrorists).

When they did a poll, it turned out that most people (Spaniards) believed that it was because Spain was too tolerant of anything Arab - that is, they didn't arrest illegals from North Africa, tended to ignore crimes committed by them, etc.

This is true, but having spent a lot of time in Spain, I can tell you that Spain is probably better than most European countries in being realistic about the effect of an enormous influx of Muslims. In fact, Spain takes in fewer than France, although the problem is that it does not act aggressively in keeping out illegals.

But the politically correct EU has made it very hard for the Spanish to do what they would really like to do, which is clamp down and keep their country to themselves.

Still, I think Spain has done a great job. While a lot of the terrorists passed through Spain and were not caught while they were there (remember, they passed through Florida, too, and weren't caught there, either), the Spanish police and security forces have done a truly fine job of nabbing these people and getting their hands on the evidence, which is almost as important. ¡Viva España!

If they destroy the Golden Gate Bridge I will just lose it completely!
