Surely what seems to be the worst blunder in hunt for ETA terrorists in years, and by the French who really have helped a lot (finally, when starting to realize that they themselves were potential targets, as proven on Tuesday) in the last years (30+ detentions since start of year), this really hurts.

Apart from this big time investigative and PR disaster, what I find interesting is that in this forum not even the killing of the French Police NCO on Tuesday (!) in a first time incident that will change ETA prospectives forever was mentioned as news, and that I also always seem to stumble about the phrase "ETA separatists", when those folks after even the most minimal definition qualify as true "ETA terrorists" (and are listed both in the US and the EU as such), why does yahoo make a difference after 800+ people killed by them?
Do separists kill civilians indiscriminately in the US? ? Planting booby traps on the first attack site to get the helpers afterwards? ? etc?
What is wrong with you Americans when it is not your terrorists, cant yo see further than A´stan or Iraq?? Was G.B: Shaw right?: "Patriotism is your conviction that your country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it" (and can hence ignore others nations woes, R.?) ?
For those who could not follow the facts as they were not posted (and to clarify why the security won´t pay for the death as the police NCO was wearing a vest), again machine translated:

Let us get rid of this vermin as soon as possible, even Mr. Chavez should by now get a grip on the situation and the challenges and cease the ETA guy he had as minister from his government ASAP.
