I remember they were going to release proof of this but to my knowledge it has never occured.

Again I do not mean to be disrepectful.

Me thinks it is the ETA... As it is leading up to the Euro's I am thinking that this was a way of them attempting to keep the tourists away.
I believe that it was proven with the photos of the hijackers entering the airport terminals and the link between that Muhammed Atta guy and AQ.

Forgive my ignorance, but who or what is the ETA? Never heard of them, but from what was posted it sounds like sort of European or maybe a Basque group? If they catch these guys, how about they make them take a long walk on a short pier in the alligator-infested Everglades? But then, it is a federal crime to poison the 'gators.

Yup...a Basque group. ETA stands for Euskadi ta Askatasuna , which means “Basque Fatherland and Liberty”. Typical cowardly terrorist wackos. The ETA isn't officially linked to Al Qaeda...but wouldn't be surprised if it attracts some of the same characters...it seems that most people involved in these things are more interested in killing people than actually serving their "cause".

Alligators sound good...tho there has to be SOMETHING more grisly and humiliating that could be done to them...maybe death by chipmunk...beheading with pLastic spoons...dunno...

These attacks don't fit ETA's usual MO - they aren't known for multiple simulataneous attacks on civilians. Besides, Basques aren't Muslim, so Al Qaeda probably wouldn't cooperate with them. My guess is this was done by an Islamofascist splinter group with the same agenda as Al Qaeda (kill anybody who isn't Muslim, and especially those who want to stop you from killing non-Muslims).

I'm willing to forgo humiliation for speed and efficiency. A JDAM bomb delivered to the top of the skull works in my book.

I was shocked when I saw USA Today cover shot. My God I hope that someday some can be brought to justice over that.

You know this terrorism has gone far enough. If those GD fanatical low life nuts who commite horrific acts of violence in the name of God and religion want a GD holly war, then lets give them one. I want to say kill them all and let their God sort them out, but that would be horrifically wrong of me so what I will say is give them a war, any one who picks up a weapon, commits an act of violence, should be considered hostile and appropriate measures should be taken.

Enough is enough.

Unfortunately, these fanatical Groups won't be satisified until every trace of whatever they don't like of the West is eradicated. So I'm with you, Atrocities. I say we eridicate them first. Forget about catching Bin Laden, just do a Clinton and send shiploads of cruise missiles in that no-man's land in Pakistan. And if the Pakistani goverment objects, tell them tough. And let's do the same for whereever else we suspect these terrorists are hiding out. Let's show these scum we're not pussyfooting around. And if by some small chance Kerry is elected president, I think Bush should just empty our bunkers and smash these suspected sites again and again until he's out of office. Then let Kerry worry about what to do with these terrorists, if any survive.
