ETA hardliners expel six members who wanted peace
2005-07-12
A purge! A purge! This one's for you, Fred. Fred loves purges.
The Basque terrorist organization ETA has expelled six members who called for peace talks with the government.
"Pack up your crinolines and watch those elevator shafts, ladies. Terrorizin' is for manly folk."
The six are serving prisoners including ex-leader Francisco Múgica Garmendia, alias 'Pakito', who said in a statement the armed struggle was "contradictory" to the movement's aims. The explusion has been seen as the work of ETA's hardline faction which appears to be opposed to dialogue with the government.
"No! Never! Too much talkin', not near enough killin'. We need more target practice to improve the aims of the movement."

#1  So now they have gone from a resistance group to just plain old terrorists. Not that they ever got any sympathy from me, but if you have political demands it helps to at least tell people what they are. Otherwise it gets to be like Iraq, nobody knows exactly why you are killing people.
