| A few terrorists are nothing in the overall scope of relations so there won't be any discernible impact, despite the fact that Venezuela's now a rogue state. [El Universal] Alleged ETA members Arturo Cubillas and José Angel Urtiaga, who live in Venezuela and Cuba, respectively, failed to appear on Tuesday in the Spanish National Court in Madrid, where they were subpoenaed to testify as suspects in the case where their alleged links between the Basque gang ETA and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have been investigated. Despite their absence, Judge Eloy Velasco, of the Spanish National Court, did not order any action against them, because there are search and arrest warrants against them since late February, when they were indicted. Cubillas, 46, and residing in Venezuela since 1989, is an official at the National Lands Institute (INTI), an agency attached to the Venezuelan Ministry of Agriculture. In early October, two suspected ETA cut-throats said in the Spanish National Court that they were trained by Cubillas in weapons use in Venezuela in 2008, DPA reported. |

| #1 Y'know, they can cut out the middlemen and give those frigates they're planning to sell to Yugo straight to the ETA instead. |
