#1 I would like that uninformed Americans didn't write articles about Spain.

El Pais is not merely socialist leaning. It is more like Pravda in times of Stalin. For instance they photoshopped pictures of Saturday demonstartion in order to change the Constitutional Flags into the old flag used in time of Franco.

For instance when he tells that the parliamentary investigation turned into afarce because both sides had traded accusations instead of doing the work. The fact is that it was socialist counterfires against popular party pointing at glaring holes in the official version. Analysis of explosives never done in the trains. Clues popping up inexpectedly of thin air into a zone who had been already researched.

Two examples: teh Skoda mini-van where the islamic tapes were found along with detonators (first clue pointing to islamist authorship) had already been searched by a sniffer dog and hois trainer who found nothing)

Then the phone whose chip led to the first arrests. According to the official version police collected debris and clues in the Alcala de Henares railway station. One of the objects was a backpack weighing thirty pounds. That is not an usaul object into a commuter train. Most commuters carry far smaller wallets. Only the a few people who are going to catch a plane or a long range train would carry something like that. Because it was unusual you would think the policeman who collected it would remind it. Nope. Also you would think he would be quite nervous about possible booby traps and would triple check with the explosives experts that it had been inspected. Nope again. So the bag goes to Alcala police station (agsint judge's orders to move everything to IFEMA) then to IFEMA then back to Alcala to a different police station, remains unsupervised for a time and suddenly aomeone discovers there is bomb in the bag and a cellphone for setting it up except that the wires were disconnected.

That is the official version about the bag who led investigators to the arrests who turned the result of the elections.

Can you say suspicious?
