Spanish Note on the New York Terrorist plot


David Seaton's News Links
Despite decades of terrorist violence, Spanish police would not have been permitted to do what the FBI has done in New York.


Spain has been suffering terrorism for over thirty years and some of the most violent terrorism occurred while the country was trying to create a democracy after forty years of fascist dictatorship.

Perhaps because of the experience of fascism: torture, beatings, anonymous informers, etc, today's Spanish legal system is very punctilious in guaranteeing the rights of the accused.


In Spain "sting" operations are forbidden. Evidence procured by
agents provocateurs would not be admissible in court.

It looks like the FBI, posing as Pakistani Al Qaeda talked a pitiful group of intellectually challenged petty street criminals into parking what they
thought was a car full of explosives in front of a synagogue. The non-explosives were thoughtfully supplied by the FBI.

After parking the cars full of popcorn in front of the synagogue this gang of idiots was arrested while leaving the scene of the crime and their massive plot foiled. The FBI says these poor fools have no contacts whatsoever with any other terrorist groups anywhere. How could they when the only "terrorists" they ever met in their lives are the FBI agents who gave them the non-explosives?


In short, these men are going to go back to jail for many years
because of their bad intentions, because, at worst, parking a harmless car in front of a synagogue is a parking violation not a felony. This is as if you said to me, "I really hate john over there!", and I handed you a water pistol and said, "Snuff the sunuvabitch!" and you squirted him with water and got sent up for attempted murder.

You could say that the role of the FBI here was literally "satanic", deliberately leading weak minded men "into temptation" and then betraying them. If the FBI hadn't intervened these people would have probably never got beyond mugging old ladies for their social security checks in all their lives. If people can go to jail for their bad thoughts, no wonder the USA has the world's largest prison population.


It would be interesting to know how much it cost the US treasury to set up and entrap this bunch of hopeless turkeys. DS

I didn't know that... that's just disgusting.

Mossad does the same with the palestinians, makes me sick.

I learned that the police in New York put out "lost" luggage pieces in the subway. You take it and they take you in for theft.

It's pretty much the whole system thats gone wrong if such abuses are common on all levels of US-american "law enforcement".
