"An armed action by ETA now would be understood as an attack against the whole society," says Patxi Zabaleta, a lawyer and former leader of the now banned Batasuna party who has defended many ETA members before Spanish courts. Another reason for ETA to stand down is that Spanish and French police have largely broken the organization in a punishing series of more than 650 arrests since 2000.

We may have reached the point at which a civil political conversation is no longer possible in this country...

(For the record: Clarke not only ran counterterrorism through 9/11 but remained on the job for another year as he watched in disgust the Administration divert its attention from al-Qaeda to Saddam Hussein...
