...records as public servants. But instead of focusing on substantive debate on the candidates’ political records, it seems that the media cannot ignore the lure of sensation. The major news networks’ excessive concentration on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth’s crusade to mar Kerry’s courageous Vietnam record this summer and their continued focus on these suspect documents now demonstrate a frustrating disregard for solid coverage of real issues...
...said in an interview with TIME last week. "I accept that when an overwhelming majority of citizens says something, they are right." Zapatero calls this "citizen's socialism;" the opposition calls it rank populism. Either way it's a far cry from the stubborn conservatism of José María Aznar, the man he replaced five months ago. Aznar brought Spain into the U.S.-led Iraq coalition against the will of his people, and voters ousted his Popular Party (PP) three days after the March 11 Madrid terrorist attacks that killed 191. Zapatero's brand of "citizen's socialism...
Former Spanish Prime Minister Jose María Aznar has been touring South America promoting his memoirs, Eight Years in Government. But back home, Spaniards are up in arms about events barely covered in the book. The panel investigating the government's response to Madrid's March 11 terrorist attacks, in which 191 people died, continues to turn up indications that while still in power, Aznar's government blamed eta for the attacks, even though the evidence pointed to al-Qaeda. Last week, Civil Guard General José Manuel García Varela told the panel that...
...allied intelligence services got it so wrong on Iraqi WMD. And in Madrid, a parliamentary investigation is probing the government's response to the devastating March 11 terrorist attacks - and trying to answer the question that has bedeviled Spain ever since: Did the government of Prime Minister José María Aznar mislead the public about who was behind the blasts? New evidence suggests it may have. At 1:30 p.m. on 3/11, just six hours after bombs exploded on four Madrid commuter trains, killing 191, then Interior Minister Angel Acebes told a press conference that Spanish police...
...defining tone of Zapatero's administration may be set by the country's fight against the Basque terrorist group ETA, which has killed over 800 people in the last 36 years during its campaign for an independent state. That battle largely defined the eight years of José María Aznar's government, whose fate was sealed by its insistence on ETA authorship of the March 11 bombings. Might al-Qaeda's attacks on Madrid mark the end of ETA as well? The sheer size and indiscriminate horror of the bombings trumped the Basque terrorists' targeted approach...
