...punishing series of more than 650 arrests since 2000. Earlier this month, French police uncovered an eta bombmaking factory in the French village of Saint Michel, a few kilometers from the Spanish border. On Friday, French police arrested three men in Châtellerault, about 300 km southwest of Paris, possessing what outgoing Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes said were "prepared and assembled bombs."

They speak Spanish and embrace their full Hispanic culture, but they are not immigrants because their families have lived in the same cities in Texas for the past 500 years. Very few Anglo-Protestant can say that much or claim residence in the United States...

For example, points on the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards card expire after 12 months, so you have to rack up 19,200 points (or $19,200 in everyday purchases) in one year to qualify for a free ticket...
