...European Council Secretary-General Javier Solana, may benefit from a burst of cooperation in the wake of the Madrid train bombings. Just 10 days after Sept. 11, 2001, European leaders signed off on an "action plan" against terrorism. But it was never fully carried out. A European arrest warrant, for instance, which simplifies the process of making cross-border arrests, still hasn't been adopted by Germany, Italy, Greece or the Netherlands.

That being said, Adomanis and others have a right to be critical about progressivism’s potential disregard for proper ethical consideration, as evidenced by the few scientists around...
...public outrage over the attacks suggests that if ETA was behind them, it may have signed its own death warrant. "Some people think we drink champagne when attacks happen," says Ainhoa Osinalde, spokeswoman for Pagotxeta, a pro-independence group close to Batasuna, the banned party often described as ETA's political wing. "That's not true. We have to do everything we can to stop these things from happening again."
