Reply #13: I think this is unlikely.

Really: aQ (or whoever) suddenly becomes interested in the Spanish election after the * spin-machine tries to make the attack in Spain a comment on the Spanish elections? Probably somebody's idea of joke.

Quoting it certainly won't convince anybody, and to quote it means: (1) buying into the alleged election-terror connection, and (2) ignoring the suffering in Spain.

*'s cheerleaders are pushing the election-terror script because they have worked out a playbook: no attack in US ("* kept us safe"); attack ("gotta stay the course"). It's rather blatant: heard DBrooks on NPR this afternoon talking about a terrorist attack "in the next eight months."

No reason to play this game. Does anybody really think 9/11 was an attempt to sway off-year elections across the US?
