Very true! Glad the Spanish get some good news as well :)

True, like Ahmed Chalabi being under investigation. It's about time, considering all the lies he and his organisation told and CIA and Pentagon happily believed because it fitted in their plan.
 
It's a pity such a tragedy had to occur to "persuade" the Spanish to move out.
