40,000 would not be enough.

“They are assassins without scruples and they deserve the most severe punishment.”

EU frowns upon the death penalty miss. It’s not tolerant of diversity.

[Billthedrill]

Forty years? I’ll be surprised if they serve 40 months. Kidnap a few diplomats and the Euros will cave, does anyone doubt it?

The court found three defendants, Jamal Zougam, Otman el Gnaoui and José Emilio Suárez Trashorras, guilty of “the murder of 191 people and two involuntary abortions”. Two of the women who died in the train bombings were pregnant at the time. The three men were also found guilty of conspiring to cause the deaths of 1,856 people injured in the attacks, and sentenced to several thousand years in jail, although under Spanish law, they will serve a maximum sentence of 40 years.

Sadly, Europe will have to suffer many more heinous terrorist acts before they go crusader on islamofacist ass...

Western nations lack spine, including many here in the US. It only emboldens these f*king barbarians.

[Lexington Green]

Of course they laughed. The whole world laughs at Spain’s fecklessness.

[I still care]

Imagine, for murdering multiple men, women and babies they can only serve 40 years. It’s as if injustice is written into the law before the trial even begins.

They are so, so fortunate I do not have anything to do with their sentence.

[SkyDancer]

40,000 years in a Spanish prison is luxury compared to Eternity in Hell ....

[RDTF]

I guess maybe they need to be given this permanent face

[sirchtruth]

The three received symbolic sentences of more than 40,000 years each but under Spanish law they will serve a maximum of 40 years.

What does one have to see to be convienced evil exist and if these secularistic, ignorant countries don't overcome it by doing the RIGHT thing, there will be no freedom, and only misery.

40 years should be a minimum sentence for these murderers!

[Old Sarge]

With the bombs going off just three days before a general election, Spaniards became convinced that the attacks were a reprisal for their involvement in US-led invasion of Iraq.

After months of polls predicting Mr Aznar would win another term, the traumatised country voted in the Socialist opposition. Within three days of becoming prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero kept his pledge and brought the troops home.

There's your blueprint - an attack on US soil one news cycle before Nov. 4, 2008, and the "traumatised country" will vote in "the Socialist opposition".

[Bringbackthedraft]

Kidnap a Spaniard or two, threaten to cut off their heads on Terrorist TV, and all 3 get released. They are laughing, because they got the Euro weenies by the gonads.
