Agreed. Actually, Baltasar Garzon (who is very left wing, and whom I normally cannot abide) initially charged several of the persons arrested in Spain last fall with 3,000+ counts of murder, something which was really the only way of holding them under Spanish law and which brought him much criticism.

Spain has definitely been on our side in this, and many arrests have been made with the help of Spanish intelligence and police forces. Much is being discovered about Atta's connections along the Mediterranean coast, and the Spanish are trying to find out exactly who it was that Atta went to see in Cataluña during a brief visit he made there a few weeks before the WTC attack.

Under Spanish law (which became laughably pro-terrorist under the Socialists, and even more so since the advent of the EU), Garzon probably has to release them. But I'm sure they're not just going to be able to swim off into oblivion. And it might be very interesting to see where they go...

I hope your take on Garzon's actions is accurate.
