News: The Spanish police arrested 22 leaders of Batasuna, the ETA-front political party. Batasuna called a meeting in the town of Segura in order to designate their new executive committee, and Judge Garzón ordered the cops to show up and bust them all on charges of belonging to a terrorist gang--sort of a Spanish equivalent of the US RICO law. Some of them are also being charged with recividism--seems that it's against the law to carry on political activity after your party has been banned. Good.

I say lock 'em all up and throw away the key. We've got enough problems with real Islamist badass terrorists that we don't need these clowns farting around now mucking things up. They're finished.
