Prior knowledge in Spain

Hmmm - from CNN/World: bq. A document published months before national elections reveals al Qaeda planned to separate Spain from its allies by carrying out terror attacks. bq. A December posting on an Internet message board used by al Qaeda and its sympathizers and obtained by CNN, spells out a plan to topple the pro-U.S. government. bq. "We think the Spanish government will not stand more than two blows, or three at the most, before it will be forced to withdraw because of the public pressure on it," the al Qaeda document says. bq. "If its forces remain after these blows, the victory of the Socialist Party will be almost guaranteed -- and the withdrawal of Spanish forces will be on its campaign manifesto." Granted - Internet Bulletin boards are a dime a dozen and with a little searching, you can find one that says anything you want but this one seemed to be a credible threat and it was ignored. Allah himself weighs in with a very good analysis of the Election and the myths, lies and fabulations that surrounded the explanations for what happened. Since he is all-knowing, he has no problem providing links galore to back up his statements...
