It's déjà vu all over again. Police let the Madrid bombers go, just as a Maryland state trooper stopped and released Ziad Jarrah on Sept. 9. Maybe it's time to organize Mothers Against Jihad Driving.
MADRID - Spanish police came within a whisker of foiling the Madrid bombings when they stopped a stolen car carrying explosives used in the attacks.The boot of the Volkswagen was packed with 100kg of stolen industrial dynamite, according to an El Pais newspaper report.
Three of the four train-bombing suspects were thought to have been in the car at the time, but its Arab driver was fined for a minor traffic offence and allowed to drive on.
Our civil rights are under attack. This is an example of what will happen if the police do respect our rights. How much are going to have to give up for security?
Now wait a minute. If you are stopped for a violation it is not a threat to your civil rights. A secret of good law enforcement is that people who are up to no good have no respect for either little laws about registering vehicles or big laws about not committing mass murder. As long as a cop has someone stopped, he can check out what is going on within reason
