Spain Releases Ten Jihadists


Here we go again. Spain, apparently the world's shining star of appeasement and rubber spines, has released ten jihadists charged with conspiring to blow up a courthouse in 2004. That's 1/3 of the suspects in the planned bombing that had 500 kg of explosives packed into a truck.
These are al Qaeda linked jihadists, folks and although only five are actually getting out of prison (the other five have other offenses that are going to keep them in prison for at least a little while), five of them are indeed walking out of prison.
And get this from the article at Kronos:


The released suspects have been ordered to report regularly to police and forbidden to leave Spain


Can you believe that? These are al Qaeda jihadists willing to die by driving a truck full of TNT into a courthouse killing perhaps 200 or 300 people and they are expected NOT to leave the country? You have got to be bloody killing me.
Once again Spain has shown that they have stones made of jello. And it's getting to the point where I cannot even feel sorry for them when they are attacked. Like I always like to say, "Spare the rod, enable the jihadist."
