Thomas has some informative links to the bombings this morning in Madrid. Most informative and telling I believe is Inside Europe: Iberian Notes - whose post here tells how the bombs were set.
They had a daily poll up on CNN today that asked if the United States could prevent an attack like this one. Overwhelmingly - 83% of the respondents said the U.S. was not prepared.
After reading about that modus operandi -- I just kept thinking - How could those people just set those suitcases down, and walk away - knowing that they were leaving behind them devastating carnage and untold loss of life.
Thinking of Spain.
