11-M We want to know the truth

Seven years ago, on March 11th 2004, 10 bombs exploded in 4 urban trains in central or nearby Madrid in very different locations between 7.37 and 7.39 am. 192 fatalities; about 2000 wounded and mutilated. There is still someone in a coma. Up to 116 were arrested and charged responsible for the attacks. Only 29 were taken to trial, being the rest exonerated. Of them, 21 were condemned; today, 5 of them have already been released. Out of the 21, only 3 have been condemned for crimes related to the 11-M bombings: Emilio Suarez Trashorras (a Spaniard miner, schizophrenic), Jamal Zougham and Otman El Gnaoui. These two are Moroccans, but not islamists. The rest were condemned on the grounds of different offences, with nothing to do with the 11-M. Zougham was arrested on March 13th (on the Eve of General Elections), accused of selling the SIM card of the phone used to detonate a bomb, but condemned directly for being responsible of placing a bag-bomb. Up to 8 witnesses saw him in different trains, which is a contradiction, physically impossible. He is facing 34,000 years of imprisonment and he is probably innocent of the charges accused.

11-M was a set-up to force Aznar's government away from power. All polls were in favor to him. Has nothing to do with Al-Qaeda, nor with islamisms. Nothing to do with the Spanish support of the War on Iraq. We don't know who did it, don't know how. The trial is full of contradictions and, even more, lies and perjuries, faked proofs and unusual procedures. The fiscal of the case stated in trial, "the bombs were Goma-2. Period". 6 years after the killings, we had proof from one technician involved in the research, who finally spoke up, that this is not true: it was Titadyne, a military explosive, a usual type employed by ETA. The wrecked trains were disposed of completely 48 hours after the massacre, against the official procedure, in such a way that out of the tons of scrap metal and junk, only a nail was spared. Today, yes, today, 24 policeman from the scientific body are called to testify about this. Today, seven years ago. The boss of the Scientific Police, Sanchez Manzano, has been a protegee of the current Ministry of Domestic Affairs, now the most powerful man in Spain after Zapatero... Or even more: Now Zapatero is nothing, just a straw doll. It is an utterly shame.

And how do I know this? Oh, boy, thanks to Internet and a couple of media in Spain, one of them small. The main media, TV networks, newspapers, including the group of your beloved El Pais, are to me covered in ignominy. Just happy to have the political right out of the equation at the expense of the victims.

Nevertheless, the appalling feeling of all is precisely this: the complete disregard toward the victims, the scorn, the humiliation, the abandon. Too painful, too immoral, a vomitive manipulation.

I wish I could do something more than writing this shit before I go to bed and come back to my petty occupations.

RESUME THE TRIALS, NOW!
WE WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
