Interesting, and great, coincidence: today last year I went to Spain, a beautiful country I wish to see again, worrying about ETA. Yesterday, the terror group quits, hoodedly vowing "to shift from violence to 'a democratic process'" toward having the Spanish government recognizing their Basque homeland (Pamela Rolfe & Molly Moore, "Basque Separatists Declare A 'Permanent Cease-Fire'", Washington Post, A16).

Hopefully, these ETA fuckers are sincere in their avowed intent to stop the bloodshed. But the question out there, and in the press, is how can there be any trust after all these years?
