TERRORISM plus tragedy plus political maneuvering plus botched prosecution plus unresolved aspects is what still revolves around the March 11 terror attacks in Madrid.

One of the very few foreign journalists who have been able to explore all the complexities without merely echoing the official line is Robert Latona, who has a superb piece in World Politics Watch that I encourage to read in full. He's spot on.

It's not the first time he is: I already linked to two great pieces by him, one on Zapatero as Mr. Bean and another on resurrecting Franco's ghost for political purposes.
