Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.
Three suspected members of the armed Basque separatist group ETA were arrested yesterday in southwest France in the first raid since ETA called off a 15-month-old ceasefire, officials said.
The two men and one woman were arrested in the town of Bagneres de Bigorre, the interior ministry said.
The joint French-Spanish raid took place two days after ETA called off the truce, blaming the Spanish government for ruining a once-promising peace process. The group said it would be "active on all fronts", a threat interpreted as meaning it would resume its attacks...
The two men arrested were named as Aitor Lorente Bilbao, 40, and Igor Igartua Echevarria, 37.
Lorente Bilbao went into hiding after he was released from jail in Spain in 2006 on serving seven years for arms possession. Igartua fled Spain in 2000 as police moved to break up ETA's so-called Vizcaya cell, the statement said.

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
