Hey Maria...Accused Madrid bomb mastermind acquitted

[Peter Parka]

I don't believe in the death penalty but I don't believe that there should be a maximum time spent in prison for the most serious of offenses. I think there should always be the possibility of release if the person is shown not to be a threat anymore but some sort of good rehabilitation and repentance needs to be shown before release.

I agree that putting them on trial is a good thing. But what's the point if you can't keep them there for life? Are these fanatics really going to change in prison?

That's how our laws are. I of course disagree with a lot of things in my justice system. For example, I am believer in rehabilitation, and think that's the only purpose of prison. But if someobody can't be rehabilitated, I don't think they should ever come out unless a group of psychologist determine they won't hurt anybody if they are freed. This goes specially for rapists.

I agree Peter

I don't live in Spain, so I don't have to be concerned with it.

I really don't agree with this statement. I think what makes us more human is being concerned for other's who don't share our blood, race, country of origin, culture.... etc.

Well if one wants to kill millions and still live to see the outside of a jail cell one day, they know who to attack - Spain.

Of course that is an over exaggerated statement, but it gets my point across.

I don't live in Spain, so I don't have to be concerned with it.

But say a terrorist is released after 40 years then manages to make it over to the States, plot and carry out a terrorist attack that kills thousands of people. I wonder if we can then press charges against Spain should something like that happen since their laws would be paritally liable for the attack taking place.

I know it may seem difficult for some to believe, but of all the evils done in the world by the evil minds of men it is not difficult for me to fathom.

In my opinion - Spain's law of no death penalty or life imprisonment for terrorist is globally irresponsible.

they'd probably only have got 10 years here
