82% of the GOP still supports Bush........not a patriot among them. They are corrupted to the core. I like him...Al ================================================== GOP Senator Rips Bush on Iraq, Terrorism Mon May 24, 9:30 AM ET Add Politics - U. S. Congress to My Yahoo! By MARK PRATT, Associated Press Writer MEDFORD, Mass. - Republican Sen. Richard G. Lugar said the United States isn't doing enough to stave off terrorism and criticized President Bush (news - web sites) for failing to offer solid plans for Iraq (news - web sites)'s future. In all fairness, Rangel of Neb., Duncan of CA and Graham of SC all have been raising hell as well. What is wrong with the rest of them.......are they GOP first and Americans second? ted

<font color=brown> How much do you want to bet they went after Mayfield because he's a recent convert to Islam. He had a press conference in Portland yesterday.........he looked really freaked out. He's also an attorney. I would not be surprised if he sues. <font color=black> ************************************************ Wednesday, May 26, 2004 - Page updated at 09:54 A.M. Spanish police: We told the FBI the fingerprints weren't Mayfield's By Mar Roman The Associated Press MADRID, Spain — Spanish police told the FBI all along that they doubted the fingerprints on a plastic bag containing detonators like those used in the Madrid train bombing belonged to the Oregon lawyer wrongly arrested in the case, an official said today. The prints of a thumb and finger were only partial and ill-defined because the bag was plastic, the police official said in a phone interview, speaking on condition his name not be used. Spanish police found only several points of coincidence between Portland-area attorney Brandon Mayfield's fingerprints and those on the bag, the official said, adding there should be at least 12 such similarities. Suspected Islamic terrorists set off 10 backpacks of explosives in four commuter trains the morning of March 11 in or near downtown Madrid, killing 191 passengers or bystanders and injuring more than 2,000. Fingerprints were found on a plastic bag that was in a van left near the Alcala de Henares train station, from where three of the four bombed trains had departed. The fingerprints were sent to Interpol, and Spanish police reportedly met FBI agents in Madrid on April 21. The latter were convinced the print was Mayfield's. The Spaniards weren't. On May 6, Mayfield, 37, was arrested as a material witness in the bombings. He always said he was innocent. Last Thursday, Spanish forensics police disclosed they finally made their own match: an Algerian identified as Ouhnane Daoud. Within hours, Mayfield was released from jail and the FBI subsequently apologized. Spanish police said the plastic bag never left Spain and that a digital copy was sent to Paris-based Interpol. The official also noted today that police told the FBI there was no record of Mayfield having been in Spain recently.** seattletimes.nwsource.com
