The BBC’s excellent ‘From our own correspondent’ has produced an interesting podcast on the Basque problem and the recent ETA bomb in Madrid. Audio download link. Text version here.

As a Spaniard, I wonder why foreign media don’t use the word “terrorist” for ETA or ETA members. They allways use sentences like “the Basque separatist group”. Would they call IRA members “militants”?

You have a good point. I have no idea why they don’t use the term “terrorist”.

This call for “dialogue” I do not understand.
Why not to try a “dialogue” with sexual harrasers or common thieves? Does a nationalist assasin deserve a better status than a common assasin?
I would like to know if Azkarate supports dialogue with pederasts, or they need to found a political party…
