ETA want to talk with Zapatero - report

Madrid - Basque separatist group ETA has said in a new communique it wants dialogue with Spain's incoming Socialist government but will maintain its armed campaign, the Basque newspaper Gara said on its website on Sunday.

"ETA maintains its 'decision to continue its fight' and its disposition to achieve a resolution 'through dialogue'," Gara said, quoting an ETA communique in the Basque language.

The group, listed as terrorists by the European Union and the United States, has used Gara in the past to publish statements.

1. Interesting. I'd say the next few weeks

should be very interesting for Southern Europe. I've read that Sr. Zapatero is considered 'unprofessional' and 'inexperienced' with his gutsy remarks about the US and the war in Iraq.

If he was inexperienced when he came in, that will change in a hurry as he has to deal with relentless pressure from the US and possible sabotage attempts from them, and dealing with the ETA as well.

2. And who's calling him "unprofessional"?

Could it be those consummate screwups in Washington and their shills?
