ETA's Permanent Cease-fire

John Aust at the Iberian Notes section of The Spain Herald has this to say about ETA's March 22, 2006, permanent cease-fire announcement:

ETA announced today that it was declaring a "permanent cease-fire." Not good enough. They set conditions, including a referendum on Basque independence and the legalization of their front political party, Batasuna.
Aust said, "Only unconditional surrender is acceptable. ETA has announced cease-fires before and has returned to violence. And giving in to ETA's conditions is rewarding the terrorist murders of more than 800 people."

I'd be surprised if ETA offers an unconditional surrender. Maybe it will do it if the Basque region gets unconditional autonomy.

For more, please see "ETA declares "permanent cease-fire."
