"Spaniards celebrate Iraq pull-out"

The Beeb has a slanted discussion of more "spontaneous demonstrations" in Madrid:


Most Spaniards have welcomed Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's announcement that he will bring home the 1,300 Spanish peacekeepers from Iraq as quickly as possible since they have no UN mandate to be there.

In central Madrid, hundreds poured out on to the streets to celebrate.

Twenty-one-year-old Juan said: " It made me sick every time I see footage of Spanish soldiers in Iraq. We have no business to be there."

Sandra brought her two young children to the spontaneous demo.

In other news, the body of one of the Spanish policemen killed in a recent terror raid has been desecrated.
