Against what I have come to expect from them, Time Magazine actually published a note regarding the ongoing effort from Rodriguez Zapatero to stablish talks with ETA with the purported objective of a peace deal.
It is just that Time Magazine again and again fails to publish anything of what goes on in the world that directly or indirectly affects the Basque Country.
Part of the smoke screen campaign if you ask me.
The article called "It's Good to Talk" is writen in a positive light, although they fail to provide Batasuna with the benefit of being innocent until proven guilty.
And the bottom line of the story is, only by stablishing an honest dialogue can the violence come to an end, which is what both Basques and Spaniards want.
Time says it this way:

The Spanish Congress last week passed a resolution giving the government authority to negotiate with eta — if it lays down its arms. Batasuna, the banned political party close to eta, welcomed the move. "We think it's a step in the right direction," says Arnaldo Otegi, Batasuna's spokesman.But hey, at least they portray the PP on all their arrogant and bullish ways:
The opposition Popular Party (PP) and victims' groups are livid, accusing Zapatero of providing eta with what María San Gil, the PP's leader in the Basque Country, called "the oxygen that they were lacking."

Keep those communication channels open.Yes, please, do so.
