Spain and Libya Relations - Post Qadhafi Threat

In this Wiki leaks from the Embassy of Madrid, it states that due to Qadhafi’s threat to attack U.S. Facilities in Spain if the Ambassador to Tripoli went to Libya. The Embassy then immediately heeded his request, but now bares slight resentment towards Foreign Minister Ordonez. Especially considering that same day, Ordonez stated the last Qadhafi threat to Spain had actually been taken out of context and exaggerated. So this article tried to prove to its readers two main points: Spain’s current stance to Qadhafi is to appease, and Qadhafi’s volatility disallows Spain to trust his government’s assurances of safety.
