U.S. Releases Man Questioned for Madrid Bombings

Interesting part of this news is that from the beginning the Spanish authorities had maintained their doubt on linking Mr. Brandon Mayfield with terrorism activities since the quality of finger print that was used to link him was in poor quality. Mr. Mayfield is a converted Muslim. Would he be treated same if he did not have a Muslim background?

Earlier, Spanish police said fingerprints found on the bag of detonators were those of Ouhnane Daoud, an Algerian man, whom they said took part in the attacks.

A Spanish police statement did not make a link with the Mayfield case, but sources close to the investigation said U.S. investigators mistakenly interpreted one Daoud fingerprint as belonging to Mayfield.

"Scientific police have identified the prints 100 percent" as belonging to Daoud, one source said.

His brother Kent Mayfield called the case a "witch hunt" and said U.S. agents never produced any additional evidence linking Brandon Mayfield to the bombings.

Is this a case of horrendous stereotyping, like all Muslims must be a terrorist unless proven innocent?

Things have gone quite wrong in our world.
