It appears that Newsweek has corrected number 13 about the ETA. Please now disregard my earlier comment as the issue has been rectified.

The separatist movements in India which are about 16 (maximum in any one country of the world) have not been mentioned. These movements have claimed thousands of innocent lives so far. such reaserches should be more deliberate. In addition author has concentrated more on Russia, China and muslim countries which make the study look somewhat biased.

No mention of Texas? Rick Perry deserves a photo, I think, for all that I consider the Texas secession movement to be ill-advised, overly idealistic, and insufficiently concerned with major issues like how to establish their own embassies and currency without slagging the economy they're trying to protect in the process..

Number 13 is factually wrong. In fact, the Spanish prime minister initially blamed the ETA for the train bombings, which have since been investigated and felt to be carried out by an likely affiliate of Al Qaeda. The blame on the ETA is what was derided by the Spanish public as there was heated debate about the Spanish military's involvement in Iraq, and the prospect of terrorism this could bring to Spain proper.
