MADRID, Spain — From a fire station to a Madrid bar brimming with 
bullfighting paraphernalia, Spaniards said Friday they were offended by a senior Pentagon 
official's remark that bullfighting shows Spaniards are a brave people and 
shouldn't run in the face of terrorism. 
Spaniards saw the remarks by Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz as 
narrow-minded and promoting a stereotype. 
"This is an ignorant comment," snapped Madrid firefighter Juan Carlos 
Yunquera, sitting on a bench outside his firehouse. "For a top official, it shows he 
doesn't know what he's talking about."
