Report: The “Bush Six” to Be Indicted by Spanish Prosecutors

I wonder if AG Holder and his assistants will also be indicted if it turns out they are holding “tortured” Spaniards at Bagram Air Base.
If the Spaniards are so concerned about civil rights, why don’t they step up and just take the prisoners at Gitmo.

Too bad Spain is not considering where that buck actually stopped.

Two missing from the list, Rumsfield and Cheney. Rumsfield because he let the military prosecute the reservist MPs at Abu Ghraib but not the active duty military intelligence personnel who asked them to soften up the prisoners and were present in at least one photo.
Cheney because he still defends torture.

“Two missing from the list, Rumsfield and Cheney.”
And what about George W. Bush himself? Is it so that indicting a former US president is so unthinkable that he is in effect above the law?
He knew what was going on. He called the shots.
But what is really needed is a thorough, non-partisan US investigation into what happened. There must be at least some Republicans who recognize that something is not quite right and who are willing to help shed some light on what really happened, why and who is to blame.

Where is the American indictment of the biggest “crooks” in the history of our nation, even bigger than Nixon, because they brought down the U.S……Bush and Cheney! Indict these low-lifes and stop using lessers as the scapegoats. Maybe then that we can elect a President that won’t sell out the American people, as it is and should be a crime.

Question: What happens to the next Pres or cabinet, when YOU DECIDE thats not what you wanted?????????
Oh how hypocritical we are.

Uh oh.

Better bone up on international law before you say they can’t do this. They technically can’t touch Bush but since we won’t handle the others here in the US, the Hague and World Court long ago gained the right to prosecute in court (1946-7?). They can’t do anything if the US holds trials on these murderers, but since we won’t, they can and will. Educate yourselves. You have the info at your fingertips. Start reading and learning.

Oh, goodie.

“Spain was a supporter of U.S. in Iraq, even sending troops, until Al Qaeda scared them out. Typical Europe, attack allies not enemies.”
The right wing leader of Spain before the Madrid bombings supported Bush and the Iraq invasion.
His opponent (who is on the left) in the election advocated withdraw.
When the right wing leader tried to blame the Madrid bombings on the Basque separatists to give himself a boost at the polls, he paid for it dearly.
The new left wing leader then began the withdraw of troops as he promised to do while campaigning.
Saying Al Queda scared Spain out of Iraq is simply not true.

No like bush.

Spain has no jurisdiction. If they attempt to act on their little game-playing, it should be considered an act of war. Given that both Democratic and Republican administrations can be subjected to this kind of nonsense by European attention-seekers, I’d expect the Obama people will quietly squash this.

This is the same incompetent Spanish legal system which acquitted Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed. the mastermind of the Madrid Train Bombings, from any planning or involvement in the act.
Here is what the Italians recorded Ahmed say:
“I am the thread behind the Madrid plot.”
“The Madrid attack was my project and those who died as martyrs, they are my very dear friends.”
The Spanish Tribunal de Canguros also found no involvement of Al-Qaeda.
Here is what Ahmed said about Al-Qaeda:
“It is a shame we young people must be the first to sacrifice ourselves. There is one solution, join al-Qa’ida”.

Good, I wonder what evidence they have. And I hope they uncover the truth about 9/11, the war on terror, bin laden and the NWO. By the way Shut up O’ reilly this is just what we needed, no need for ur spin . Too bad we are too stupid to indict the whole bush administration. Obama just let this be or let us indict them.

Reading the comments under articles like this one don’t give an impartial person a great deal of confidence in the decency of the ordinary US civilian.
The laws against torture and against launching illegal aggressive invasions (which bring about mass murder as a consequence – that the murder of civilians through collateral damage, civilians that may be no fonder of governments like Saddams than many of us in the west are of our’s but just want to get buy as best they can), those laws, are laws that are in the interest of all people but perhaps most especially the ordinary little people that comment in places like this.
If there is no accountability for ordering torture and illegal invasion occassioning mass murder then blind freddie in any country watching that lack of accountability is going to start thinking the rule of law is false. He is going to be more not less likely to want to take justice into his own hands. This unaccountability stuff incites terrorism.
Putting that aside there is another point about US representative democracy. It isn’t representative if so called representatives don’t have to uphold their oaths to defend the constitution (the embodiment of american values supposedly). Given the opportunity the same freddies who want to be in power will learn to treat the body politics that gives leaders political immunity to torture and to engage in crimes against humanity encouragement to include those things is his repertoire.
Ordinary people should be demanding that accountability and the rule of law be upheld in their own enlightened self interest.

Why are they leaving out Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice. These are the real war criminals.

Like anyone gives a damn what the Spanish think. They haven’t been relevant in centuries, and this impotent gesture is just proof of that.
And for those of you who seem to want to introduce proscription lists of politicians you don’t agree with, dream on. Luckily, Obama is no Caesar.

HAHA, wonder how their problems in Madrid are doing? Hey Spain, yall still rioting in the streets? We just started!

Who said outsourcing is dead?

Great – The Spaniards take action on these crimes but state emphatically that they will halt the process if and when the USA decides to investigate the crimes and the perpetrators themselves.
We are moving in the right direction but need to widen the scope to include Tony Bliar, Sir John Scarlett and the British Attorney General.
The Mills of God grind slowly but the grind exceeding small.

The judge in question has all kinds of experience prosecuting terrorists and putting them away. Spain certainly has every right to prosecute crimes against Spanish citizens, even if the accused is a US citizen. (Probably Spanish jails have loads of US druggies.)
I would guess that he hopes that Yoo et al. will snitch on Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al., in exchange for lesser sentences, etc.

This would be devastating for Spain and Europe. A refusal to extradite, recall of ambassadors, evacuation order for us citizens out of spain, cancellation of landing rights, barring of travel, economic sanctions, ban on trade, and complete diplomatic isolation.

Bush and co should be indicted asap and I applaud Spain for taking this step to bring serious illegal war crimes to justice
