(62,325 posts)A Spanish Court were in the process of charging six of Bush's henchmen with War Crimes a few years ago. The judge was the same judge who went after Pinnochet.
People were hopeful that justice might finally be happening.
The court had jurisdiction so it looked good.
And then time went by and nothing happened.
It was disappointing.
We began to hear smears aimed at the judge.
Other than that, nothing.
And then Wikileaks released those cables.
And we found out why that case seemed to have gone away.
The Obama administration had placed pressure on the Spanish Court to stop the prosecutions.
Among the six were Gonzales and Yoo I believe, I can't remember all the others.
So, for now, that case is stalled. The US Government not only won't charge their own War Criminals, they go after any other country that tries to do it.
