Submitting Evidence to the Spanish Court on U.S. Torture PlansValtin sets the stage, lists the evidence, exhibits the proof and other evidence, and then concludes his argument.
Scott Horton has reported that "Spanish prosecutors have decided to press forward with a criminal investigation targeting former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and five top associates over their role in the torture of five Spanish citizens held at Guantánamo." The others targeted are John Yoo, Jay Bybee, David Addington, Doug Feith and William Haynes.
I wrote a series on the issue of grounds for prosecution not too long ago. Now I'd like to help the Spanish prosecutors by supplying some basic evidence, courtesy of the Senate Armed Services Committee Report on "the Treatment of Detainees in U.S. Custody", released late last year.
And I say guilty, your Honor!

I'd respond to your post, but I'm trying to keep calm today, so here instead is an off-topic Ars Technica article, curiously enough from a team of Spanish researchers, on the cause and possible cure of Colony Collapse Disorder. (Think "fungi," not "cell phones.") If I recall, ellroon, that's one of your regular topics.
Thanks! You're the bees knees, Steve!
