Spain to the rescue!
Who would have thought Spain would be the Calvary coming to America’s rescue? The one “headin’em off at the pass?” The one telling the world “America speaks with folk tongue?” The one telling all who can hear, “America’s got heap big problems?” (Problems grande?)
In my opinion and relating to the diary by GOTV, the move by Spain could be two-fold: Help America from imploding from within and taking a hell of a lot of weight off the Obama Administration. If one is nuanced sensitive, one can really savor the intellectual feast presented in the diary emitting no less than gentle smiles and utterances of Kudos at the brilliant move and help coming from at least one member of the European community to date.
You can never tell when a hero will come along on the horizon. You can not even create a stereotype due to the fact heroes only come tailored made to the specific situation and I contrast that remark to a person who is adapt in conflict resolutions but their resolutions, as good as they may be, are predictable. In my opinion, the actions of a true hero can not be predicted; generalized, at best.
An insert of particular note in the diary:
[...] under applicable Spanish law, the Obama administration has the power to bring the proceedings in Spain against former Bush administration officials to a standstill. "All it has to do is launch its own criminal investigation through the Justice Department," said one lawyer working on the case, "that would immediately stop the case in Spain."
As always,

P.S. When a blogger can discuss these issues with “the man on the street” receiving feed-back, I think we can truly pat ourselves on the back. Most of us are working very hard. Going into areas and writing about things we never dreamed about just a few years back, much less thinking we would be the ones writing about them. We are still trashing the bushes observing and analyzing all the awful and horrible creatures parading out that were hiding in them. A dirty job I know but somebody has to do it. (smile)

Excerpt:
Philippe Sands, an attorney specializing in international law, and author of The Torture Team is currently on Fresh Air explaining this investigation. According to his sources the targets of this investigation include Condoleeza Rice and Richard B. Cheney, What is likely to happen net is for the investigation to proceed, if unappealed, a court date will be set, and the targets will be advised to appear. Garzón may then issue an arrest warrant that will be valid, at least in Spain, but possibly other countries.
