Spanish court considers trying former US officials

For those of you who wanted some justice from a possible Bush truth commission, you may be getting your wish now that Spain has opened up six criminal case investigations. Torture treatments and war crimes seem to be at the forefront of the decision to move forward with these cases. I am very surprised to see this even coming up because in all likelihood I see nothing come out of this except maybe a few headlines down the road. I do not see any arrests being made even if the six individuals are found guilty because there is no way the United States is going to extradite these individuals to Spain to face their charges. Alberto Gonzales is the biggest name being thrown under the bus, making it little in terms of name recognition from the administration. Had they decided that Dick Cheney or even President Bush had done something wrong enough to warrant investigation I would have found Spain actually making a big decision, but without the big fish to fry this doesn't even seem worthy of the time it will take to make charges or even an investigation stick.
