Spain Judge investigates charging Bush over Gitmo

This was unexpected. A judge in Spain is investigating charges over Gitmo and torture, including charging Bush over it:
The Spanish courts agreed in 2009 to probe charges brought by four ex-Guantanamo detainees who say they were tortured during their detention in the camp between 2002 and 2005. 

Among those cited in the charges are Bush, US former vice president Dick Cheney and ex-defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld. 

The new law says courts in Spain can only probe atrocities committed abroad if the suspects are Spanish. 

But Ruz said in Tuesday’s judgement that Spain had an “obligation” under international treaties to investigate alleged atrocities even if the suspects were not Spanish. more
Does this really have a chance of getting up? Would Howard and Blair be connected to investigations? - probably not as the case only considers Guantanamo Bay and not what happened in Iraq.

Keep on painting George.....
