Spanish Court Considering Criminal Charges Against Bush Era Officials

From the folks who brought you the arrest warrant for Augusto Pinochet comes news that the same court in Spain is highly likely to issue warrants for the arrest of 6 Bush ear officials on war crimes charges. Among those whose names will be in a criminals list in Europe will be Alberto Gonzales.

Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon, who is known for his tough minded approach to international criminals, terrorists and human rights violators will be reviewing the charges, According to a report in the New York Times, a Spanish official said that it was “highly probable” that the case would go forward and that it could lead to arrest warrants.

Seeing the Bushies brought up on charges would be a real banner day for the cause of human rights and justice in the eyes of the world. I only hope this story comes to fruition and arrests are made.
