Spanish Criminal Investigation into Bush legal team?

Six former Bush administration officials accused in a Spanish complaint of sanctioning the torture of terror suspects should come to Spain to face justice, a human rights lawyer urged Monday.

The case against the American officials — including former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and former Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith — was brought by human rights lawyers before Spain's investigative judge Baltasar Garzon, who has sent it on to prosecutors to see if the charges merit a full investigation.
In addition to Gonzales and Feith, the complaint names former Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff David Addington; Justice Department officials John Yoo and Jay S. Bybee; and Pentagon lawyer William Haynes.
The only one of the accused to comment publicly has been Feith, who said Saturday that the charges "make no sense."

"I would recommend that Mr. Feith first of all read the complaint, and secondly that he get a very good lawyer," Gonzalo Boye, one of the rights lawyers behind the complaint, said. "If he is so sure of what he is saying — then the address of the national court is #22 Genova Street, second floor."

Nail these filthy criminals. Yoo and Addington especially. Prosecute, convict, and then waterboard them. Repeatedly.

Hey, it's not like it's some cruel form of torture, is it? Well, not according to these shyster scumbags it isn't.

It would be a wonderfully apt example of poetic justice for them to undergo exactly the same 'enhanced interrogation methods' that they self-righteously proclaimed were 'not torture'.

And if you need someone to waterboard these bastards, I happily volunteer.
