Re: Spanish Torture Investigation into Gitmo to Continue

Keith,

Neither US law nor the thoughts or ideas of non-Spanish residents and
or citizens has a place in a Spanish courtroom. The US has held trials
of foreign nationals that committed crimes against US property and or
US citizens that took place on foreign soil.... Spain (as every bit
Sovereign and legitimate as the US) and its courts has the very same
prerogative. As a member of the EU it has co-opted trading rights/
regulations within that Organization that would have to include/
exclude all of the EU just to get to Spain... That ain't gonna
happen.

If that court, under Spanish law, is/was found to be competent to hold
the trial.... it will happen and the rulings will be recognized.

It has nothing and everything to do with the haphazard US Bravissimo
and tolerances for stepping outside their own constitution.
