Finally, the Times Notices the Spanish Story

You know, the one about how our government "persuaded" the Spanish government to clamp down on the judge who was looking into the use of torture by Americans? The one that our national press was studiously ignoring?

The New York Times finally mentioned it, but they buried it inside of one of their blogs, where they linked to a story in El País. That took some real courage, guys.

Funny thing. The U.S. claims universal jurisdiction for crimes of torture, but oh, how this Administration and the previous one squealed when the Spaniards tried to do it.
