Spain may indict the "Bush Six" after all

Last week I wrote about how a Spanish could was likely to indict Alberto Gonzales and five other high-ranking Bush administration officials for sanctioning torture at Guantanamo.

Then I followed up with the disappointing news from the BBC that Spain's attorney general had rejected the move. The headline made it sound final: "Spain rejects US 'torture' probe"

But it's not the attorney general's decision to make. It's up to the judge in the case.

The judge in this case is Baltasar Garzon, who handled the international case against Augusto Pinochet, so he's no lightweight.

And Garzon has ordered that the Bush Six investigation remain open.

Stay tuned.
