Two investigating judges from the Spanish national security court, the Audiencia Nacional, are asking the U.S. Justice Department for details about the role played by Bush Administration lawyers in the development and approval of torture practices that were apparently applied to a number of Spanish subjects held in Guantanamo.

The judges have asked for responses by the end of October, setting up another major test for Attorney General Eric Holder. This time, the question is whether Holder will choose to oblige or stymie international criminal investigations of Bush officials for torture, in the absence of any domestic efforts in that direction.

4. Answer: Too Much Drama For Obama

The fact that the Spanish have even begun an investigation demonstrates that Obama/Holder have failed to abide by and enforce the laws and treaty obligations our greater generations fought and died to forge.
