I nominate them for the Alliance for Justice "Nice List" this Christmas. David Corn had a clue that there were people at the US State Dept. who sought actively to quash torture prosecutions and lobbied the Spaniards to quash it.
Now those wikileaked cables confirm it.

I didn't want to listen to the cries for Hillary to retire to teach at Columbia and write her book early, but now I want some answers. Like- did you think of this on your own or did Obama tell you to do it?
Remember that nice trip Michele took to resort Malaga or Majorca to meet the King and Queen of Spain on a boondoggle some thought was too extravagant for a country facing a foreclosure crisis with a hotel floor full of their closest friends and security detail?
What did Spain get in return for dropping torture prosecution?-just tourist dollars or something more???
