1. Investigate the Spanish for their atrocities...
David ,   Tel-Aviv   (05.06.09)
Inquisition against Jews, slaughter and theft of South American natives... shame on you! A biased and opportunist judge with aiming personal exposure!
2. Probing into this matter....
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (05.06.09)
...will ultimately show why it was so important to take out Salah Shehadeh and the nature of Hamas. Kind of like....probing Jenin showed how correct Israel's claims were and ruined any credibility the Palestinians had left(if they ever had any to begin with).
3. #1 David....add this to your list

My country,the Philippines,Spain ruled over us for more than 300 years.They stole our gold and other natural resources.I wish they never came to my country.They changed our names.They looked down upon us[ancestors].All the countries they ruled a long time ago are in the Third World countries now,including South America and Mexico.Wish England ruled over us rather than Spain.
4. to #3, be careful what you wish for
Michael ,   New York   (05.07.09)
While I am in no way defending Spain's historical and current actions, be careful what you wish for. Look at the history of British colonialism around the world. They made a mess of the Middle East, India, the United States, and just about every other part of the world they touched.
5. this is good news
mattan ,   usa   (05.07.09)
i am pleased with the spanish prosecutors and governments authorities in overrulling this insane spanish judge. they should take further action against him, by stripping him of his position and power. y is he still a judge? i guess its like the u.s. where the supreme court judges are in office until they die or resign, something i totally disagree with. there needs to be a government mechanism to keep the judges in check.
6. all this was before the age of universal jurisdiction

times change
7. Let them in,swap them for some Peace now members
YSL ,   Jerusalem   (05.07.09)
8. Spanish judicial system
Lisa   (05.07.09)
it is not the system- it is judge Andreu. The prosecutors told him to drop it, the government suggested he forget it: must be one stubborn old cuss- or heavily on the take- he should retire and plant tomatoes or something equally innocent- he certainly cannot be trusted with legal matters. . Any government should force useless people like that into retirement- there are unfortunately more like him all over the world. He gives the legal profession a bad name.
