This in from the Daily beast blog: Spanish prosecutors will announced Tuesday that they'll push ahead with an investigation into six Bush administration officials for allegedly aiding and abetting the torture of detainees captured as part of the war on terror. The Bush Six are former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Federal Appeals Court Judge and former Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee, University of California law professor and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo, former Defense Department general counsel and current Chevron lawyer William J. Haynes II, Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff David Addington and former Under-Secretary of Defense Douglas J. Feith. Read the item here.

For another view of this, here's Jane Mayer's New Yorker piece on Phillippe Sands, the British barrister who gets credit for being among the first to suggest the Bush officials would face international criminal charges.

As for torture allegations, here's the Red Cross report on how U.S. interrogators treated the high-value detainees in secret CIA prisons. CIA director Leon Panetta last week ordered those prisons closed.
