Spain Reminds The USA How Democracy Is Supposed To Work

From ABC News Online:

"In Spain, 15 suspected Al Qaeda members have been ordered to stand trial for the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

Judge Baltasar Garzon has indicted 40 people on terrorism charges, including Al Qaeda's chief Osama Bin Laden.

His investigation into the terrorist network began before the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States and helped authorities to arrest 11 people three months after they occurred.

Judge Garzon has ordered 14 being held in Spanish custody and a Syrian-born Spanish journalist for television network Al-Jazeera to face trial on a series of charges, including mass murder.

The trial is expected to be held within a year."

Sounds a lot mroe democratic and just than whisking people away to Gitmo for two years or more without charge, eh?
