Many FReepers have feared the day when US soldiers are no longer going to be able to travel outside the US without risk of being prosecuted. It seems that day is coming closer.

In other news: Spanish wine and other exports to the USA take a dramatic dive at time when the Spanish economy is beginning to mirror Germany and France.

Hay Judge....remember the Spanish American War? Maybe you need to go read back up on it. What shall we take this time? Toledo? Or just go straight for Madrid and remove the socialist cancer there?

If you go into a "WAR ZONE" to make lots of cash in a "HOSTILE AND DANGEROUS" place as a journalist, you might get killed. That is a fact!

The Germans, Brits, US, French and others had reporters die. It's like going to a race track getting in a race car and if you get killed your family suing the Formula one car builder. You went there completely voluntarily for reasons of "FAME and FORTUNE". If you die in the process, while truly tragic for you, it's your problem.

Had Heraldo gotten shot in the head in Afghanistan or Iraq, it would have been on him. I bet if you asked him and he answered truthfully you’d find out that he knows this as well.

So why do judges do this then? Why this type of legal case? Because Spain went anti-war after the Spanish elections and these issues ALL become political battles in essence. Example is the Italian reporter whose rescuer was shot dead. It was turned into a political issue by the socialist movement in Italy. Lets think about this. I go to Iraq as a agent to rescue someone from terrorists (In reality I’m paying ransom). Do you think this is dangerous? Yes, it is, in case you didn’t know. Especially if you can’t use headlights, don’t follow instructions and no one knows who you are and where you’re going (Because Italy does not want to advertise that they pay ransom for hostages).

This judge will continue to fall on death ears UNLESS the MSM and some bleeding heart liberal in the US pick up on it and use it for THEIR political ulterior motives.

BLUF = You do dangerous things, you may die.

I'd like to see the Spanish try to enforce that order. What a joke.

My son, a Junior at Wm & Mary, (and a recent returnee from Afghanistan) says the LTC in this cock-up is a math teacher there. Time to circle the wagons.

Hmmmm. If I got into a car, which I knew had faulty brakes, and I drove it 70mph on the highway...Do you think, maybe, I should expect to have an accident?

Here's a newsflash: If a reporter chooses to stay at a hotel in a war zone, probability is high that he or she may be injured or killed. They chose to be there...they are responsible for whatever happens to them.

In 2003, some moonbats filed a criminal complaint in Belgium against Tommy Franks for genocide in Iraq. The Belgians took this seriously for a while - until Washington threatened to pull U.S. investments and move NATO headquarters. There was some speculation that this would cost about 50,000 jobs in Belgium. A Belgian appeals court then dismissed the complaint on technical grounds. I could carve a stronger backbone out of a banana. I predict a similar outcome here.

The Spanish can't forget their problem with the Maine in Cuba. Too bad they don't have to pay for the rape of Central and South America.

I'd hope the indigenous population, the descendents of those peoples would sue Spain for the pillaging and murders of their ancestors.

Better hide and run away before we say "Neeeeh!" to you a second time.

This was battle in the midst of a war. If you aren't one of the combatants or you don't live there you don't belong there. If you are there and get your stupid head blown off its your fault.

A spanish judge is threatening our boys and girls
in uniform, serving our nation.
Sounds like a declaration of war by the spanish judge.
Is it proper to threaten a judge from another country?
For this case .... I think so!

Any assault upon our GIs or veterans who were once GIs will be considered an assault upon the USA, Judge, you shi*t for brains SOB!

The insane now reign in cowardly Spain,
all across that foggy, soggy plain,
up to their necks in Islamic nuts,
they hope to appease by kissing their butts.

So the terrorists hide in hotels, with noncombatants, in violation of several tenants of organized warfare, and when they draw fire, the U.S. soldiers are blamed? This is exactly the sort of rank double standard that Israel has had to bear with the Eurotrash; the claim is utterly empty and reveals nothing but the hatred of the U.S.

Of course, there's no mention of what Spanish media guy did to earn a tank shell in his grille. When you run around a war zone as a non-combatant, you do so at your own peril.

FYI. The family of Jose Couso traveled to the US in Setember to be with Cindy Sheehan.
