MADRID — The Justice Department has failed to respond to multiple requests from Spanish authorities for help in an investigation into a local security firm suspected of being used by the CIA to conduct aggressive — and potentially illegal — surveillance of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
“I am not so pleased about it,” said Santiago Pedraz, the investigating judge in charge of the case, in an exclusive interview with Yahoo News, when asked about the failure of officials in Washington so far to cooperate with his probe. “They have absolutely not answered anything.”...

Back in 1962, the CIA got caught up in the France ‘kill-de-Gaulle’ matter. After a long investigation, the French called up JFK in the summer of 1963, asking ‘what the heck are you guys doing’....shocking JFK. He’d already fired Dulles at the end of 1962, and now realized the whole mechanism of the CIA was out of control.
Spanish government probably coming to the same realization.

I find it interesting, and largely ignored that Adelson has had rep’s at the Assange hearings in the UK. I believe that they have attended hearings there even after Adelson’s death.
