Revelations continue to emerge from the massive trove of diplomatic cables released by the whisteblower website WikiLeaks. The latest disclosures reveal U.S. officials tried to influence Spanish prosecutors and government officials to drop court investigations into torture at Guantánamo Bay, CIA extraordinary rendition flights, and the 2003 killing of a Spanish journalist by U.S. troops in Iraq. The documents also show the Bush administration was assured they would be shielded from scrutiny at British government inquiry into the Iraq war. Two months before the Chilcot inquiry opened in November 2009, the U.S. embassy in London reported that a top British official had vowed Britain would “put measures in place to protect [U.S.] interests” during the proceedings. The British official was quoted saying that while the Iraq war seemed no longer to be a major issue in the United States, he predicted there would be a “feeding frenzy” once the inquiry began.
