Madrid, Oct 4 (Prensa Latina) Ernesto Ekaizer, who revealed the minutes of a secret meeting between George W. Bush and ex-president Jose Maria Aznar in which they made a plot to attack Iraq, asserted on Thursday that there is enough criminal evidence to try the Spanish president.

That was the journalist’s answer to El Pais daily readers asking about the status of a lawsuit presented against Aznar by Izquierda Unida. Supported by 11 signatures, it was unadmitted by the Supreme Court and presented to the Constitutional tribunal.

Ekaizer considered it noteworthy that judge Baltasar Garzon wrote a letter on March 4, 2003, entitled “Mr. President,' in which he tried to dissuade Aznar from supporting Bush for that war, saying 'You must decide on which side to play, if on that of international and national laws, not that of marketing.' Garzon warned that the only thing that unfair war could generate was unavoidable breaking-off of international law, and on the other side, the increase of fundamentalist terrorism in a mid term, finding a platform of objective justification.

Judge Garzon has recommended 'go in depth into the eventual criminal responsibility of those who are or were responsible for this war, and if there is enough evidence to demand recognition of those responsible among them, considering 650,000 deaths are enough arguments to carry out that investigation without any further delay.'
