Three U.S. soldiers put on `wanted' list (Spain)

Should Sgt. Shawn Gibson, Capt. Philip Wolford or Lt.-Col. Philip de Camp touch down in that country, they could be arrested in connection with the deaths of two journalists during the invasion of Iraq.

On April 8, 2003, the three members of the 3rd Infantry were stationed in the tank that fired on the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad, killing the two journalists, one of whom — cameraman Jose Manuel Couso Permuy — was a Spanish citizen.

The U.S. Central Command determined that the unit's actions were justified because insurgents had fired on them from the hotel and surrounding areas as U.S. forces were completing the Iraq invasion.

Last month, a judge in Madrid issued arrest warrants for the soldiers, saying they might have committed murder and a "crime against the international community" by firing on the hotel.

also: Germany wants Rummy and Belgian courts wanted Cheney, Franks, Powell and smirk but chickened out.

shouldn't the officers in charge of these 3 soldiers be wanted too?
