Josh Marshall: Spain Opens the Books on Bush?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

My ability to bring you the full details on this are, to put it charitably, limited by my inability to accurately translate Spanish. But it seems someone in the Spanish government has leaked to El Pais transcripts of conversations between President Bush and then Spanish Prime Minister Aznar just before the outbreak of the Iraq War. The gist seems to be that Bush was rather candid about the fact that the efforts to find a peaceful solution to the crisis were a sham and that the war was a done deal.

Link to the original story in El Pais. Could we get those who speak and read Spanish to translate this story?
