#1 "...accused Spain of staging an âinquisitorialâ trial..."

I wish they would. Something along the lines of "The Pit and the Pendulum"...

#2 Tip to lawyer. Don't mention any kind of "goats" around these guys. It drives them crazy...

#4 Actually, the proper name for the Spanish (and most of Europe's) system of justice is inquisitorial.

The adversarial system that came from British Common Law and is used in the countries she settled has the judge as a neutral arbiter, rarely asking questions. The inquisitorial system has the judge actively investigating the facts of the case. This is how Judge Garzon [sp?] indicted Pinochet, for example.
