Spain to take on Jesuit Murders

Spain has opened an investigation into the Jesuit massacre, and has expressed the possiblity of indicting 14 Salvadoran ex-military officials in its investigation of the murders at the UCA.

Interesting, as the article mentions the Spanish judge's invocation of the principle of universal jurisdiction. It has been used in pursuit of Pinochet, bin Laden, and even Henry Kissinger (maybe they should use it to pursue Jafar, too).

Here's a blog with a bit more background on this story.

Anyway, I'd be interested to hear thoughts on this. Too little, too late? Reassuring that it has not been forgotten? A boon in the fight to "shut 'er down?"
