I was unable to access the wikileaks cablegate website so I searched on other websites and came across this article. Due to Bush's interrogations while he was president, a sensitive message was delivered to Spain by a Florida senator. The message was: Don't indict former President Bush's legal brain trust for alleged torture in the treatment of war on terror detainees. Doing so would chill US-Spanish relations."
The "episode" that the article is referring to relates to five captives on Guatanamo Bay that have ties to Spain. However, it was done to stop a former Spanish attorney from investigating a torture complaint. The Bush insiders were accused of ordering the abuse of these detainees following the September 11, 2011 attacks.
