Rachel Maddow on the recent decision by a Spanish court to look into allegations of torture by former Bush administration officials.

And in a devastating piece in Sunday's Washington Post, Americans learned that the waterboarding of Bush all-star terror detainee Abu Zubaida "foiled no plots" and "produced false leads."
