Es verdad. Con lo de los vuelos no habría nada que hacer.
En lo de las fosas no y sí, Migeru, porque la ARMH viene remitiéndose desde hace tiempo a la Resolución 47/133 (18.12.1992) y, caso de ratificar el gobierno de Zapatero, tendrían AÚN MENOS argumentos para seguir toreándolos en el tema de las exhumaciones, las identificaciones ADN, etc. (en este aspecto, lo de la Ley de la Memoria Histórica es un mal chiste).

That's right. On the [CIA] flights there would be nothing to do.
On the collective graves [from the civil war] yes and no, Migeru, because the ARMH [Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory] has been referring back to Resolution 47/133 (18.12.1992) for quite some time and, in case the government of Zapatero ratifies [the new treaty], they would have EVEN FEWER arguments to continue their delaying tactics onthe issue of unearthings, DNA identifications, and so on. (On this feature, the Law of Historical Meomry is a bad Joke).

Why would Zapatero (or the PSOE for that matter) sigue toreándolos (great word, by the way) on this issue?

Re: Shame, shame, shame (4.00 / 3)

We need a diary on the cowardly Law of Historical Memory. It's all about not rrocking the boat.

Any suggestions on how to translate 'torear' in this context?

I'll ask Etólogo to write a diary on it.

I've been meaning to write on the Law of Historical Memory and about the common graves of the Civil War.

But that is going to be some time, I've been meanining to write a lot, but I'm taking an econometrics course, and that seems to consume something like two full days to complete the assignments for.

I thought your translation (4.00 / 2)

"continue delaying tactics" was inspired, much better than my dictionary's:

PS I look forward to that diary. I can't think of anything I feel more strongly about than "historical memory." The U.S., for example, wouldn't be in Iraq today if we weren't too sclerotic and brain-damaged to remember our debacle in Vietnam. And I've long thought that both Germany and South Africa should have permanent seats on the Security Council for the examples they've set the world on that score.
