The Belgian authorities caved before His Rumsfeldness (but I agree wholeheartedly that that policy was an atrocity for the reason you mention and a few others.)

And in Spain, Garzon is Spitzer before Spitzer (without the call girls up 'till now ;-). He has been profiling himself this way for a long time. The Spanish government respects the separation of powers but has been cringing publicly to various degrees depending on who he's after. (He didn't shy away from shoving a crowbar under the lid being kept on Franco's "legacy"...)
