Mr. Rumsfeld and Mr. Tenet Investigated for War Crimes??

Some people that are mad about how the U.S. treated them have filed a compaint with German Federal Prosecutor’s Office and because of this they might start investigating Mr. Rumsfeld and Mr. Tenet for war crimes .

I guess the German's have this German Code of Crimes against International Law where anyone suspected of war crimes can be investigated, even if they don't live in Germany or committed their crimes in Germany.

"The charges include violations of the German Code, “War Crimes against Persons,” which outlaws killing, torture, cruel and inhumane treatment, sexual coercion and forcible transfers. The Code makes criminally responsible those who carry out the above acts as well as those who induce, condone or order the acts. It also makes commanders liable, whether civilian or military, who fail to prevent their subordinates from committing such acts."

"The German Code of Crimes against International Law grants German Courts what is called Universal Jurisdiction for the above-described crimes. Article 1, Part 1, Section 1 states: "This Act shall apply to all criminal offenses against international law designated under this Act, to serious criminal offences designated therein even when the offence was committed abroad and bears no relation to Germany.” This means that those who commit such crimes can be prosecuted wherever found: they, like pirates of old, are considered enemies of all humankind."

Even if they end up not being investigated or found guilty or any of that, I hope this at least makes the new people like Mr. Gonzalez and Mr. Goss be a little bit nicer.
