Rumsfeld Afraid to Go to Germany
Because of the investigation into his war crimes, Rumsfeld canceled a trip to Germany because he doesn't want to be arrested.
As I told you guys about before, Germany has this neat law where mean people can be prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity regardless of where they live or where the crime took place. And they are investigating Rumsfeld, George Tenet and others related to the prisoner abuse debacle.
Obviously, the White House is taking it seriously, since the
Pentagon is sending Douglas Feith on behalf of Rummy because
Feith wasn’t named in the complaint. Rummy couldn’t send
Steven Cambone because of his role in overseeing the military
intelligence service accused of committing war crimes, and also
because Cambone like Rummy is named in the complaint.
As the Left Coaster so eloquently puts it:
You know we have sunk a long way when we have to get
lessons on war crimes, international law, and
accountability from the Germans.
