RE: From Watergate to Dow
I know there is a rumour of a warrent for Rumsfeld's arrest in Germany.
I think once "W" finishes his term and dares to travel abroad it could be easier to arrest him for war crimes if someone files charges. Rove, Howard, Blair and Cheney should be arrested as well.
Rumsfeld Cancels Trip Out of Fear of Arrest
Expatica, a newsmagazine for English-speaking expatriates in Germany, reports that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has canceled a trip to Germany out of fear of arrest. Rumsfeld's decision comes on the heels of a complaint filed by the New York based Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). According to the CCR:
German law allows German courts to prosecute for killing, torture, cruel and inhumane treatment, forcible transfers and sexual coercion such as occurred at Abu Ghraib. The world has seen the photographs and read the leaked "torture memos". We are doing what is necessary when other systems of justice have failed and seeking to hold officials up the chain of command responsible for the shameful abuses that occurred.
Rumsfeld originally planned to attend the Munich Security Conference this February. Attending in his place with be Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith. Feith is not among the officials named in the CCR complaint.
