...the case could be tried in Germany based on a law passed in 2002. It stipulates that human rights violations and war crimes can be prosecuted in Germany regardless of where they took place and where the perpetrators are from. Give 'em hell, Rummy!!!

I think we need to pull all of our troops out of Germany posthaste. Maybe some of those prosecutors' time would be better spent in a bread line.

I'm sure Rumsfeld is shaking in his boots.

Time to start pulling ALL of our assets out of Germany - and demand payment of the war reparations they never paid. Should be worth a few billion by now.

A U.S. human rights group filed war crime charges against U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld...Can't he just call in some sort of A-10 attack? Hope CNN is there...

Contempt for the Courts, is becoming the only rational emotion one can feel.
I think this is a sting operation, intended to entrap us all on Contempt of Court charges.

I'd love for our few surviving WWII POWs to weigh in on Germany's stellar "human rights" record.

A U.S. human rights group filed war crime charges against U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other senior U.S. officials and military officers early this week, saying they were responsible for the torture and humiliation of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib. Of course the lopping off of heads or the stringing up of chard bodies isn't an issue of the courts is it.

Are we spiraling towards a world war with Europe?
In any event, we're in the right.

Ok- I must be tired. I know I am tired. Is this an American filing a case against the United States in a foreign country ?
"In a way, I am here with a very heavy heart.
I would have preferred that our own courts would have taken what happened seriously.
But that is not the case in the United States at the moment,Rattner said at a news conference in Berlin on Tuesday"
See what else Michael Rattner has been up to here

The fact that this is coming from the Germans makes this particularly obnoxious.

The fact that this is coming from the Germans makes this particularly obnoxious. Why are people getting upset about this, or even blaming Germany? There's nothing that indicates German prosecutors or courts are taking this case. All it is is a publicity stunt by some disgruntled Americans.
It worked: They got some free publicity. Big deal.

chard bodies? They are slashing turnips, too, but I didn't think this was one of those vegetarian issues.
