Just days after his resignation, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is about to face more repercussions for his involvement in the troubled wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. New legal documents, to be filed next week with Germany’s top prosecutor, will seek a criminal investigation and prosecution of Rumsfeld, along with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former CIA director George Tenet and other senior U.S. civilian and military officers, for their alleged roles in abuses committed at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison and at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba...
... Lawyers for the plaintiffs say that one of the witnesses who will testify on their behalf is former Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, the one-time commander of all U.S. military prisons in Iraq. Karpinski — who the lawyers say will be in Germany next week to publicly address her accusations in the case — has issued a written statement to accompany the legal filing, which says, in part: “It was clear the knowledge and responsibility [for what happened at Abu Ghraib] goes all the way to the top of the chain of command to the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld ...”
And she doesn't even have the threat of criminal prosecution in the US, like Ollie North did...
Stop this traitor's pension NOW!....
We need to be a little more select in who we promote to the rank of General.
Oh trust me. The ""fallout"" hasn't even begun to fall YET! I hate to sound like a D&G'r (doom & gloomer)...but....in this case, I'll make an exception.
I predict that the entire fallout from this 11/07 Day of Leftist, RINO & anti-RINO Stupidity will probably stun and amaze us all, before the end of this decade. Take all the 'worst case' scenarios we've gone through and multiply that by ...say....ten.
For instance, instead of tamping the anti-American rhetoric down, now that the lefties are in control, the Muslim extremists are, in their newly emboldened state (we knew that would happen), making fresh threats against the White House. Maybe Nancy Fagosi needs to inform her buds over there in the ME that she might be inadvertently caught in that 'freedom fighting pay-back attack' too...and therefore, they should wait until she and all the leftist DemRats are safely away at some OTHER spot out of state. And then, when we see all the Rats fleeing DC, we'll have a pretty good 'heads up' as to when that attack will occur, since we sure as hell won't be able to spy on their communications any more!

Another fall piece of fall out from America's day of abject stupidity, November 7, 2006 a day that will live in the hall of fame of Americans' dumbest moments.
Thank you. Quite awhile back I read an excerpt from her book. She make it plain in the excerpt that she despised Rumsfeld, pretty much blamed Abu Ghraib on him, although she was there and he wasn't. Go figure. She's a whiner.
If I may quote a quote that I know will pass Rummy's lips:
"Come and get me."
Watch, the day that President Bush leaves office, they'll extend this to include him.
She was completely derelict in her duty and is simply trying to pass the blame to others. She had no busines sbeing a general officer. None.
Those who get affirmative action/quota promotions have no honor, and they don't give a damn about it.
# Focus: Alleged roles in abuses committed at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay...
# Former Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski to testify on behalf of plaintiffs... # PENTAGON: NO COMMENT...
Universal law - Not surprising this would come from Germany
This is a new type of fascism we are facing - Ideo-fascism

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Traitor is an equal opportunity profession.
Funny how the media plays up on her being a former commander but they don't say anything about her being fired for incompetence.
BTTT!
If she's still on active duty or inactive reserve she may talk herself into the same kind of discharge that JFN Kerry got. BTW...who is going to come and get Rummy to stand trial....hmmmm?
7 Nov '06: the day America was snookered, another day, not the first, not the last. Fortunately Alqaida is even stupider and stated their intent to keep going in their ridiculous and pointless war. Fortunately, because they could have shut up about it and got in another sucker punch later, unfortunately because it isn't over, not by a long shot.
But hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel.
