I hope the judge throws the suit out immediately.

This is a travesty.

the ACLU - what a surprise.

[SoldierDad]

I would love to see members of the ACLU placed into the hands of our enemies, and then have them experience the true meaning of "torture". What a bunch of money grubbing ambulance chasers.

[muawiyah]

First let's see the complainant in court ~ Sec. Rumsfeld has the right to confront his accusers.

Then, just announce the time and place.

They are, of course, enemy forces who were released to wonder about by the courts or other fools ~ and if the government won't take action to protect us, then there are undoubtedly public spirited citizens who will do the job for them.

Wouldn't it be nice if a bunch of Americans got together and sued these camel-riding maggots AND THEIR "LAWYERS" for participating in the jihad against America?

[Jaysun]

God Almighty. Thanks stay-at-home idiots and vote-for-democrats-just-to-show-them imbeciles. You've got what you ordered and the next course is better yet - your freedom served on a nice platter of your nation when it had a principal.

subjecting them to "torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including severe and repeated beatings, cutting with knives, sexual humiliation and assault, confinement in a wooden box, forcible sleep and sensory deprivation, mock executions, death threats, and restraint in contorted and excruciating positions," according to court documents.

I know it wrong, but 'confinement in a wooden box' for one of these cretins brings a small grin to my face.

[Txsleuth]

I knew this same group was trying to bring charges against him in Germany...I didn't know about here.

Please don't tell me that Rummy resigning has allowed them to file these charges here...ugh

During the Huk terrorist insurgency in the Phillipines following WWII any terr caught out of uniform was executed. It has been this way during most wars and insurgencies. I believe that it is supported by the Geneva Conventions.

Now they sue Rummy. He is a Patriot and we were lucky to have him serve. Let these poor little jihadis thank mohammed(may pigs be upon him)they aren't pushin up daisies.

Know how the enlightened do that moHAMmed(mpbuh) thing? Howzabout(mpgsbuh)(may pigs be upon him)?

"to be heard before Chief Judge Thomas Hogan"


He was appointed by Reagan in 1982, and according to Wikipaedia, was the one who:


"Recently, Chief Judge Thomas Hogan ordered Judith Miller of the New York Times jailed after she refused to disclose her confidential source to a grand jury. Matthew Cooper of Time Magazine avoided jail time after he agreed to reveal his source.
In May 2006, Chief Judge Thomas Hogan signed the search warrant authorizing the FBI to search the Capitol building offices of U.S. Congressman William Jefferson, the only such search in United States history.
In July 2006, Chief Judge Thomas Hogan ruled that An FBI raid on a Louisiana congressman's Capitol Hill office was legal. He rejected requests from lawmakers and Democratic Rep. William Jefferson to return material seized by the FBI in a May 20-21 search of Jefferson's office. Hogan dismissed arguments that the first-ever raid on a congressman's office violated the Constitution's protections against intimidation of elected officials. "

I hope he stumps on the terrorists layers and throws their case all the way to Iran.

[Prost1]

I thought Congress voted War against Iraq.
That makes SecDefs Rumsfeld's actions immune to lawsuit, imo.

IOW, all were treated according to the GCT!

Arrest them in pajamas, treat them as clowns.

We know about the ACLU.

Human Rights First formerly Lawyers Committee for Human Rights cites accomplishments. Among them "Everyday Fears: A Survey of Violent Hate Crimes in Europe and North America, a groundbreaking analysis of the alarming increase in antisemitic, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim hate crimes."

Also, successful suits against Bush Administration personnel and numerous projects to stop the hate crimes by you know who against you know who all.

Oh, they did manage to get an Iranian and a handful of Cubans out of jail -- no not here in the U.S. -- but in their respective countries. Hey! Clinton carried a stage Bible around on Sundays and a lot of people thought he actually went to church.

One of these days.. they are going to yank our chain once too often, I hope I live long enough to see it.

[Liberty Valance]

What a crock. The ACLU should get down on their knees and kiss Rumsfeld's feet for making sure they still have the right to file spurious lawsuits. But, I'm sure, that aspect eludes them entirely.

[KJC1]

Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First argue that Rumsfeld "authorized an abandonment of our nation's inviolable and deep-rooted prohibition against torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment of detainees in U.S. military custody."

Translation: Enemies of this nation must be treated with nothing but 5 Star, ACLU-approved treatments. They must have pillow-top beds, 500+ count sheets, and room service with fresh flowers.

"I hope the judge throws the suit out immediately."
The judge ought to turn medieval on the ACLUers, and hit them with a rack or a fine - the going rate in the 15th century used to be something like 10 stretches on a rack or 20 gold florins [about $ 1200] fine. That would give them a much better perspective on the whole thing, especially if they come short on florins.
