Herr Pot, Meet Kettle
I saw this on Brit Hume's show the other night. Donald Rumsfeld is probably not going to attend the international security conference in Munich because the German government is not sure whether or not he's going to be arrested for war crimes.
Rumsfeld was among ten high-ranking US civilian and military officials named in a criminal complaint filed November 30 with a German federal prosecutor by a US legal rights group seeking an investigation into the Americans' role in the torture and abuse of detainees in Iraq (news
- web sites).Under Germany's Code of Crimes Against International Law, which was introduced in 2002, German courts have universal jurisdiction in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
asdklhjgh... Sorry, my vision just blacked out from choked-back anger. Europe needs a serious reality check. They can't even assure our diplomats that Rumsfeld wouldn't be arrested. Who are they kidding? "German courts have universal jurisdiction in war crimes and crimes against humanity"?! I guess they are experts in the matter.
In a way I wish Rummy would go, and get arrested. The rescue mission by the 1st Armored Division would be epic.
