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. "The utter and complete failure of U.S. authorities to take any action to investigate high-level involvement in the torture program could not be clearer," says Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, a U.S.-based non-profit helping to bring the legal action in Germany." And so it begins. The Germans are not doing this. It all started with a civil lawsuit filed in Germany the Center for Constitutional Rights. Yet another American Left Wing hate group. http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/home.asp In any case, Germany has no such jurisdiction over American citizens regarding crimes committed in Iraq and/or Guantanamo Bay (an American base and American territory). |
