1. from your mouth to god's ears

Or keyboard...and all that...

[acmavm]

2. Where did YOU hear that? Not that I don't think it's not out of the

question considering he IS guilty of war crimes. But he ain't the only one.

[TAPat]

3. Haa Haa Haaw -

[uppityperson]

7. just heard a blurb - QuakeRadio in SF - Thom Hartman's show...

I missed the rest of it - dammit

[ContraBass Black]

5. They can charge whoever, whenever.

That doesn't mean anything will happen.

[in_cog_ni_to]

I read here on DU that that was a possibility. What does that mean? Does he have to

answer the charges? Will he be on the run the rest of his life, unable to leave the states for fear of being arrested?:bounce:

10. bush is setting up a plantation

in Paraguay where he and his criminal cabal can live out their years. Paraguay does not have an extradition treaty with the U. S. It was also a country of choice for the Nazis after WWII.

16. A real Southerner could go to America Brazil (seat of the Confederacy in Exile)

I'll bet the Brazillians of Confederate ancestry don't want Bush there.

[The Witch]

26. OMG. I was wondering what was up with that Paraguay deal.

I heard about that the other day and didn't know what was up with it. Forgot to ask.

[BOSSHOG]

28. Anything these criminals would do

should not be a surprise to decent American Citizens. And who knows better about the criminal acts they have been involved with then them? bush and his gang are sweating the American Truth knowing the truth with the dems now in charge. How more pathetic can you get?

[Vorta]

13. Means about as much as Inverness Florida passing a law against Satan.

[Bullwinkle925]

25. Probably so -

but it sure sounded good coming out of the radio.

[Generator]

11. I guess no April in Paris for the newly retired Rumsfeld

But Paraguay is nice all year round!

[Graybeard]

12. Why single out Rummy and not...

[phiddle]

17. I expect that he'll be in Paraguay before the week is over.

[Hubert Flottz]

29. He and Kenny Boy will be great pals!

The Rumbo in the Jungle!

18. He was already charged once and they dropped the charges.

But then when the thugs passed that military commissions shit they realized that America would not be punishing her own and decided to pursue further action.

It won't likely accomplish much, but it helps to get the international court established so that one day....

Still Rummie, I'd stay out of Germany was I you.

22. Probably the last time I will post this.

Rumsfeld Shouldn't be Fired, He Should be Indicted
by Matthew Rothschild

“Secretary Rumsfeld has publicly admitted that . . . he ordered an Iraqi national held in Camp Cropper, a high security detention center in Iraq, to be kept off the prison’s rolls and not presented to the International Committee of the Red Cross,” the report noted. The Geneva Conventions require countries to grant the Red Cross access to all detainees. “

http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0418-24.htm

Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfeld has not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfeld.



Further Evidence Rumsfeld Implicated in War Crimes
Please read this important post by Marty Lederman, Army Confirms: Rumsfeld Authorized Criminal Conduct.

Here's a key section, but there's more:
The Army's charges against Jordan reflect the view, undoubtedly correct, that the use of forced nudity or intimidation with dogs against detainees subject to military control constitutes cruelty and maltreatment that Article 93 makes criminal. It doesn't matter whether they are or are not "torture," as such; nor does it matter whether the armed forces should be permitted to use such interrogation techniques: As things currently stand, they are unlawful, as even the Army now acknowledges.

But then how can we account for the actions of the Secretary of Defense and his close aides?

On November 27, 2002, Pentagon General Counsel William Haynes, following discussions with Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz, General Myers, and Doug Feith, informed the Secretary of Defense that forced nudity and the use of the fear of dogs to induce stress were lawful techniques, and he recommended that they be approved for use at Guantanamo.
(The lists of techniques to which Haynes was referring can be found in this memorandum.) On December 2, 2002, Secretary Rumsfeld approved those techniques for use at Guantanamo -- and subsequently those techniques were used on detainee Mohammed al-Qahtani.

In other words, the Secretary of Defense authorized criminal conduct.

...

Today's Army charge under UCMJ Article 93 against Lt. Col. Jordan -- for conduct that the SecDef actually authorized as to some detainees -- demonstrates that Rumsfeld approved of, and encouraged, violations of the criminal law.
