Former Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski to testify on behalf of plaintiffs... (Rumsfeld)

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 goes all the way to the top of the chain of command to the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld ."

Germany was chosen for the court filing because German law provides "universal jurisdiction" allowing for the prosecution of war crimes and related offenses that take place anywhere in the world.

Huh? They think they can sue anyone for anything, anywhere in the world?

It's time to bomb them again...

Haysus Marimba, what the eff kind of mind does this brainless wonder have? Obviously, fight or whine take on a whole new meaning with these fuckwads.

More whining here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1736434/posts

1. ConservativeMind? I think that last syllable is misleading.

[cspanlovr]

2. I'm so glad Janice Karpinski is going to testify. It pissed me off

so much that the fall guys for our policy of torture were women. Hell hath no fury...!

[TheWraith]

14. Er?

There were something like nine men convicted, and 2 women, which is pretty close to the actual ratio in the armed forces.

[cspanlovr]

16. Oops. My mistake. Why does it seem they were given more attention? imho

[TheWraith]

17. Well, my assumption

England was the one who was in some of the most famous photographs, making her an obvious focus for attention, right along with Graner.

Karpinski, though not charged or convicted of any wrongdoing, was the overall head of prisons in Iraq, and thus the logical target for accusations of slipshod oversight, effectively firewalling the higher-ups.

The other women who were involved (one who was convicted of prisoner abuse, another who got demoted for dereliction of duty in failing to report it) didn't get nearly the same level of interest.

[SteppingRazor]

5. God I hate it when you all post freerepublic links...

I never go over there unless you do, and I always wind up feeling nauseous.

10. Actually, it's probably just one white male...

[XanaDUer]

20. When I read stuff like this, I wonder what a female freeper

thinks?

I mean, really?

I presume Janis was a Clinton-era, affirmative action, don't
ask, don't tell General officer selectee? 

If this crap goes down in a German court, why would any
American stand in Iraq and continue to fight for a CinC or
country that throws war heroes like Rummie to the socialist
wolves of the "world" court? World socialists and
liberals (including Americans) will try to hang Rumsfeld
rather than Saddam....for humiliating terrorist suspects in a
prison flecked with human dna from real victims of saddam's
decades of shredding, raping, electrocuting

9. There heads will really explode

when they learn that "universal jurisdiction" is in the German Constitution because the USA practically wrote their Constitution after WW2.
With French and Russian help!

[Selatius]

12. They should prosecute Rumsfeld in NUREMBERG.

He deserves that much.

[Zangal]

13. Hmmm

All of a sudden, I understand Bush and Cheney's interest in Paraguyan real estate.

[originalpckelly]

15. The US has claimed universal jurisdiction as well...

Of course the freepervillains don't care about that, do they now?

[treestar]

18. LOL

And the US has no such authority either, right Freepy? And certainly no authority to attack other nations.

ROTFL!

Extradition only works if the attorney general agrees and you are living in 49 of the fifty states. I doubt seriously that Texas Rangers would allow any German authority to step on sacred soil there to take Rummy...and US Marshalls might find themselves in a unfair fight if they attempted to take Rummy in Texas.

You are warned!

This is what they call a general, that is, one of our troops!
