Detainees' lawyers want Rumsfeld tried for war crimes
Donald Rumsfeld may be looking forward to living out his golden years at his vacation home on the Eastern Shore, but lawyers who represent detainees at Guantánamo Bay have other ideas. In a message just sent to reporters, they say they intend to file war crimes charges against Rumsfeld next week in Germany, arguing that his departure from the Department of Defense means that he's no longer entitled to immunity from prosecution.
I don’t know that they’ll be successful in anything more than giving Rummy a massive frigging headache, which is approximately one-millionth what he deserves, but I can’t say I’m broken up they’re giving it a shot. What has happened to the detainees at Gitmo is only the tip of the death-strewn iceberg over which this wankstain presided.
