"German law in this area is leading the world," Peter Weiss, vice president of the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), a human rights group, was quoted as saying in Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper's Tuesday edition.
According to the group, German law allows war criminals to be investigated wherever they may be living.
Those to be named in the case to be filed at Germany's Federal Prosecutors Office include Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former Central Intelligence Agency chief George Tenet and eight other officials.
The group is due to present details of its case at several news conferences Tuesday, according to invitations faxed to media organizations.
That group is forgetting that a group of 9/11 families filed suit in NYC in federal court against Iraq for Iraq's direct involvement in 9/11 and WON the case.
So let's see: 3,000 dead, an economy shredded for a period of time, and a change in our way of life. Versus a few prisoners who had hoods put over their heads. Hmmmm. Let me think...which one is more worthy of a lawsuit.
Investigate away, America-haters!
Your suit will amount to nothing. Deal with it. Understand it.
Now go away!
ah the wonders of globalization! when our fellow citizens go to our rivals and seek to punish us for not toe-ing THEIR line.
Aww, how cute. A little global test!
Come and get us, Germany. That is, if the last two World Wars haven't taught you anything yet.
Count on MSM to pursue this story, while viewership continues to fall.
What do alleged crimes committed against non-citizens outside the United States have to do with "Constitutional Rights"?
This is on ABC news cu it's against Americans. Will this same group of deluded leftsts file anything against the leaders of the Sudan, Iran or Burma?
So, instead of the "Chinese water torture", we now have the "American pantie torture."
*sigh*
Sometimes I think I am going mad.... Where was this group when Americans literally had their heads "handed" to them by savages?
Abu Ghraib is just a blip compared to beheadings.
Anti-American Attention Whores
We are a democratic country. They can sue here in the US if they wish. If German law is worth its salt, they should send the case over here to the proper jurisdiction.
They must have wrapped up their lawsuits against Castro's Gulag already.
Note to Peter Weiss: please personally hand-deliver all legal process to me. I'll be sure that it gets to the intended recipients. However, I make no other promises beyond that...... 8~]
Another slow week, another bogus war crimes accusation.
Given the owner of said panties, they just might have a case.... 8~D
Why are they filing them in Germany? They should be filing them in the Hague. They'd get no further, but that's the correct procedure for filing bogus war crimes claims.
Is this same group going to all this effort to file war crimes lawsuits against Al Zarqawi? Bin Laden? Al Sadr? The Taliban?
If they are in Germany they need to stay there. They'll be much happier.
