Jerk.
Pansy.
Stupid cow. SHE was the local commanding officer, at any point she could have put an end to all of it. If she was so damned concerned about prisoner treatment, she would have put aside her career and spoken up....dumb bitch.
She can stay in Germany. BTW, what standing does a German court have in the matter?
The responsibility falls on the individual in charge, on the ground. That would be the Brig. Gen.
I hope she doesn't expect to return to the U.S. ...ever. She needs to be tossed in the slammer as soon as she sets foot on U.S. soil.
She'll be welcomed back into the states with open arms as well. I'd be ashamed if this were my daughter. So ashemed i'd track her down and give her a swift kick in the...
Now that Rummy is a private citizen, who knows... I assume that we have an extradition treaty with Germany.
Maybe if Rumsfeld and his Pentagon pussies had spent more time fighting the war and less time prosecuting our troops on trumped up charges with the enemy as the only witnesses, we would be in a better position. Rummy, his Generals, the Joint Chiefs, and their staff should all be tossed out. They couldn't wipe MacArthur's ass.
You see? She was just a girl taking orders from a bully boy. Everybody understands how that can happen.

She was set down to Colonel and lost her BG's Star.
Careful, General...
You were claiming that you had no idea WTF was going on in your own command, but that someone many echelons higher than you knew everything?
Let's read that last part again:
goes all the way to the top of the chain of command to the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Hello, there! Hey, General, you're now confessing that you you're guilty!
Guess they didn't get it the first time around. Rumsfeld being DOD secty. the first time around, in the Cold War, shielding Germany's hindquarters, doesn't count for anything, I guess.
She should looe her pension over this.

This is just the beginning. The dems are going to start their "oversight" in February. They say now that impeachment is off the table. But they will uncover things in their "oversight" that COMPEL them to move to impeach Bush and Cheney. It will be their Constitutional duty. Just wait.
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.
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
