Re: Germans to investigate and charge Rumsfeld...
I wouldnt be so quick to pooh-pooh this one. At the last minute Rummy coincidently decides not to attend the NATO summit?!? German law virtually requires an arrest warrant for Rummy be issued. That warrant is valid in the entire EU, i.e. any EU country is obligated to take Rummy into custody and hand him over to Germany to stand trial. The NATO summit will be held in a coupe weeks from now, in Latvia, an EU country. Suddenly, Rummys abstinence from the NATO summit seems somewhat less coincidental and one hell of a lot more political.
Dont pooh-pooh this, part 2: Germany has an extradition agreement with the US. We are obligated to hand over Rummy if the Germans present us with a valid arrest warrant. Bush cannot pardon Rummy for crimes he is charged with in Germany.
However, if Rummy didnt do anything wrong what does he have to worry about? Why would he worry about standing trial in Germany?
You can thank a couple of pants-wetting smarmy, liberal, democrat (aka coummist, same thing) New York City lawyers for going over to Germany and filing the complaint against Rummy that is causing this potentially huge political nightmare.
As I have said before, please, please, please help save America
do your part, shoot a couple smarmy lawyers.
