Rummy charged with torture, slinks out back door
On Visit to France, Donald Rumsfeld Hit with Lawsuit for Ordering, Authorizing Torture
U.S. and European human rights groups filed a lawsuit in France today charging former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld with ordering and authorizing torture. The plaintiffs include the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights and the Paris-based International Federation of Human Rights. They say Rumsfeld authorized interrogation techniques that led to abuses at US-run prisons in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.
The complaint was filed with the Paris prosecutor’s office as Rumsfeld arrived in France for a visit. This is the fifth time Rumsfeld has been charged with direct involvement in torture since 9/11.</em>
Maybe he and the other on the lam war criminal, Kissinger, can cash in their frequent flier miles and “stay and see America” since they can’t travel too many places abroad…
