 Rumsfeld flees France fearing arrest
 Sat. 10/27/2007 - 08:45

 Former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld fled France today fearing
 arrest over charges of ordering and authorizing torture of detainees
 at both the American-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the US military's
 detainment facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, unconfirmed reports coming
 from Paris suggest.

 US embassy officials whisked Rumsfeld away yesterday from a breakfast
 meeting in Paris organized by the Foreign Policy magazine after human
 rights groups filed a criminal complaint against the man who spearheaded
 President George W. Bush's war on terror for six years.

 Under international law, authorities in France are obliged to open an
 investigation when a complaint is made while the alleged torturer is on
 French soil.

 According to activists in France, who greeted Rumsfeld shouting
 murderer and war criminal at the breakfast meeting venue, US embassy
 officials remained tight-lipped about the former defense secretary's
 whereabouts citing security reasons.

 Anti-torture protesters in France believe that the defense secretary
 fled over the open border to Germany, where a war crimes case against
 Rumsfeld was dismissed by a federal court. But activist point out that
 under the Schengen agreement that ended border checkpoints across a
 large part of the European Union, French law enforcement agents are
 allowed to cross the border into Germany in pursuit of a fleeing fugitive.

 Rumsfeld must be feeling how Saddam Hussein felt when US forces were
 hunting him down, activist Tanguy Richard said. He may never end up
 being hanged like his old friend, but he must learn that in the
 civilized world, war crime doesn't pay.

 International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) along with the Center
 for Constitutional Rights (CCR), the European Center for Constitutional
 and Human Rights (ECCHR), and the French League for Human Rights (LDH)
 filed the complaint on Thursday after learning that Rumsfeld was
 scheduled to visit Paris.

Um, no, it's not from the nation you describe, nor any nation, it's from a
bunch of human rights groups.

Do you only see things in national terms?

And how can you say France collaborated with Germany? They were conquered
and occupied, the Vichy government was a Nazi puppet regime - you know,
like the Baghdad government is a US puppet regime, and the Kabul
government is a US puppet regime.

Anyway the US recognised the Vichy regime as the official government of
France, at the time all the terrible things you mention were happening,
right up to August 1945.

Are you implying the French have no right to take action against torturers
on the grounds that the WW2 occupation regime did evil things so they
should just stand by today and let more evil things happen?

And not only allowed
the people responsible to remain in France but remain in government
office for the rest of their lives.

You mean the US didn't buy them off like they did with so many German and
Japanese war criminals? Wonder why not. The Butcher of Lyon Klaus Barbie
got a job with the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps after the war, for
instance.

Not forgetting building the underground control bunkers in Iraq and
selling them an airforce

Maybe they met Mr Rumsfeld in Baghdad at the time, when he shook hands so
famously with Saddam Hussein, so they thought it was okay.

Not sure what that means, not much I suspect. Anyway it's entirely unclear
where you think justice would lie in this case, perhaps you'll explain.

I don't believe eternity is long enough to discuss tit for tat. Perhaps 
if weren't for some American businessmen empowering Hitler, history may 
have been different. Of course we ignore the US's effective genocide. 
Forgetting about those German Nazi collaborators that the US shielded 
and brought into the USA? Of course both Osama and Saddam where allies 
of the US.

As for the story I find it odd that credit is given for an author or the 
agency that released it. Along with the date was nearly a week ago.

Most people willing to make sacrifices for climate



Houston - Most people throughout the world are
 willing to make sacrifices to improve our 
climate. But just how much people will sacrifice
 to fight global warming is still unknown, though
 a poll shows most people will go along with 
taxation if the money is spent to improve the
 environment through better technology.
