Germans Sue Rummy For Imaginary War Crimes

You have to hand it to the Germans. History may have left them behind, but they can still compete with anyone when it comes to chutzpah and moonbattery. The home of the world's most infamous war criminals has written itself a law allowing it to prosecute war crimes in other countries. A suit is being filed in German court utilizing this law to prosecute outgoing US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
No, Rummy didn't exterminate 6 million Jews. But he did preside over a military that has included a rogue sergeant who put a pair of panties on some terrorist's head at Abu Ghraib, and that forced other terrorists to listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers at luxurious Club Gitmo.
Wolfgang Kaleck, a German lawyer representing Islamic terrorists incarcerated by the USA, grimly promises:
If we fail here, we will try in France, or in Spain. We want to show that there will be no safe haven anywhere in the world for him.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and former CIA director George Tenet are also being charged. So far as I know Laura Bush and Barney are off the hook for now.
The terrifying former Brigadier General Janis Karpinski has signed up to serve as a witness for the prosecution. Until they actually manage to haul Rummy off to Germany for trial, she'll keep busy denouncing her country on talk shows and biting the heads of chickens at local carnivals.
Hunted by moonbats until his dying day — this is the thanks Rummy gets for his career of distinguished service.
