Complaint filed against Rumsfeld in German court
US and German lawyers filed a complaint in a Berlin court against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former CIA Chief George Tenet and eight other civilian and military officials for their connections to abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib. The Pentagon has already started threatening Germany, and time will tell if the complaint has any chance to lead to an indictment based on the "Universal jurisdiction" for crimes against humanity. The Center for Constitutional Rights, in New York, is behind the complaint.
