Federal Court To Hear Case Against Rumsfeld In Iraqi Torture

I just renewed my membership in the ACLU and now I know why. ACLU is filing suit in Federal Court against Donald Rumsfeld in connection with the torture scandal in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is the first time a court has examined the issue and it’s been way too long in coming.

This will add to the suit filed by Germans in the International Court and though there is little chance of that going anywhere it will complicate Donald’s life for a while. Consider it penance for complicating the lives of all those people he had tortured. Now my next question is, can a sitting President be prosicuted for war crimes?
