Another intentional skirting of the point?

The laws can be identical, down to the same dotted I's and in the same pen ink.. But they are carried out by two entirely different countries, under two entirely different legal systems..

Germany can prosecute you right now for whatever hypothetical thing we want to dream up, if they wanted to... and you would still wake up every morning and go on about your business.. Unless you hopped in a plane and flew over there. EVEN if our country had the exact same law, but didn't find the evidence etc to prosecute you.

Are you now insinuating that we should all just abide by every other countries legal system and just "turn ourselves in" when they prosecute us?


msgt, the point isn't "Ha ha Rummy's not turning himself in." Far from it. The point of this story is that it apparently takes a non-U.S. legal system to recognize the errors of, at the least, one of Bush's cohorts.

Germany doesn't want to have this warrant for Rumsfeld hanging over their heads, but when they got the case and were presented a 100+ page document, they could find no reason to turn down the case.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
