Former US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld could soon be in trouble for the role he played in human rights abuses committed in the Guantanamo prison, a United Nations expert said.
“In a year or two, his responsibilities will be established. Wherever he goes, he will face difficulties,” Leandro Despouy, who is Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, said in Geneva today.A US bipartisan Senate report released late last year found Mr Rumsfeld and other top administration officials responsible for abuse of Guantanamo detainees in US custody.
It said Mr Rumsfeld authorised harsh interrogation techniques on December 2, 2002 at the Guantanamo prison, although he ruled them out a month later.
Mr Despouy said the “strong resistance” put forward by the former US administration to current US president Barack Obama’s decision to close the detention centre has nothing to do with the officially cited reason of “national security” considerations.
Rather they are fearful that they may be taken to task once the detention centre is closed, said Mr Despouy.

we can only hope he will be held for treason, high crimes and crimes against humanity, war crimes and if nothing else for unleashing aspartame on the herd.

Unfortunately, I’m sure we’ll be hoping in vain.
Rumsfeld sure would have to disobey his masters in a bold way to be thrown under the bus like that.
He has been such a faithful agent for the powers that be. It would be most discouraging to budding young criminals everywhere to see one of their idols fed to the wolves.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

Rumsfeld was / is a great man. When our boys in uniform were being tortured over there I’m glad someone could step up and torture them right back … 911 was not an inside job, but Iraq was. Rumsfeld was smart enough to get the hell out after the Iraq crap started.

Three soldiers of the 101st where captured in Iraq after their Humvee was ambushed. They were screwed with screws drilled into their skull and other body parts, had their genatilia cut off and stuffed in their mouth, then had their heads cut off. Then they had their bodies and booby trapped. Thankfully, when our soldiers found them they took precautions and the traps were deactivated. At least it wasn’t dirty female panties placed on their heads!

Why we are distracted by these puppets George W and Rumsfeld the puppeteers at the FED, Israel, COMEX, Wall Street are still in the process of feasting on the carcass of the Republic. I truly wish i would not find so many scum bag jews behind the scenes orchastrating things. For now they are in control like the Nazi were in Germany!
June 4th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Sure alot of the Bush brigade “could be” in trouble, but we ALL know it’ll never happen. Scum protect their own, and the current as well as future administration will NEVER punish the numerous crimes which have been committed not only by Bush, but by those prior.
Justice will never be served until our country is taken back, and guided by honest people, not murdering criminals.

As you are well aware, change is in the air. Everyone is expecting major changes, but is uncertain what to expect. All are aware of the political and economic upheavals throughout the planet, and of the chaos and confusion that extreme weather is causing. But what is underlying it all? And where is it leading? Those are the questions to which there appear to be no answers.
What is required is a change of attitude and a growth in awareness – a realization that striving for personal gain is self-defeating. Even those who appear to benefit remain discontented with their lot because they fear that unless they continue to struggle and to strive they will lose what they have gained.
But there is nothing to gain; and what is apparently gained will be lost. There is only life and love. Everything else passes, turns to ash, and blows away with the wind. To live is to love. If you are not loving, you are not living life but living distracted from life.

In the first televised news conference that Rumsfeld gave after the abuse photos surfaced he said,” I take full responsibility for what happened” Well I continued to follow the story to see if he would actually take “full responsibility” but all I saw was some low-level soldiers being tried,convicted,and locked up in prison.
I would only make the claim of “full responsibility over matters that I had full control of. Taking “full responsibility” is an admission of guilt! Why are low ranking soldiers doing time when he is the one that admitted guilt?
I may do an internet search to see if a copy of that news conference is still available..
June 4th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
The only difficulty they have to face is how much I have to talk about Water Boarding. You know Rumsfeld has never been Water Boarded Ha Ha Ha. Theres a first time for everything especially when it comes to Water Boarding

The only “difficulties” Rumsfeld will face might be something like not getting his usual table at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel next time he’s in New York. Anyone who seriously thinks that, short of an armed rebellion by millions of Americans, any of these NWO thugs is ever going to spend time behind bars or be executed for their crimes is terribly naive.
June 4th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Does that guy preach “ONE GOD’? If he does,what does he say is the “Name” of that one god?
If there is a “name that is above every name” then,is the name of the son above the name of the father? What does he teach is the name of the father? Answers to these questions can tell if this guy teaches the whole truth or if he is also confused.

Torture is not the American way, which was established by George Washington in the REVOLUTION. It was the first time in history that any group of people diD not torture or kill prisoners. Torture is the way of our “good allies” Israel and England, from whom we learned all these “enhanced interrogation techniques.”
Even more importantly, none of these detainees have ever had a trial or even a hearing. in America people are innocent until proven guilty in a trial. We really don’t know if these detainee were involved in any terrorist activity at all. Apparently about 80% of them have already been released, after years of torture, because even our jailers could find nothing against them at all!!!!!!!!
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, Gonzales, Woo, etc. etc. really need to be executed soon for their crimes against humanity. That is the only way we can atone for our murder and crimes against innocent people and set America and the world back onto a moral path before it is too late. Nothing else will suffice. Try and then execute them, or we may have to become AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARIES, as is our moral obligation.
